but we can now say emphatically, that the function of our entire metabolism is dependent on light.”
Prof. Fritz-Albert Popp
Autonomic Response Testing (ART) has taken the art and science of muscle testing to an entirely different level. For the clinicians who find themselves working with more difficult and confusing cases, ART offers a fairly quick and amazingly accurate method of digging deeper, providing a more accurate path to choose, and saving huge amounts of patient time and money. And, it could not have shown up at a better time since the chronic health conditions of patients worldwide today are becoming much more confusing and much more difficult to treat.
What is ART? ARTesting is an extremely efficient way of evaluating the bodys autonomic nervous system’s response to a specific stressor or a group of stressors.
The Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) is the portion of our nervous system that requires no conscious thought and functions automatically throughout the day.
Balance of the body is controlled by two portions of the ANS the first being the Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS) which is the nervous system that is dominant during times of stress (mental, physical, and chemical).
The second part of the ANS is known as the Parasympathetic Nervous System (PNS) which is dominant during times of relaxation or deep altered states. We need both of them working equally to maintain a proper tone within the body.
The ANS helps to control the beating of our hearts; the rise and fall of blood pressure; the detoxification of the body’s poisons; the digestion, assimilation, and elimination of our foods; the balancing of all our hormones; proper immune system responses; proper blood sugar levels; maximum brain function; and every automatic function of the body’s organs and glands.
ART gives us a way of evaluating what stressor(s) are interfering with proper function of the ANS.
How do we apply the stressor to the ANS using ARTesting? The ANS receives information from our biofields. Our body’s biofield is an accumulation of electromagnetic energies emitted from all of our cells, tissues, organs, and glands. Although the body’s biofield (infrared spectrum of light) is not visible with the human eye, it is detectable with some very sophisticated and sensitive equipment.
This biofield, or light field, is produced and emitted by the body and through some very peculiar properties of light; it is also carrying information from our surroundings, in the form of electromagnetic signals, back into the physical body. The ANS then has an opportunity of responding to that electromagnetic/stress signal.
Biophysicists such as Fritz-Albert Popp, Phd, have discovered that the body produces photons of light called biophotons. These biophotons are stored and released from the nucleus of our body’s 70 trillion cells. And these biophotons carry information within and between cells. Dr. Popp has written and published eight books and more than 150 scientific journals (International Institute of Biophysics). A great analogy here is how light is used with fiber-optics to carry the electromagnetic signal of our voice to someone in Europe. Light carries information in the form of electromagnetic signals. Scientists have calculated that one color of a beam of light can carry 200 terabits (terabit=one trillion bits) of information per second.
The entire Library of Congress has only 30 terabits of information in it.
Homeopathic preparations of hormones, small samples of heavy metals (mercury, lead, arsenic, and cadmium) microbial-derived frequencies, foods and preparation of food additives, vials of environmental and microbial toxins are just some of the stressors we use with ART. These substances are introduced into the patient’s biofield with the help of specialized light-carrying devices called Signal Enhancers.
There is no physical contact with the potential stressor. Only electromagnetic signals of the substances carried by photons of light are allowed into the biofield. If the body recognizes any of these signals as a stressor, through a neurological process carried from the ANS to the brain and the brain back to the body, a change in muscle tone can be observed.
This change in muscle tone can be evaluated with a very simple muscle test. This is not a muscle strength test. The muscle will actually lose its ability to lock the joint.
Other stressors that can be evalated wi the use of ART include transgeneration thoughts, destructive emotions, environmental allergies/sensitivities dental problems (such as incompatible dental materials and chronic infections), geopathic stress, and electromagnetic frequency stress (cell phones, cell phone towers, microwaves, un-insulated home power wires).
Using ARTesting to perform all of the testing mentioned above can actually be accomplished within a very short period of time–usually within 2 hours. Because there are no two of us exactly alike, the treatment will vary with each individual. ART is also very effective in helping the practitioner to to detect the uniqueness in each patient and help to determine the most efficacious treatment plan.
Why is ART so accurate and such an improvement over other similar forms of bio-feedback or muscle testing?
Autonomic Response Testing is one of the most reliable and accurate forms of muscle testing. If performed consciously by a well-practiced practitioner, traditional laboratory results cannot even come close to the reliability and accuracy of ART. And, it allows us to participate in the patient’s health conditions on levels that cannot be experienced with any other diagnostic procedures. No doubt, one of the primary reasons that ART has been found to be such a great diagnostic tool is its ability to detect when the body’s deep regulatory abilities have been altered. Evaluating for these very basic regulatory processes, and detecting alterations in these processes, is critical for receiving the correct information.
ART uses tools such as polarized light filters, signal enhancers (amplifies the light field and the electromagnetic signals), and therapy localization to detect aberrations in these body regulation procedures. The first of thee processes is called neurogenic switching and the next is referred to as bloced regulation. These are terms that are used within the ART community and are not addressed or discussed in outher diagnostic method
Neurogenic Switching
.
Neurogenic switching describes a phenomenon in which there exists neurological disorganization within the body. To define this using a more simplistic model, switching is an extraordinary event in which the polarities of the body are reversed.
In eighth grade science we learned that whenever there is an electrical current there exists a magnetic field that associates itself with this current. In other words, the body has a polarity – a positive and negative pole or North and South Pole, if you prefer.
Switching refers to these poles becoming reversed. In other words, the positive pole now exists where the negative pole should be and vice versa.
We understand that some scientists believe that a pole reversal, or shift, may have occurred here on the earth about 800 million years ago which would explain many of these cataclysmic events that occurred about that time.
Blocked Regulation
Blocked regulation is a phenomenon that occurs when the body’s cells lose their ability to produce coherent light. Light coherence is a term that describes lights’s ability to focus much like a laser light. Laser light is very focused and thus coherent. Light produced by a flash light is diffuse and not coherent. The light produced and released by our cells is more coherent than any man-made laser. If the light stays focused (coherent), it maintains its ability to carry information in the form of electromagnetic signals.
A coherent state is when the body’s light (biophotons form our cells) leaving the body simultaneously re-enters the body carrying information in a holographic pattern.
In other words, each photon carries all of the information contained in all of the other biophotons about every cell in the entire body.
Every cell in the body knows instantaneously what is happening in every other cell in the body. Once the body looses its coherency and the light becomes more like a flashlight than a laser, the cells lose their ability to communicate with each other.
It would be like a one group of cells speaking French, another group speaking German, while another group is speaking Latin.
With the use of polarized light filters and signal enhancers, we now have the ability to determine if blocked regulation exists, how much regulation has been lost what has caused it and how to remedy it.
If a practitioner is not looking for neurogenic switching and blocked regulation prior to their testing procedures, there is no guarantee that the information received from the body is going to be correct.
The 7 Factors commonly responsible for blocking Regulation
Surgeries, scars, traumas, injuries, root canals, infections. These can be treated directly and often have quick results. People will say that they have never been better since that surgery or injury. Chronic, low-grade infections are quite common today and drag down immune system function and create ANS interference. Frequently the patient with hidden, chronic, infection will say they “know something is wrong but can’t figure it out”. The often find temporary relief with anti-inflammatories.
Interference Fields are based on the concept that trauma can produce long-standing disturbances in the electrochemical function of tissues and a local disturbance might cause symptoms in unrelated and distal sites. Scars and scar tissue are considered to be very significant interference fields. Scar tissue has a different membrane potential than normal cells, and when a cell has lost its normal membrane potential, the ion pumps in the cell wall stop working and abnormal minerals and toxic substances accumulate inside the cell. As a result, the cell loses its ability to heal itself and resume normal functioning.
Neural therapy corrects the disturbance in the tissue by re-establishing the normal electrical conductivity of cells via therapeutic local anesthetic.
One common combination anesthetic is Traumeel and procaine injected into trigger points and rigid muscles.
While Traumeel is anti-inflammatory, stimulates tissue healing, and has an analgesic action, procaine acts on the cell wall to allow the ion pumps to resume normal action and restore the membrane potential, correcting the bioelectric disturbance at a specific site or nerve ganglion. By reestablishing the normal electrical conductivity of cells and nerves, the disturbed functions are also restored to normal, and the patient returns to health as far as this is anatomically still possible. Intended goals include pain alleviation and antihistamine and antihyperergic effects, and those with chronic pain, orthopedic disorders, circulation disorders, and more can benefit from this form of therapy.
The number one source is mercury fillings in the mouth. Other sources of toxicity are car exhaust, air pollution, water pollution, smoking, paint, dyes, sewage, pigments, and some sea foods. Symptoms of toxicity include a hard time making decisions, memory problems, and lack of clarity and precision in thought and behavior. Heavy metal toxicity becomes the priority for most everyone at some time in the treatment program. It takes time and patience to clean out these destructive poisonous substances.
Trauma, abuse, neglect, addiction, chronic negative affirmation, suppressed emotions by conscious or unconscious means, (including drug use), cause a great deal of pain in human existence. In general, our society has little understanding of how to recognize and effectively deal with psychological stresses, often because we live in judgment and fear of strong emotions. The healing of these is simple once we get down to them. We bury our own being behind these traumas from the conclusions we make about ourselves that is usually faulty.
Sugar, dairy, wheat, and other foods that are eaten regularly can cause problems in our systems. Once this is recognized and stopped by removing the food, improvement is very rapid. For instance, I used to get pneumonia and or sinusitis every year. When I quit dairy products, these illnesses stopped occurring. Often other lab testing is needed to determine the minor allergens.
Geopathic Stress, Earth radiations, Cosmic radiations, x-rays, cell phones, electrical towers. These energies affect us greatly and few people know about them or their effects. There are simple ways to protect yourself if they are a source of nervous system interference for you.
From cosmetics, body care products, cleaning products. Our systems can become sensitized to chemicals used in common products. There are products we can buy and use that do not contain these substances. Once these substances are discontinued, patients slowly get better as they detoxify.
