Food Intolerance Test - Kinesiology Cuts the Mustard

Many of the symptoms that plague our modern life can be related to the foods we eat. Early symptoms frequently include:

Skin Problems Insomnia IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) Tiredness and Fatigue Headaches Weight Problem Sinus Problems Depression Bloating

Wheat intolerance and dairy intolerance are two very common food sensitivities.

The holistic, alternative therapy Applied Kinesiology is less well known than its counterparts, homeopathy and reflexology. Many therapists including chiropractors incorporate it into their practice as a means of testing a vast array of factors that may affect one's health and wellbeing.

A number of people I know could have been helped sooner if they were willing to try this amazing alernative therapy. A friend has recently been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, another with coeliac disease (after having a diagnosis of IBS for over forty years) and a large number of parents have commented on their child's recent eczema flare up.

Food Intolerance Test - the story of my Grandson

My grandson was in fact one of those children. Yes, we assumed, being May here and the hayfever season, that pollens would be the culprit. He has had eczema since he was born, and was fed on Nutramagen, a non-dairy baby formula when breastfeeding stopped.

His eczema usually affects his legs and arms. But recently he looked more like a red panda than the little boy we know. His eyes became brightly and heavily red-ringed with dry scaly skin and the eczema travelled down his face in patches as the day went on. It did not seem to irritate him, but obviously this new look provoked comments and reactions from other kids and parents.

Two doctor appointments later, and more oils and potions to administer daily, the eczema failed to surrender or to fade. Finally my daughter made the appointment I've been suggesting for a very long time. She contacted the kinesiologist - the very same one I've used on occasions over the past ten years.

There are several wonderful things about a kinesiology food intolerance test. Apart from being simple, non-invasive and very thorough, the main advantage in this instance was the use of 'surrogate testing.'

What is Surrogate Testing in Kinesiology?

Surrogate testing allows someone (eg.the parent) to act as surrogate for the individual who needs testing. My grandson is only 3 years old and is comfortable with neither strangers nor new places. No problem, and I knew this. I trained in Kinsiology some years back, and though I do not practice professionally, I've used it in the past when I taught kids with special needs in mainstream schools. I carried out the test on the child's mum, with the girl in question simply holding her mum's hand. The girl was not active in the muscle test.

My grandson did not even have to hold his mum's hand, but he played happily in the room.

My Grandson's Result of Food Intolerance Test - S U G A R .

Wow, I was not prepared for the result - sugar. We had no idea that sugar could trigger an eczema flare-up. How true could that be for so many kids today!

Undeterred and having tried the mainstream health route with no significant effect, my daughter began to change his diet. She was also asked to reduce wheat and dairy for the next few weeks too. You may not believe your eyes when you read here how much sugar is in breakfast cereal.

The proof of the pudding, as they say is...

The sugar-free diet is doing its stuff. Just one week later his eyes and face are pretty clear now. His skin is beautifully soft and clear, and his eyes are so bright and twinkly he radiates delight. Furthermore he is a changed boy. He's always been a happy boy but NOW he is so much happier, more outgoing, has more energy, never stops talking and is less moody. Not only did his preschool comment on the change in him - the teacher asked for the Kinesiologist's number for a family member with a long-term health issue that has never been resolved by traditional medicine.

Sugar may be the hidden danger, but Kinesiology is most definitely the hidden gem. Totally personal and individual to you and your body. Applied Kinesiology works on a bio-feedback system. After all you could say out bodies are in perpetual change mode, adjusting physically, chemically and emotionally to accomodate the onslaught of life and environment.

NOTE: Don't take the test if you are not committed to adjusting your diet afterwards. It's your health and happiness, or your child's welfare and future at stake here.

A food intolerance test is only one of the unbelievable range of kinesiology treatments available.
