> Ray, can you help me with this kinesiology concept? You are not the first person whose opinion I respect who trusts kinesiology. But my mind just can't grasp the science of it. If there was some sort of scientific explanation... I had a flaky woman (not flaky because of kinesiology - just flaky in general) once hold a bottle of some supplement up to me (through my coat and clothes if I remember correctly) and then made me hold my thumb and first finger together and she used the effort to pull them apart as the determining factor as to whether or not I needed the supplement. She wasn't very impressive, to say the least. But I have heard of so many trustworthy people relying on it to completely discredit it. Thanks in advance.

>Thanks Simus! I saw around 5 or 6 kinesiologists before I found one I was happy with. Kinesiology isn't a therapy itself, more a feedback tool to let the body give answers to questions asked of it (does sound flaky, sorry!). The reliabilty of it is only as good as the person asking the qestions - and is also reliant on the clarity of the patient's body about their condition. Some kinesiologists do use that finger test, but I would trust one finger test to give a supplement - it's too open to bias from the practitioner - it's very easy to will something to work.
The kinesiology I use requires arm, leg, skin pinch, tongue, neck, arm & leg length tests, eyes open and closed, before a supplement is given - the body is also given the chance to say 'i don't know' to any of these tests, as well as yes or no.
I really feel you need around an hour and a half for each session - personally, I've found it takes a lot of sessions to start to see a pattern developing.
Hope that wasn't too confusing!
Ray
