What is Applied Kinesiology:
The science of AK is based on the study of the body’s vital energy (Chi) and biofield (electro-magnetic field) surrounding the body. AK is a form of muscle testing which allows the doctors to assess the functioning of the vital organs associated with various pathways & muscle groups. AK is also used in determining which foods, supplements and medicines will improve or impede a patient’s health. In this manner, they ensure that all supplements prescribed to patients are beneficial. AK is also a quick and non-invasive method (no needles) to discover allergies of all kinds, parasites, candida, viruses, heavy metal poisoning, chemical toxicity, etc.
