[cancercured] Re: Applied Kineseology -- real or bogus?

Mike

Goodheart did the natural medicine world a big favor when he
discovered Applied Kinesiology in 1964. However, like most science
and art, AK has evolved. I have seen others and I have used AK with
very good results over the years. Many people use it like dowsing.
Dowsers and people who use these "odd twists" can often find problems
and solutions others cannot.
