Applied Kinesiology was created by George Goodheart. George, who died
a few months ago (nearly 90) was a close friend of my wife. I knew
him for many years. A lot of people misuse AK for nutritional testing
by having a person hold a food substance or supplement in his hand and
then testing a muscle. They claim they are testing the energy field
of the subject. This type of thing upset George to no end. His
concept for nutritional testing was for the subject to chew a bit of the subtance and
hold it in the mouth while a muscle was tested. Taste receptors are
wired into reflexes. When an animal tastes something inappropriate it
will often reflexively spit it out. This is an evolutionary mechanism
that works through neuro circuits. It is a physiological mechanism
that does not require invoking energy fields and the like. Yhe
International College of Applied Kinesiology does not endorse many of
the odd twists that been added by "new age" practiotioners over the
years. Oh....and Quackbusters sucks!
