Muscle testing

Hi everyone, does anyone have any input on muscle testing? I saw a lady today who does muscle testing, she tested my antibiotics and malarone (which I'm taking for babesia) and she said they came up very weak and yet the cryptoplus and artemisin came up very strong for my body (meaning that's what my body wants). She also said that Epstein Barr virus came up and not Lyme or co-infections. I've been treating Lyme for a year and babesia for a few months, was diagnosed through ignex. I was also told I had a tooth infection at the dentist but this practitioner said I definitely did not test for any type of bacteria infection, so she cautioned me on pulling the tooth. I feel so very lost like I'm almost getting too much different information from different practioners and people. I really don't know who or what to believe any more!!! Any advice, input or comments are welcome (even if it confuses me more). Thanks!

Thanks ArtAngel for your reply! I don't really know anything about EDS, I don't think there is a practitioner around my area that does it. I sent a message to my doctor about the results I got with the muscle testing and I'm really curious what he'll say! Wouldn't it be nice if there was just a straight acurate answer that we could know exactly what to do to get well, it's all such a trial and error it seems!

I do thing the EDS or EDT is better but have been amazed at some muscle testing.

I also echo others here- your gut is the best indicator. Over time it will tell you when you are on the right track and when you aren't.

I agree. Muscle testing fully depends on practitioner and the school he or she is using to treat you.

I think it was the most important tool for my healing, because I found 2 practitioners that were good.

It felt like getting x-rayed, and they were only pushing my arms...

I learned it and since then, I use it extensively for the last 10 years +, and would not be healed from lyme if I hadn't found it.

I was in very bad condition, barely able to stand up, a total wreck.
I owe a lot to muscle tests. I used ART from dr. K, a very sophisticated school of kinesiology.

Your story really hits home with me. I don't have an official diagnosis yet but I've been seeing my ND for my symptoms and waiting to see an LLMD, thinking I most likely have Lyme and/or Bart. I've been bitten by so many ticks it's not funny. And same as with you my ND tested me for antibiotics and said they did no good for my symptoms, but instead found that my body really liked a malaria drug. As a result he was convinced I have a tick-bourne intracellular parasitic infection. And again like you, I have a tooth infection. Mine has come and gone for a year or more and I started taking an antibiotic for it (penicillin). I'm not sure if it is the new homeopathic my ND gave me or the abx, but I've started to see some improvement in some symptoms. It's got me really confused since my ND doesn't think it's anything bacterial.

I have a lot of trust in my ND as well. A few years ago I developed a cough that was eventually attributed to acid reflux, so they did an endoscopy and diagnosed me with some something called Barrett's esophagus. Mine was early stage, but it was one or two cellular mutations away from cancer. They told me to come back every 3 years for a follow up endoscopy and take Prilosec the rest of my life. Instead, I took a friends advice and went to see my ND for the 1st time. At my follow up endoscopy they told me the Barrett's was completely gone and I didn't need to schedule another follow up. NDs can do some pretty amazing things.

That's a difficult situation.
But tooth infections can be extremely serious. I realize you have your doubts, but I highly recommend getting another opinion from another dentist - ideally, a holistic dentist if you can find one.
Tooth infections can be really serious, so I would proceed with caution on that. Pulling a tooth is an extreme measure, but some times, it's necessary.

I have done muscle testing (and something else somewhat similar). In those cases, it just sent us in circles for years with no real improvement.

I have confirmed things via testing that directly conflicted with the muscle testing/FCT. I had my serious doubts after giving it a fair trial (years) and with the labs not confirming their findings, I moved on.

I realize that muscle testing can be very valuable and helpful to people. I'm happy it helps/works for them. For us, I am not a believer at all any more and choose to not do it.

Kid#1: Extremely sick for several years, very difficult to treat, but doing great now!
Kid#2: Very sick now despite being treated for years, still very bad
Kid#3: Generally good but relapsing off/on.
Me: Adv Labs positive 2016 (suspected I passed to my kids)-not as sick as others, mostly battling fatigue and yeast issues (heart/kidney issues resolved)
Treating with herbals now.

Tony, is the painless tooth alive or dead?

If it died, you feel zero pain, as the nerves died. A fast test is to put ice or anything very cold ONLY on that tooth and see if you feel the cold.

You could put a small spoon on the freezer and ask someone to try to touch only one tooth briefly with that spoon, to see if you feel the cold (sometimes it's painful though).

Dentists will use dry ice to check if the tooth is alive or not.

As I said, once the tooth dies, it can harbor all sorts of infections and you feel NIL. You may only feel when great part of the bone under the tooth becomes too bad.

The bone pain is a dull pain, though, in my experience. It's never an acute pain, like teeth pain.

I pulled 7 teeth off, all dead, some with root canals, some I did not know were dead. ALL of these dead teeth were fully infected under. But X rays showed nothing. The dentist made me even sign a paper saying he was not responsible if he found nothing after pulling the teeth. I signed.

but you gotta see his face, every time he pulled my teeth off. He was disgusted and surprised to find all bones already consumed by bad infections....

Hey Tony, if you could see a Dr. K's practitioenr, they could answer that question to you through energy tests.

They are very good at testing teeth.

I can just talk of own experience. Two teeth were testing bad during lyme, and my 2 ART practitioners kept saying, take them off, on and on. I pulled these 2 teeth, and they were infected, really badly. They were right, my dentists were wrong (I went to 5 dentists who said my 2 teeth were fine!!).

I had dull pain in one of them. The dull pain stopped the moment the anesthetic effect disappeared. For good! Until today, that dull pain I had for a decade or more (very light, but certainly there) disappeared.

I felt a relief, but I can't say I got healed from lyme due to that. I don't think it's a direct cause. I do think though that letting a bad infection grow in the mouth is not a good idea. The dentist showed me what was inside (he showed me in a spoon!!!), and THAT stuff inside my mouth was not a good idea.

it's like if you have an open infected wound on your skin for years, decades, what good can that do?

Headaches can have to do with teeth, with a wrong bite, with teeth infections, with toxins, infections of the brain, simply meridians in trouble etc...

An ART practitioner can look into all that, if he is good.

If the tooth stopped aching, it either healed, or died. Any dentist here can make a fast test to see if it's still alive in 1 second (ice test).

If it died, it probably died from infection, right? So there must be a mess there.

Years later after lyme, I started having heart problems, insomnia, high blood pressure etc. My lyme dr told me it was one tooth. I pulled it off, and that same night, I could sleep again. All heart crazy symptoms stopped for good after day 2 or 3 after the extraction. They never returned (about 3 years I have no more heart symptoms)!
