First of all, do not change any dosage of your prescription medications based on this type of testing. That must be left to your doctor.
While testing nutrients (or foods or water), if possible, place them in your mouth to get a taste of them (not hydrochloric acid or other potentially harmful ones). If there is a strong odor to them, smelling while holding them will suffice. It has been discovered that within seconds of food being placed in the mouth or smelled, it is also present in the brain. If they cannot be placed in the mouth, then hold them.
Homeopathics and energetic-type essences should be tested by holding them or placement on the body.
A nutrient point that tests weak, especially if many of them test weak, could have various causes creating this weakness. One of these causes can be poor digestion brought about by a deficiency in hydrochloric acid and/or digestive enzymes. After testing the nutrient points, hold one or more digestive aids and retest the original weak points. If that strengthens any of the nutrient points, then fine-tune the testing to see which digestive aid is most “Effective” and also
“Well Tolerated.”
Years ago while I was working in a health clinic, the first two things I observed that were needed for most new clients was to add hydrochloric acid and digestive enzymes and to eliminate most of the supplements they were taking. Once they were off the supplements for a few days, their nutrient levels could more accurately be determined.
Something I learned from an M.D. I worked for in the 1970s was that minerals are best taken on an empty stomach one-half an hour before breakfast and dinner and that vitamins were best taken just after each of the three main meals. He also suggested taking hydrochloric acid during the meal rather than before the meal, in order to give the body time to produce its own first. Most clients I worked with no
longer needed hydrochloric acid supplementation after three to six months. At that point, many previously weak nutrient points were now balanced. The improved digestion allowed better assimilation of nutrients from their diet.
A toxic body can also test to need more nutrients. Instead of taking lots of different supplements, test for your key toxin (Intox I). Once you have determined the best remedy for that key toxin, hold the remedy and retest the nutrient points. Another way to test is to hold as many different toxin-neutralizing remedies as you can while retesting the nutrient points. If there is a strengthening, then reduce the quantity of remedies to be tested until the strengthening one is determined.
Also hold lymph and blood and other drainage-type remedies to see if that strengthens many nutrient imbalances.
If a particular nutrient (or remedy) tests to be Effective, but is not Tolerated, it may be toxic. This is especially true with glandular supplements. Also more recently, most supplements are contaminated from electromagnetic and geopathic stress. Placement on a Food+
Energem coaster (described later) for five minutes will eliminate those and many other toxins and will greatly simplify their testing, as well as their effectiveness and tolerance.
During my AK training with The International College of Applied Kinesiology, I learned that low-dose nutrients generally strengthened a weak organ and high doses of nutrients generally weakened an organ.
The high doses would be beneficial when a muscle and its corresponding organ tested overly strong. During the class, vitamin E was used as an example. Most think high doses of vitamin E are beneficial for the heart. This was not the case. Low doses — as low as 2 IUs (International Units), compared to standard doses of 400-800 IUs, strengthened the heart-related muscle. The same thing happens with vitamin C. During the class, saliva vitamin C levels were tested. It was found that individuals who took very high levels generally were found to have low tissue levels of vitamin C. They did suggest that reducing vitamin
C levels should be done gradually. As in many things, sometimes less is better.
When I first started taking supplements back in the 1960s I took lots of them, including multivitamins and minerals. After working with an AK chiropractor that changed dramatically. Many multis include large amounts of nutrients that may not be needed. Contrary to popular opinion, it is a stress to the body to consume and have to eliminate substances that are not necessary or may even be harmful. I prefer to test for my needed nutrients and take them individually. The more cleansing I do, generally the less supplements I need. One exception to this has been an almost continual need for calcium. I believe that calcium neutralizes toxins. Many toxins are stored in the bones and bone marrow. As they are released, I believe that calcium (and probably other minerals) is necessary to help replace the void left by toxins in order to rebuild those areas. Most clients I tested needed calcium for long periods of time.
Once you have determined your “Effective” and “Well Tolerated”
supplements, combine them all together (by daily dosage, not all the bottles) and retest the combination for “Well Tolerated.”
Many people like to take very large doses of nutrients. I believe that is very beneficial short term for specific needs. When my husband, Don, had cancer he received large doses of vitamin C intravenously.
These treatments helped him dramatically, but never addressed the real problem. I consider large doses to be medicinal — more like drugs, with potential side affects. If large doses are needed, there are other problems that may need to be treated in other ways and by professionals.
Products I Like
One low-dose multi-type supplement that I do find “Effective” and
“Tolerated” for most people is Klamath Blue Green Algae.
Another product I like is the Wobenzms enzymes. Long before my husband was ever sick he visited a cancer clinic in Tijuana. He had several friends who had been diagnosed with cancer and he felt helpless.
With his family history of cancer, he also wanted to know where to go and what to do if he or anyone else in his family developed cancer.
One product he discovered that was used in this clinic as well as many worldwide chronic health clinics consisted of these enzymes manufactured by Mucos Pharma in Germany. All of the clinics used the same brand. He brought some home and we took them for awhile.
For cleansing they are best taken on an empty stomach two to three hours between meals. I remember taking a lot of them one day. I was going to do a cleansing program and started by taking about a dozen the first day. The next day I was sick in bed. They are that powerful.
When Don went back to that same clinic in Tijuana as a patient about 25 years later, the first day they put him on these enzymes. We had thought about taking a series of them for a month or so each year as a preventive measure, but we rarely did. These were not as available in the US then as they are now. That was a regret that Don voiced after having been diagnosed with cancer. It wouldn’t have eliminated the source of his cancer, but it certainly might have delayed its onset for a very long time.
One more recent supplement that I have been testing and taking is SomaLife’s gHP. This is an organic, vegetable-based proprietary combination of pure amino acids that stimulate the pituitary to manufacture and release its own Human Growth Hormone (HGH).
The HGH repairs and regenerates the cells and is currently considered the ultimate anti-aging formula. The two originators of this gHP, Donald McLeod, M.D. and Philip White, M.D., have coauthored two books: Doctor’s Secrets: The Road to Longevity14 and The Miracle of Antioxidants.15
