Bioenergetic Testing

There are various types of bioenergetic testing methods to test dental materials “energetic” compatibility. These include kinesiology or automatic response muscle testing, Applied Kinesiology multiple muscle testing, Bi-digital O-ring test, electroacupuncture biofeedback (EDT, EDS, EAV, and VRT) tests, Auriculomedicine, Articulotherapy or Articular Acupuncture (VAS), and various forms of arm and leg length testing (AR and MRT).

Electro Dermal Testing (EDT)
Electro Dermal Screening (EDS)
Vegetative Reflex Test (Vega Test) (VRT)
Electroacupuncture according to Voll (EAV)

EDT, EDS, EAV or VRT is a quick, non-invasive method of screening for biocompatibility by measuring electrical galvanic response and resistance on the skin’s surface. Bioelectric energy flows along particular pathways within the body, much like a circuit board, and links internal organs with more than 100 acupuncture points throughout the body. When a blockage occurs along these pathways (meridians), bioelectric energy accumulates, eventually resulting in illness.

the purpose of this method is to measure and detect the body’s ability to conduct energy and is designed to indicate disruption or energy imbalances in the flow of this energy along these pathways (invisible lines of the body) described by acupuncturists as meridians.

It is an energetic test that involves the patient holding a brass rod with one hand while meridian points are located on the other hand with a stylus. A computer is used along with a Biofeedback machine to process the information gathered from testing little vials of each dental material that may be used. The procedure is painless and results are immediate.

Studies have shown that this technique can achieve 85-90% sensitivity in what it’s intended to evaluate. As a result of this method’s accuracy, ease of use, and unique information obtained, Biofeedback devices such as these are very popular in Europe and in the offices of Naturopathic and complementary health practitioner’s in North America.

Presently there are 10,000 Biofeedback devices being used throughout Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Great Britain, and North America.

Autonomic Response Muscle Testing (ART)
Kinesiology Response Muscle Testing (KRT)

Our body is filled with electrical activity. Electrical activity is the way that information gets delivered to our brain, it is what keeps our heart beating, and it is the way our brain communicates with our muscles.

Small changes in our experience affect the patterns of our brainwaves (EEG) and the patterns of our heartbeat (EKG). It is no wonder that these kinds of changes also affect muscle function.

Muscles contain thousands of cells, and each of these must receive a signal from an individual nerve. Taken together the impulses from thousands of nerve fibers must reach thousands of muscle cells in just the right time sequence in order for a muscle to be strong.

Anything that even temporarily throws off our body’s electrical activity can keep a muscle from holding its strength.

Kinesiology or autonomic response muscle testing is a painless, non-invasive way to gauge what creates or alleviates stress in the body. This technique was developed by the chiropractic profession and provides an indication of central nervous system tolerance or intolerance to dental materials.

With this test, the patient holds little vials of each dental material that may be used while the practitioner checks to see if it weakens the body. This is done by simply applying slight pressure to a contracted muscle, frequently the shoulder muscle is used to magnify how the body responds to various kinds of challenges. If a muscle is strong before the material is in hand and strong as it is in hand, then that dental material is OK. However, if the patient becomes weak when the material is in their energy field, then it should not be used. This test can be subject to operator error. There are, however, many very good kinesiologists who successfully do this test.

Applied Kinesiology Multiple Muscle Testing

Applied Kinesiology is used to choose biologically compatible dental restorative materials by evaluating the energetic state of the body along the acupuncture meridians and in the auric field of the body overlying the chakras to identify major energy imbalances caused by body sensitivities and reactions to various dental restorative materials. This is done through a 45 muscle assessment that tests muscle strengths and weaknesses as an indicator of an organism’s orderly or disturbed state of health. Muscle strength is influenced by the energy fields of objects in close association with the body.

A Kinesiology testing kit of all of the sample materials which might be used during dental treatment is used to generate muscle responses. A positive response indicates a material which would be acceptable for the patient, while a negative response indicates a material that would not be chosen for the patient.

People react to the presence of conventional composite filling materials with a shift energetically showing stimulation of the triple warmer meridian (associated with the regulation of energy flow;equivalent to the endocrine system of western medicine) with an expansion of the energy radiating from the pelvic area and a contraction of the energy field over the heart.

Auriculotherapy
Auriculomedicine
Auricular Acupncture (VAS)

Auricular Medicine detects energetic suggestions of the cause of chronic symptoms through observing changes in the distance of electric fields projected off of the ears.

With it, it’s possible to find energetic clues that an organ is stressed, injured, or diseased through resonance matching. This is accomplished using a wide variety of samples containing the electromagnetic frequencies of various dental materials.

Since all dental materials have a specific frequency, it’s possible to briefly stress the body with a test sample to see if a resonance or a vibrational match exists. In other words, if a stressed organ or a substance exists in your body ALREADY, and we temporarily add the frequency of more of the same—your bio-electric field will project farther out from your body because a substance that is in TUNE with the body, resonates with it. Throughout the exam, dozens of samples are added and subtracted from the plates, and observations are made of how they affect the electric field distance. In perfect health, this distance is 1cm (less than ½ inch) away from the ear.

Bi-digital O-ring test (BDORT)

Dental materials such as metals are involved with diseases caused by electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic waves from dental materials may cause symptoms of diseases and specific dental materials act like antennae, receiving electromagnetic waves, which cause unpleasant symptoms. Therefore diseases can be treated by replacing the metals, and the BDORT is very useful for finding which materials should be removed and which new material should be used in their place.

The BDORT is a useful test for finding the dental materials that receive electromagnetic waves and cause diseases, and for finding which materials can be safely used as replacements.

Matrix Response Testing (MRT)

MRT is an energetic testing method that evaluates changes in patients’ connective tissue, also known as the “ground substance” or “matrix” tissue. MRT assists doctors and practitioners in determining the underlying cause of a patient’s pain, dysfunction or disease, and the most specific and optimal form of treatment

This energetic testing technique evolved from a combination of the reflex arm length test (AR), an assessment of the body’s electromagnetic field and the use of hand modes and six-channel entry patterns (Mode Cards, the distinction between right versus left arm shortening, Gel, and Sol Matrix Testing, etc.)

The Reflex Arm length test Measurement Component of MRT is conducted by comparing a patient’s arm lengths with the elbows relaxed and slightly flexed. Analogous to the kinesiological phenomena of a muscle changing from strong to weak when challenged with a toxic stressor, a shift from even arms to a short arm in the MRT technique also indicates a positive test. For example, a mercury vial placed within the energy field of a patient affected with severe mercury toxicity would elicit a short arm reflex response.

In contrast to the autonomic nervous system-mediated kinesiology testing, the MRT method primarily assesses the functioning of the body’s connective tissue.

MRT is generally a more sensitive method of testing than kinesiology and thus serves as a useful ancillary test for many kinesiologists. Modern electron microscopy studies have found that the nerves do not actually touch the cells, but that their neurotransmitters are carried from the blind nerve endings through the matrix tissue to their target cells. Through its matrix-mediated assessment, the MRT method, therefore, more directly measures the body’s extracellular as well as intracellular environments, in contrast to the ANS (autonomic nervous system)-mediated muscle testing. Further, since the matrix tissue is also in direct contact with the hormones through the capillary beds, the subtle disturbances in hormonal functioning can also best be measured through this more sensitive test.
