ACUPOINT INTEGRATIVE TECHNIQUE (A.I.T.)
is the perfect adjunct to any kinesiological/muscle testing technique
AIT is a non-invasive health assessment system that uses the arm as an
indicator. It provides an extraordinary, accurate assessment of the bodies energetic health and stressors, based on the energetic function of the acupuncture Meridian systems. According to the European medical research, acupuncture points are directly related to the body's organs and are connected through energy channels called meridians. Bioelectrical energy flows through each Meridian to associated systems balancing their activity. The location of the A.I.T. test points generally correspond to those of acupuncture points and are evaluated to determine excess or reduced energy levels and potential toxic influences. The primary objective of A.I.T. Is to help restore each system to homeostasis.
Accurately identify potential toxic stressors including:
Endocrine, hormonal, inflammatory, chemical
Immune (bacteria, viral and parasitic patterns)
Heavy metals, dental and vaccine stressors
A.I.T. is based on EAV (electro-acupuncure according to Voll), energetic/muscle testing, blood chemistry interpretation, functional endocrinology informed by a knowledge of infectious and enviromental disease. A.I.T. Can be helpful in assisting difficult cases. A.I.T. is part of the emerging field of Functional Medicine as it relates to the application of diet, clinical nutrition, whole food supplementation, herbal preparations, homeopathics and drainage remedies - among others, as applicable. This field is evermore solidly becoming grounded in evidence based principles of medicine.

AcuPoint Integrative Technique (A.I.T.)
(kinesiological muscle testing)
Dan Newell, AP, MS, CN
AcuPoint Integrative Technique (A,L T.) is the most comprehensive system of evaluating an individual's nutritional needs, based on muscle testing. A.I.T. is based on over 20 yrs. of research, consulting & clinical experience, as well as teaching this method to physicians of all disciplines across the U.S. A.I.T. combines well-established methods of kinesiological (muscle) testing with EAV (Electro-Acupuncture According to Voll), in a highly sophisticated system of energetic systemic nutritional analysis. The practitioner begins by identifying the systems of the body that are under stress. Next. AIT uses homeopathic nosodes, nutrition & herbal supplement test vials to help identify the underlying energetic stressors that are causing imbalances/stress in various parts of the body. A.I.T. helps to identify and verify the most specific & effective combination & dosage of nutritional supplements that will support the areas of the body that are stressed. & to support balancing the underlying energetic stressors. It helps to eliminate subjectivity & a "cookbook" approach to nutritional recommendations.
A.I.T. is used by practitioners to test the body's innate, energetic response to nutritional supplementation, monitor the changes that occur, & identify appropriate adjustments to the individualized protocol, as the patient becomes more balanced. The result is a specific, directed & highly effective program of clinically-designed nutritional supplementation for your patient's individual health needs. A.I.T. offers the best nutritional program available to achieve your optimal health goals.
Muscle Testing
Muscle testing is a noninvasive way of evaluating the body for imbalances and assessing its needs. Our muscles can become stronger or weaker in response to many internal and external influences. The general strength or weakness provides information on energy flow within the body which is based on traditional Chinese medicine. Modern medicine has shown that electrical energy flows through nerves to every cell in the body. An example of energy flow has been demonstrated by the electrocardiograph machine which provides a graphic recording from the body's surface of the electric currents generated by the heart.
Muscle testing is performed by applying slight pressure to an outstretched arm and assessing the strength of the muscle response. Almost any muscle can be used for testing but the arm is the most convenient. The person being tested stands with one arm held out to the side at shoulder level with elbow straightened. The practitioner then applies slight pressure downward at the wrist while the person resists. While the practitioner touches various AcuPoints on the body's surface. the arm should remain strong if there are no imbalances.
If weakness is found, various substances can be tested at that particular point to see if it can be strengthened. All substances (food, nutritional supplements. herbs, homeopathic remedies, chemicals, vaccines, etc.) have an electromagnetic charge & are capable of affecting the human body in a negative or positive way by interaction with the
body's own electromagnetic charge. This is much like the effect of two magnets being brought together. If the North end & the South end of each come close together they attract but if two North ends are brought together. They repel. In the case of muscle testing, if the body is deficient in a nutrient and is needed by a particular organ that is being tested, placing that substance on that AcuPoint will strengthen the arm.
AcuPoint Integrative Technique
A.I.T. helps to identify multiple energetic stressors, their interactions & the body systems being affected. This is the key that makes AcuPoint Integrative Testing a unique form of muscle testing. Often, multiple energetic stressors are the cause of stress & imbalance in the body & include:
• Organs - stomach, liver, gallbladder, spleen, Ig & sm intestines, kidneys, heart. lungs
• Systems -- lymphatic, digestive, respiratory, urinary, respiratory, nervous & musculoskeletal
• Endocrine Glands-- hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid. adrenals, pancreas, male & female gonads
According to the theory of Chinese acupuncture, if these blockages or imbalances of the body's energy flow are not resolved, physical illness will result. As you can see, muscle testing is simply another powerful tool that the practitioner can use to help improve the patient's health & well-being.
These statements have not been evaluated by the Food & Drug Administration. This technique is designed to evaluate underlying physiological stressors & energetic imbalances as documented by Chinese Acupuncture Meridians & is not intended to diagnose. treat, cure or prevent disease.
