"W" = weak or weakness

In our previous article entitled "Neural Therapy Without Needles" that was printed in "The Communicator" (Vol.2001, Issue 2), we discussed the topical application of a mixture of procaine, dmso and dmps applied to scars, cavitation areas, ganglion areas, reflex and master acupuncture point areas, root canaled teeth, and actually topical application of this mixture to the entire body surface.

Our findings via MRT are as follows:

"Body torque" was eliminated (the body straightens out)

"Cranials" were corrected (spinal fluid flow is optimized)

"Occlusion" was corrected (formerly was unbalanced)

"Heart monitor" was optimized (a measure of the amount of energy the heart was burning up in order to run the body)

The joints of the body i.e. the atlas, pelvis, hands etc. all corrected from "W" to "S".

Root canals, cavitations and ganglia that first tested "W", now test "S".

Most importantly, the pathological electrical effects of the heavy metals (especially Mercury) were eliminated. This allowed the previously mentioned effects to take place. The heavy metals themselves, however, are still present in the cells and must be removed. If this is not done, then the abnormal electrical effects eventually return.

How is this detox process accomplished?

Since 1975, we have followed several protocols for this Heavy Metal detoxification. The use of vitamin supplements that are made of real food greatly helps the process more than any thing else. It’s the difference between natural and synthetic.

This difference can be shown using Muscle Response Testing.

[By way of definition- the electro-magnetic force of the body is the means by which the cells of the body communicate with each other. This electro-magnetic energy radiates from the body and is called "The Aura" or "CHI", or the body’s "Life force". The presence of the Aura and its dynamic changes can be verified with Kirlian photography. This electro-magnetic LifeForce is what makes that person a live, living being. Without Life Force that person is dead! MRT is a discipline that we may use to measure the presence and/or quality and/or extent of that life force].

Our patient holds a small amount of food, or whatever substance we are testing, to the area of the Thymus gland (located just under the breastbone). This gland is thought to mediate "stress" to the body. If the substance tests "S", that substance is considered OK to use or ingest for that particular person ---that substance enhances that persons’ electro-magnetic LIFE FORCE and thus is considered good and desirable. If the substance tests "W" it means that the substance is reducing the person’s electro-magnetic LIFE FORCE, and is not good or desirable, and decreases the body’s ability to function optimally. To state this fact in a very blunt way, the result of this decrease in the electro-magnetic life force is making the person die slowly!

For example, if we test sugar (pure, crystalline, white sugar) all individuals test "W". This is a universal phenomenon. Should the individual test "S" to sugar, it means that the person’s "body morality" is reversed and thus shows what is actually bad for the body as something good. If this should happen, the operator should perform the "Thymus Tap: on the patient ten times, and this will restore proper "body morality" to the patient.) If we test raw honey, everyone test "S". Every textbook I have read for the last 50+ years state that sugar and honey react the same in the body. Obviously, by our testing, they do not react the same.

What is the explanation?

Raw honey has enzymes, vitamins and minerals—it is a natural food made by the bees—made for nourishment. White sugar is derived from sugar beets or sugar cane (which are natural foods) but all the enzymes, vitamins and minerals are processed out until we have pure, crystalline, white sugar—and that substance is a drug! It is not a food!

The sugar disturbs or diminishes (weakness) the electro-magnetic LIFE FORCE of the person and is therefore detrimental for that person’s health. In order for the body to metabolize the sugar, enzymes, vitamins and minerals must be "robbed" from other sources, thus putting the body into nutritional deficit. If we test artificial sweeteners we find the same result as sugar. (These artificial sweeteners can be a prime cause of severe headache). If we test table salt, we find that substance to test "S", and thus is ok to use. This is different than we have been lead to believe when considering a healthy dietary regimen. We recommend salting food to taste.

You can see the patterns developing. A lot of what we were taught about nutrition is true, but not all. There are some real surprises in the above list. This MRT method of diet determination agrees with the latest statistics about the Mediterranean Diet being the best for the health of Caucasian people. Through the use of muscle response testing, one can quickly and accurately verify the beneficial effects of any substance.

All the items that test "W" raise the heart monitor (refer to our first article entitled "Neural Therapy without Needles"), and take away our "Life force" and thus are undesirable from a health standpoint. In essence, these items are making us die slowly.

Muscle Response Testing of Supplements

Let us proceed further to MRT vitamins, beginning with 1,000mg. Ascorbic Acid Vitamin C tablets. We find for most people that one tab "strengthens" them a little; two tabs "strengthen" them more; three tabs will bring optimal "strength" for most women, while four tabs will bring optimal "strength" for most men. As we increase dosage past these optimal amounts, the individuals get "Weaker", (Linus Pauling recommended a dosage of 10,000 mg. Daily). More is not always better!

However, giving these same individuals Vitamin C made from food, we find that most often one tab of 6 mg. will provide the same "strength" as the 3-4000 mg. of the synthetic Ascorbic Acid Vitamin C. Not only that, as we add tablets of food Vitamin C one by one, we find that giving the individuals the whole bottle does not "Weaken" them in anyway. THUS, THE VITAMIN C MADE FROM FOOD IS FAR MORE POTENT THAN THE SYNTHETIC VERSION, AND IT DOES NOT CAUSE WEAKNESS IN ANY AMOUNT.

This phenomenon is based on the fact that the biochemical make-up of food stimulates the biological receptor sites in the body to nourish the body. The synthetic (pharmaceutical, Nutraceutical) version of any vitamin is a fractionated, Isomeric compound whose biochemical configuration is a mirror image of the true vitamin and does not couple with the receptor site properly and thus does not nourish the body, but acts similar to a drug by over-powering the body. The synthetic version may exert a therapeutic effect, but does not nourish. The synthetic versions have low potency and thus require high dosage, while the natural food source product has high potency with low dosage. Natural food is a complex of many synergistic nutrients. Therefore, the vitamin C made from food is vastly superior to the synthetic, nutraceutical version.

Investigating the functionality of Supplements

Co Enzyme Q10 is advertised as a nutrient for the heart. In our office, we acquired four bottles of Co Enzyme Q10 from different companies, each bottle with 30-mg. Capsules. One-bottle tests "S" (it is bio-compatible i.e. it does not disturb the electromagnetic LIFE FORCE); the other bottles test "W" (are not biocompatible i.e. reduces LIFE FORCE). These bottles we put aside.

With the bottle that tested "S", we then ask, "How many capsules does your body want?" Depending on the person, the answer, derived by MRT, will be somewhere between 10 and 30 capsules – not real efficacious!

If we test a whole food supplement by Standard Process, Inc. ® containing 24 mg. of naturally occurring coenzyme Q10 per tablet and ask about biocompatibility, we find that it is biocompatible. Then testing for dosage, we find the answer to be 2 or 3 tabs. This is much more reasonable and efficacious.

Furthermore, when testing the heart reflex, the Bio-compatible Co Enzyme Q10 will not strengthen a "W" reflex at all, whereas the food supplement will strengthen it.

As it turns out, approximately 90% of the vitamin products found in health food stores, drugstores, multi-level marketing companies, or vitamin supply companies test as being non-biocompatible (i.e. takes away LIFE FORCE), and the remaining 10% are generally not efficacious and generally do not strengthen the body. THIS IS VERY ALARMING!!

DMSA and DMPS, tested in the same way, are found to be non-biocompatible, while both PROCAINE and DMSO (pharmaceutical grade) test as being biocompatible. Our mixture of PROCAINE (4 parts), DMSO (1 part), and DMPS (1 part) does test as being biocompatible. This mixture can be applied topically, used IV, and/or used in bath water, and has many beneficial effects.

The simplest technique, of course, is to use it topically, and also in the bath; and we may ask the persons’ body by MRT. "How much?" "How many times? and "How long between applications for optimal effect?" IT’S TOO SIMPLE!

By MRT testing in the same way, it seems that many Homeopathic remedies are non- biocompatible!

AS STARTLING AS IT MAY SEEM, IT REALLY APPEARS THAT WHOLE FOOD SUPPLEMENTS ARE VASTLY SUPERIOR TO NOURISH THE BODY AND TO DETOX THE CELLS OF THE BODY OF THE HEAVY METALS THAT ARE PRESENT.

We can "monitor" this detoxification process by the use of a MRT reflex above the head (back of the hand about one inch above the crown of the head and/or back of the hand over the umbilicus) to:

Determine the initial (beginning) amount of Heavy Metals Contamination in the cells (including the ganglia). (Count by ten thousands---the range has been up to 5 million).

Standard Process Nutritional Suppliments and LinkDetermine any changes that take place with whatever detox regimen is determined for that particular person.

Determine when detoxification is complete.

Determine if re-contamination takes place, etc.

We use mostly Standard Process ® whole food supplements. The following is a list of the whole food supplements that we use. Some people are found to need all of these; with some people only a few are indicated. The Zinc Liver Chelate supplement is considered one of the most important since we are all so deficient in zinc. Zinc is needed as a catalyst in our bodys’ enzymatic reactions, but is almost gone from our soils and rarely concentrated in our foods.

The 1-10 scale is an effort to find out how important each supplement is to the total program. The scale is determined by MRT. This will help you and the patient to know where to compromise if cost of the supplements is a major factor, or if "number of pills" is a problem. However, I must caution and emphasize that problems often time occur when one compromises. The best results are obtained when the full supplement regimen is utilized. The average total detox time that most people require with this regimen is 3 to 6 months. However this also may vary depending on the burden of heavy metals and other health issues.

Oddly enough, on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the most important or effective, once in awhile something will test to a "12". I would interpret this as something that is really, really important.

Instructions for taking supplements

these supplements are food (not synthetic chemicals) and are meant to be taken with your regular meals.

It is best to divide up your supplements so you are taking equal amounts with each meal.

If you are taking numerous supplements you can take them throughout your meal. (Some before, some during, and some after.)

When starting a new regimen of supplements it is best to start out slowly by taking one of each general support supplement for three or four days, then increase to two of each supplement for three more days; continue to increase the dosage in this manner until you reach the recommended amount.

If everything agrees with you, then begin taking the detox supplements slowly in the same manner until you are taking the recommended amounts of both your general support supplements and detox supplements.

We advise beginning the supplements in this way to ease your body into liberating toxins slowly so that you will not feel poorly during this correcting and cleansing process.

After we have determined what the detox protocol is for that person, we then ask:

How long should this regimen be continued in order to completely detox the body?

How long should this individual be on this regimen before we begin Dental Revision?

How many days between quadrants?

The answers to these questions are all variable also. If we adhere to these answers we have very few problems, if any, during the Dental treatment phase. A common example would be a person who responds, via MRT, that he/she must be on the complete detox program for a total period of 5 months; that he/she must be on the detox program for 4 weeks before Dental Revision begins; and that there should be 3 days between quadrant amalgam removal.

The vegetarian protocol (regimen) needs to be determined individually also, but will usually take much longer to detox the body, e.g. twice as long.

Since we know the original "monitor" number of the Heavy Metals we can check progress of the detoxification process whenever the patient comes in for the Dental Revision, and especially when the patient has come to the time for the detox protocol to be ended. If the reflex does not say "zero" or "S", we ask the question "how much longer for this person to be on this detox regimen?" and the patient continues with it and then is checked again.

Usually, when we then check the patient, everything tests "S". When asked, "How are you feeling? They usually say, "Gosh, I really have been feeling good." – and they look good too!

Often times, with the advent of Dental Revision, patients observe creepy crawly things in their bowel movements – PARASITES are being "expelled". Also, in stubborn cases of Candida infection that have resisted eradication by other means, the Candida infection disappears with no other intervention.

Muscle Response Testing (Kinesiology) can be used in many ways.

to determine biocompatibility of substances

to determine quality of substances

to determine indication or need for substances

to determine efficacy of substances

to determine dosage of substances

as an aid to diagnosis --- for example:

a. A normal tooth will MRT to a pulse of 17, while a non-vital tooth will pulse to 20.

b. MRT to distinguish whether pain is caused by a tooth, a sinus, a displaced joint (e.g. TMJ, or Atlas).

c. The presence of a virus, yeast, or parasite can be determined also, as well as a "monitor number" to determine the severity of the involvement. The specific treatment can then be determined as well.

d. When studying a Panorex for cavitations, root canals, scars and other problems, one can MRT the mouth itself; or one can MRT the Panorex; and there will be definite and reliable agreement. After application of P/D/D to the patient, where there was "W" present there is now "S" both in the mouth and on the Panorex.

Use a scale of 1-10 and compare the efficacy or need of various treatments or supplements.

Use your imagination, be innovative and be direct in your approach to MRT.

We have a "priorities" list that can be MRT in this way. Ask, "What is the #1 treatment priority that needs to be addressed to allow this person to be 100% well?" (use their name in place of the word "person"). Of the people tested in our practice, 99% test that HEAVY METAL CONTAMINATION IS THE #1 PROBLEM, and the #2 problem is Dominant Focus. The Dominant Focus problem is treated by our PROCAINE/DMSO/DMPS solution applied topically, while the Heavy Metal problem is treated by Dental Revision and Detoxification of the cells of the body.

PRIORITY LIST

1. HEAVY METALS

2. DOMINANT FOCUS

a. Toxic Ganglia
b. Scars
c. Cavitation

3. SOLVENTS-PESTICIDES-INSECTICIDES-DRUG RESIDUES

1. Legal
2. Illegal

4. ALLERGIES

5. INFECTIONS-Bacteria, Yeast, Virus, Parasite

6. STRUCTURAL

d. Cranial
e. Back
f. Pelvis
g. Feet
h. TMJ
i. Other

7. Biochemical imbalance – Nutritional, Hormonal

8. Geo-pathic Distress

9. Emotional Distress

10. Spiritual Distress

When we ask, "At what percent of 100% are your body’s cells functioning?" – the answer most often determined is @ 50%; i.e. the cells of the body are functioning at only 50% of what they could and should be functioning at (because of the presence of those heavy metals).

OBVIOUSLY THEN, THIS HEAVY METAL CONTAMINATION IS HAMPERING THE FUNCTIONING OF THAT BODY TREMENDOUSLY, RESULTING IN ANY NUMBER OF DIFFERING SYMPTOMS THAT MANIFEST IN DIFFERING WAYS IN DIFFERENT PERSONS.

Thus the confusion in health care by the labeling of many syndromes as "Auto-immune" with various names – names that describe symptoms but have no true treatment, because the cause is not known! holistic dentists know the cause --- and know how to stop the epidemic!!!

With proper detoxification, the prevalence of so-called "auto immune disease" will be greatly reduced.

Neural Therapy without needles is one method of dealing with Heavy Metal Toxicity. Change is constant – knowledge keeps expanding. Please pass on your knowledge to us and to others—it will be most welcome. Our fervent prayer is that this knowledge may reach all health care practitioners and fulfill its immense potential for beneficial change in the health of our nation and of the world.
