Post 7- Muscle Testing

On Monday, Cindy, the owner of the Creative Healing Center, and Dr. Mike, a holistic doctor who works at the center, showed Ezgi and I muscle strength reflect tests. I forget the exact name of the thing they were showing us but it was something like that. Basically the test was to see what our bodies needed and what they would reject based off of muscle responses. I held my arm out and Dr. Mike pushed on it to see how strong my arm was and how that strength varied when I held certain objects. When I held the green juice I was less strong, indicating that my body did not need or want the green juice. When I held the hot chocolate I was drinking I was stronger, indicating my body wanted the chocolate. They also told me that I could use this technique in the grocery store. I could stand up strait eyes closed and hold the product I was considering buying and ask myself if I needed the product. If I leaned forward that would mean my body was telling me it was okay to get the product but if I leaned backward that would indicate that my body was not okay with me getting the product and I did not need it. I am not sure I really buy this self testing mechanism however the other test are somewhat reasonable, since I could feel a difference in my bodies ability to raise my arm.
