The BEST test - take the BEST test for you!

BEST is the new name for Health Kinesiology allergy testing - BEST stands for Bio Energetic Sensitivity Testing.

Allergies vs. Sensitivities

Within Kinesiology, allergy has always been defined as ‘Zero Tolerance’ - this means that the body will show a weak muscle test in response to contact with the item being tested. Simply put, by Kinesiological standards this means that the body isn’t ‘recognising’ the substance, but it doesn’t mean that you have an allergy in the traditional medical sense. There may or may not be rashes or other symptoms which would indicate an immune response, but clients will often report digestive upsets or skin complaints prior to coming in for Kinesiology testing.

We feel that the word Sensitivity better reflects the true nature of what we’re dealing with when we test clients who suspect intolerances or other issues of this nature. What we detect during the BEST test is the body’s BioEnergetic reaction to the substance, so no blood testing is required.

How do we perform the BEST test?

BEST testing is conducted while you lie comfortably on a treatment couch. You’ll be asked to cover particular acupuncture meridian points with one hand whilst muscle tests are performed on you. Substances tested are often ones the client has brought in with them, and which they already think may be a problem for them, but most Kinesiologists also carry a range of food and chemical test kits, which can be used to identify items the client isn’t aware may be part of their issue-picture.

How do we deal with BEST test results?

We ask the body! It’s that simple - what we need to do to balance out the BioEnergetic results we’ve gathered from testing is up to your body. You’re an individual, so doing a sensitivity balance might be what your body asks for, or it may be that we need to balance around some other aspect of you, and you may be asked to think specific words, concentrate of specific feelings, or get in touch with particular sensations.

It’s your body’s choice - we believe your body knows BEST!

BEST test options

The BEST test is often incorporated by clients into their issues, rather than done as a stand alone session. Within an HK issue the body can choose any combination of corrections it wants, including this one. However, if you prefer to you may book a session purely for BEST testing.
