The Theory Behind Autonomic Response Testing

Without going into reams of complex explanation of how ART is applied and the exact areas of investigation I will attempt to give you a basic overview. If you wish to pursue your knowledge further then there are many more detailed sources available on the internet and elsewhere.

If a person is in the very best of health, both physically and mentally, then their ANS will be working “normally” within that individual. If there exists some form of “stress” on a person’s organism then their ANS will be producing an appropriate response to that which threatens their state of ‘homeostasis’, or balance. Therefore the focus of ART testing is to determine ANS imbalances in very specific ways.

ART tests are designed to create responses from the ANS to determine its correct function or otherwise. ART uses Applied Kinesiology, Electro acupuncture (EAV), O-Ring testing, Nogier pulse, Chinese pulse, heart rate variability and other techniques to assess the health or dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system. All these procedures are totally non-evasive to the patient. If a person’s ANS is being compromised then the results of ART testing will show such changes that are in effect from whatever might be causing an imbalance. There are numerous possible reasons for a persons ANS becoming out of balance. A persons system may be reacting to toxicity from heavy metals, dental disorders, post operative scars, electromagnetic disturbances, chemicals, foodstuffs, garments, jewelry or even from a particular unconscious mental state emanating from a past forgotten event in their lives. There is an extensive list of things that can and do effect the ANS. Pathogens of viral or bacterial origin are the obvious ones we think of but ART will test for others we might never imagine.

The basic premise behind ART is to identify accurately that which is causing a stress on a persons system. This is its first mode of application. Thereafter it is also possible to use ART to monitor the effects and changes to the ANS from any prescribed treatment to the findings of the ART diagnosis. This provides and accurate and reliable double edge sword of both diagnostic and treatment therapy.

What Happens if I am Treated?

Obviously anyone can find a therapist and request a test using ART. I suggest that this may prove useful to not only ailing individuals but also to those wishing to maintain a state of good health too. Much depends on the results of testing and only after a full and complete test will you have the details of your own personal state of health as far as your ANS is concerned. Treatment may involve de-toxification, dietary changes, conventional medical treatment, psychological interventions, a course of herbal medication, supplementation of minerals or vitamins etc.etc. It all depends upon the results of the ART test with each individual client.

ART is Good for What?

As I have said, our ANS is constantly regulating our inner well-being and therefore any disruption of our system will show a response in the functioning of our ANS. Therefore I suggest that ART is an excellent ‘tool’ to delve into any feelings of an imbalance within an individuals functioning. So no matter what you might believe ails you, or simply just to maintain your state of well-being, ART is a very useful ‘tool’ to employ.
