“Autonomic Response Testing is a comprehensive diagnostic system that has helped to transform many practices in the US and abroad into healing centers - and helped many practitioners to become holistic physicians.”
~ from Mercola Articles The Best Muscle Testing System I Know Of
In My Healing Story, I give a little intro to muscle testing in order to to find imbalances and problems in the body. Both Dr. Sharon Rasa and Dr. Michael Gurevich use muscle testing in their practices, specifically Autonomic Response Testing.
Autonomic Response Testing is a highly sensitive, refined and reliable muscle testing biofeedback system that was developed by Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt,* a brilliant and gifted medical pioneer who teaches Autonomic Response Testing on both the East and West coast. Both Dr. Rasa and Dr. Gurevich studied Autonomic Response Testing with Dr. Klinghardt.
When I was seeing Doc Brown, the investigative doctor who diagnosed me with chronic Lyme back in 1998, the main form of testing was blood tests. And these were the tests that the insurance company paid for. But the tests were not accurate. Especially, when you have many chronic symptoms that are confusing and difficult to treat! Sometimes my blood work would be fine, yet I was feeling far from fine.
It wasn’t until I started to see Dr. Rasa, that I realized that blood work wasn’t always reliable. And the reason is that pathogens can be mainly found in soft tissue and not in the blood. So if you are chronically sick and go to a Western trained doctor who relies on blood work to diagnose chronic symptoms, you may be misdiagnosed and therefore, mistreated. This is a common scenario for many patients who eventually turn to alternative practitioners for help.
Through Autonomic Response Testing, Dr. Rasa found mercury in my thyroid and brain. And again, through more testIng, found the cause - 4 amalgam fillings that I’ve had since I was a kid. I had them removed by a biological dentist a few months later.
When I first came to Dr. Gurevich, he tested me (Autonomic Response Testing) and found I was still positive for Lyme, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Epstein Barr virus, Bartonella and Candida Albicans. Through Autonomic Response Testing, Dr. Gurevich tracked my progress while I was on the Allergie-Immun therapy. I had been on the drops for a few months and feeling sick, exhausted and weak every day, so he tested me to see if the drops were good for me. They tested well so I stayed on the therapy.
Mycoplasma pneumoniae - a persistent bacteria that stayed with me for years - was the first bacteria that AIlergie-Immun helped me to eliminate. How did I know this? I was still positive for mycoplasma when I started the therapy. But within a few months, I was negative and it never came back.
Dr. Gurevich also found that I had adrenal fatigue, hypothyroidism, parasites, more food sensitivities (including gluten, dairy, corn, soy and sugar), unresolved emotional conflicts, gastrointestinal dysfunction, electromagnetic radiation sensitivities and a high level of mercury in my brain, thyroid, liver, sinuses, intestinal tract and kidneys.
Through Autonomic Response Testing and BAH (Bioresonance Analysis of Health - another advanced diagnostic system), Dr. Gurevich was able to detect all of the above and come up with a treatment plan. And one by one, each issue was resolved.

I highly recommend everyone with chronic sickness to consider going to an alternative practitioner who is certified in Autonomic Response Testing. More and more doctors and health practitioners are learning alternative testing, like Autonomic Response Testing and BAH, in order to help their patients heal. They are worth their weight in gold and can lead chronically sick patients to the root cause of each of their symptoms.
