Chiro. did this test to suggest which vitamins my body needs?
Do you know where I can find information on this?
The chiro had me do this neat test. She had me hold the pills in one hand to my chest and hold my other arm out. She told me to not let her push my arm down. The first time she pushed my arm down easily. She added another vitamin and tried again. This time it was a little harder for her. So she added a different vitamin. This time she couldn't push my arm down. (she showed me how this works using a candy bar and then an apple before using the vitamins) I found this to be very interesting.
Where can I find out more information about this technique?
It is called muscle testing. You can see what your body likes and dislikes. What you are allergic to. Remeber you can only use one item at a time within 10 mintues or your body gets used to the same substance. Below are 2 websites to learn more. All the best.

The "muscle test" is totally bogus and has been debunked by the medical community and the FDA. Its just a trick to get you to purchase the pills the guy is selling.
Try this. Have the muscle test done by a competing chiropractor who sells a different brand of vitamins and guess what, you will have proof that the second guy's pills work even better.

What utter nonsense! Chiropractic is the archtype of quackery.
This is an old magicians trick you can Google the details of how it works. (Basically, the "tester" just pushes less hard or more hard and pretends to struggle) I'm also predicting the chiropracter just happens to sell a very expensive brand of boutique vitamins.
Please don't be so gullible. If you are eating a good balanced and healthy diet, you are getting all the vitamins you need. The vitamin industry is largely based on fear and vanity. Water soluble vitamins taken in excess will just be peed out of your body. Excess fat soluble ones get stored…guess where…and accumulation can cause some toxic diseases.
Get away from that quack before he causes you some serious harm…..in the wallet.

Muscle Testing based on the concept of internal energy, which is fundamental to traditional Chinese medicine. Muscle testing is a noninvasive method used to evaluate the body's imbalances and assessing its needs.
Testing the muscles is all about testing the body's responses when slight pressure is applied to the large muscles one at a time. This testing provides information about the body's energy blockages, nutritional deficiencies, and food sensitivities. So, you can imagine it's use in testing the body's responses to herbs and herbal remedies.
When muscle testing, the person being tested is given an herb to hold or a food, if testing for an allergy. They are then asked to hold their arms out to each side away from their body. With the herb in one of their hands, the practitioner then pulls down on the person's other arm with equal pressure for balance. If the person needs the herb or is not allergic to the food, the arm will remain strong against the pressure. If allergic or not in need of the herb, the arm will go weak and the person won't be able to hold their arm in place against the pressure.
Muscle testing can also be used to determine how often each herb should be taken and how much each time.
Although not the same, sometimes muscle testing is referred to as Applied Kinesiology. Kinesiology is more the study of all human movement. Muscle testing is focused on the large muscles, usually but not limited to the arms.
Although muscle testing is simple, responses may be inconclusive if the person's energy is blocked. Muscle testing requires a check of the body's polarity, which reveals whether energy in the central meridian is flowing in the right direction. If not, it must be corrected before proceeding. Polarity checks are used with each product tested, to make sure the product does not interfere with a person's polarity. The selected herbs are also tested as a group, because an herb may test well individually, but combining it with other herbs may produce a synergistic effect that reduces or eliminates the need for it.
As you can imagine, muscle testing is a wonderful way to help diagnose herbal remedies.
