Minga was kind enough to point out that I had not changed the subject line and many may be over reading about PIP surgeons. I am asking for any treatment advice or wisdom to help this young girl. Patient is a 2 year old female with chronic ear infections. She has suffered from hearing loss as a result and is speech delayed. Anti-biotics do nothing for her and the infections keep recurring.

Her insurance does not cover chiro or ND and her mother is at the end of her rope. She has another infant daughter who is displaying similar symptoms. I have seen her twice, otoscopic evaluation initially demonstrated erythema in bilateral TM with no bulging visualized. Due to cerum build-up, a fluid line could not be visualized.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Hi Don, Yes, it is surrogate testing. A few people, typically other health care practitioner and not patients, have a bit of a challenge in understanding muscle response testing generally and surrogate testing specifically. I usually refer them to the book “Entangled Minds†by physicist Dean Radin, PhD to understand the science of quantum entanglement behind this linkage that makes direct or indirect (surrogate) muscle response testing possible. I now work about 50% of the time in my Oregon office and about 50% in my Mexico City office where I do NMT only and virtually all of that work is remote with people from all over the US, Canada, Europe, Asia, Australia, and Latin America. Obviously, they are all not only tested in a surrogate manner, but all the work is done on a remote basis and the results are excellent and identical to what we see for in-office treatment. When you think about it, all surrogate testing is remote testing, and in the world of non-locality there is no difference between a little remote or a lot remote. Either there is an effect mediated by contact with the patient, or there isn’t and if there is no physical contact, then as they say, “a miss is as good as a mileâ€. I just finished treating a young electrical engineer who works for Intel. He had hurt his low back a couple of weeks ago and could barely move and conventional chiropractic care afforded only slight and temporary relief. After his first remote NMT session last week he was immediately 80% resolved. Today at his second session, he was virtually pain free and full ROM after his second remote NMT session. Care for this low back condition was actually a sidetrack from the other distance NMT care he has received in the past 2 months. This fellow has such severe spring time environmental allergies that he requires shots of steroids on top of a variety of prescription allergy medications. After about 7 NMT sessions in the past 2 months he is absolutely free of spring time allergy symptoms and will probably have just a few more sessions to arrive at the point that the NMT system metrics I check for him demonstrate full resolution of his condition. So, this surrogate stuff in skilled hands is the real McCoy. S. Feinberg, D.C. From: MekaAbou@...

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 The four demons of allergy are wheat, soy, dairy and corn. In order to find out the specific allergy on a person you'd have to run an IgA gut test to see what allergies they have. There are various food allergy tests available as well. You can also assume peanuts, all packaged food (which has soy in it or high fructose corn syrup) and high fructose corn syrup until otherwise proven innocent. Right away she needs to get on raw foods: ie raw nuts, raw greens, not much fruit, be careful with eggs. Stay away from canned, boxed, prepared foods. Did her mom have allergies as a child? Is this child eating a 2 year old prepared food diet? or is she eating some special diet. How is the child getting her minerals and her Vitamin D? Is the child digesting food or is her poop especially smelly? Did the mom eat a Standard American Diet as a youngster or when pregnant? If so, this will be a harder case to solve. The child may need some probiotics as well. Some gut testing is in order.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Someone sent me a question off line about surrogate testing and I thought I would offer these thoughts to any of you “think outside the box†types. Surrogate testing simply means that the patient is not muscle tested directly. Instead, either a third party who is with the practitioner is used to monitor the muscle response test result, or that the practitioner him/herself does a self test as a surrogate for the patient. This may seem quite odd to anyone who has not had experience with this sort of thing or who attempts to understand such an evaluation in terms of some direct neuromuscular reflex arising within the patient. It doesn’t make sense in those terms. To understand muscle response testing generally, and surrogate muscle response testing specifically you have to dispense with that notion. It has nothing to do with it. Instead, this has to do with the “other than conscious†mental linkage that occurs with all people who hold the intention to relate to one another for some purpose. I’ll explain. Dean Radin, Ph.D. reports the research documenting this phenomenon in his book “Entangled Minds†and there is a lot of other research supporting this. In the research Radin documents, pairs of research subject unknown previously to one another we brought together, hooked up to EEG monitoring devices. Their EEG tracings were dissimilar. They were then asked to meditate together for 15 minutes after which it was noted that their EEG tracings became synchronous. They were then separated and put in Faraday caged, light and sound proof rooms. One subject was exposed to a strobe light and the EEG of course demonstrated the corresponding activity in the occipital cortex. What is telling is that the other subject isolated as described above demonstrated exactly the same occipital lobe tracing at the same time as the one who received the light stimulation. So, this demonstrates that a non-electromagnetic linkage of mind occurs between people. An important thing here is the subjects were induced to enter a state of quantum entanglement by the intention to meditate together. Similarly, when patient and practitioner come together with the shared intention of a healing interaction, a similar linkage occurs and there is certain information relevant to the therapeutic interaction that becomes shared just as shared documents become available to computers on the same network (even though all documents and information will not be shared). When you look at it from this perspective, surrogate muscle testing is not a neuromuscular reflex in the patient. Instead, the muscle response in the surrogate or self-surrogate is seen as an “external indicator†of information that is already known at a subconscious level to both parties and it brings that information to conscious mind awareness. As with the research reported by Radin, contact or immediate physical proximity of the subject is not necessary in surrogate testing. Presence in this context is not about physical proximity. This same phenomenon happens all the time in conventional chiropractic but is generally not understood and misinterpreted as some sort of neuromuscular reflex. Activator technique testing is a great example. The leg length responses are the reaction of the patient to the other than conscious query based upon the metaphorical model taught in Activator technique of what is meant by the various physical strokes, brushings, and other cues given to the body. That meaning and the response that would correlate with the patient’s body’s perception of it physical condition is understood subconsciously by the patient’s mind-body and the leg length change reveals the body’s answer in the context of the Activator model held in mind by the practitioner. The same is true of the arm-fossa tests in SOT. They have nothing to do with hard wired neurology. S. Feinberg, D.C. From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of S.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Can you assume that the patient and surrogate are ‘linked’ or do you have to meditate together or some other process and then test for the linkage ie EEG testing of each person? I was visiting with Dr. Freeman a few weeks ago and I asked him ‘ What if I don’t like the person?’ What I meant by that is can emotion or some other process interfere with your ability to read or interpret what ever you are asking or looking for? Or do you just turn in to a robot testing machine and not allow human nuance into it? s. fuchs dc From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of S. Feinberg Sent: Friday, April 16, 2010 12:59 PM ' S.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 I loved the explanation of surrogate testing you gave and will save this for others to read that come to my office when I need to explain it. It is hard to explain and I have had to use it when there is no other means. I do find there are issues though with this type of testing. I find that if I have a predetermined idea of what the out come is this affects the outcome. Second, we are introducing another person into this equation, which picks up his or her thoughts and body issue. We might assume it is the one we are testing and it turns out it is the person we are using. Third, if either the person we need to test or the one we are using are dehydrated it will through the test. There are many issues that can interfere. I find it is better to test the surrogate person alone and find their issues before going any further. Hydrate both the surrogate and the patient for a good connection. Then tell the the surrogate to keep his thoughts more blank and not be thinking confusion for the patient's condition. Thoughts can change the test. There are both physical and metal issues that can change this test, along with the doctors thoughts. Good luck. I believe it take many years of experience to understand how muscle testing works and the problems with it. However, it does work. I do know that many people do not believe, unless they get it done to them by an experienced muscle tester. I find many doctors shoove the arm or muscle being tested to hard because they expect the outcome to be a certain way. They over power the person being tested. It also is a problem, especially Surrogate testing in a court of law or trying to describe this for any legal purposes. Better to use standard testing and evaluation for any legal purposes and these other tests only for the doctors evaluations. I never put in my notes direct statements that my muscle testing is how I came to the diagnosis. 25 years of writing notes with muscle testing experience I do not throw my pearls amoung those that do not understand.

Instead, either a third party who is with the practitioner is used to monitor the muscle response test result, or that the practitioner him/herself does a self test as a surrogate for the patient. This may seem quite odd to anyone who has not had experience with this sort of thing or who attempts to understand such an evaluation in terms of some direct neuromuscular reflex arising within the patient. It doesn’t make sense in those terms. To understand muscle response testing generally, and surrogate muscle response testing specifically you have to dispense with that notion. It has nothing to do with it. Instead, this has to do with the “other than conscious†mental linkage that occurs with all people who hold the intention to relate to one another for some purpose. I’ll explain. Dean Radin, Ph.D. reports the research documenting this phenomenon in his book “Entangled Minds†and there is a lot of other research supporting this. In the research Radin documents, pairs of research subject unknown previously to one another we brought together, hooked up to EEG monitoring devices. Their EEG tracings were dissimilar. They were then asked to meditate together for 15 minutes after which it was noted that their EEG tracings became synchronous. They were then separated and put in Faraday caged, light and sound proof rooms. One subject was exposed to a strobe light and the EEG of course demonstrated the corresponding activity in the occipital cortex. What is telling is that the other subject isolated as described above demonstrated exactly the same occipital lobe tracing at the same time as the one who received the light stimulation. So, this demonstrates that a non-electromagnetic linkage of mind occurs between people. An important thing here is the subjects were induced to enter a state of quantum entanglement by the intention to meditate together. Similarly, when patient and practitioner come together with the shared intention of a healing interaction, a similar linkage occurs and there is certain information relevant to the therapeutic interaction that becomes shared just as shared documents become available to computers on the same network (even though all documents and information will not be shared). When you look at it from this perspective, surrogate muscle testing is not a neuromuscular reflex in the patient. Instead, the muscle response in the surrogate or self-surrogate is seen as an “external indicator†of information that is already known at a subconscious level to both parties and it brings that information to conscious mind awareness. As with the research reported by Radin, contact or immediate physical proximity of the subject is not necessary in surrogate testing. Presence in this context is not about physical proximity. This same phenomenon happens all the time in conventional chiropractic but is generally not understood and misinterpreted as some sort of neuromuscular reflex. Activator technique testing is a great example. The leg length responses are the reaction of the patient to the other than conscious query based upon the metaphorical model taught in Activator technique of what is meant by the various physical strokes, brushings, and other cues given to the body. That meaning and the response that would correlate with the patient’s body’s perception of it physical condition is understood subconsciously by the patient’s mind-body and the leg length change reveals the body’s answer in the context of the Activator model held in mind by the practitioner. The same is true of the arm-fossa tests in SOT. They have nothing to do with hard wired neurology. S. Feinberg, D.C. From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of S.

A few people, typically other health care practitioner and not patients, have a bit of a challenge in understanding muscle response testing generally and surrogate testing specifically. I usually refer them to the book “Entangled Minds†by physicist Dean Radin, PhD to understand the science of quantum entanglement behind this linkage that makes direct or indirect (surrogate) muscle response testing possible. I now work about 50% of the time in my Oregon office and about 50% in my Mexico City office where I do NMT only and virtually all of that work is remote with people from all over the US, Canada, Europe, Asia, Australia, and Latin America. Obviously, they are all not only tested in a surrogate manner, but all the work is done on a remote basis and the results are excellent and identical to what we see for in-office treatment. When you think about it, all surrogate testing is remote testing, and in the world of non-locality there is no difference between a little remote or a lot remote. Either there is an effect mediated by contact with the patient, or there isn’t and if there is no physical contact, then as they say, “a miss is as good as a mileâ€. I just finished treating a young electrical engineer who works for Intel. He had hurt his low back a couple of weeks ago and could barely move and conventional chiropractic care afforded only slight and temporary relief. After his first remote NMT session last week he was immediately 80% resolved. Today at his second session, he was virtually pain free and full ROM after his second remote NMT session. Care for this low back condition was actually a sidetrack from the other distance NMT care he has received in the past 2 months. This fellow has such severe spring time environmental allergies that he requires shots of steroids on top of a variety of prescription allergy medications. After about 7 NMT sessions in the past 2 months he is absolutely free of spring time allergy symptoms and will probably have just a few more sessions to arrive at the point that the NMT system metrics I check for him demonstrate full resolution of his condition.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 GRAMMER CORRECTION: I loved the explanation of surrogate testing you gave and will save this for others to read that come to my office when I need to explain it. It is hard to explain and I have had to use it when there is no other means. I do find there are issues though with this type of testing. I find that if I have a predetermined idea of what the out come is this affects the outcome. Second, we are introducing another person into this equation, which picks up his or her thoughts and body issue. We might assume it is the one we are testing and it turns out it is the person we are using. Third, if either the person we need to test or the one we are using are dehydrated it will through (throw) the test. There are many issues that can interfere. I find it is better to test the surrogate person alone and find their issues before going any further. Hydrate both the surrogate and the patient for a good connection. Then tell the the surrogate to keep his thoughts more blank and not be thinking confusion for the patient's condition. Thoughts can change the test. There are both physical and metal issues that can change this test, along with the doctors thoughts. Good luck. I believe it take many years of experience to understand how muscle testing works and the problems with it. However, it does work. I do know that many people do not believe, unless they get it done to them by an experienced muscle tester. I find many doctors shoove (shove) the arm or muscle being tested to hard, because they expect the outcome to be a certain way. They over power the person being tested. It also is a problem, especially Surrogate testing in a court of law or trying to describe this for any legal purposes. Better to use standard testing and evaluation for any legal purposes and these other tests only for the doctors evaluations. I never put in my notes direct statements that my muscle testing is how I came to the diagnosis. 25 years of writing notes with muscle testing experience I do not throw my pearls amoung those that do not understand. From: Sharron Fuchs <sharronf@...>Subject: RE: 2 year old with chronic ear infections and allergies Date: Friday, April 16, 2010, 1:24 PM Can you assume that the patient and surrogate are ‘linked’ or do you have to meditate together or some other process and then test for the linkage ie EEG testing of each person? I was visiting with Dr. Freeman a few weeks ago and I asked him ‘ What if I don’t like the person?’ What I meant by that is can emotion or some other process interfere with your ability to read or interpret what ever you are asking or looking for?

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Hi Sharon, Agreement, intention, and belief are always part of the equation. The use of EEG is not ever part of a typical clinical arrangement and I referred to it only because it was used to document the underlying phenomenon of entanglement and mental connectivity. Human nuance is of course involved in every clinical interface. All that is required for consistent results with surrogate testing is an experienced and skilled practitioner, and the agreement and intention of the practitioner, patient, and surrogate to enter into this collaboration for the expressed purpose of helping the patient. Obviously, just as in any human “conversation” if one party does not want to engage, they don’t engage (I can’t HEEEEEAAAAR you!). The NMT muscle response protocol has numerous safeguards and checks to make sure that this feedback is working properly and working properly means that the practitioner is getting responses that reflect the patient’s mind-body perception of its internal state. Someone may say, “Well, that isn’t objective information.” My response is quite simple. What information does the mind-body base its physiological decisions on other than its perception of its internal state. The answer is nothing else! Jim used to talk a lot about FCB - faith, confidence, and belief as critical to the successful application of conventional chiropractic. The practitioner’s intention, and the conveyance of that information contained in this intention is always part of every chiropractic visit and adjustment. It is one reason why people of similar technical expertise in chiropractic get consistently different quality of results with the same techniques on similar patients/cases. Think about HIO work. The metaphor held in the mind of the practitioner, the opening of the gateway at the atlas to universal intelligence and the permission and access to healing is a very strong metaphorical model of informational medicine. Does anyone really believe that the great results upper cervical specialists get in wide ranging cases is truly the result of precisely positioning the atlas with tiny little vibratory thrusts??? Right, and then the patient goes out and plays football. Ha! Anyone who thinks chiropractic, however it is practiced is all about body mechanics has missed the boat.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Hi Les, Conversely if one attends a school at which the curriculum is one of a restricted vision ( chiropractic is only of value for strains & sprains, the manipulation can only do so much ) the young student will have implanted in his mind a limited concept of his role in the healing community. This type of D.C. will spend his/her career constantly searching for alternative methods to accomplish what they believe is beyond their clinical skills and will always believe that they are second rate practitioners. All told if this were to change it would call for a paradigm shift in the curriculum that is currently being taught at our "natural health universities". Herb Freeman D.C. From: S.

In the research Radin documents, pairs of research subject unknown previously to one another we brought together, hooked up to EEG monitoring devices. Their EEG tracings were dissimilar. They were then asked to meditate together for 15 minutes after which it was noted that their EEG tracings became synchronous. They were then separated and put in Faraday caged, light and sound proof rooms. One subject was exposed to a strobe light and the EEG of course demonstrated the corresponding activity in the occipital cortex. What is telling is that the other subject isolated as described above demonstrated exactly the same occipital lobe tracing at the same time as the one who received the light stimulation.

Minga was kind enough to point out that I had not changed the subject line and many may be over reading about PIP surgeons. I am asking for any treatment advice or wisdom to help this young girl.Patient is a 2 year old female with chronic ear infections. She has suffered from hearing loss as a result and is speech delayed. Anti-biotics do nothing for her and the infections keep recurring. She is allergic dairy and soy, her mother is unsure about wheat or gluten. Celiac is in the family history. She also suffers from seasonal allergies, her eyes are always weepy and her nose is constantly running. Overall, she appears to be a hypersensitive individual. Her insurance does not cover chiro or ND and her mother is at the end of her rope. She has another infant daughter who is displaying similar symptoms. I have seen her twice, otoscopic evaluation initially demonstrated erythema in bilateral TM with no bulging visualized. Due to cerum build-up, a fluid line could not be visualized. Treatment consisted of bilateral endonasal and cervical spine manipulation. Follow-up appointment, the left TM looked normal and much improved. No change noted in the right TM.Thank you in advance for your time! DeJana, DC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 OK, I'm hoping that what I'm reading on this thread is not representative of the general feelings of the group. My 2 cents is that this type of treatment should be relegated to the scrap heap of Toftness, etc in OR. I can't sit by and read this, knowing that there are new DCs on the list and recent arrivals to OR who are framing their opinion of how their profession is practiced here. One of the hardest things I experience in practice daily is gaining the trust of patients who have been exposed to this type of BS and now lump all DCs together as proponents and practitioners of this type of stuff. For those who typically email me off list with supportive tones when I voice my opinion like this, thanks, but please bring your sentiments into the open forum here so that your silence is not viewed as general acceptance of this stuff. If I'm the odd one out, and the community truly supports this, then I'll go play elsewhere. Enjoy your Saturday! W. Snell, D.C.

It is hard to explain and I have had to use it when there is no other means. I do find there are issues though with this type of testing. I find that if I have a predetermined idea of what the out come is this affects the outcome. Second, we are introducing another person into this equation, which picks up his or her thoughts and body issue. We might assume it is the one we are testing and it turns out it is the person we are using. Third, if either the person we need to test or the one we are using are dehydrated it will through (throw) the test. There are many issues that can interfere. I find it is better to test the surrogate person alone and find their issues before going any further. Hydrate both the surrogate and the patient for a good connection. Then tell the the surrogate to keep his thoughts more blank and not be thinking confusion for the patient's condition. Thoughts can change the test. There are both physical and metal issues that can change this test, along with the doctors thoughts. Good luck. I believe it take many years of experience to understand how muscle testing works and the problems with it. However, it does work. I do know that many people do not believe, unless they get it done to them by an experienced muscle tester. I find many doctors shoove (shove) the arm or muscle being tested to hard, because they expect the outcome to be a certain way. They over power the person being tested. It also is a problem, especially Surrogate testing in a court of law or trying to describe this for any legal purposes. Better to use standard testing and evaluation for any legal purposes and these other tests only for the doctors evaluations.

Minga was kind enough to point out that I had not changed the subject line and many may be over reading about PIP surgeons. I am asking for any treatment advice or wisdom to help this young girl.Patient is a 2 year old female with chronic ear infections. She has suffered from hearing loss as a result and is speech delayed. Anti-biotics do nothing for her and the infections keep recurring. She is allergic dairy and soy, her mother is unsure about wheat or gluten. Celiac is in the family history. She also suffers from seasonal allergies, her eyes are always weepy and her nose is constantly running. Overall, she appears to be a hypersensitive individual. Her insurance does not cover chiro or ND and her mother is at the end of her rope. She has another infant daughter who is displaying similar symptoms. I have seen hertwice, otoscopic evaluation initially demonstrated erythema in bilateral TM with no bulging visualized. Due to cerum build-up, a fluid line could not be visualized. Treatment consisted of bilateral endonasal and cervical spine manipulation. Follow-up appointment, the left TM looked normal and much improved. No change noted in the right TM.Thank you in advance for your time! DeJana, DC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Hi Herb, I was just listening to Bruce Lipton’s “Wisdom of the Cell” CDs while on a long drive last night. You echo (fractally reiterate) his theme of the role of subconscious programming that serves to rule in or rule out what is possible, permissible, deserved, and valid setting up the conscious mind to explore and enjoy only a limited bandwidth of an infinite spectrum of possibilities. In chiropractic, other health care professions, whole other industries, this subconscious programming of the sort that allows for constricted or expanded possibilities for the developing child, exists at the higher level of organization within professional and business communities and either allows them to be open to growth and development in response to a changing environment in which they exist , or causes them to become irrelevant and ineffectual. They either see themselves as empowered with the creative forces of the universe or they see themselves the victims limited and constrained definitions of who they are leading to very different paths of development. I agree that a paradigm shift of major proportions would have to occur within our “natural health universities” for them to break free of, not roles limited by the founders of our profession, but intentionally and willfully atrophied over the years by small minded people of limited vision who perverted the genius with which our profession was first envisioned. I’m reminded to in thinking about Lipton’s lecture in light of this conversation of the contrast he made between Lamarck’s vitalistic explanation of evolution and change in species and Darwin’s mostly plagiarized and devitalized mechanistic vision of evolution came to vogue – stolen ideas with the life sucked out of them. Again the idea of fractal reiteration of pattern. Feels a lot like what we are seeing in our “natural health universities”. The skeleton of the profession is there but all the juices have been sucked out and the connection to innate intelligence that inspired the birth of the profession was long ago pruned away leaving a dry, lifeless mechanism out of sync with the pulse of change in world. I think any change in this paradigm would require a grass roots revolution in which the students of these “natural health universities”, the only ones with the means, motive, and opportunity to create such change, simply demand it and pressure these institutions to rehabilitate themselves. $$$$ talk and students are the ones who control access to the $$$$ these institutions need to survive.

The use of EEG is not ever part of a typical clinical arrangement and I referred to it only because it was used to document the underlying phenomenon of entanglement and mental connectivity. Human nuance is of course involved in every clinical interface. All that is required for consistent results with surrogate testing is an experienced and skilled practitioner, and the agreement and intention of the practitioner, patient, and surrogate to enter into this collaboration for the expressed purpose of helping the patient. Obviously, just as in any human " conversation " if one party does not want to engage, they don't engage (I can't HEEEEEAAAAR you!). The NMT muscle response protocol has numerous safeguards and checks to make sure that this feedback is working properly and working properly means that the practitioner is getting responses that reflect the patient's mind-body perception of its internal state. Someone may say, " Well, that isn't objective information. " My response is quite simple. What information does the mind-body base its physiological decisions on other than its perception of its internal state. The answer is nothing else! Jim used to talk a lot about FCB - faith, confidence, and belief as critical to the successful application of conventional chiropractic. The practitioner's intention, and the conveyance of that information contained in this intention is always part of every chiropractic visit and adjustment. It is one reason why people of similar technical expertise in chiropractic get consistently different quality of results with the same techniques on similar patients/cases. Think about HIO work. The metaphor held in the mind of the practitioner, the opening of the gateway at the atlas to universal intelligence and the permission and access to healing is a very strong metaphorical model of informational medicine. Does anyone really believe that the great results upper cervical specialists get in wide ranging cases is truly the result of precisely positioning the atlas with tiny little vibratory thrusts??? Right, and then the patient goes out and plays football. Ha! Anyone who thinks chiropractic, however it is practiced is all about body mechanics has missed the boat.

Feinberg'; MekaAbou@...; mdejanadc@...; Subject: RE: 2 year old with chronic ear infections and allergies Someone sent me a question off line about surrogate testing and I thought I would offer these thoughts to any of you " think outside the box " types. Surrogate testing simply means that the patient is not muscle tested directly. Instead, either a third party who is with the practitioner is used to monitor the muscle response test result, or that the practitioner him/herself does a self test as a surrogate for the patient. This may seem quite odd to anyone who has not had experience with this sort of thing or who attempts to understand such an evaluation in terms of some direct neuromuscular reflex arising within the patient. It doesn't make sense in those terms. To understand muscle response testing generally, and surrogate muscle response testing specifically you have to dispense with that notion. It has nothing to do with it. Instead, this has to do with the " other than conscious " mental linkage that occurs with all people who hold the intention to relate to one another for some purpose. I'll explain. Dean Radin, Ph.D. reports the research documenting this phenomenon in his book " Entangled Minds " and there is a lot of other research supporting this. In the research Radin documents, pairs of research subject unknown previously to one another we brought together, hooked up to EEG monitoring devices. Their EEG tracings were dissimilar. They were then asked to meditate together for 15 minutes after which it was noted that their EEG tracings became synchronous. They were then separated and put in Faraday caged, light and sound proof rooms. One subject was exposed to a strobe light and the EEG of course demonstrated the corresponding activity in the occipital cortex. What is telling is that the other subject isolated as described above demonstrated exactly the same occipital lobe tracing at the same time as the one who received the light stimulation. So, this demonstrates that a non-electromagnetic linkage of mind occurs between people. An important thing here is the subjects were induced to enter a state of quantum entanglement by the intention to meditate together. Similarly, when patient and practitioner come together with the shared intention of a healing interaction, a similar linkage occurs and there is certain information relevant to the therapeutic interaction that becomes shared just as shared documents become available to computers on the same network (even though all documents and information will not be shared). When you look at it from this perspective, surrogate muscle testing is not a neuromuscular reflex in the patient. Instead, the muscle response in the surrogate or self-surrogate is seen as an " external indicator " of information that is already known at a subconscious level to both parties and it brings that information to conscious mind awareness. As with the research reported by Radin, contact or immediate physical proximity of the subject is not necessary in surrogate testing. Presence in this context is not about physical proximity. This same phenomenon happens all the time in conventional chiropractic but is generally not understood and misinterpreted as some sort of neuromuscular reflex. Activator technique testing is a great example. The leg length responses are the reaction of the patient to the other than conscious query based upon the metaphorical model taught in Activator technique of what is meant by the various physical strokes, brushings, and other cues given to the body. That meaning and the response that would correlate with the patient's body's perception of it physical condition is understood subconsciously by the patient's mind-body and the leg length change reveals the body's answer in the context of the Activator model held in mind by the practitioner. The same is true of the arm-fossa tests in SOT. They have nothing to do with hard wired neurology. S. Feinberg, D.C. From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of S.

A few people, typically other health care practitioner and not patients, have a bit of a challenge in understanding muscle response testing generally and surrogate testing specifically. I usually refer them to the book " Entangled Minds " by physicist Dean Radin, PhD to understand the science of quantum entanglement behind this linkage that makes direct or indirect (surrogate) muscle response testing possible. I now work about 50% of the time in my Oregon office and about 50% in my Mexico City office where I do NMT only and virtually all of that work is remote with people from all over the US, Canada, Europe, Asia, Australia, and Latin America. Obviously, they are all not only tested in a surrogate manner, but all the work is done on a remote basis and the results are excellent and identical to what we see for in-office treatment. When you think about it, all surrogate testing is remote testing, and in the world of non-locality there is no difference between a little remote or a lot remote. Either there is an effect mediated by contact with the patient, or there isn't and if there is no physical contact, then as they say, " a miss is as good as a mile " . I just finished treating a young electrical engineer who works for Intel. He had hurt his low back a couple of weeks ago and could barely move and conventional chiropractic care afforded only slight and temporary relief. After his first remote NMT session last week he was immediately 80% resolved. Today at his second session, he was virtually pain free and full ROM after his second remote NMT session. Care for this low back condition was actually a sidetrack from the other distance NMT care he has received in the past 2 months. This fellow has such severe spring time environmental allergies that he requires shots of steroids on top of a variety of prescription allergy medications. After about 7 NMT sessions in the past 2 months he is absolutely free of spring time allergy symptoms and will probably have just a few more sessions to arrive at the point that the NMT system metrics I check for him demonstrate full resolution of his condition. So, this surrogate stuff in skilled hands is the real McCoy. S. Feinberg, D.C. From: MekaAbou@...

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Dear Dr. Phil, Please see my previous responses to your posts from the last go around in which you blasted the vitalistic wing of chiropractic from your causal, dualistic, mechanistic, ignorant, pompous, and self-righteous pedestal. I wouldn’t waste the time to respond further to you again as my comments to you would be precisely the same as they were a couple of years ago when similar topics were discussed. I respect that you do good work for your patients and have learned well the various stretch, pop, zap, tape, grunt, and buzz mechanistic methods that you employ and that they produce results in a reasonable percentage of the cases you treat and that your patients love you and what you do. I would just ask (but never expect from someone like you) the same level of respect for those of us who use vitalistic chiropractic approaches. Instead, what I hear is a guy who would like to stage a Chiropractic Crystalnacht and have jackbooted thugs breaking down doors in the middle of the night to confiscate and burn books and apparatus that don’t correspond to the party line. The chiropractic tent is a big one with plenty of room for many philosophies of treatment. What we don’t need are chiropractic Nazis who want to suppress everyone else. S. Feinberg, D.C.

It is hard to explain and I have had to use it when there is no other means. I do find there are issues though with this type of testing. I find that if I have a predetermined idea of what the out come is this affects the outcome. Second, we are introducing another person into this equation, which picks up his or her thoughts and body issue. We might assume it is the one we are testing and it turns out it is the person we are using. Third, if either the person we need to test or the one we are using are dehydrated it will through (throw) the test. There are many issues that can interfere. I find it is better to test the surrogate person alone and find their issues before going any further. Hydrate both the surrogate and the patient for a good connection. Then tell the the surrogate to keep his thoughts more blank and not be thinking confusion for the patient's condition. Thoughts can change the test. There are both physical and metal issues that can change this test, along with the doctors thoughts. Good luck. I believe it take many years of experience to understand how muscle testing works and the problems with it. However, it does work. I do know that many people do not believe, unless they get it done to them by an experienced muscle tester. I find many doctors shoove (shove) the arm or muscle being tested to hard, because they expect the outcome to be a certain way. They over power the person being tested. It also is a problem, especially Surrogate testing in a court of law or trying to describe this for any legal purposes. Better to use standard testing and evaluation for any legal purposes and these other tests only for the doctors evaluations. I never put in my notes direct statements that my muscle testing is how I came to the diagnosis. 25 years of writing notes with muscle testing experience I do not throw my pearls amoung those that do not understand.

Feinberg'; MekaAbou@...; mdejanadc@...; Subject: RE: 2 year old with chronic ear infections and allergies Someone sent me a question off line about surrogate testing and I thought I would offer these thoughts to any of you “think outside the box†types. Surrogate testing simply means that the patient is not muscle tested directly. Instead, either a third party who is with the practitioner is used to monitor the muscle response test result, or that the practitioner him/herself does a self test as a surrogate for the patient. This may seem quite odd to anyone who has not had experience with this sort of thing or who attempts to understand such an evaluation in terms of some direct neuromuscular reflex arising within the patient. It doesn’t make sense in those terms. To understand muscle response testing generally, and surrogate muscle response testing specifically you have to dispense with that notion. It has nothing to do with it. Instead, this has to do with the “other than conscious†mental linkage that occurs with all people who hold the intention to relate to one another for some purpose. I’ll explain. Dean Radin, Ph.D. reports the research documenting this phenomenon in his book “Entangled Minds†and there is a lot of other research supporting this. In the research Radin documents, pairs of research subject unknown previously to one another we brought together, hooked up to EEG monitoring devices. Their EEG tracings were dissimilar. They were then asked to meditate together for 15 minutes after which it was noted that their EEG tracings became synchronous. They were then separated and put in Faraday caged, light and sound proof rooms. One subject was exposed to a strobe light and the EEG of course demonstrated the corresponding activity in the occipital cortex. What is telling is that the other subject isolated as described above demonstrated exactly the same occipital lobe tracing at the same time as the one who received the light stimulation. So, this demonstrates that a non-electromagnetic linkage of mind occurs between people. An important thing here is the subjects were induced to enter a state of quantum entanglement by the intention to meditate together. Similarly, when patient and practitioner come together with the shared intention of a healing interaction, a similar linkage occurs and there is certain information relevant to the therapeutic interaction that becomes shared just as shared documents become available to computers on the same network (even though all documents and information will not be shared). When you look at it from this perspective, surrogate muscle testing is not a neuromuscular reflex in the patient. Instead, the muscle response in the surrogate or self-surrogate is seen as an “external indicator†of information that is already known at a subconscious level to both parties and it brings that information to conscious mind awareness. As with the research reported by Radin, contact or immediate physical proximity of the subject is not necessary in surrogate testing. Presence in this context is not about physical proximity. This same phenomenon happens all the time in conventional chiropractic but is generally not understood and misinterpreted as some sort of neuromuscular reflex. Activator technique testing is a great example. The leg length responses are the reaction of the patient to the other than conscious query based upon the metaphorical model taught in Activator technique of what is meant by the various physical strokes, brushings, and other cues given to the body. That meaning and the response that would correlate with the patient’s body’s perception of it physical condition is understood subconsciously by the patient’s mind-body and the leg length change reveals the body’s answer in the context of the Activator model held in mind by the practitioner. The same is true of the arm-fossa tests in SOT. They have nothing to do with hard wired neurology. S. Feinberg, D.C. From: @grou ps.com [mailto:@ groups. com] On Behalf Of S.

A few people, typically other health care practitioner and not patients, have a bit of a challenge in understanding muscle response testing generally and surrogate testing specifically. I usually refer them to the book “Entangled Minds†by physicist Dean Radin, PhD to understand the science of quantum entanglement behind this linkage that makes direct or indirect (surrogate) muscle response testing possible. I now work about 50% of the time in my Oregon office and about 50% in my Mexico City office where I do NMT only and virtually all of that work is remote with people from all over the US, Canada, Europe, Asia, Australia, and Latin America. Obviously, they are all not only tested in a surrogate manner, but all the work is done on a remote basis and the results are excellent and identical to what we see for in-office treatment. When you think about it, all surrogate testing is remote testing, and in the world of non-locality there is no difference between a little remote or a lot remote. Either there is an effect mediated by contact with the patient, or there isn’t and if there is no physical contact, then as they say, “a miss is as good as a mileâ€. I just finished treating a young electrical engineer who works for Intel. He had hurt his low back a couple of weeks ago and could barely move and conventional chiropractic care afforded only slight and temporary relief. After his first remote NMT session last week he was immediately 80% resolved. Today at his second session, he was virtually pain free and full ROM after his second remote NMT session. Care for this low back condition was actually a sidetrack from the other distance NMT care he has received in the past 2 months. This fellow has such severe spring time environmental allergies that he requires shots of steroids on top of a variety of prescription allergy medications. After about 7 NMT sessions in the past 2 months he is absolutely free of spring time allergy symptoms and will probably have just a few more sessions to arrive at the point that the NMT system metrics I check for him demonstrate full resolution of his condition. So, this surrogate stuff in skilled hands is the real McCoy. S. Feinberg, D.C.

She also suffers from seasonal allergies, her eyes are always weepy and her nose is constantly running. Overall, she appears to be a hypersensitive individual. Her insurance does not cover chiro or ND and her mother is at the end of her rope. She has another infant daughter who is displaying similar symptoms. I have seen her twice, otoscopic evaluation initially demonstrated erythema in bilateral TM with no bulging visualized. Due to cerum build-up, a fluid line could not be visualized.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Hi Herb, I was just listening to Bruce Lipton’s “Wisdom of the Cell” CDs while on a long drive last night. You echo (fractally reiterate) his theme of the role of subconscious programming that serves to rule in or rule out what is possible, permissible, deserved, and valid setting up the conscious mind to explore and enjoy only a limited bandwidth of an infinite spectrum of possibilities. In chiropractic, other health care professions, whole other industries, this subconscious programming of the sort that allows for constricted or expanded possibilities for the developing child, exists at the higher level of organization within professional and business communities and either allows them to be open to growth and development in response to a changing environment in which they exist , or causes them to become irrelevant and ineffectual. They either see themselves as empowered with the creative forces of the universe or they see themselves the victims limited and constrained definitions of who they are leading to very different paths of development. I agree that a paradigm shift of major proportions would have to occur within our “natural health universities” for them to break free of, not roles limited by the founders of our profession, but intentionally and willfully atrophied over the years by small minded people of limited vision who perverted the genius with which our profession was first envisioned. I’m reminded to in thinking about Lipton’s lecture in light of this conversation of the contrast he made between Lamarck’s vitalistic explanation of evolution and change in species and Darwin’s mostly plagiarized and devitalized mechanistic vision of evolution came to vogue – stolen ideas with the life sucked out of them. Again the idea of fractal reiteration of pattern. Feels a lot like what we are seeing in our “natural health universities”. The skeleton of the profession is there but all the juices have been sucked out and the connection to innate intelligence that inspired the birth of the profession was long ago pruned away leaving a dry, lifeless mechanism out of sync with the pulse of change in world. I think any change in this paradigm would require a grass roots revolution in which the students of these “natural health universities”, the only ones with the means, motive, and opportunity to create such change, simply demand it and pressure these institutions to rehabilitate themselves. $$$$ talk and students are the ones who control access to the $$$$ these institutions need to survive.

From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of BERNICE FREEMAN Sent: Saturday, April 17, 2010 7:24 AM Subject: Re: 2 year old with chronic ear infections and allergies Hi Les, Conversely if one attends a school at which the curriculum is one of a restricted vision ( chiropractic is only of value for strains & sprains, the manipulation can only do so much ) the young student will have implanted in his mind a limited concept of his role in the healing community. This type of D.C. will spend his/her career constantly searching for alternative methods to accomplish what they believe is beyond their clinical skills and will always believe that they are second rate practitioners. All told if this were to change it would call for a paradigm shift in the curriculum that is currently being taught at our " natural health universities " . Herb Freeman D.C. From: S. Feinberg 'Sharron Fuchs' ; Sent: Saturday, April 17, 2010 12:07 AM Subject: RE: 2 year old with chronic ear infections and allergies Hi Sharon, Agreement, intention, and belief are always part of the equation. The use of EEG is not ever part of a typical clinical arrangement and I referred to it only because it was used to document the underlying phenomenon of entanglement and mental connectivity. Human nuance is of course involved in every clinical interface. All that is required for consistent results with surrogate testing is an experienced and skilled practitioner, and the agreement and intention of the practitioner, patient, and surrogate to enter into this collaboration for the expressed purpose of helping the patient. Obviously, just as in any human " conversation " if one party does not want to engage, they don't engage (I can't HEEEEEAAAAR you!). The NMT muscle response protocol has numerous safeguards and checks to make sure that this feedback is working properly and working properly means that the practitioner is getting responses that reflect the patient's mind-body perception of its internal state. Someone may say, " Well, that isn't objective information. " My response is quite simple. What information does the mind-body base its physiological decisions on other than its perception of its internal state. The answer is nothing else! Jim used to talk a lot about FCB - faith, confidence, and belief as critical to the successful application of conventional chiropractic. The practitioner's intention, and the conveyance of that information contained in this intention is always part of every chiropractic visit and adjustment. It is one reason why people of similar technical expertise in chiropractic get consistently different quality of results with the same techniques on similar patients/cases. Think about HIO work. The metaphor held in the mind of the practitioner, the opening of the gateway at the atlas to universal intelligence and the permission and access to healing is a very strong metaphorical model of informational medicine. Does anyone really believe that the great results upper cervical specialists get in wide ranging cases is truly the result of precisely positioning the atlas with tiny little vibratory thrusts??? Right, and then the patient goes out and plays football. Ha! Anyone who thinks chiropractic, however it is practiced is all about body mechanics has missed the boat. That is only a piece of the equation. S. Feinberg, D.C.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 We’ve seen this crap before, haven’t we? In the 1950’s anyone who wanted to work in the film industry or other industries had to sign pledges to hew to the party line. Same thing in the Soviet Union, Nazi Germany, and I think that they have the same type of pledges in Iran and Saudi Arabia. Nothing new here. Giordano Bruno was burned at the stake in Italy for his heresy and now, of course, is well rehabilitated. Rupert Sheldrake tells us that now, a century past the revolution in human understanding ushered in by the revelation of quantum mechanics that 90% of the scientists in biological science define themselves with pride as “mechanistic biologists”. As Kuhn told us in “The Structure of Scientific Revolutions”, the “experts” are the last ones to see a the change in scientific paradigm coming. The first clue they have that change is on the way is when, after the fact, they see that they are standing alone and the whole of science has moved away from them. As you should know, Lamarck had the inspired revelation of a feedback mechanism between the environment and genetics that guided evolution. By way of a political circus following the defeat of Napoleon and the return of the king and his minions, Lamark was made the buffoon and the narrow minded and scientifically wrong perspectives of Darwin were made sacrosanct. In 1988 it was demonstrated that in fact Lamarck was right and a non-mitotic mutative replication of DNA genes occurs in order to find a new gene structure capable of responding successfully to a changed environment and that mutation of genes had little to do with random mutation. Lamarck was right!!! How much better it would have been if science had been open to inquiry and new thinking and ideas were allowed to stand or fall on their own in an intellectually honest environment, instead of making science handmaiden to politics and dogma. The one thing that we must all agree upon is that our profession will remain open to new thought, that we will maintain respect for one another and honor diversity in our profession, and that we won’t allow Chiro-Nazis to set us against one another and promote and atmosphere of fear and persecution.

Then tell the the surrogate to keep his thoughts more blank and not be thinking confusion for the patient's condition. Thoughts can change the test. There are both physical and metal issues that can change this test, along with the doctors thoughts. Good luck. I believe it take many years of experience to understand how muscle testing works and the problems with it. However, it does work. I do know that many people do not believe, unless they get it done to them by an experienced muscle tester. I find many doctors shoove (shove) the arm or muscle being tested to hard, because they expect the outcome to be a certain way. They over power the person being tested. It also is a problem, especially Surrogate testing in a court of law or trying to describe this for any legal purposes. Better to use standard testing and evaluation for any legal purposes and these other tests only for the doctors evaluations. I never put in my notes direct statements that my muscle testing is how I came to the diagnosis. 25 years of writing notes with muscle testing experience I do not throw my pearls amoung those that do not understand.

Feinberg'; MekaAbou@...; mdejanadc@...; Subject: RE: 2 year old with chronic ear infections and allergies Someone sent me a question off line about surrogate testing and I thought I would offer these thoughts to any of you “think outside the box” types. Surrogate testing simply means that the patient is not muscle tested directly. Instead, either a third party who is with the practitioner is used to monitor the muscle response test result, or that the practitioner him/herself does a self test as a surrogate for the patient. This may seem quite odd to anyone who has not had experience with this sort of thing or who attempts to understand such an evaluation in terms of some direct neuromuscular reflex arising within the patient. It doesn’t make sense in those terms. To understand muscle response testing generally, and surrogate muscle response testing specifically you have to dispense with that notion. It has nothing to do with it. Instead, this has to do with the “other than conscious” mental linkage that occurs with all people who hold the intention to relate to one another for some purpose. I’ll explain. Dean Radin, Ph.D. reports the research documenting this phenomenon in his book “Entangled Minds” and there is a lot of other research supporting this. In the research Radin documents, pairs of research subject unknown previously to one another we brought together, hooked up to EEG monitoring devices. Their EEG tracings were dissimilar. They were then asked to meditate together for 15 minutes after which it was noted that their EEG tracings became synchronous. They were then separated and put in Faraday caged, light and sound proof rooms. One subject was exposed to a strobe light and the EEG of course demonstrated the corresponding activity in the occipital cortex. What is telling is that the other subject isolated as described above demonstrated exactly the same occipital lobe tracing at the same time as the one who received the light stimulation. So, this demonstrates that a non-electromagnetic linkage of mind occurs between people. An important thing here is the subjects were induced to enter a state of quantum entanglement by the intention to meditate together. Similarly, when patient and practitioner come together with the shared intention of a healing interaction, a similar linkage occurs and there is certain information relevant to the therapeutic interaction that becomes shared just as shared documents become available to computers on the same network (even though all documents and information will not be shared). When you look at it from this perspective, surrogate muscle testing is not a neuromuscular reflex in the patient. Instead, the muscle response in the surrogate or self-surrogate is seen as an “external indicator” of information that is already known at a subconscious level to both parties and it brings that information to conscious mind awareness. As with the research reported by Radin, contact or immediate physical proximity of the subject is not necessary in surrogate testing. Presence in this context is not about physical proximity. This same phenomenon happens all the time in conventional chiropractic but is generally not understood and misinterpreted as some sort of neuromuscular reflex. Activator technique testing is a great example. The leg length responses are the reaction of the patient to the other than conscious query based upon the metaphorical model taught in Activator technique of what is meant by the various physical strokes, brushings, and other cues given to the body. That meaning and the response that would correlate with the patient’s body’s perception of it physical condition is understood subconsciously by the patient’s mind-body and the leg length change reveals the body’s answer in the context of the Activator model held in mind by the practitioner. The same is true of the arm-fossa tests in SOT. They have nothing to do with hard wired neurology. S. Feinberg, D.C. From: @grou ps.com [mailto:@ groups. com] On Behalf Of S.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Hi Les,The health paradigm shift that embraces a wider view, including mechanistic and vitalistic rays without prejudice, seems to reflect a process of human maturation that includes both individuals and human civilization in general. The larger view reflects on the similarities of religion and science, of which our mechanistic/vitalistic thoughts are a part, as if two wings of a single bird. They both inform us albeit from varying perspectives. In this regard, I like the Buddha's way of saying it, "As the shadow follows the body, as we think, so do we become."Looking back, we seem drawn by life itself to not be satisfied for long with what is known, but to continue seeking something. Perhaps it's been said no better than for us to love one another. Sears, DC, IAYT1218 NW 21st AvePortland, Oregon 97209v: 503-225-0255f: 503-525-6902www.docbones.comOn Apr 17, 2010, at 11:04 AM, S. Feinberg wrote: Hi Herb, I was just listening to Bruce Lipton’s “Wisdom of the Cell” CDs while on a long drive last night. You echo (fractally reiterate) his theme of the role of subconscious programming that serves to rule in or rule out what is possible, permissible, deserved, and valid setting up the conscious mind to explore and enjoy only a limited bandwidth of an infinite spectrum of possibilities. In chiropractic, other health care professions, whole other industries, this subconscious programming of the sort that allows for constricted or expanded possibilities for the developing child, exists at the higher level of organization within professional and business communities and either allows them to be open to growth and development in response to a changing environment in which they exist , or causes them to become irrelevant and ineffectual. They either see themselves as empowered with the creative forces of the universe or they see themselves the victims limited and constrained definitions of who they are leading to very different paths of development. I agree that a paradigm shift of major proportions would have to occur within our “natural health universities” for them to break free of, not roles limited by the founders of our profession, but intentionally and willfully atrophied over the years by small minded people of limited vision who perverted the genius with which our profession was first envisioned. I’m reminded to in thinking about Lipton’s lecture in light of this conversation of the contrast he made between Lamarck’s vitalistic explanation of evolution and change in species and Darwin’s mostly plagiarized and devitalized mechanistic vision of evolution came to vogue – stolen ideas with the life sucked out of them. Again the idea of fractal reiteration of pattern. Feels a lot like what we are seeing in our “natural health universities”. The skeleton of the profession is there but all the juices have been sucked out and the connection to innate intelligence that inspired the birth of the profession was long ago pruned away leaving a dry, lifeless mechanism out of sync with the pulse of change in world. I think any change in this paradigm would require a grass roots revolution in which the students of these “natural health universities”, the only ones with the means, motive, and opportunity to create such change, simply demand it and pressure these institutions to rehabilitate themselves. $$$$ talk and students are the ones who control access to the $$$$ these institutions need to survive.

This type of D.C. will spend his/her career constantly searching for alternative methods to accomplish what they believe is beyond their clinical skills and will always believe that they are second rate practitioners.

Feinberg 'Sharron Fuchs' ; Sent: Saturday, April 17, 2010 12:07 AM Subject: RE: 2 year old with chronic ear infections and allergies Hi Sharon,Agreement, intention, and belief are always part of the equation. The use of EEG is not ever part of a typical clinical arrangement and I referred to it only because it was used to document the underlying phenomenon of entanglement and mental connectivity. Human nuance is of course involved in every clinical interface. All that is required for consistent results with surrogate testing is an experienced and skilled practitioner, and the agreement and intention of the practitioner, patient, and surrogate to enter into this collaboration for the expressed purpose of helping the patient. Obviously, just as in any human "conversation" if one party does not want to engage, they don't engage (I can't HEEEEEAAAAR you!). The NMT muscle response protocol has numerous safeguards and checks to make sure that this feedback is working properly and working properly means that the practitioner is getting responses that reflect the patient's mind-body perception of its internal state. Someone may say, "Well, that isn't objective information." My response is quite simple. What information does the mind-body base its physiological decisions on other than its perception of its internal state. The answer is nothing else! Jim used to talk a lot about FCB - faith, confidence, and belief as critical to the successful application of conventional chiropractic. The practitioner's intention, and the conveyance of that information contained in this intention is always part of every chiropractic visit and adjustment. It is one reason why people of similar technical expertise in chiropractic get consistently different quality of results with the same techniques on similar patients/cases. Think about HIO work. The metaphor held in the mind of the practitioner, the opening of the gateway at the atlas to universal intelligence and the permission and access to healing is a very strong metaphorical model of informational medicine. Does anyone really believe that the great results upper cervical specialists get in wide ranging cases is truly the result of precisely positioning the atlas with tiny little vibratory thrusts??? Right, and then the patient goes out and plays football. Ha! Anyone who thinks chiropractic, however it is practiced is all about body mechanics has missed the boat. That is only a piece of the equation. S. Feinberg, D.C.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Always nice to hear from an old friend Les. In regards to the big tent of chiropractic, I am surprisingly in agreement that there is a need for diversity in the public health arena. There is also a need for a subset of well qualified musculoskeletal professionals to address the epidemic of low back pain and spinal complaints in the western world. Our ability to achieve the cultural authority to assume the position as the go-to specialists to field that challenge is limited by the types of practice that we are discussing. The people have spoken in public opinion polls. They don't trust chiros, but they do perceive us to be experts in the spine.The problem from my perspective is that others consider might consider that the types of therapy your promulgating are the status quo in the profession. I'm quite happy that they are considered odd and practiced via phone from offices in Mexico. W. Snell, D.C.

It is hard to explain and I have had to use it when there is no other means. I do find there are issues though with this type of testing. I find that if I have a predetermined idea of what the out come is this affects the outcome. Second, we are introducing another person into this equation, which picks up his or her thoughts and body issue. We might assume it is the one we are testing and it turns out it is the person we are using. Third, if either the person we need to test or the one we are using are dehydrated it will through (throw) the test. There are many issues that can interfere. I find it is better to test the surrogate person alone and find their issues before going any further. Hydrate both the surrogate and the patient for a good connection. Then tell the the surrogate to keep his thoughts more blank and not be thinking confusion for the patient's condition. Thoughts can change the test. There are both physical and metal issues that can change this test, along with the doctors thoughts. Good luck. I believe it take many years of experience to understand how muscle testing works and the problems with it. However, it does work. I do know that many people do not believe, unless they get it done to them by an experienced muscle tester. I find many doctors shoove (shove) the arm or muscle being tested to hard, because they expect the outcome to be a certain way. They over power the person being tested. It also is a problem, especially Surrogate testing in a court of law or trying to describe this for any legal purposes. Better to use standard testing and evaluation for any legal purposes and these other tests only for the doctors evaluations. I never put in my notes direct statements that my muscle testing is how I came to the diagnosis. 25 years of writing notes with muscle testing experience I do not throw my pearls amoung those that do not understand. From: Sharron Fuchs <sharronftdinjurylaw> Subject: RE: 2 year old with chronic ear infections and allergies Date: Friday, April 16, 2010, 1:24 PM Can you assume that the patient and surrogate are ‘linked’ or do you have to meditate together or some other process and then test for the linkage ie EEG testing of each person? I was visiting with Dr. Freeman a few weeks ago and I asked him ‘ What if I don’t like the person?’ What I meant by that is can emotion or some other process interfere with your ability to read or interpret what ever you are asking or looking for? Or do you just turn in to a robot testing machine and not allow human nuance into it? s. fuchs dc From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of S. Feinberg Sent: Friday, April 16, 2010 12:59 PM ' S. Feinberg'; MekaAbouaol; mdejanadcgmail; Subject: RE: 2 year old with chronic ear infections and allergies Someone sent me a question off line about surrogate testing and I thought I would offer these thoughts to any of you “think outside the box” types. Surrogate testing simply means that the patient is not muscle tested directly. Instead, either a third party who is with the practitioner is used to monitor the muscle response test result, or that the practitioner him/herself does a self test as a surrogate for the patient. This may seem quite odd to anyone who has not had experience with this sort of thing or who attempts to understand such an evaluation in terms of some direct neuromuscular reflex arising within the patient. It doesn’t make sense in those terms. To understand muscle response testing generally, and surrogate muscle response testing specifically you have to dispense with that notion. It has nothing to do with it. Instead, this has to do with the “other than conscious” mental linkage that occurs with all people who hold the intention to relate to one another for some purpose. I’ll explain. Dean Radin, Ph.D. reports the research documenting this phenomenon in his book “Entangled Minds” and there is a lot of other research supporting this. In the research Radin documents, pairs of research subject unknown previously to one another we brought together, hooked up to EEG monitoring devices. Their EEG tracings were dissimilar. They were then asked to meditate together for 15 minutes after which it was noted that their EEG tracings became synchronous. They were then separated and put in Faraday caged, light and sound proof rooms. One subject was exposed to a strobe light and the EEG of course demonstrated the corresponding activity in the occipital cortex. What is telling is that the other subject isolated as described above demonstrated exactly the same occipital lobe tracing at the same time as the one who received the light stimulation. So, this demonstrates that a non-electromagnetic linkage of mind occurs between people. An important thing here is the subjects were induced to enter a state of quantum entanglement by the intention to meditate together. Similarly, when patient and practitioner come together with the shared intention of a healing interaction, a similar linkage occurs and there is certain information relevant to the therapeutic interaction that becomes shared just as shared documents become available to computers on the same network (even though all documents and information will not be shared). When you look at it from this perspective, surrogate muscle testing is not a neuromuscular reflex in the patient. Instead, the muscle response in the surrogate or self-surrogate is seen as an “external indicator” of information that is already known at a subconscious level to both parties and it brings that information to conscious mind awareness. As with the research reported by Radin, contact or immediate physical proximity of the subject is not necessary in surrogate testing. Presence in this context is not about physical proximity. This same phenomenon happens all the time in conventional chiropractic but is generally not understood and misinterpreted as some sort of neuromuscular reflex. Activator technique testing is a great example. The leg length responses are the reaction of the patient to the other than conscious query based upon the metaphorical model taught in Activator technique of what is meant by the various physical strokes, brushings, and other cues given to the body. That meaning and the response that would correlate with the patient’s body’s perception of it physical condition is understood subconsciously by the patient’s mind-body and the leg length change reveals the body’s answer in the context of the Activator model held in mind by the practitioner. The same is true of the arm-fossa tests in SOT. They have nothing to do with hard wired neurology. S. Feinberg, D.C. From: @grou ps.com [mailto:@ groups. com] On Behalf Of S.

A few people, typically other health care practitioner and not patients, have a bit of a challenge in understanding muscle response testing generally and surrogate testing specifically. I usually refer them to the book “Entangled Minds” by physicist Dean Radin, PhD to understand the science of quantum entanglement behind this linkage that makes direct or indirect (surrogate) muscle response testing possible. I now work about 50% of the time in my Oregon office and about 50% in my Mexico City office where I do NMT only and virtually all of that work is remote with people from all over the US, Canada, Europe, Asia, Australia, and Latin America. Obviously, they are all not only tested in a surrogate manner, but all the work is done on a remote basis and the results are excellent and identical to what we see for in-office treatment. When you think about it, all surrogate testing is remote testing, and in the world of non-locality there is no difference between a little remote or a lot remote. Either there is an effect mediated by contact with the patient, or there isn’t and if there is no physical contact, then as they say, “a miss is as good as a mile”. I just finished treating a young electrical engineer who works for Intel. He had hurt his low back a couple of weeks ago and could barely move and conventional chiropractic care afforded only slight and temporary relief. After his first remote NMT session last week he was immediately 80% resolved. Today at his second session, he was virtually pain free and full ROM after his second remote NMT session. Care for this low back condition was actually a sidetrack from the other distance NMT care he has received in the past 2 months. This fellow has such severe spring time environmental allergies that he requires shots of steroids on top of a variety of prescription allergy medications. After about 7 NMT sessions in the past 2 months he is absolutely free of spring time allergy symptoms and will probably have just a few more sessions to arrive at the point that the NMT system metrics I check for him demonstrate full resolution of his condition. So, this surrogate stuff in skilled hands is the real McCoy. S. Feinberg, D.C.

Minga was kind enough to point out that I had not changed the subject line and many may be over reading about PIP surgeons. I am asking for any treatment advice or wisdom to help this young girl. Patient is a 2 year old female with chronic ear infections. She has suffered from hearing loss as a result and is speech delayed. Anti-biotics do nothing for her and the infections keep recurring. She is allergic dairy and soy, her mother is unsure about wheat or gluten. Celiac is in the family history. She also suffers from seasonal allergies, her eyes are always weepy and her nose is constantly running. Overall, she appears to be a hypersensitive individual. Her insurance does not cover chiro or ND and her mother is at the end of her rope. She has another infant daughter who is displaying similar symptoms. I have seen her twice, otoscopic evaluation initially demonstrated erythema in bilateral TM with no bulging visualized. Due to cerum build-up, a fluid line could not be visualized. Treatment consisted of bilateral endonasal and cervical spine manipulation. Follow-up appointment, the left TM looked normal and much improved. No change noted in the right TM.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Amen, Herb. As I recall, I was told that WSCC used to induct all students in the healing art called REIKI, understanding the importance of enhancing intuition, subtle palpation and one's ability to transmit healing energy by touch. WSCC has moved to the far right (using a political metaphor) of its origins. I guess it's like so many things in our world right now where 'seeing is believing' and if it ain't proven by double blind, peer reviewed folks, it ain't true or is suspect. Funny thing though, the a lot of the same folks believe that most of allopathic medicine has withstood such research and review--which is clearly has NOT--and also accept that God exists even though there is no tangible, empirical evidence of his/her existence. Then there are those who refuse to accept as 'truth' scientific knowledge that most people of even average intellect accept as such. It's an amazing world we live in. And as we see here, the flip side of celebrating great diversity of technique is boxing oneself into a restrictive, judgmental and dogmatic "belief" systems. Just my thoughts, for whatever they are worth. Ann DC 2 year old with chronic ear infections and allergies Hi all again.
