Testing the muscles of the fingers as they are placed in the shape of an "O" is used as a subjective test to evoke the "wisdom" of the body. The nervous system contracts and relaxes muscles, based on a bi-digital response mechanism. The nervous system is electrical in nature. Much like an electrical current that has a positive and negative pole, and magnets that have a north and a south pole, your nervous system also has a polarity feedback mechanism felt within the muscles being tested. The muscle can be felt as strong or weak. Using filters of differing homeopathic dilutions as bits of information placed within the field of the patient, Dr. Gordon will determine which filter or filters create changes with your muscle. This is a specialized system of testing, used much like a detective device, monitoring your body's response to information placed within your energy field. There will be a collection of filters gathered. This reflects your energetic disharmony. Remedies are then tested for effectiveness and tolerability. These nutritional/herbal supplements are tested in order to find the most precise, focused and tolerated supplements to bring your body back into a balanced state.

Muscle testing is painless and noninvasive. Although subjective, it can provide a wealth of information that may not be available even with objective, expensive equipment and laboratory testing. The basis of your assessment relies upon all tests given, both subjective and objective. This way we can serve to see your particular situation as it is revealed physically, chemically and energetically. The appropriate remedies and acupuncture points are selected to open, clear and harmonize your imbalances. By being able to look at your body and its system through these various testing methods, the treatment and remedies prescribed are far more precise and effective.
