Are allergy tests and/or applied kinesiology worth it? - Page 2

post #21 of 22
There's a way that your 5yo can test himself if you want to try it. My DS does it. I'll give you instructions like it's you. uh-oh. I'll tell you later. DS isn't here to show me and I can't remember which way is yes and which is no! Hah! But you hold the food at about your solar plexus with both hands. For my son he says "Will I react badly if I eat this food?" and if he moves forward it's one and backward is the other. I was very skeptical when a lady told me. I came home and I didn't tell him what I was doing (which way was which) and everything was extremely accurate. Our osteo is still amazed by it. I want to say forward is yes and backward is no but I'll check when DS comes home from basketball.

With AK, it all depends on the practitioner. For me, the naturopath wasn't accurate at all. But for my DS, the osteo has been right on. How many times do you need to go back and forth with the diet and diaper rash to determine if it's coincidence? To feel comfortable that it's scientific? Everyone is different I think.

oh, I bet ds would like that. I'll have him try a few things. He was way into the AK stuff!

Yeah, it's hard to tell when it's coincidence and when it's causal. I'd hate to think that all of this ED is for nothing! One more time of sweet potato and/or salicylates, then a rash the next day, will be enough for me to be pretty sure there's a relationship there for ds2.
Who knows with ds1?!?! But he said he's willing to cut out whatever he might be sensitive to. He's such a sport (until he wants to eat some cheese, I'd guess. haha).
