Are you plagued by chronic symptoms that the medical system has been unable to diagnose or resolve? Have you been down countless investigative paths without answers? You are not alone! There is hope for you to become symptom free.
The human body has many amazing systems and abilities. Learning to utilize your body’s biofeedback mechanisms can help you to identify root source of chronic and unexplained symptoms. In our busy lives we sometimes miss the subtle messages that our bodies are giving us.
Bio-investigative Tools
In the 1950s, Dr. Arthur Coca identified that his wife’s heart rate would increase if she ate a food that provoked an inappropriate or allergic response. This was, as Dr. Coca put it, ‘accidentally acquired knowledge’ which he then applied to patients as well as his wife. The results were very effective and consistent.” Listening to the heart through a stethoscope, taking a temperature, pulse or blood pressure reading, are all forms of biofeedback which provide information.
Similarly bodyfeedback response testing can provide information about factors contributing to your symptoms and conditions. Have you noticed that there are times when you feel sudden weakness or nausea, your balance is altered or one side of your body is weaker than the other side? Anything can cause disruption to the natural balance, communication and function within your body. Learning how to read your body’s responses after exposure to suspected causes can provide you with health protection. Bodyfeedback response testing is a form of neuromuscular biofeedback, an applied kinesiology biofeedback testing method. It uses feedback from the body and brain (your virtual black box) as information. Using this biofeedback while holding different foods or with a questioning protocol can provide the similar ‘accidentally acquired knowledge’ that Dr Coca identified with his wife.

What do the changes biofeedback changes mean? Generally speaking it means that something is altering your body’s normal, regular way of maintaining balance or functioning. The item or protocol factor could be responsible for confusion, interference, imbalance, disruption, malfunction or damage. Your body’s chemical equation may be altered – resulting in unwanted symptoms. Sometimes it is a challenge to the immune system, blood sugar regulation, sometimes to the nervous, endocrine or other systems, and sometimes to the liver or heart; all necessary to stay strong and healthy. If this challenge happens on a daily/weakly basis the accumulative results can be catastrophic, particularly if you are fighting degenerative or life threatening diseases like cancer. Biofeedback investigation can provide you with valuable information and give you direction as to what you can ‘stop, start and change’ daily for a healthier you, to protect your health and to become symptom free.
You can use changes to your balance or muscle strength as a bio-investigative tool to help you solve your chronic and unexplained symptoms. To learn how to use your body’s biofeedback responses read my blog post MUSCLE RESPONSE TESTING: A Holistic Health Strategy That Can Change Your Health

When I provide a BodyFeedback & Therapy session for clients I have them bring me a written list of the foods they regularly eat and drinks, their supplements, personal care products and medications. I started asking them to bring a sample of their drining water as well and was astonished at the weakness of many clients to their regular drinking water. Since we are mostly water, the water that we drink needs to be clean. According to the EWG, forever chemicals are an ongoing concern in drinking water. This was ‘accidentally acquired knowledge’ like Dr. Cocoa identified with his wife. I then started researching pollutants in drinking water and tested water filtration pitchers. The filter pitcher three years running, ZeroWater topped the CNET list as the best water filter pitcher for removing total dissolved solids from tap water. Interestingly, it comes with a tester which I now use after biofeedback testing clients water samples. The Zero particulate matter tester, which comes with the pitcher, backs up the biofeedback testing results – ‘accidnetally acquired knowledge’. It lets you know when to change your filter. I have tested clients using biofeedback on their drinking water before and after filtration and interestingly, some water that goes through filters also causes a weak biofeedback response. I went back to my researching and apparently their are filters in water filter pitchers that actually add harmful substances to the drinking water. You can check out that research. My recommendation is the Zero water filter pitcher. I just ordered the 40 cup glass countertop unit to replace my Zero pitcher. The Zero water filters remove 99.99% of all dissolved solids, Water filtered by our Replacement Water Filters can deliver 0 ppm TDS which refers to the concentration of total dissolved substances in the water. The smaller the TDS value, and the higher the purity of the water. What does the Zero water filter remove? Check the results here. Check out the Zero water products that I use and recommend at the end of this post below.
New Treatment for Medically Unexplained Symptoms & Mental Health Challenges
Recent research review carried out by Yanda R. van Rood, Leiden University Medical Centre, The Netherlands and Carlijn de Roos, Psychotrauma Center for Children and Youth, The Netherlands; has provided hope for many suffering from medically unexplained symptoms (MUS), including chronic pain. EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a psychotherapy treatment that was originally designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories. Research has shown success in the elimination of chronic medically unexplained physical symptoms including pain with EMDR treatments. EMDR treatments are provided by a EMDR Therapist. Dr. John Veltheim incorporated the EMDR basics into the Active Memory BodyTalk therapy. To book an Active Memory (EMDR) BodyTalk therapy session contact me.
