What is Autonomic Response Testing?

Autonomic Response Testing is a new form of kinesiology developed by Dr Dietrich Klinghardt, M.D.,Ph.D., that seeks to marry the American techniques and Philosophy of Applied and clinical Kinesiology, with the European developed therapy called Neural Therapy.

Dr Klinghardt is renowned for having developed the best Pain clinic in the U.S.A. He is currently training doctors, dentists and other therapists in A.R.T. to help with the diagnosis and treatment of chronic illness caused by the exposure to toxins and heavy metals from our currently polluted environment. A.R.T. is especially designed for helping people to achieve optimum health.

Autonomic Response Testing primarily focuses on the assessment of health and/or dysfunction of the Autonomic Nervous system. This system is the main regulator of normal and abnormal function of the body and nerves, as well as organs, tissues and cells, which are primarily influenced and controlled by autonomic homeostasis.

Dr Klinghardt's success lies in the development of a map to guide Diagnosis and Treatment. He integrated knowledge that as a human being we function on five different levels. Diagnosing and Treatment are targeted on the level where the original cause for the body's homeostasis to become imbalanced. The five levels are represented by:

Physical Body – Sensations, Action/Motion
Electromagnetic Body – Feelings
Mental Body – Beliefs, Attitudes, Thoughts
Intuitive Body – Symbols, Trance, Meditative state, Dreams, Curses, Spirit Possession
Spiritual Body – Bliss, Oneness with God. This level represents the patient's own experience and journey, therefore, is not treated by the practitioner

Each level has its own anatomical and connectional designation, related science, diagnostic method and Medical treatment/Healing techniques.

The A.R.T. Testing Sequence

Blocked Regulation
Switching (electrical chaos in the nervous system, usually caused by electrical overload of the system). Most common causes are scar tissue, foci, teeth, tonsillectomy and acute trauma
Emotional Reversal: deep seated attitudes towards health that are buried in the subconscious mind. (I am able, willing, ready etc, to be completely healthy)
Testing of the communication from the ANS to the individual organs (Broekel Scan)
Symptom Scanning
Organ Scan
Scanning the 7 Factors: 1) Food allergies, 2) Heavy Metal Toxicity (i.e. Mercury, Lead, etc.), 3) Solvents and man-made chemicals, 4) Interference Fields, 5) Jaw alignment and Malocclusion, 6) Acute or unresolved psycho-emotional conflict, 7) Geopathic stress
Colour: Colour treatment is a profound and easy to apply therapy that helps bring deep levels of the para-sympathetic healing (Yin state)
Testing for nutritional and detoxification supplementation
Mental Field Therapy exercises: MFT is a powerful therapy to aid open regulation. The tapping points are related to the Acupuncture points found in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Patients will be given their own tapping sequence which will need to be exercised four minutes four times per day for a period of six weeks. This therapy works on the 3rd body of the human being
