AUTONOMIC RESPONSE TESTING (ART)
Your Body Knows What it Needs to Heal
​
ART is a very sophisticated form of muscle testing developed by world-renowned Lyme and Chronic Disease physician Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt, M.D., PhD, along with Louisa Williams, MC, DC, ND, and Yoshiaki Omura, MD.
​
It is a simple, non-invasive way to screen your body as to the various contributors to your health issues. It does this by utilizing proven concepts in Quantum Physics that enable the practitioner to evaluate the state of the Autonomic Nervous System.
​
Did you know that when the CIA and FBI perform a lie detector test (also known as a polygraph test), they also are primarily measuring the activity of the Autonomic Nervous System? Yes, that is what they are doing. When a person lies, the body activates the sympathetic part (fight or flight response) of the Autonomic Nervous System and that is measured by the polygraph machine.
​
With ART, we can evaluate different substances, such toxins, and infection frequencies to see if they affect your Autonomic Nervous System and shift your body into a fight of flight state. We can also see if deficiencies of certain substances, such as nutrients and hormones, are putting stress on your system. This is evaluated through a change in muscle tone, neurological, and energetic reflexes. This can give us great insight into your health and the factors contributing to your illness that may not show up on lab testing. When we identify contributors to your health condition, we can also find what treatments your body can utilize to reverse these imbalances.
I often tell patients, just like laboratory testing, ART is another way to collect data. This helps to inform us of the best way to move forward with treatment to restore your health.
​
In summary Autonomic Response Testing (ART) is an advanced biofeedback assessment that:
​
• Helps to identify chronic infections, organ imbalances, and toxicity in your body.
• Helps to identify the proper remedies or therapies to clear the imbalances.
• Helps prioritize what needs treatment first and what are the most effective treatments for
your body.
• Can confirm if the positive lab findings are indeed an issue for you. It will also tell us if there
are contributing issues for you that did not show up on lab tests.
