Abstract/Notes

The object was to develop a double blind experiment for testing the premise of a muscle testing procedure referred to as Applied Kinesiology (AK). In a non-blind test there was a significant difference (P < .05) in muscle response to lump sugar versus the same amount in a 10 ml solution of distilled H2O. It was not possible to demonstrate significant differences in response to sweet and non-sweet sugar solutions of various concentrations, to fresh sesame oil and heated, or to fresh corn oil and aged corn oil when stimuli were applied in a double blind experiment. It was concluded on the basis of the parameters of this study that the AK response generally expected did not occur.
