Guest guest Posted September 29, 2003 Report Share Posted September 29, 2003 Do you know anything about the Peak Muscle Resistance Test (PMRT) also called the " O Ring " test where people hold their thumb and ring finger together. The doctor tries to pull them apart while the patient touches vials (small glass containers) of toxins and chemicals, which was apparently developed by a Japanese professor in the 1980s. It is used to identify allergies, chemical toxicities and some sicknesses. If you don't know about it can you please tell me where I can find out - 1. Is it used in North America? 2. Is it used in other countries? 3. How much is it used? 4. Is it successful? 5. Is it approved by the medical profession (doctors). 6. Have there been problems with it such as other doctors trying to ban it? 7. Do any medial doctors use it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 30, 2003 Report Share Posted September 30, 2003 Hi, I answered this once but wasn't sent through so I will try to give you an answer that is acceptable? Yes it is used in North America. My experience was semi-successful with it but I don't know if there are any studies in regards to it's efficacy in a control group. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2003 Report Share Posted September 30, 2003 My understanding is that it is a form of muscle testing or Kinesiology (sp?). My chiropractor uses muscle testing & it's amazing. I was a skeptic until he tried it on me. You actually experience muscle weakness when he touches an area on your body experiencing a problem. Then, if applicable, he would place a supplement in my hand & test me again. If I was stronger, the supplement would be beneficial. If not, it would not help my problem. Totally bizarre but seems to work. He pushes on your arm or leg, not the O Ring method. I have seen a person, who has a doctor of natureopathy degree, do the muscle testing on herself using the method you describe. Sounds like it's used in self-testing. You need to know the correct spots to test for certain conditions. (example: Pushing on my leg to detect colon problems. It's all based on pressure points or nerve paths or something like that.) I'm sure you can find more info on the internet. I have seen books at the library. Traditional doctors are skeptical of most of this alternative stuff. They consider it quackery in the articles I have read. But I found it accurate in my personal case. The problem is finding someone knowledgeable in this. , " Laura Cooper " <toyotaokiec> wrote: > Do you know anything about the Peak Muscle Resistance Test (PMRT) > also called the " O Ring " test where people hold their thumb and ring > finger together.
