Autonomic Response Testing (A.R.T.) is a scientifically-based biofeedback and healing modality that utilizes principles of physics to uncover stressors in the body and how to clear them. We measure subtle changes in muscle tension which reflect the status of the autonomic nervous system. A.R.T. is great for anyone who wants to get healthier by discovering what the hidden obstacles are to better health.  Often clearing these stressors will resolve symptoms or improve a chronic illness.

 

This testing gives you information to supplement but not replace blood work. Blood tests are often very expensive and can lead to false negative results due to the lack of sensitivity of the test or because toxins and infections do not always reside in the blood but hide in the tissue and organs. With A.R.T., we test for the most important toxins and infections and the various remedies that will clear the issue. We also test for biophysical stress as well as emotions. We use the Mental Field Technique (MFT) to clear trauma and this method has helped many people resolve long-standing health issues and handle stress better.

 

Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt, MD, PhD, developed A.R.T. in the 1980s, and in conjunction with Daniela Deiosso, MSc, Founder of the Klinghardt Institute in Sussex, England, offers ongoing education, training and certification of practitioners worldwide. This testing protocol is considered very reliable and has been tested on a large number of patients by Dr. Klinghardt and the many practitioners around the world. It is up to the client whether or not to undertake any recommendations that result from this testing at his/her own risk and responsibility. This information is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice and is not covered by insurance. Always seek the advice of your doctor or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition.

​

A.R.T. is a unique form of "muscle-testing" in several important ways. We are testing the biophoton emissions of the body in the context of  Klinghardt's "7 Factors of Wellness and Chronic Illness" and the Five Levels of Healing (the physical, energy, mental, intuitive and spiritual bodies). By testing biophotons we are able to identify issues that could eventually cause illness and how to clear them. We make suggestions for how to clear them.  According to the Klinghardt Institute, A.R.T. "focuses on identifying and addressing the 7 most common factors that block or stress the healthy functioning of the nervous system and offers solutions for their correction." We use a specific step-by-step protocol to reveal the big picture and the priorities to help you improve your overall health and well-being.

​

This testing gives you critical information for things such as whether or not the person is sleeping or spending a lot of time during the day in a location where there is geopathic or emf radiation. We also test for energetic disturbances (scars, tattoos, dental issues, etc.). This kind of information can really be a game changer. 

 

Testing will be done in the offices of Dr. Michael A. Baylin, Integrative Dentistry. I am very lucky to practice out of  Dr. Baylin's offices because he is a true healer and pioneering practitioner of the Klinghardt A.R.T. method.  Dr. Baylin was also trained by Dr. Omura, who developed the bi-digital O-ring test that we use in A.R.T.  People come from far and wide to see Dr. Baylin because of his expertise in biological dentistry, natural medicine and A.R.T. testing.  I have learned a lot from him over the years as a patient. So many health problems begin in the mouth.

​

Solutions can include anything from simply moving one's bed or treating a scar with tapping, to herbal tinctures or tea, binders, vitamins or modifications to diet. With any recommendation we use muscle-tension biofeedback to confirm that the solution takes away the stress and tests very strong for the person. That way the client doesn't waste time on changes that don't make much of a difference. With A.R.T. , we focus on the priority stressors so the client will return to health more quickly. If what you're doing isn't working, then A.R.T. can provide valuable insight. Maybe you are not losing weight or you're fatigued because you have hidden infections or too much biophysical stress everyday. Its also possible that something "healthy" you eat everyday is stressing you.
