Energy Testing to Find Sensitivities
By Tom Dorzab

I said I wouldn't do it, but I lied. I said I had spent enough time talking about allergies and sensitivities, but here we go again. I'm sorry, I just can't help myself. I promise this will be my last article on the subject (at least until the sun rises again). It's such an important topic these days, I just had to slip one more in.

I don't know how many of you have tried the sensitivity protocol I've presented, but for those of you that have tried it or will try it, I would like to give you some ideas as to how to use it. There are some simple helpful hints that you can try that may have some profound effects on reducing or even eliminating your symptoms.

Energy tests (muscle tests) are a great way to discover sensitivities. I prefer to place the substance to be tested on the solar plexus of a client and test using the Spleen Meridian muscle test. I could probably spend many months worth of articles just explaining the last sentence, but for simplicity's sake, I'm going to let it ride for now (see the April 2008 edition of this newsletter for more details on energy testing). If you're familiar with energy testing, just use any test that works for you. While energy tests are not always 100% accurate, depending on the skill level of the practitioner, they can be very accurate. They also tend to be much more sensitive than conventional medical tests for sensitivities.

Most of us tend to have symptoms that have been with us for quite some time. After a while they become so much a part of our life and we get so used to them, that we don't even think of them as symptoms anymore. Since people are often not even aware that they have a sensitivity to a substance, making the connection between a substance sensitivity and one or more symptoms is usually impossible.

It's only after correcting our sensitivities that we notice changes. In my case, after correcting a sensitivity to vitamin C, I noticed a definite change in my breathing. It was almost like getting over a mild cold. The interesting thing is that I didn't even realize there was anything wrong with my breathing to start with. As is true in so many areas of our life, we don't notice it until it's gone.

OK, so let's get to some of those helpful hints I was telling you about. One of the easiest ways to get over a bunch of sensitivities without even testing is to simply place a very small quantity of every food or drink you put in your mouth on a piece of paper, fold it up, lay it on your solar plexus, and have someone correct for everything there. Of course you probably won't be sensitive to everything in the paper, but why take chances? Remember, if you know you are highly sensitive to a substance, I would recommend finding a qualified practitioner to help you through. You also need to review all my previous articles on sensitivities and allergies prior to beginning.

We are often bothered by airborne substances and don't know which of the thousands of possible offending substances is affecting us. You can also take the scatter gun approach to correcting these airborne substances. One easy way to collect the sample for correction is to place an open jar of distilled water outside or inside depending on your needs for about 24 hours. Then do the correction with the jar resting on the solar plexus. If you're in a hurry and don't want to wait 24 hours, you can take a damp paper towel, wipe smooth surfaces with it and then place the paper towel on your solar plexus and correct.

Remember that air quality can change dramatically from one day to the next. Seasonal changes in pollen, mold, spores etc, industrial changes coming from local smoke stacks and who knows what else can change the composition of the air we breathe in a heartbeat.

Inside air is by no means static either. In addition, most would agree that inside air is often of a lower quality than outside air. Carpeting, paints, cleaning chemicals not to mention cosmetics and other personal health products all contribute to the long and growing list of possible substances that could be and probably are adversely affecting your health.

This should give you some ideas on ways to get to the bottom of some of those symptoms, whether you're aware of them or not.

I've heard all kinds of claims regarding sensitivity corrections. I can tell you from my own experience that sensitivity corrections almost always work. I can also tell you that, even if they work, if you don't tackle the energetic reasons why you developed the sensitivity in the first place, the odds are good that your old friends, your sensitivities, will be back to visit.

If you're sick and tired of being sick and tired, give yourself some relief by correcting those pesky sensitivities first. Then, with your energetic Band Aid in place, work to correct those energetic imbalances that are the root of the problem. You can get a good running start by reading the back issues of this newsletter.

I wish you luck in your journey. I have to warn you though, once you start you'll find more healing treasures than you could ever have imagined. They're all around you. All you have to do is open your eyes.
