? Some people believe you can test for allergies by placing a glass vial with an allergen on/near a person, then testing the strength of a particular muscle for weakness. They believe weakness would indicate an allergy to the substance in the vile. . . . This study tested whether practitioners of “Health Kinesiology” (a subset of “Applied Kinesiology”) could accurately detect allergies to WASP VENOM in patients with a clear history of anaphalactic reactions, and who had been already been confirmed as having significant allergies to wasps. . . . ❌They FAILED MISERABLY. . . . Proponents of Applied Kinesiology will argue that they get results! Well, even if your method is complete nonsesnse, you will still get results due to random chance! In this experiment, they simply had to guess between TWO vials, one with poison, and one with just salt water. They had a 50/50 chance, just like a coin flip, to get it right. So if they are actually doing something right, they should statistaclly perform better than a random coin flip. Well, they actually did WORSE THAN A COINFLIP. . . . The claim was an extraordinary claim to begin with, because it completely lacks any biological plausibility in the first place. Sure enough, when pressured by the rigors of science, Applied Kinesiology falls flat on its face. . . . ?♀️Don’t let people scam you with magic tricks, folks. . . . ?CITATION: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11926427 . .
