Applied Kinesiologists....

Is this real or quackery?????

What make you say quackery? Kinesiology is applied in the design of lots of products and a kinesiologist may also be a physiatrist.

I googled Applied Kinesiology and viola, article after article about quackery, that is why I said quackery. I do not generally buy in to everything I read on the net, I am crazy, but not stupid, but it was pretty overwhelming that somebody out there has questions about this type of therapy.

Hmmm.
I was just going by the standard definition.

You'll surely find your answer on Quackwatch, which says in part "...Unfortunately, some professionals and educators refer to science-based kinesiology as "applied kinesiology," which increases the risk that people searching for information will confuse the two."

I remember, i was in my early 20's and I was seeing someone for ??? I don't even remember now. He put a bottle of pills in my hand and did the thing with the arms, strong / weak with or without the pills. He said, you have worms. The pills were piperazine, a worm medicine.

I took the pills, they acted like a laxative, really gave me gut cramps.

did i have worms? Don't know, i forgot to look, i was too miserable. (and it really po' ed the guy that i didn't check) seemed dumb to me too.

Worms

That reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where George is too cheap to pay for a tonsillectomy so he and Jerry go to see Tor, the holistic healer.
Tor tells Jerry he's eating too much dairy and tells George not to bathe with warm water.
