A form of Dowsing?

[mominator]

I was at the health food store getting my supply of L-Tyrosine, and the cashier & I started talking about thyroid & how great this stuff is for it. So....she asked me if I was willing to take a short test. I did!

She had me hold my hand on throat near my thyroid, then she pushed down on my arm, I was to hold the weight as much as possible. Then I put the bottle of L-tyrosine to my throat & she pushed my arm again, I was able to withstand her pressure, my arm barely moved! Weird, brain thinking for the arm....all possible, BUT I had no idea what she was going to do or trying to prove....so I think this may be a form of dowsing. For those interested...oh btw....she also had me test my adrenals, since a sluggish thyroid tends to effect the adrenals, and sure enough the same thing...then she pumped my arm to see my dosage...she tried 1 my arm fell, 2 it stayed, 3 it fell again. So my dosage is "2" a day.....again...WEIRD!

Just thought I would share it with you. Those that cheat at "p", may find this techinique helpful, whether it would effect "boobage" since who knows.

Heya Momi'.

Yep, what she did is called body dowsing. Yep, hard to cheat when you're literally not the controlling it. Good luck with the thyroid!

What she did is called "muscle testing" and is a technique used in applied kinesiology - and yes it's very similar to dowsing and even more similar to body dowsing.

A lot of natural health practitioners use the method - chiropractors, massage therapists, herbalists, naturopaths, etc. It's a little hard to perform on yourself though.

Did you get anything for the adrenal problem?

Yes it showed adrenal issues, so she tested the dosage of Licorice. That's when she pumped my arm. She did test my thryoid, but not for dosage, I've been taking L-Tyrosine for 2 years for that, so I have the routine down pat.

QUITE difficult to do by yourself, talk about "cheating" Right after I thought "I wonder if this if a form of dowsing" but didn't go back to the store. It was interesting though
