Podcast 314: Muscle Testing for Your OWN Health Answers
Martin Pytela and Scott Paton talk about muscle testing and using the technique to learn what your body wants and needs to be healthy.
There is a connection we all can access – the universal consciousness that we all share. There is only one truth, and it is knowable. The truth techniques are learnable – it only takes some practice until we are able to do it reliably. It is much like walking, swimming, or riding a bicycle – it takes practice to perfect, and everybody can do it.
Podcast 314: Muscle Testing for Your OWN Health Answers
SCOTT: Welcome, everybody! This is the Life Enthusiast Podcast, restoring vitality to you and to the planet! I am Scott Paton, he is Martin Pytela! Welcome, Martin, how are you doing today?
MARTIN: I’m doing good, thank you!
SCOTT: One of the things that we wanted to talk about today was the truth. And I’m reminded of the old Jesus Christ Superstar rock opera, and my favorite, favorite lyric or line of the whole thing was ‘we all have truths, are mine the same as yours?’ And one of the things that we are looking at is that our words can lie, we can lie to ourselves in our mind, but our body doesn’t lie. So what I wanted to do today was talk a little bit about how we can get to the truth. Like how can we see if some supplement really is working for us or against us? And you are an expert on that Martin. It is one area that we don’t talk about nearly enough, so I want to jump in today. So can the body only tell the truth?
MARTIN: Truth and trust, huh? I get a lot of phone calls from people asking me to tell them what to do. “Give me the instructions, tell me what exactly I should use so I can get from here to there. Is this thing the right one for me? Is that thing the right one for me?” And the truth is out there. There is this universal knowing, your body is connected through its electromagnetics to the universal field of potentiality, the great big human consciousness. It truly is out there, and we know. I need to be making a statement. So the statement could be something like ‘today is Thursday’ or ‘my gender is female.’
SCOTT: And then we will know if it’s a true statement or a false statement, right?
MARTIN: Yes, the statement is either true or false and when I make a true statement, my body is strengthened for a short amount of time, 10 seconds. When you make a false statement, your circuitry is weakened for a short amount of time. Typically, this is done through kinesiology. The biggest proponent of this was David Hawkins, he put out books called ‘Power versus Force’ and ‘The Eye of The I.’
SCOTT: I think I read Power versus Force.
MARTIN: In the book, he is explaining kinesiology. For example, if you extend your arm like this and you push down on it or add some weight to it, you will find it easy to resist, or hard to resist. So when I make a statement that is true, I’ll be stronger. When I make a statement, that’s false, I’ll be weaker.
SCOTT: Just for a few minutes, and then it goes away, right?
MARTIN: Not even minutes, seconds. And the method that I use for myself when pressed is this: I connect my thumb to my pinkie on my non-dominant hand, which in my case is left. And then I try to separate this connection between fingers with my other hand. So when I’m strong, making a true statement, I’m having a hard time separating the fingers, but when I’m weak, making a statement that is not true, it doesn’t take much.
SCOTT: It’s pretty amazing when you do it, because it’s like: “Come on, how can it be?” And I’ve had quite a lot of experience with kinesiology as well, most of it about 20 years ago. I took this course, and as a part of the course, we were doing muscle testing. We were doing it as you were saying, you’d have your hand out, and then another person would push down on it, and the exercise was to count the years backwards. So 2016, 2015, 2014, and so on, and each time you said a number, another person pushed your arm down. And as I was counting down, my arm was doing this: nothing, nothing, move down, nothing, nothing, move down, nothing, nothing, nothing, move down.
And I had no idea why it was going down, what was going on. The individual that I was doing it with was from London, England, and I’m from Vancouver, Canada. We had never met before, I had no clue who this person was. He actually said he had heard about it four days before the course started, it was like a week-long or two-week long course. And when my hand went down as he was pushing on it, it was on years when he lost 3 million pounds, when his wife divorced him, when he gave up his son for adoption, when his son came back into his life, when his daughter got married, when he moved, when he was forced to leave his house, when he bought his house, every major event, and he could not believe it. We were roommates, so afterward that night we were sitting there, talking about the day and he says: “Scott, this is what happened this year, this is what happened that year,” and it was all those years where my arm moved down. It just blew our minds, because both of us were incredibly skeptical about the whole process.
MARTIN: Interesting! I want to show you one other method. I use a pendulum, which is a steel object on a silver chain, you can learn to work with it. So I’m going to close my eyes. So I don’t even see what it’s doing. And then I’m going to say: “give me a yes.” So my ‘yes’ is a rotation clockwise. Now I say: “give me a no.” So my ‘no’ is a rotation counterclockwise. So what do you want to know? What do you want to know that you’re not sure about?
SCOTT: Oh, will I make a trip to the Greek islands this year?
MARTIN: That’s a dumb ass question because can you just go do it if you want right? Will I marry a Prince?
SCOTT: (laughing) No, I hope not. I would be really upset.
MARTIN: Okay. I would be asking something like: “It is wise for me to take a trip to Greece this summer.” That’s a question worth asking.
SCOTT: All right. Is it wise for me to take a trip to Greece?
MARTIN: Okay. I’m going to go like this: “It is wise of me to answer Scott’s question.” Okay, it says ‘yes,’ I can do that. Okay. So now let’s ask: “It is wise for Scott Patton to take a trip to Greece this summer.”
SCOTT: No.
MARTIN: It’s a ‘no.’
SCOTT: I was thinking of September. (laughing)
MARTIN: All right, it is wise for Scott to take a trip to the Greek islands this September.
SCOTT: That’s a ‘yes!’
MARTIN: That’s a clear ‘yes!’
SCOTT: Oh good! Yes!
MARTIN: I was doing this in front of a guy, and I asked: “This guy is an honest man.” I got a clear ‘no.’
SCOTT: Oh!
MARTIN: I’m thinking: “okay, why did I ask it, and what does it mean?” So I said: “This man tells a lie when he feels he needs to.” And it was a ‘yes.’ Then I had to rephrase it: “It is okay for me to do business with this man.” I got a ‘yes.’
SCOTT: Interesting…
MARTIN: Because he would lie when he needed to. We all do! I mean, I don’t want to hurt my friend’s feelings or my wife’s feelings, when they ask me…
SCOTT: Do you like my haircut?
MARTIN: Well, in this case, I do, so that’s the truth.
SCOTT: (laughing) Sometimes the brutal truth is not necessarily a way to develop better friendships.
MARTIN: Right, but if you define ‘honest,’ that means ‘tells truth every time.’ So we can ask… I keep saying ‘ask,’ but it’s not really asking, it is making a statement that can be either true (yes) or false (no). Here is a bottle of water. It’s wise of me to drink more than three glasses of this every day, more than four glasses of this every day, more than five glasses of this every day, more than six glasses of this every day… See how I got a ‘no’ at six? So at this point, it would be wise of me to drink five glasses of water every day, not more. I didn’t prepare for this well enough, so I don’t have any supplements here right now, but you can do that with a menu in a restaurant! “Today it is wise of me to order this meal, this meal, this meal… You will get a ‘yes’ on the one that’s right for you today. Or you can go to our website, you can point your finger at the product that you think you might want to order from Life Enthusiast, and you can say: “it is wise of me to order this product today.” And you may get a ‘yes.’
SCOTT: And if you don’t have a pendulum, then you can do the same thing with your fingers as Martin demonstrated earlier. I actually do it differently, I do it with my dominant hand.
MARTIN: I have my finger so strong that I can’t separate it regardless, so that is why I’m using the pinkie, because it’s easier to break, it is the weakest finger in general.
SCOTT: Cool, I like the idea of the non-dominant hand and the weaker finger.
MARTIN: It’s very noticeable. You just practice, you make true statements and false statements until you know the difference. And it’s not going to be that hard.
SCOTT: Now, one of the things that we learned when we were doing the kinesiology, where you put your arm out, was that sometimes the circuits are switched, so the ‘yes’ looks like a ‘no…’
MARTIN: Reversed polarity, that happens to people. What we need to do is turn on the switching. It’s the same thing you would do with tapping, the same thing you would do when you’re doing the EFT. You need to touch these specific spots in your body in the right order so that the circuit is switched on correctly. This is a very simple exercise. Look at that, 15 minutes, and we have not only explained it, but we have also demonstrated the Truth technique. Now we are going to give it away for free, but you could pay somebody $75 to learn it. You can always do a ‘fact check.’ Like, today is Thursday, we are recording on Thursday, so if you make this statement with the pendulum, it should come out as true. Then you have to make an untrue statement, like ‘my eyes are brown,’ which they are not, and you should get a ‘no,” so you know that your polarity is not switched.
SCOTT: Let’s talk a little bit more about some ways that you could check your prescription drugs, uh, I mean, check your supplements, to see if they’re okay.
MARTIN: You can check your prescription drugs, don’t hesitate!
SCOTT: I don’t want people to be watching this and then come back to their doctor with their prescription drugs and say: “It said no.”
MARTIN: The funny thing, is your headache caused by a deficiency of Tylenol? Is your breast cancer caused by the deficiency of Tamoxifen and radiation? Is your high blood pressure caused by a deficiency in beta channel blockers? Interesting thoughts, right? There are four ways of how doctors try to regulate your blood pressure. They know that calcium is the element that supports the greater pressure, more squeezing. So they actually are introducing a calcium channel blocker medication. But wouldn’t you know it, the natural antidote to calcium isn’t a calcium channel blocker, it is actually magnesium! Calcium activates the sympathetic nervous system, magnesium inactivates the sympathetic. Okay, so you can just come out with your fingers or with your pendulum and you say: “Today, I need to supplement with magnesium.” It is a ‘yes.’ I need at least 500 milligrams of magnesium. It is a ‘no,’ I need less than 300 milligrams of magnesium. ‘No.’ I need more than 400 milligrams of magnesium. I need less than 500 milligrams of magnesium. So we are now between 400 and 500 milligrams of magnesium, and in my magnesium oil, that’s about three-quarters of a teaspoon.
SCOTT: So then you just put it on your skin and let it absorb?
MARTIN: Sure! Or you can take it orally. This will just determine that today I need about 450 milligrams of magnesium. That it will be the right dose for me today.
SCOTT: So to put it simply, you can ask your body, and your body’s going to give you an answer.
MARTIN: Yes, pretty much. I can step up to a bottle in my freezer, that’s where I keep my superfoods, I can take it out, hold it and say, “this is the right thing for me today.”
SCOTT: It’s pretty amazing to watch because it just doesn’t look like you are doing anything.
MARTIN: I am not doing anything, I’m allowing it to do its thing. It’s not that I’m volitionally controlling it through my conscious muscle control, I’m allowing it to do whatever it wants to do.
SCOTT: Yeah. The body is doing it, and that’s how it’s communicating to you. A really good one is to go into the grocery store and get a little package of sugar and just see how weak that makes you. (laughing)
MARTIN: Yes. Sugar makes you weaker. Refined salt does it to most people. A ‘yes’ today might not mean a ‘yes’ tomorrow, a dosage makes a big difference, a brand makes a difference. So is this thing today okay for me?
SCOTT: Yeah, and tomorrow it may be a totally different answer.
MARTIN: It’s good to recheck.
SCOTT: Great. Awesome! I think we covered the basics of muscle testing pretty well. We’ve given you two different ways that you can muscle test.
MARTIN: Some people use the ‘falling forward, falling back’ technique, you just take the object you want to know about, and put it to your chest, and if your body naturally leans into it, it’s probably good for you, if you feel like you are falling away from it, it’s probably not good for you.
SCOTT: If you faint, it is definitely a ‘no.’ (laughing)
MARTIN: (laughing) The comedian in you just shows up every time!
