Session 7 Flashcards
Systemic Conditions and Nutrition
It is best to take a nutritional supplement by
a) swallowing it quickly
b) chewing or in salivating the supplement before swallowing
b
When attempting to find the proper nutrition to support an organ or gland, it is best to test the muscle (s) _______ with that organ or gland
Associated
If there are numerous nutritional substances that will cause a weak muscle to test strong, use the product that dramatically ___________
Relieves NL tenderness
If a holding challenge forces an organ further into lesion, when will a non-associated indicator muscle weaken
During the holding challenge, but not after
If a holding challenge forces an organ further into lesion, when will an associated muscle weaken
During the holding challenge and for some time after the challenge is removed
Normal axillary temperature, when taken first thing in the morning before arising is
36.5-36.8deg Celsius
In males it is generally adequate to record basal temperature for ____________
In females of child-bearing age, basal temperature should be taken for ____________
One week
One menstrual cycle
The thyroid is
a) inhibited by oestrogen
c) stimulated by oestrogen
a
The thyroid and adrenals share a precursor. What is it
Tyrosine
The thymus has an alarm point that is not a classical one, but has been determined clinically in Applied Kinesiology. Where is it
CV18, three sun above the tip of the zyphoid
How do we diagnose whether the thymus or adrenals are primary
Therapy localise the sartorius NL for infraspinatus and vice versa
What is the best position to diagnose for lymphatic congestion
20deg retrograde position
In this position, how do we determine that lymphatic congestion is causing the indicator weakness
Have the patient raise arms above the head
What effect does this (13 above) have
The weakened indicator muscle immediately becomes strong
What muscle is involved in retrograde lymphatic technique
Pectoralis minor
What is the test position for right lymphatic duct technique
Patient flexes right arm to 90deg and flexes the neck until chin approximates chest
What auscultation abnormality is associated with a congested liver
Loud second heart sound over the tricuspid valve region
If you suspect that a patient has a congested or sluggish liver, what precautionary test would you apply before prescribing B vitamin supplementation
Test if the vitamin B supplement weakens the pectoralis major sternal
Vitamin B & G differ in that one group is nerve stimulating and the other is nerve relaxing. Which is which
B are nerve stimulating
G are nerve relaxing
Oral pH parallels blood pH. Oral pH is normally
6.5-7.0
“Excessive acid” patients are often
a) Hyperchlorhydric
b) Hypochlorhydric
b
The systemic pH of patients with allergies are generally
a) Acid
b) Neutral
c) Alkaline
c
“Endocrine glands regulate pH more than diet”. True or false
True
In general, fruit and vegetables are _________ ash foods, starches and proteins are _______ ash foods
Alkaline
Acid
Closed ICV has a specific time of symptom aggravation. It is
Increased symptoms upon arising in the morning that ease with movement
A patient has carpal tunnel syndrome. Why would you check the patient’s ileocecal valve
To reduce fluid retention
Why would you check the above patient’s pelvic floor
Weakness of the pelvic floor musculature may allow the abdominal contents to sag and affect ICV
What diet may you suggest after correcting an ICV
A low roughage, non-irritating diet
For conversion of proglucagon to glucagon the major cofactors are
Vanadium, B6, B3
Before supplementing with pancreatic enzymes, what might best be tried first
Increase stomach acid (acid chyme elicits increase of pancreatic digestive enzymes)
What is inversely related to blood calcium concentration
Neuromuscular irritability
What are the two major causes of the rapid rise in gastrointestinal (GIT) problems through the 20th century
Increased consumption of refined carbohydrates
Reduction in natural dietary roughage
What are the three major treatment approaches to gastrointestinal problems
Ensure adequate dietary fibre
Reduce refined carbohydrates
Restore normal bowel flora
Where is the pituitary neurolymphatics
Glabella
Name a simple non-adjustive treatment for pineal dysfunction
Sunlight
A stomach condition may be one cause of allergic reaction. What is it
Hypochlorhydria
What is a good first approach in the treatment of allergy
A complete structural examination and correction where indicated
If an allergen challenge causes a strong indicator or associated muscle to weaken, what is the next step in allergen assessment
Cross TL or cross challenge with another factor such as an organ NL or nutritional substance to find what abolishes the allergen challenge
If a patient has a positive challenge to an allergen and you suspect a phobic or learned response, what is the next step in diagnosis
Continue the challenge and retest for strengthening while the patient holds each of the six NLP eye positions
What allergies should not be treated
Allergies that are for the patient’s benefit
