Pick up any guide to alte ative health-care and you will find a plethora of therapies claiming to be “holistic”. Everyone today seems to agree that the human being should be treated as a whole, but does anyone really do it? Is anyone even capable of doing it? Allopathic medicine has been severely criticized for treating symptoms or conditions rather than treating whole people. But is this really a fair criticism? Medical doctors take histories, order tests, and perform examinations to find out everything they possibly can about each whole person before doing anything else.

When I’m meeting new people at a social or a networking event, I introduce myself as a Doctor of Chiropractic and an Applied Kinesiologist. Sometimes they have no idea what AK is and I fill them in. But most of the time, they will say something like “I had someone touch a spot on me and then pull down on my outstretched arm. It was weak. Then I held a bottle of pills and was told I needed them. Is that Applied Kinesiology?” This is one of the big abuses of muscle testing.

First before we talk about Neuro-lympathics, we need to talk about lymphatics and the lymphatic system, what they are and their role in your health. Lymph is a clear colorless liquid carrying microscopic particles such as white blood cells, food, protein, and other substances such as water necessary for the cell’s health; also it may contain bacteria , viruses, toxics and other foreign material. This lymph is collected by a system of collecting tubes located near our organs, and muscles that drain the lymph is called the lymphatic system.
