Autonomic Response Testing (ART) is a science-based system of muscle testing developed by Dietrich Klinghardt, MD, PhD that is different than other forms of muscle testing in that it uses the latest findings of quantum and biophotonic physics to aid in the assessment of the body. Tools such as a polarization filter and signal enhancers are used to get stronger, clearer feedback from the body. Dr. Klinghardt found in his studies that the autonomic nervous system controls every mechanism of action in the body. This type of muscle testing allows for a much deeper level of testing not available to traditional kinesiologists. At Natural Health Innovations, we use Autonomic Response Testing as a main part of our nutritional assessment.

Dr. Klinghardt has pioneered many detoxification strategies and is considered one of the world's leading authorities in this rapidly advancing field. He is a world leader in the areas of psychoneurobiology, environmental toxicity, chronic infection, and family systems influences, and how these lead to chronic illness. He was elected Physician Of The Year 2007 by the International College of Integrative Medicine for his deep understanding of chronic disease. Dr Klinghardt has been a pioneer in helping those battling toxicity issues for more than 30 years and has devised many protocols designed to assist in their elimination using both natural and pharmaceutical chelation agents.
