Its low glycemic. But first see if you can get someone to muscle test you on it. I thought it was good for my daughter when she was diagnosed with cancer, but it wasnt. Everything is not good for everyone but its definately a much better choice than sugar, splenda, or aspartame. Usually chiropractors do muscle testing. Just bring in the stevia when you go.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 The way you describe muscle testing here was even rejected by Dr. Goodheart, the founder of Applied Kinesiology (diagnostic muscle testing beyond the mainstream neuro/orthopedic concept). Goodheart's original description for nutritional muscle testing involved the patient tasting the substance by holding it in the mouth. He maintained that an immediate neurological circuit was activated through taste receptors which weakened a previously strong muscle briefly. This would be akin to a startle reflex or other protective reflexes in the body. Goodheart spoke out against testing muscle strength while holding something in the hand. His version makes some sense. Think of the " yuchhh! " response one gets when tasting something corrupt. It makes some sense that nature may wire us this way. I'm a chiropractor myself and knew Goodheart. He was my wife's chiropractor when she was young. He was largely responsible for her becoming a chiropractor herself. As with most innovative discoveries, disciples of the founder often try to make things their own. They " improve " the notion. In this case a lot of fantastic (as in " fantasy " ) ideas have become a part of a fairly useful principle. Applied Kinesiology is not taught at most scientifically based chiropractic colleges. Many chiropractors pick up some of these concepts through entrepeneurial grapevines. I was present when one of the basic tenets of A.K. was tested. This was essentially that a practitioner could tell whether an ileosecal valve was in an open or closed state by muscle testing. Patients were muscle tested and immediately x-rayed. The results were the same as they would be by pure chance. The practitioner picked the right state 50% of the time. My belief is that sometimes the practitioner does get the right answer. Not because the technique is physiologically sound, but because the practitioner is experienced and intuitive. I don't use any version of A.K. in my practice. (I guess I think I'm experienced and relatively intuitive.)

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 It is difficult to get unwhitened. Does it really matter? Sure, you miss out on some minerals etc, but as sweeteners go it is the best avaialable (though honey is as good, I admit). > > Yes Sharon, Stevia is one of the best if natural and not whitened.some people will use also honey from wild flowers.. > > You wrote : > > Can someone let me know if Stevia Sweetner is a good sugar replacement?

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Do you hold your left arm out to the side or in front of you ? Do you know if this works for foods that your body doesn't like? ~Amber -- Re: [ ] Re: Cancer and Sugar You hold the product in one hand close to your chest and someone pushes your other arm downward near the wrist area. If it goes down easy without effort then you shouldnt take that product. If it stays strong in an extended position then its fine. Its not 100% accurate, but gives an idea. It worked with my daughter when the chiro diagnosed her with candida. Agave nectar is also a good alternative to sugar. Its also natural and low glycemic. How do you perform muscle testing? ~Amber ------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Hi , I thought that all cancers' favorite food is sugar, and that all cancer cells have about 16 times more insulin receptors built on them as well, which supposedly makes this especially true. Do you have some information about different kinds of cancer not responding this way? Or perhaps that different kinds, stages and such simply are more or less resistant to being killed off quickly...or slowly? Just wondering. As always, thanks for your expertise and sharings.
