SELF-ANALYSIS & TREATMENT

LEAN TESTING

by Janis M.Betz, RN, BSN

 

Lean Testing is a very valuable tool to assist you in making the decisions necessary to treat yourself, which is your constitutional right.  This test helps you to determine what foods, herbs, vitamins, and products are good for you, if you need them, and how much of them you need.  It can also help you detect your deficiencies, under or over functioning organs, glands, and tissues, joint displacements, and food intolerances.

 

Lean Testing works the same way as Muscle Resistance Testing.  To understand how the Lean Test and muscle test work, you need to understand that your body is very electrical.  Your nervous system transmits electrical impulses throughout your body.  Your brain is a part of your nervous system, which sends and receives these electrical impulses.  Specifically, there are 8 nerves from your spinal column (T5-12) that come together at the front of your lower chest area, which is called the Celiac Ganglion or plexus.  This area contains a very dense concentration of nerve fibers, which has a constant flow of “electrical” nerve impulses to and from your brain. From this ganglion, nerves disperse to your abdominal organs and tissues.  This area is very sensitive to the electron energy being emitted by every substance all around you.

 

Your “electrical” nervous system will respond to the electron energy being emitted by a food or product when it is held up to your nerve ganglion/plexus in your lower chest area.  To understand electron energy, you need to know that everything on earth and in the universe has its own specific molecular/electron configuration.  Energy is being produced when electrons move around the nucleus of a molecule in a substance (i.e. food, herb, chemical, clothing, etc.).  This energy can be positive or negative, and it causes a weakness or strength in your body.  It will also cause sickness or wellness.

 

The Lean Test works when you ask a question about a food or product you are holding or you ask a question about what is happening in your body, and your nervous system will respond by causing you to lean back for no or lean forward for yes.  Your nervous system can do this because your brain knows every thing that is happening in side your body.  It knows your nutritional deficiencies and your body weaknesses.

 

I learned of the Lean Test in 1998 when I was reading a book called “Stop Your Tinnitus” by Phyllis Avery.  This was a fairly technical book about ringing in the ear.  Halfway through the book, the author was talking about food allergies as a possible cause and proceeded to describe in one paragraph how you could find out if a food may be causing your ears to ring.  Though the years, I found that not every one could do the Lean Test.  I’ve been able to identify and correct these interferences.  To do the Lean Test do the following:

 

1.       Stand with your feet neutral (shoulder width apart) and your body weight evenly distributed over your legs.

2.       Establish which way is “YES” by asking the question “Which way is YES?”  You will get a lean back or forward.  “YES” should be forward.  If you leaned backward, then your Central Nervous System and/or Energy System are out of balance, and you are “poled backward.”  To correct you Central Nervous System and Energy System balance follow steps 4 and 5 under the topic on Lean Testing Interferences.

3.       If you get no lean at all, then review and eliminate any interference that may be a cause.  See the list of Lean Testing Interferences.

4.       Hold the food/product in front of you.  Ask yourself, “Is this ______ beneficial/good for me?”  Your nervous system will draw you forward for yes or backward for no.  Lack of movement means neutral.  If you get a sideways lean or bobbing, ask the question differently or more specifically.

 

5.       You can use the Lean Test to find out if you need a supplement and how much you need.  Hold the supplement in front of you and ask, “Do I need this ______?”  If your nervous system leans you forward, then you can ask more specific questions as to the amount you may need, such as “Do I need 1 tablet a day?”  You would continue to ask various amounts until you get a lean backward.  At this point, you would take the amount that your nervous system last leaned forward for.  When your Autonomic Nervous System is out of balance, your dose will be high.

6.       You can use the Lean Test to try to figure out what is going on in your body.  If you are having pain or a problem in a part of your body, ask, “I am having pain/problem in my __________ (location), Why?”  “Is it __________?”  Keep asking questions until you get a forward “YES” lean.  Then you can use the Lean Test to figure out how to correct the pain or problems, i.e. change in diet, take a supplement, etc.  For example, “I have pain/discomfort between my shoulder blades, Why?”  Is it my stomach?  Is it my spine? Is it my gallbladder? Etc….  When you identify what the problem is then Lean Test the remedy.  If you leaned yes for gallbladder, ask “Should I do a Liver/Gallbladder Flush?”  “Should I take Beta TCP?” Etc….  The best Anatomy and Physiology book that is easy to read and understand is a DK book called HUMAN BODY.  The ISBN # is 0-7894-7988-5.  You can use this book to help you identify your problem or pain.

 

Lean Testing Interferences

I have discovered that the following eight issues may interfere with the Lean Test results:  These interferences need to be rectified.

 

1) Negative, skeptical attitude.  Doubt

2) Wearing synthetic clothing, which will weaken you and interfere with your nervous system’s function and response.  Remove your shoes and any synthetic fiber clothing, i.e. polyester, etc.

3) Energy depletion or lack of strength due to physical illness or nutritional deficiency.  Taking the supplement Emer’gen C will restore your energy and strength.

4) Energy System imbalance.  You have energy pathways that may be congested or shut down, which may skew the Lean Test.  You will need to see a practitioner who knows how to do NervEnergy Balancingä to correct the Energy System imbalance.

5) Central Nervous System imbalance.  Ask which way is “yes”.  If you get a backward lean, your Central Nervous System is out of balance, which is caused by battery operated devices next to your body, i.e. watch, cell phone, etc., or having poor quality metal next to your body, i.e. glasses, earrings, and jewelry.  Remove these items.  Body piercing is a major interference and should never be worn.  Poor posture and poor back alignment are interferences.  Stand straight with your buttocks pulled in and shoulders pulled back.

6) Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) imbalance.  Ask if your Autonomic Nervous System is balanced.  If you get a “no” lean backward, then balance it, i.e. take N-Acetyl Cysteine, and put Vit. E oil on scars.  You may need to see an experienced practitioner who knows how to do System Balancing and Analysis (SBA) or Autonomic Resistance Testing (ART) to correct your ANS imbalance.

7) Powerful electrical-magnetic fields (EMF) near you in your environment, i.e. power lines, computers, operating appliances, etc. Lean Test if EMFs are interfering with your testing.

8) Magnetic disturbances underground.  You may be able to detect underground magnetic disturbances by standing and asking if there is a magnetic disturbance under you.  If lean yes, take a big step backward or forward and ask again.  If lean yes again, take a big step to either side.  You do not want to test or sleep in this area.  If this does not work for you and there are no other interferences and you feel your Lean Test is skewed, and then move to another location and try the Lean Test again.

 

Finger Resistance Test

There are several finger resistance tests that you can do.  Strength = YES and weakness = NO.

Finger Pull Test:

1.       Make an “OK” sign with your fingers (index finger and thumb meet together to make a ring.  Now loop the two “OK” signs together like when you make a paper ring garland for the Christmas tree.  The index finger and thumb meet within the space of the other index finger and thumb ring.

2.       Try to pull your fingers apart to break through the bond of the ringed fingers.  You should have a lock with equal strength and not break through.  You can also just use the hooked index finger of you dominant hand to try to break through and separate the fingers of your non-dominant hand.

3.       Designate which hand will weaken, which is usually the non-dominant hand.  Ask the question “What is NO?”  You should be able to break through the bond of the non-dominant hand finger ring.  Don’t squeeze your fingers too tight.  You just want to break through a locked finger ring.  Now ask, “What is YES?”  You should not be able to break the finger ring bond.

 

Finger/Nail Rub Test:

Rub your thumb over your index finger and middle finger like you’re making a sign for money or rub your index finger over your middle finger’s nail.  Smooth means “YES” and tackiness means “NO.”  Ask the questions and feel the response.

 

You can use the finger tests in place of or in conjunction with the Lean Test.
