What is Autonomic Response Testing? A.R.T
Autonomic Response Testing (A.R.T.) was developed by Dr Dietrich Klinghardt, it is a highly sensitive form of testing, that can detect and correct problems of the autonomic nervous system. This method of testing assesses the coherence of light emissions of organs, and structures of the body. It identifies and offers solutions to the 7 most common factors that interfere with the healthy functioning of the nervous system.
​​​The Autonomic Nervous system (ANS) controls functions in those parts of our body that we are not conscious of such as breathing, heart rate, digestion, immune function, sleep patterns and hormone regulation. It is 'The Master Regulator of the Body', it is important to balance & support the ANS so that it can perform it's functions.
​​
When the body is under stress the ANS will lose control over it's programs and be unable to respond, we call this state 'Blocked Regulation'​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​
A.R.T. is based on scientific principles and is now a part of “evidence-based medicine” - "This type of testing allows us to use the body as a bio-feedback measuring device." Klinghardt
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
Why is Blocked Regulation important?
​Anything that interferes with the ANS will prevent the body from communicating effectively.
​​​​​​​​The purpose of A.R.T. is to identify imbalances or dysfunctions that may be contributing to various health issues. We are commonly affected by a combination of stressors this will contribute towards overloading the system and placing the body into Blocked Regulation, these include -environmental toxins, pathogens (bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi), allergies (including undiagnosed food allergies), hormonal imbalances, structural imbalances of the musculoskeletal system, scars and dental issues. Symptoms will persist until the stressor/s has been removed
Mental and emotional disturbances will also impact the system, putting the ANS into a state of Blocked Regulation the underlying causes of symptoms such as irritability, anxiety and depression can also be addressed using ART.​
​​
In A.R.T. there are 7 main factors that contribute towards illness, they are each considered to be equally important. ART is able to assess these 7 common factors of stress by using -
The 5 Levels of Healing model - The Mind, Body, Soul connection​​​​​​​​
​
​​​According to Dr Klinghardts findings - The 7 factors of stress:
​
​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​​​
​
1. The psyche: (unresolved mental conflicts and post-traumatic stress disorders) 2. Energetic interference fields and blockages: (injuries, scars, teeth and mouth, piercings, tattoos, glasses, blockages} 3. Allergies and intolerances: (allergies to food (gluten, casein, etc.), house dust, pollen, bed feathers) 4. Biophysical stress: EMR and Geopathic stress (stress caused by electromagnetic fields – disturbed sleep or workplace, or sitting in a car) 5. Toxins and environmental pollution: (heavy metals, glyphosate, solvents, drug residues, hair dyes, petrochemicals, wood preservatives, food contamination, biotoxins (toxins from bacteria, viruses, fungi) 6. Nutrient deficiencies: (proteins, vitamins, enzymes) 7. Structural problems: blockages in the musculoskeletal system and dental area (occlusion, vertebral and pelvic displacements, fascia shortening, postural defects)
A. R. T Method of testing -
Autonomic Response Testing is a hands on method that uses the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) to gain information as to what is going on in the body. ​
A.R.T uses Muscle Testing to measure changes in the ANS, additional tools such as Polarised Light Filters and Signal Enhancers, which amplify the light field of the body (Biofield), are used to identify those stressors which are preventing your body's ability to regulate optimally. Using this method of testing will also provide information on how best to address it.
​
An assistant is often used to act as an intermediary during the testing, this provides greater accuracy by preventing any transference between practitioner and client. Having a third person present during the A.R.T. session also provides a more comfortable and relaxing experience for the client.

Why is A.R.T such a Beneficial Approach:​
-
A Holistic Approach: ​Assessing the 5 Levels of Healing is an approach that identifies the source of physical, mental, and emotional disorders
-
Unique testing abilities: ART uses tools such as polarised light filters and signal enhancers (amplifies the light field (Biofield of the body) these unique tools can identify if the Autonomic Nervous System is being overwhelmed by stress and in a state of - Blocked regulation
-
Locates Key Stressors: Identifies the Key stressors in order of priority to establish which stressors the body needs to deal with first. Establishing the order of treatment is important, guided by the ANS it prevents the nervous system from being overwhelmed and responds to the bodies specific needs at that time.
-
Whole Body Testing: Tests the whole body for the presence of heavy metals, toxins and infections and is able to determine which organs and body systems are out of balance and is stressing the body
-
Identifies Emotional Stressors: Identifies those unresolved and un-healed emotions from the present that we recognise that we are struggling with, together with those emotions from past experiences which we are usually unconscious off, yet they are having a direct impact on our health
-
​​​Natural Cost effective solutions: Having identified what is responsible for putting the the body into a stressed state, further testing can establish the best solutions to address the issues - Solutions/Supporting Remedies
-
A more cost effective and accurate way of taking supplements: Ensures that you only take the supplements that your body needs at that particularly time together together with the required beneficial dosage.
-
Reassurance: Supplements can also put the body into state of Blocked Regulation, this is avoided using A.R.T.
​
​
-
Food Allergy Testing: The testing process is able to determine foods which are considered to be putting the body into a stressed state (primary/secondary allergies), it is also uniquely able to identify those foods which are beneficial and healing to the body
-
Blood Tests & A.R.T: Functional Blood tests do not test the Autonomic Nervous System and may not accurately identify the priority issue that needs to be dealt with first. A.R.T is therefore a cost effective way obtaining information about yourself, it will also tell us if additional functional testing is required
A.R.T Consultation - Working together
What to expect?
During the initial consultation we will discuss your health and lifestyle, this will enable us to find the best way to work together to achieve your health goals. The ART testing process will then provide us with information on the key stressors that are affecting the regulation of your autonomic nervous system and preventing it from functioning optimally

​
Energetic Imbalances:
-

-
Geopathic Stress - Weakens the immune system - Are you sleeping, working or living in a safe place?
-
Interference fields from scars & old injuries
​
Emotional & Psychological:
-
​Beliefs - Are your beliefs sabotaging you and preventing you from being well?
-
Applied Psycho Neurobiology (A.P.N): Healing the impact of an emotionally difficult event that is being held in the body​ unconsciously and contributing to a decline in a persons health
​
Structural:
-
​By testing areas of the musculoskeletal system that are causing on-going pain and discomfort A.R.T is able to identify if there are any other related causes, common symptoms include; pain, weakness, stiffness, joint pain, decreased range of motion, fatigue, muscle weakness, numbness or tingling sensation
​
-
Dental Issues & Jaw Assessment (TMJ - Temporal Mandibular Joint) ​
​​​​​​​​
​Solutions/Supporting Remedies:
​
Having identified what is causing blocked regulation and by focussing on the priority issues, we are then able to test your body to find which solution will be most beneficial -
​
-
Herbal remedies
-
