Draft:Autonomic Response Testing

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: Not entirely sure if this still reads as AI, so I am not declining it on that basis, potentially someone with a better eye for it could do so. However, this still reads like an argumentative essay of some sort, therefore fails WP:NOTESSAY. I think that this article likely needs a complete and fundamental rewrite.

Autonomic Response Testing (A.R.T.) is an alternative diagnostic method used by some health practitioners within complementary and integrative medicine practices.[1] It is a form of muscle testing derived from applied kinesiology and other related techniques.[2][3][4][1][5]

Autonomic Response Testing (A.R.T.) was developed in the late 20th century by Dr Dietrich Klinghardt, MD, PhD in collaboration with chiropractor Louisa Williams M.S., D.C., N.D.[6] and was later further developed by Daniela Deiosso MSc.[7] It incorporates elements of applied Kinesiology and Yoshiaki Omura’s Bi-Digital O-ring test.[8][9]

In conventional medicine autonomic function testing includes procedures such as tilt-table testing and autonomic reflex tests. These are unrelated to Autonomic Response Testing (A.R.T.).[10]
