Anyone tried Kinesoilogy with their dog?

This is very interesting, Stephanie. Thanks for all the trouble of sharing the instructions and videos. I like the way you think! It was fun to watch the different scenarios.

The instructions about how to tell what they like makes sense when I relate it to how Buddy reacts to food and other items. We just offered him Duck yesterday. He'd never had it before and he had a "keen interest" and clearly considered it something he needed!

It was interesting to see Roddy with the various items. He looked a little surprised with the water - at least to me - kinda like "Whassup with that?" The cooking oil is used in a dog food recipe of Dr. Pitcairn's because it has essential fatty acids (vitamin F) so maybe that's why he like it?

You're smart to realize that you make a difference in their reaction to the therapy. There have been numerous studies on the effectiveness of placebos with people based on what the doctor said when he gave it to them. If he/she thought it was going to help, might help, etc. The doctor may or may not even know it is a placebo, if it's a double blind test. Over and over, the doctor's belief effected the effectiveness of the placebo. There's really no reason that doesn't also apply to non-placebo medications as well, and opens up the whole discussion on energy based medicine and how there are many things we can't quantize or isolate, but yet have very definite and predictable influence on our health and well being. Too many things are discounted by "modern medicine" because they don't fit into their paradigm and way of testing. Chiropractic and acupuncture are two examples of treatment modalities that have suffered much ridicule in the past - and still do in some circles, despite their effectiveness.

The pictures show a lot of improvement in the rash. That's really encouraging to see. And without the side effects that cortisone type ointments would have.

Very cool posting - thanks for sharing!

With the oils Doreen, the ones I listed above I can give him up to a quarter of a bottle a day to lick up. The peppermint/nettle salve is for his rash and that one is topical. The oils are to help him with his other problems - the practitioner said when she did the hair testing it showed up quite clearly that he had digestive issues and alot of emotional stress/drama, so these oils are the best ones to help him with this.

I have to check him everyday with these oils as the concept is based on the premise that he knows which ones he needs and which he doesn't. Unfortunately, late yesterday and today he has bad diarrhoea so I have to fast him completley. I will start again with it tomorrow - if he is ok then. Poor boy, we try and sort one thing out and then something else happens to him.

His rash seems so much better, seems like the salve is working. I really enjoyed comparing their reactions, I thought Jakey was funny. Poor Roddy, it's like one step forwards and two steps back, hope he feels better soon. Do keep us updated on his progress and how he goes with the oils.
