A member asked:
How can a doctor do muscle testing to know if i am allergic to something?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
She can't: If by muscle testing, you mean kinesiology or testing grip strength or bicep strength while holding a vial of a substance, then no, this is not a valid way to test for allergies.
