Meridian Autonomic Testing (M.A.T.)
A Path to Understanding of Nutritional Needs
Meridian Autonomic Testing or M.A.T. is a system developed by Frank and Matt Cuccolo, a father and son chiropractic team working out of CT who have studied muscle-testing systems, Chinese Medicine, Neurology and Bio-Chemistry for 30+ years.
There are a number of Applied Kinesiology (AK) or muscle-testing systems, many that borrow from the other and this is one of them, but it is an elegant and simple system that allows for the Practitioner to get straight-forward answers on the nutritional needs of the Patient in front of them.
In my Practice, I am attracted to results-driven systems and this is one of them. We use Standard Process Nutritional Supplements in our Practice (among other top-rated supplement companies) mainly because they use a proprietary whole foods extraction system which means you are getting complete nutrition, not fractionated supplements. They have their own organic farm where they grow everything they need (save a few outsourced organic products)!
The process of M.A.T. is simple. The Patient sits or stands in front of the Practitioner and once a muscle-lock is achieved, the Patient is tested for polarity and neurological switching, which simply means that they are testable. The Practitioner proceeds to test a series of points based on acupuncture channels and neuro-physiology that relate to the organ system. When there is a fault in the muscle to a particular organ or gland, related nutrition and it’s energy (resonant frequency) are brought into the Patient’s field and tested. If the muscle is able to lock, that nutrition is added to the protocol.
