The following is a continuation of part 3.
While the evidence set forth by John Doe in the previous posts is really the best way, and should be sufficient for anyone with a Biblical worldview, for evaluating New Age and quack therapies, Mr. Doe also conducted a practical test, because he knew that some people in the situation involved would not really care about what the general facts and overarching Biblical principles indicated. While this attitude is certainly bad, if you are in a situation where you are trying to help people who are caught up with New Age or quack therapies, you can consider following John Doe’s example below and conducting a practical test of a New Age or quack therapy. The following test approximated a double-blind, placebo controlled test–the kind of testing done by medical science but avoided by New Age and quack advocates, because their practices cannot pass such tests, and, if applied, would drive them out of business. Read on to see what he did. I think you will find it both informative and entertaining.
The analysis above, based on a Biblical
worldview, should be more than sufficient to demonstrate that the practices of
Chiropractor Fox are ones that Christians (and all others) not only have no
right to participate in, but ones that should be warned against for both their
spiritual and physical dangers.
However, as a practical demonstration of how Biblical reasoning and
science based upon it is sound, and the New Age and occult techniques employed
by Chiropractor Fox are manifestly unsound methods of determining what is good
health, this writer made an appointment with Chiropractor Fox, subsequent to
his previous visit with Judy, for the purpose of conducting a scientific test
that would demonstrate in a clear way that his methods are faulty and either useless
or harmful for determining what is healthy. This test was conducted out of love and concern for those to
whom this written document has been given. It certainly did not produce any great benefit to this
writer, as the visit to Fox cost him $55, the materials employed for the
conduct of the experiment were also somewhat costly, and several hours of time
and much gas were used up driving to and from the chiropractic office, since it
is not at all near the writer’s residence. However, if this expenditure of money and time saves
brethren and family in the Lord many hundreds—indeed, thousands, of dollars in
future expense—twenty visits to Chiropractor Fox will cost $1,100, apart from
the cost of his remedies, the spiritual and physical dangers associated with
him, etc.—then the sacrifice involved in conducting the experiment will be
considered well worth it.

The writer had Judy put a variety of items in
an assortment of containers, label the containers and the items, and then give
them to him. The exact contents of
the containers were unknown to this writer at the time Chiropractor Fox did
muscle testing upon him to see if they were beneficial or not. Some of the items in the containers
were a variety of vitamins that, whether or not they were necessary for
consumption, were not going to cause any kind of serious harm, while the other
containers had items that were clearly of great harm for human consumption,
such as rat poison and highly toxic and poisonous mineral spirits from the Home
Depot that were potentially deadly if consumed, and dangerous and harmful if
inhaled or placed upon the skin.[1] If Chiropractor Fox’s muscle testing is
an accurate procedure, he would by no means state that any of these deadly and
toxic items were ones that the writer—or any other human being—should ingest,
place upon his skin, etc. One
error on one substance would demonstrate the unreliability of his methods. 100% accuracy is certainly to be
expected: after all, genuine
science would be able to determine with certainty the nature of the substances
in the bottles every time by laboratory analysis.

When the writer arrived at Chiropractor Fox’s
office to be muscle tested, he was asked what the items were in the
bottles. In perfect truthfulness,
he stated that he did not know, since his wife had packed them the night before
and did not tell him what they were.
Chiropractor Fox proceeded to employ muscle testing to determine the
healthfulness, or lack thereof, of the various substances.

Chiropractor Fox proceeded to employ muscle testing to determine the
healthfulness, or lack thereof, of the various substances.
The various items below were held in one hand
right beneath the neck, while my other arm was stretched out, and Chiropractor
Fox pushed down on my arm in his typical muscle testing methodology to
determine if the items were helpful or not to my body. First, my arm was moved/not moved to determine
if the substance was healthful in general. Then, my arm was moved/not moved to determine if I needed to
take what was in the bottle. If my
arm moved in the proper way, indicating I needed what was in the bottle,
Chiropractor Fox then said the word “one” and moved/did not move my arm, and,
if my arm remained steady, said the word “two” and moved/did not move my arm,
etc. and in this way determined the number of pills I was to take from a
particular bottle that was determined to be good by seeing what my arm—and,
allegedly, my muscles—did after he spoke the number in the English language.

I also was muscle tested to determine that I need to take
calcium and fish oil daily—but not any other vitamins or minerals, as the items
from the above list covered what I need (a conclusion that someone who did not
believe in muscle testing at all could easily come to by simply looking at the
bottles that were being tested and noticing that I had been “tested” to take
two basic multivitamins a day).

needed to come back to see if the needs of my body for vitamins had
changed. It was determined that I
needed to come back in 14 weeks, because after pronouncing the number “14” my
arm moved down.

The
orange juice and tap water were both actually orange juice and tap water. A bottle with grape juice and mineral
spirits mixed together, and of root beer, apple juice, and mineral spirits
mixed together, were also taken along, but these smelled horrible and were
obviously not normal juice, so I did not get them tested, as I could clearly determine
beforehand that they contained toxic mineral spirits and was thus not ignorant
of the contents of the bottle before the muscle testing.

The results of Chiropractor Fox’s muscle
testing was as follows. Highly
toxic mineral spirits, which should not be breathed, are fatal if consumed, and
are very dangerous if on the skin for extended periods of time, were good for
people in general to ingest/apply to the body (#1-2). Ester C vitamin tablets were good for human consumption
(#3), but I personally don’t need them.
Daily Multivitamins are good for human consumption (#4), and I should
take two a day. Normal vitamin C
is good for human consumption, but I personally do not need it (#5). Toxic Silica Gel mixed with Body Wise
Female Advantage is good for human consumption, and I should take one such pill
a day (#6). A little bit of Body
Wise Female Advantage mixed with a lot of rat poison is good for human
consumption, and I should take one such Female Advantage/Rat Poison pill every
day (#7). Cranberry supplements
from Walmart are good for human consumption, but I don’t need them (#8).
Poisonous Epsom Salt is good for human consumption, and I should take one pill
of it every day (#9). Body Wise
Female Advantage is good for me, but I don’t need it (#10)—only when it is
mixed with rat poison (#7) and Silica Gel (#6) is it good for me. However, Body Wise Female Advantage
mixed with cake topping is good for me, and I should take it every day (#11). Finally, I should take two servings of
Body Wise breakfast shake a day (#12), and drink orange juice and tap
water. This is to continue for 14
weeks. Although I am a male, I am
to consume Body Wise Female Advantage, but only if it is mixed with cake
topping, a majority of silica gel, or a majority of rat poison. On its own, it is not something I
need. If I am not dead or having
my stomach pumped in a hospital from eating rat poison, silica gel, and Epsom
salt every day, then I am to come back in 14 weeks to pay another $55 and be
re-tested to see if my bodily needs have changed. Perhaps at that time the highly toxic or deadly mineral
spirits in the essential oil bottles—which were tested as good for human
consumption and complemented upon for their beneficial properties—will be
required, although at this time I do not personally need any. Rat poison is enough for me at this
time.
