Ask Dr. Barre

[Matthew]

Good morning @barre Rise and Shine

Listening to your latest and most recent podcasts, CK and the work of Alan Beardall has been referenced several times. I am very familiar with his work and the Bio Computer. Here in SLC I completed my post doctorate fellowship and training with Dr. Craig Buhler. He has “the original manuscripts” of beardall. I have seen the hand modes, arm positions (virtruvian man); we referenced his manuals for a number of cases that were more complex. Amazing results.

Dr. Buhler has taken a sports and human performance approach to his practice, calling it AMIT. Advanced Muscle Integration Technique. I am curious how you practiced and how beardall taught you? I am very interested in hands on training that you and @alfawarrior talk about on the podcast. If beardall were still around teaching seminars, I believe his work would have evolved into something different than what AMIT is today. I believe a deeper and better understanding of the Bio Computer and how it functions will help more people discover health, wholeness, and longevity.

Grateful for all you do. Your message and stories resonate deeply. Thank you for being a light that shines in darkness. God bless

Hi Matthew

I spent much time in Lake Oswego, Oregon with Dr. Beardall, after a good number of years training with George Goodheart during the pioneering years of Applied Kinesiology. Some of us evolved into the Biocomputer model of “opening treatment files” with Dr. Beardall, while incorporating much of the AK work, but with much greater specificity. CK performed MM tests on every muscle division as opposed to AK mm testing on more general mm groups. If Allan were still at it today his work would definitely not resemble any current systems! Much of his work did not reach his professional seminars, and was only preserved by some of us working behind the scenes. I later worked with the late Rene Espy in further developing this work after Allan’s passing. My work was a synthesis of all of the above, but my certifications/training in Emergency Medicine, Naturopathy, Chiropractic, Oriental medicine, Osteopathy & German Bioterrain medicine allowed a greater versatility beyond most of the AK & CK practitioners who were exclusively Chiropractors. I still plan to develop some public offerings of some of the work I created, but my days are very full at the moment.

This is indeed a fascinating topic.. I’ve been seeing an AK for over a year, and it’s astonishing to me what I experience in that, and what he is able to find.. I wonder how much he knows of Beardall and CK.. I don’t know enough to bring it up with him at this point, but perhaps an inquiry into the human computer with him, I’m sure he’d know what I’m talking about (though he doesn’t know what GNM is, so who knows).. It’s astonishing, even with just AK, what he can “find” in my field and my body — literally, he can find very specific memories coursing through my system and able to bring them out and into awareness (often, stuff I was already starting to work through and bring to the surface).. but to not go on about it..

I’m so astonished by just AK, and in addition to my foray into and success with homeopathy, I’m sure these things are two of the most important keys available to us.. I always knew “energy work” was the most essential, but it’s not till you experience it and put it into perspective..

Oh, Barre, I’m in Portland, and had heard of Beardall in passing, but didn’t know he had been in Lake Oswego.. There’s not too many AK’s in the area, believe it or not.. Right now, I can think of only 5, and they all say “go to” the AK I see, as he’s the most experienced and competent it would seem, and does trainings and classes.. One said, “he’s the one we all learn from”.. but still, wondering what he knows of these other things..

I’ve considered studying AK myself, even if by the armchair.. I need more time.. 🙂
