A.R.T.™
Autonomic Response Testing
What is Autonomic Response Testing?
Developed by Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt, MD, Ph.D, A.R.T.™ is a comprehensive holistic way of testing the body for 7 factors that cause the nervous system to become stressed and blocked. These stressors and blockages then cause inflammation, illnesses and disease. This holistic testing system created by Dr. Klinghardt has given him world-wide recognition in his treatments of autism, Lyme disease and other chronic illness.
A.R.T.™ is different than just standard applied kinesiology. Utilizing the light coherence and resonance of the different tissues and organs of the body which then provide biofeedback to the brain. Advanced muscle testing with A.R.T.™ not only assesses and treats Lyme, autoimmune issues and chronic conditions using nutrition, homeopathic and herbal remedies, but can also dose accurately so that the patient is receiving the correct solution and dosage for their issue.
Autonomic Response Testing (A.R.T.™) is a biofeedback enhanced physical exam which uses changes in muscle tone as primary indicator. It is a profound approach to discover and treat the root cause or causes of symptoms and dis-ease.
The Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) is the part of the nervous system that we cannot control with our conscious mind. The ANS regulates breathing, heart rate, digestion, immune function, sleep patterns, hormone regulation, blood pressure, blood sugar levels, tissue regeneration, and liver and kidney detoxification.
This amazing biofeedback system helps indicate how an individual's ANS is responding or paralyzed by what are known as the 7 Factors of Disease - 1) Food intolerance, 2) EMF/ Geopathic Stress , 3) Structural stressors, 4) Toxins, 5) Emotional trauma, 6) Dysfunctional scars or nerve ganglia, and 7) Nutritional deficiencies.
​
We also detect and treat medication uptake problems, the most common cause of therapy-resistant chronic illness.

Microbes and metals are NOT everywhere in the body. They create protected domiciles in specific body compartments. In these compartments they secure their survival by creating an, as of yet, poorly understood barrier which blocks the entry of immune cells to this area. By using A.R.T.™ in a specific way, we can find the areas where microbes and toxins are hiding, and the hidden uptake blocks. With a series of well-researched methods, we can open up these areas to uptake our remedies and make the treatment work as A.R.T.™ would have predicted.
​
Dr. Yoshiaki Omura, MD estimated that the dosage of a remedy has to be increased approximately 20-fold to reach these areas that are protected by microbes and metals. With the A.R.T.™ based drug uptake enhancement method, we can achieve wonderful results, using minimal dosages of remedies. (Omura, Y. 1997. Workshop Bi-Digital O-Ring Test.)
"Patients need care on all levels of their existence, people really can recover from their chronic illness but have to shift their way of being in the world on a deep level."

What is the benefit of A.R.T.™?
Many patients have exhausted their search for treatment of chronic diseases through western allopathic medicine, functional medicine, and other alternative treatments, with their only lifeline being surgery or the usage of pharmaceutical drugs, which do not fix the underlying issue, only masking symptoms of the condition. This is especially true in the case of Lyme, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.
For some, pharmaceutical drugs are necessary, but for the majority of chronic illnesses presented today, there are many viable alternative treatment options. Multiple doctor visits with no real solutions are becoming a burden for many Americans.
​
A.R.T.™ looks at the body holistically, utilizing resonance of the body within it's surroundings, diagnosing the body for Lyme, viruses, parasites, neurological pollutants, geo stressors, chemical toxicity, dental carries, hidden infections and other factors that contribute to known and unknown ill health.
A.R.T.™ also balances the autonomic nervous system which allows the body to be put into a state of healing and then incorporating natural alternatives such as herbal, nutritional or homeopathic remedies that can give long-term relief to the pathway of healing.
Where can I get an A.R.T.™ treatment?
Dr. Kathleen Blazek has completed A.R.T.™ APN (Autonomic PsychoNeurology) training through the Klinghardt Institute with intermediate and advanced hands-on training by practitioner trainers trained through the Klinghardt Institute.
Each treatment is approximately 1 -2 hours in length (some may be more, some less). A detailed medical history and medication list will be required. Your body will then be scanned for different issues or blockages. Organs, brain, matrix, cellular and intracellular. This is done with advance muscular testing, more advanced than applied kinesiology.
The body is put into open regulation (balance), addressing the yin and yang states of the body and brain, putting the body in a state of resonance. Once the body is in a state of open regulation (balance) we can test for viruses, pathogens, allergens, metal toxicity and other causes of illness, including energetic and emotional issues causing physical problems.
This open state also allows us to test for nutritional, herbal and homeopathic remedies that are suitable to the body and to the issue, and treat with a dose that appropriate for healing.
​
In the decades that A.R.T.™ has been used, hundreds of thousands of individuals have found a path to healing. Through training with the Klinghardt Institute, Dr. Blazek is able to bring this amazing medicine to Colorado Springs and the surrounding areas.
A note from Dr. Klinghardt...
I developed this systematic model of healing in the 1980s and have been teaching it to practitioners all over the world since then. Many doctors and healers have been able to understand their own work better and have been able to make better choices for their patients and their own education based on this understanding. This model has already entered the heart and consensus reality of integrative medicine worldwide.
In recent years we have observed a worrisome overemphasis on the value of nutritional supplements. Few people have gotten well by taking supplements alone.
​
Dietary supplements have disappointed! Much lip-service is given to energetic and psychological care. However, very few practitioners offer practical solutions as a natural and regular part of their consultation or treatment protocol. Please consider these ideas below.

Our patients need care on all levels of their existence. It works. People really can recover from their chronic illness. But patients have to shift their way of being in the world on a deep level.

For every vitamin there will be a better one tomorrow. Every deep conflict that is resolved, is resolved for good. Learning is forever. Vitamins are not.

We exist in different dimensions – simultaneously. The physical body exists within a sphere of invisible etheric bodies that each have their own anatomy and physiology. There is an alive and profound interaction between the different levels. When we die, the physical body stays behind – it is cast off. There seems to be a process after death in which also the emotional body (second level) and later the mental body are cast off. The 4th and 5th body survive. Every ancient culture knows this system and has described it in different terms. This heal- ing system has evolved from interpreting the yoga sutras of Patanjali (which are believed to be over 10,000 years old) and from trying to express this ancient knowledge with contemporary language. Applying this knowledge in a practical way is taught by myself and the Institute of Neurobiology in Bellevue, Washington.
