Autonomic Response Testing (ART) / IWG Style /
Autonomic Response Testing (ART) is a biofeedback technique developed by Dietrich Klinghardt, MD, PhD. Dr. Nick Carruther of IWG has evolved the technique to be more specific and integrative
The Purpose
IRT is a comprehensive diagnostic system that dictates what is needed for the body to start to heal.
The Science
-
- The stress response that is used in IRT is sensed, organized and expressed by the DNA and the bio-field of the entire person. All in all, it will find STRESS on the DNA which includes the autonomic nervous system, central nervous system, the sympathetic nervous system, the parasympathetic nervous system, and the enteric nervous system (gut). The stressors that are evaluated include infections, toxins, foods, hormones, and medications.
- This understanding has emerged amongst the great physicists of the last century and was first described at Columbia University. Later physicists like Ulrich Warnke, PhD and Fritz-Albert Popp, PhD in Germany have greatly contributed to this field.

The Use at IWG
It used with all programs at IWG to scientifically decipher the best treatment protocol. IRT provides the ability to test for the best supplement protocol for the individual. It also has the ability to guide the best therapeutic treatment protocol for the person such as lymph drainage modalities, emotional work, energy work, detox therapies, etc. It allows for specificity and positive results within a short amount of time.
Success Stories from around the world

It’s really nice to know that when I’m coming in, no matter how I feel, I’m going to walk out feeling much better. You guys are not just my doctors, you’re like family and friends.

I was thrilled to be able to get my 8 year old son well without the use of antibiotics. This past winter when Ryan got the worst cough and cold he has ever experienced and a pediatrician wanted him to take ten days of medication for an ear infection I knew it was time to try what so many others have told me about. Chiropractic care isn’t just for the guy with a bad back. It’s about our whole body! Dr. Klim had wonderful suggestions for supporting Ryan’s immune system and was so patient and gentle explaining each adjustment to myself and son along the way. Ryan still talks about how much he loved Dr. Klim so much so his little brother has been hoping to get sick so he can go too!
