Mind/Body Research

In 1988, Scott Walker, D.C., founded Neuro Emotional Technique (NET). NET is defined as a methodology of finding and removing neurological aberrations, which he called Neuro Emotional Complexes (NECs), in the human organism. Dr. Walker used the muscle test as a basis for locating and correcting NECs via various modes of entry. The method most relative to the ONE Foundation’s research is the semantic model for evaluating the physiological response to emotional congruency, or emotional reality.

Prior to the establishment of The ONE Research Foundation in May 1993, the major support for this procedure was anecdotal. Dan Monti, M.D., and his colleagues at Jefferson Medial College in Philadelphia conducted the first NET landmark study. They employed the Power Track II Dynamometer with Tracker software to measure total force (examiner pressure plus subject resistance) and time to muscle give-way, thus diminishing the chance for variance via human error. In the last 18 years, ONE has proudly funded more than 20 studies published in peer-reviewed journals. All of the studies were funded by generous donations from the members of ONE.

The ONE Research Foundation would like to acknowledge the contributions of so many great scholars of the past. In particular, Alfred Korzybski, who coined the phrase “semantic reaction” to denote the physiological response of the organism to symbols and words, which he elicited using the skin and galvanometer; and to George Goodheart, D.C., who in 1964 used the manual muscle test as a diagnostic tool to evaluate the integrity of the nervous system and organ function, which led to the development of Applied Kinesiology.
