Q-Link® Research

Summary of Clinician Study of the Therapeutic Effect of the QLink® Pendant

Introduction

Acupuncture energy imbalances were monitored in a study with 12 patients undergoing Applied Kinesiology treatment by Dr. Robert Blaich, DC. Changes in symptomatic response were investigated when wearing the QLink as a method of treatment.

Materials and Methods

Applied Kinesiology (AK) muscle testing allows the practitioner to identify changes in muscle facilitation-inhibition patterns due to exposure to environmental stress. The QLink has been observed to neutralize or negate a muscle weakness pattern where the weakness was induced by an environmental stressor. Dr Blaich asserts it can be concluded that a device that abolishes an AK indicator of muscle weakness should have a positive effect on a patient’s symptoms, health, and well being.

Based upon the consistent, significant changes in particular patterns of muscle weakness observed in patients, Dr Blaich conducted a study to determine whether wearing the QLink pendant over a period of 3 to 6 months has an effect in improving the patient’s health or particular symptoms aside from, or in addition to, obvious strengthening of weak muscles. 12 patients were pre-screened and selected using the following criteria:

1. Exhibiting an acupuncture imbalance through AK
2. The imbalance was abolished by the QLink, and
3. Under prior care for a period of 3 months.

Patients wore the QLink daily, removing them during Applied Kinesiology (AK) testing and treatment. Patients were monitored for 3 to 6 months to determine if the acupuncture imbalance recurred and if the patient’s specific symptoms and overall health was affected by wearing the QLink.

Baseline data were established for each patient. Changes in the rate of progress and response to treatment were monitored and progress (or regression) was rated into the four categories.

Category 1: Marked improvement in a long term symptom and normalization of a previous chronically weak muscle.
Category 2: Improvement in at least one specific symptom that had not fully responded to previous treatment.
Category 3: No observable change in symptom or other progress.
Category 4: Some exacerbation or worsening of existing symptoms or some new symptom outside of the patient’s prior pattern.

Results

AK Evaluation of Acupuncture Imbalances
Patients were re-evaluated for pulse point therapy localization (TL) on follow-up visits. Of the 12 patients, all 12 exhibited no acupuncture pulse point TL on followup visits for 3 months. Ten of the 12 have not exhibited any acupuncture imbalance through pulse point evaluation in 3 to 6 months of wearing the QLink. Two of the 12 eventually exhibited some acupuncture imbalance in an area other than originally identified. In these cases, the imbalance occurred after 4 1/2 months and 6 months into the treatment.

Change in Symptoms Attributed to the QLink
The table below describes the changes seen in the rate of progress of patient symptoms.

Category 1	3 Patients	Marked improvement in a long term symptom
Category 2	6 Patients	Improvement in at least one specific symptom
Category 3	3 Patients	No observable change in symptom
Category 4	0 Patients	Some exacerbation or worsening of existing symptom

Conclusion

Dr Blaich concluded that the QLink pendant enhances the healing process. Based upon AK testing, it consistently helped to improve the balance of acupuncture energy in all 12 patients.

All 12 originally exhibited an indicator of AK acupuncture energy imbalance that was negated when wearing the QLink pendant. All exhibited no recurrence of their original acupuncture imbalance or further imbalances in over 3 months.

Data outside this study indicates that there is greater than 95% probability of the QLink pendant negating an AK indicator of an acupuncture imbalance and abolishing a muscle weakness induced by the presence of electromagnetic fields, for example, a patient sitting at a computer, or in proximity to a television or microwave, or receiving a cellular phone transmission.

This study also reveals a 75% probability of an improvement in a specific symptom for the patient, a 25% probability of no specific change in symptoms and very little likelihood of a negative response particularly if the patient is monitored and treated by an AK physician.
