ActaLine Expands Muscle Response Testing Class

ActaLine is hosting a training class, on Friday, May 29 and Saturday, May 30, for both practitioners and those who want to learn the Muscle Response Testing techniques to help their family and friends. The MRT class has been expanded to two days, which allows for an in-depth history of Muscle Response Testing, a form of kinesiology, and several different techniques so the student may find the one that suits them best. The practitioner learns to tap into the root causes of clients’ problems for faster and more effective results. They find out what the client actually needs as well as the quantity and duration that is necessary.

Co-founder and certified trainer Laurie Bechler explains, “The students need to learn the material during the class, but the most important facet of the class is actually hands-on practice. Expanding the class gives everyone the opportunity to absorb the material and practice as we go.”

The MRT class is just one class ActaLine offers to the alternative healthcare community.

Location: The Hilton Garden Inn, 500 Promenade Blvd., Bridgewater. For more information, contact Elizabeth Powell at 800-974-5611 ext 304 or email [email protected].

News Briefs
Tick Talk

Spring officially sprung on March 21. We have turned our clocks ahead. We are looking forward to warm winds, sunny skies and the smell of fresh cut grass. The daffodils and tulips have recently bloomed and we are just starting with the yard work that comes with the warmer weather.  Sadly, another season has started ramping up.  Tick season.

•             The best form of protection is prevention. Educating oneself about tick activity and how our behaviors overlap with tick habitats is the first step.

•             According to the NJ DOH, in 2022 Hunterdon County led the state with a Lyme disease incidence rate of 426 cases per 100,000 people. The fact is ticks spend approximately 90% of their lives not on a host but aggressively searching for one, molting to their next stage or over-wintering. This is why a tick remediation program should be implemented on school grounds where NJ DOH deems high risk for tick exposure and subsequent attachment to human hosts.

•             Governor Murphy has signed a bill that mandates tick education in NJ public schools. See this for the details.  Tick education must now be incorporated into K-12 school curriculum. See link:

•             May is a great month to remind the public that tick activity is in full swing. In New Jersey, there are many tickborne diseases that affect residents, including Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Lyme disease, Powassan, and Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiosis.

•             For years, the focus has mainly been about protecting ourselves from Lyme disease. But other tick-borne diseases are on the rise in Central Jersey. An increase of incidence of Babesia and Anaplasma are sidelining people too. These two pathogens are scary because they effect our blood cells. Babesia affects the red blood cells and Anaplasma effects the white blood cells.

•             Ticks can be infected with more than one pathogen. When you contract Lyme it is possible to contract more than just that one disease. This is called a co-infection. It is super important to pay attention to your symptoms. See link.
