THE COCA PULSE TEST
by Lynn Hinderliter CN, LDN
Dr. Arthur F. Coca, a renowned physician, developed the Coca Pulse Test for allergy elimination over 40 years ago. It is a simple yet extremely effective and inexpensive way to identify foods or substances to which a person may be allergic, sensitive or intolerant. Pulse test
Although the Coca test is simple, it requires the complete co-operation of the person involved. Foods to which you are intolerant are stressful to your organism and will reveal themselves by speeding up your pulse. Laboratory tests which are actually less accurate than this method can cause thousands of dollars! Pulse test
Through this test, Dr. Coca was able to address a large number of symptoms and conditions by identifying and eliminating from the diet, foods to which the person was intolerant. Pulse test
As health recovery proceeds, some foods to which a person has sensitivity may be re-introduced in moderation using the pulse to monitor their acceptability. Understanding and using the test as a tool can help you throughout your life to be free from the ill effects of eating foods that are not right for you. Dr. Coca wrote a book called The Pulse Test which gives more details, and can be purchased through Amazon.com. Pulse test

INTERPRETATION OF TEST, Part 11.
You can characterize your pulse as follows: Pulse test
-
The daily low pulse rate. Normally this will be your waking rate, unless you are sleeping on something you are allergic to! Pulse test
-
Note the highest and lowest pulse on each day. The maximum normal range difference is 16 beats. If your rate is higher than this, you are allergic to something. Pulse test
-
Once you have your average pulse, and your differential ( the difference between the daily low and high rates), anything that causes you to vary from that is suspect. Pulse test
-
Therefore, taking your pulse after each meal will enable you to tell whether something in your diet is increasing your pulse rate, indicating sensitivity. Pulse test
-
A routine of eliminating elements of that meal, and testing again, will enable you to identify the guilty substance.
