"Challenge of Cranial Faults
...

A. Sign of internal or external rotated frontal is weakness of anterior neck flexors. 

 



 B. Internal frontal bone signs.

  1. Wide nares on one side.

  2. Narrow orbit on other side.

  3. Super orbital notch soreness.

 C. External frontal signs.

  1. Wide orbit

  2. Painful eyeball on wide orbit side.

  3. Painful cheek bone on opposite side.

 D. These external signs may be present without anterior neck flexor weakness.

 E. Procedure for challenging internal frontal. Example: Wide nares, narrow orbit side.

 

 



  1. Patient is in supine position.

  2. Put pressure on malar bone.

  3. Press medially toward base of nose with 4 or 5 lbs. pressure.

  4. If there is a partial internal frontal bone rotation, the anterior neck flexors will show strength, but when pressure is applied to the malar bone as described above, this will cause an immediate weakness of the anterior neck flexors.

 F. Correct internal frontal bone in usual way.

  1. Go to side of wide nares, narrow orbit using roll out type pressure on the alveolar process.

  2. Go past teeth into pterygoid pocket and press footward.

  3. Get on pterygoid process on the opposite side of press upward.

 G. Re-challenge malar arch and anterior neck flexors will not blow.

 H. External frontal bone rotation.

  1. Wide orbit with no change in nares.

  2. The wide orbit side has painful eyeball.

  3. Narrow orbit side has painful cheek bone.

 I. External frontal bone challenge.

 



  1. Go to narrow orbit side.

  2. Grasp upper molar teeth and pulls downward with 4 or 5 lbs. pressure, (if the patient has dentures, try to grasp gums in that area).

  3. Retest anterior neck flexors.

  4. If partial external frontal bone rotation, flexors will go weak.

  5. Correct external frontal bone as follows:

  a. Press lateral to cruciate ligament on hard palate on narrow orbit side, press toward vertex of skull.
b. Check eyeball pain, pressing on cruciate ligament in direction that eliminates it.

 

 

 

 



 J. Use in difficult cervical and whiplash injuries."

More Clinical Wisdom (about Acupuncture and AK) offered by Dr. Goodheart in his Monthly AK Research Tapes.

(Doctors around the world remember Dr. Goodheart spe...aking with this kind of detailed clarity about all these issues when they spoke with him...inexhaustible GENIUS!)

"Temperature difference in Acupuncture.
A. Inner aspect of knee is related to liver. 

 B. Outer aspect of knee is related to stomach.

 C. Patella aspect of knee is related to spleen.

 D. Lateral portion of lower limb, starting at head of fibular to lateral maleolus is related to gallbladder.

 E. Medial aspect of leg from the Achilles tendon to the os calcis is related to the kidney.

 F. Midway on the radial ulnar aspect of arm on the palmar surface is related to the paracardium or circulation sex, (the P-4 or H-4 area).

 G. On the volar aspect of the arm from the olecranon process to the mid-portion of the transverse ligament, is related to the thyroid gland.

 H. On the base of the metacarpal to the tip of the little finger on the little finger side is the area associated with the small intestine.

 I. At the point L-1 to L-11, or what the Chinese call the "Three mile point." On the radial side of the arm at the elbow, the size of one half dollar, is the area associated with the large intestine.

 J. The mid-aspect of the lower limb at point K-7 is the area for the kidney or psoas.

 K. These areas will be hot to the touch if the meridian is full.

 L. These same areas will be cool if the meridian is empty or deficient.
A quick review of the above.
 
A. Bladder or sacrospinalis, B-59 to B-60, (medial aspect of Achilles tendon).

 B. Liver or pectoralis major sternal division, L-8, (medial aspect of knee).

 C. Stomach or pectoralis major clavicular division, S-34 to S-36, (lateral aspect of knee).

 D. Gall bladder or popliteus muscle, G-33 to G-39, (lateral aspect of lower leg).

 E. Spleen lower and middle trapezius, pancreas, latissimus dorsi, St-9, (adjacent to the patella).

 F. Heart or subscapularis, H-7, (on the palmar surface of the hand, little finger side).

 G. Note: Correlate the above areas with Chinese pulse evaluation, alarm points, and muscle testing."

"Acupuncture

A. Running a meridian from beginning to end turns muscle on.

 B. Running a meridian from the end to the beginning, turns a muscle off.

Example:

1. Running kidney meridian from K-1 to K-27, will turn on psoas muscle. 

 2. Running a kidney meridian from K-27 to K-1 will turn off psoas muscle with the exception:

 a. When too much energy exists in a meridian, that meridian will not turn off. (Plus meridian).

 C. Conception vessel works in reverse.

 1. When running CV-24 to CV-1, a positive muscle response is elicited.

 a. Any muscle will turn on that is associated with a cranial fault.

 2. Conception vessel locks cranial fault in corrected position. Also locks upper cervical and occipital faults, (atlas, axis, and 3rd cervical).

 D. Governing vessel.

 1. Starts at coccyx tip, runs over the head on midline, over the nose to upper lip.

 a. Follows usual course, running forward turns muscle on, turning backward turns muscle off.

 2. Governing vessel is associated with sacral faults.

 3. Does not lock pelvis as unit, (posterior ilium, posterior ischium, etc.).

 4. It will only lock a sacral fault, respiratory spinal fluid in nature.

 5. A sacral respiration fault cannot be reversed, once the governing vessel has been locked.

 E. A cranial respiratory fault cannot be reversed once the conception vessel has been locked."

Applied Kinesiology assesses and corrects an essential characteristic of headaches

In terms of the many causes of headache, The Headache Classification Committee of the International Headache Society suggests that the performance of the deep neck flexors has greater diagnostic value for musculoskeletal involvement in head...ache than ANY OTHER finding.

Applied Kinesiology Successfully Treats Candida Infestation

Applied Kinesiology involvement with the problem of Candida Albicans has been ongoing and successful. Candida albicans, unlike the friendly bacteria who have made the human body their home, offers no benefits in return.

Candida albicans infestation afflicts those who've undergone a course of antibiotics several times in a year; antibiotic treatment for acne; treatment with cortisone, prednisone or ACTH; more than one pregnancy; a very high sugar content in the diet; chronic multiple infections; and the use of contraceptive medication for a year or more.

Rampant candida is one of the most obvious signs of a depressed immune system.

Applied Kinesiologists have reported on the successful treatment of this tenacious condition in a number of journals for decades. The first paper above concerns a young girl with repeated and severe ear infections who, after several sessions with her AK doctor, never had a recurrence of this problem for over 7 years and counting. The second paper here by Rochlitz, was later published in The Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients.

Applied Kinesiology and the Digestive System

 



A large percentage of our population has some form of disturbance in digestive function.  Population based studies have estimated that 10-20% of otherwise healthy people report one or more symptoms of chronic constipation alone. A number of well-conducted studies have shown the effectiveness of chiropractic treatment for conditions such as infantile colic and pyloric stenosis. (Fallon, 1994)

In several AK-specific reports, treatment of neurolymphatic (Chapman’s) reflexes has been reported to be successful therapy for chronic constipation and associated low back pain; Kharrazian described a patient who resolved her indigestion; Lever reported on a case series of 90 patients (82 with an active enterogastric reflex) with the following results: 48 patients improved 90% of their symptoms; 11 patients improved 70% of their symptoms; 16 patients improved 50% of their symptoms; 3 patients improved 20% or less of their symptoms using AK methods for stomach disorders; Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis responded to AK care as reported by Dr. Duffy; Maykel reported that chronic and severe constipation responded to AK treatment of an IVD syndrome and closed ileocecal valve; Maykel also showed that AK corrected a severe case of hiatal hernia; and Lebowitz presented an AK-analysis of food sensitivities in 100 patients, and a second cohort of patients with candida albicans and chemical sensitivities in 50 patients. (Caso, 2001; Kharrazian, 2008; Lever; 2006; Duffy, 1992; Maykel, 2004; Lebowitz, 1992, 1990)

Examination of the bowel using AK methods was first introduced by Goodheart in 1967. The ICAKs advancement in the understanding and treatment of the enteric nervous system has only improved since that time.

Applied Kinesiology and Knee Pain

Applied Kinesiology examination identifies a basic underlying and often untreated (because undiagnosed) source of knee pain and dysfunction.

 

An elegant study by Spencer et al. showed that identifiable muscle inhibition of the vastus medialis, rectus femoris, and vastus lateralis muscles (each specifically testable using AK methods) occurred with swelling induced in the knee.

East and West Combine: Applied Kinesiology and Traditional Chinese Medicine

Acupuncture – or more accurately “meridian therapy” – has proven a valid method of treatment. Dr. Goodheart and the ICAK have provided some of the first advancements in this treatment in the Western world.

 

By using AK techniques, the flow o...f energy in the meridians can be evaluated and corrected if out of balance. Correction can be made by many methods of stimulation such as electrical, cold laser, needles, small tape patches with metal balls, or by mechanically stimulating certain spots. There is usually an immediate improvement in muscle function after meridian balancing. A number of recent published reports have demonstrated the effectiveness of the AK system of analysis for meridian system dysfunctions.

 

 

The endocrinologists and AK practitioners Moncayo and Moncayo have investigated and confirmed many of the cornerstone procedures developed in AK for the treatment of the acupuncture or meridian system.

Applied Kinesiology and Respiratory Distress Recovery

Weaknesses of the muscles of respiration (like the anterior scalenes) may reflect an upper-chest breathing pattern or be a compensation for reduced support of the deep neck flexors, or be a protective response to mechanosensitive nerve tissue (joint dysfunctions).

 

Each of these elements may be uniquely and effectively evaluated with Applied Kinesiology assessment.

The Father of Orthomolecular Medicine (Dr. Abram Hoffer) and Applied Kinesiology

 

Abram Hoffer, MD, PhD (called The Father of Orthomolecular Medicine) told the founder of Applied Kinesiology, Dr. George J. Goodheart, Jr.:

"...The contribution you have made is a good one and may be extremely significant in helping to treat our patients."





Applied Kinesiology permits the doctor using it, as Dr. Goodheart said:

"The opportunity to use the body as an instrument of laboratory analysis is unparalleled in modern therapy; if one approaches the problem correctly, making the proper and adequate diagnosis and treatment, the response is satisfactory for both the doctor and to the patient."
