Applied Kinesiology analysis and treatment in multiple sclerosis

Applied Kinesiology methods permit us a way to test and specifically treat disorders of the central nervous system. We do not treat the illnesses themselves, but can achieve results on some of their consequences. Patients with this type of disease appreciate all the help we can offer them.

In this patient with Multiple Sclerosis for 3 decades, the inability to walk was significantly improved after several applied kinesiology sessions (addressing the structural, chemical, and psychosocial aspects of his condition).

Applied Kinesiology as a Clinical Prediction Rule for Craniosacral dysfunctions and headache

The most likely source for the Cranial Rhythmic Impulse or the Primary Craniosacral Respiratory Mechanism is the muscle system, the "Primary Machinery of Life."

Nutritional Assessment with Manual Muscle Testing

The human brain's Gustatory Motor System can be thought of as containing 2 stages.

The first stage is the sensory systems that feed into it (sense of smell, state of awareness, autonomic status, salivary state, etc.). These transform the individual gustatory sensory representations into the combined sense of flavor.

 

 

The second stage (which is measured in AK) is the action systems that draw on the full capacity of the human brain systems that generate and control our behavior.

The image here gives a better impression of the extensive amount of the human brain devoted to gustatory interpretation and creation of "flavor" and "taste". The true extent of the gustatory action system is revealed in the network of regions and connections that reflects the power of gustatory stimulation upon the brain.

 

The descending motor system that controls our muscles and glands begins at the highest level in the motor strip of the cerebral cortex. Just as there is a sensory homunculus representing the body surface -- with large areas devoted to the lips and tongue -- there is a corresponding motor homunculus with a similar enlargement of the lips and tongue -- THIS is where nutritional challenge occurs in the functional neurology approach of AK. It represents the larger numbers of cortical microcircuits devoted to receiving the sensory inputs and controlling the fine movements of the lips and tongue when we eat and drink.

 

 

Humans have a much more highly developed sense of flavor and taste because of the complex processing that occurs in the large human brain. A common misconception is that foods and nutrients contain flavors. Foods do contain the flavor molecules, but the flavors of those molecules are actually created by our brains after they are perceived by the gustatory and olfactory senses. The new science of neurogastronomy has described a uniquely human brain flavor system, one of the most extensive behavioral systems in the brain, creating perceptions, emotions, memories, consciousness, language, decisions, and motor programs, all centered on flavor.

 

 

 

The science of food and nutrition now begins in the brain, and shows not only how the brain receives the sensory stimuli of nutrition, but how in doing so the brain actively creates and responds to the sensation of flavor.

 

It should be recognized -- as Dr. Goodheart repeatedly pointed out -- that the only "pattern recognition device" for flavor and taste are the human organs of smell and taste, what we in AK call "olfactory" and "gustatory" challenge during AK nutritional testing.

Salivary Hormone Levels and the Manual Muscle Test

http://www.townsendletter.com/Jan2015/adrenalstress0115.html

 

Is the manual muscle test as used in Applied Kinesiology a potential "Clinical Prediction Rule" for the presence of hormone imbalances in patients?

 

This study suggests that this is a possibility worthy of further investigation.

Cranial Technique and craniosacral therapy and Applied Kinesiology

For several decades Dr. George J. Goodheart, Jr. produced Monthly AK Research Tapes -- LOADED with exceptional insights for the holistic physician. Here are the "Highlights" of Tape 4, Side 1 -- (with a few "illustrative pictures")

"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."
