Holistic Resolution of Chronic Cough and Energy Restoration through Applied Kinesiology and Nutritional Support

This podcast episode features Dr. Sten Ekberg and his patient, Mariana, discussing her dramatic recovery from a chronic, annual cough. Mariana experienced a significant, recurring cough lasting four to six weeks, typically starting with laryngitis and progressing to a deep, wet cough. After approximately three weeks into her annual episode, she sought Dr. Ekberg's holistic chiropractic practice. Dr. Ekberg emphasizes that his practice focuses on holistic healthcare, not merely treating symptoms or diagnosing diseases, but rather identifying and removing interferences to the body's natural healing processes.

A crucial distinction made by Dr. Ekberg is that they "did not treat her cough" directly. Instead, their approach involved asking the body what was "holding it back" and "interfering with the healing process." This is achieved through specific protocols like applied kinesiology and nutrition response testing. The intervention for Mariana involved a "regimen of vitamins and supplements," which, according to Dr. Ekberg, supported the body's inherent ability to heal rather than directly targeting the cough as a disease.

Mariana's experience provides a compelling practical insight into the efficacy of this holistic method. Within just two days of starting the prescribed regimen, her cough was 90% gone, and completely resolved within another two days. Beyond the cough, she also reported increased energy and a feeling of rejuvenation. This suggests that addressing underlying systemic imbalances can lead to rapid and comprehensive improvements in health, extending beyond the initial presenting complaint.

The episode highlights a paradigm shift from conventional symptom-based treatment to a root-cause, body-centric healing model. It implies that many chronic or recurring issues might stem from systemic interferences rather than isolated pathologies. The success story underscores the potential of complementary health practices like applied kinesiology and nutritional support in empowering the body's self-healing mechanisms, offering a broader perspective on health and wellness beyond traditional medical diagnoses.

I had an acute and pretty significant onset of a cough that I have every year every year and it lasts about four to six weeks starts with laryngitis and then progresses into just this deep wet cough that I cannot get rid of.

you started me in a regimen of vitamins and supplements and within two days the cloth was 90 percent gone and about two more days and it was 100% done.

a little bit more energy as the days went on and the week's went on a little bit more rejuvenated.

we did not treat her cough we we don't treat disease we don't diagnose disease.

we ask the body what is holding it back we ask what's interfering with the healing process.

the body tells us through a protocol that we use with applied kinesiology and nutrition response testing.

When the body tells us and we support the body then it can start moving on toward healing.

in marianas case it was quite dramatic so we were very happy for you.

we look at ourselves as holistic healthcare practitioners were not spine doctors.
