A Root-Cause Approach to Chronic Infections

Chronic infections occur when pathogens—such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites—persist in the body for months, years, or even decades, rather than being fully cleared by the immune system. Unlike acute infections that resolve quickly with standard treatment, chronic infections can smolder in the background, contributing to ongoing inflammation, immune dysregulation, and a wide range of seemingly unrelated symptoms.

These infections may remain latent or “stealth,” periodically reactivating under stress, immune suppression, or other triggers. Common examples include persistent viral infections (like Epstein-Barr virus or cytomegalovirus), tick-borne illnesses (such as Lyme disease), chronic bacterial overgrowth, or fungal imbalances (like Candida). In many cases, they overlap with or contribute to conditions like chronic fatigue, autoimmune issues, or post-infection syndromes.

At our practice, we view chronic infections not as isolated events but as part of a bigger picture involving gut health, immune function, nervous system balance, and overall resilience. Addressing them comprehensively can help restore vitality and reduce the burden of persistent symptoms. Patients come from across Allen, Plano, Frisco, Prosper, and Princeton throughout Collin County to visit our McKinney office.

A Root-Cause Approach to Gut Health

At the Krone Health Institute, Dr. Cooper Krone DC, PAK, QNCP takes a completely different approach than conventional gastroenterology. Your gut microbiome is one of the three major foundations in health! This is why it’s so important we address it with a meaningful approach.

Two things at the Krone Health Institute we’ve always found to be true.

Anytime there’s a health issue, there’s anyways a reason for it.
Once we give the body what it needs to heal, it’s able to heal itself.

You’re more than a diagnosis. Instead of the “band-aid approach” with masking symptoms, we seek to identify and correct the root causes of your health concerns. Your body has an incredible ability to heal when given the right support. Let’s uncover why your gut has been struggling and restore your natural balance.

Common Conditions/Infections

• Parasites

• Lyme

• Mold/Fungus/Yeast/Mycotoxins

• Chronic Viruses/EBV

• PANS/PANDAS

• Tonsils/Adenoids

Common Symptoms of Chronic Infections

Symptoms of chronic infections are often subtle, fluctuating, and multi-systemic, which can make traditional diagnosis challenging. They may wax and wane or worsen during periods of stress or immune challenge. Common symptoms include:

• Fatigue

• Poor Memory

• Feeling 'spacey'/brain fog

• Hypoglycemia

• Vaginal discharge/itching

• Irritability/moodiness/depression

• Food sensitivities

• Constipation or diarrhea

• Chronic subluxations

• Hypothyroidism

• Any intestinal symptom / Autoimmune Disease

• Hypoadrenia

• Insomnia

• Headaches/sinusitis

• Abdominal pain/bloating

• Obesity or inability to lose weight

• Prostatitis

• PMS

• Chronic rashes/itching

• Rectal itching

• Chemical sensitivities

• Any chronic problem

• Allergles

Because these symptoms overlap with many other conditions, a thorough evaluation is essential to identify underlying infectious or immune contributors.

Symptoms That Tell Us Your Gut Needs Support

Persistent bloating or distension
Irregular bowel movements
Fatigue after eating
Brain fog or poor concentration
Skin issues (eczema, acne, rosacea)
Joint pain or inflammation
Food reactions that seem random
Anxiety, depression or mood swings

Conditions Linked to Chronic Gut Issues

IBS
Leaky Gut
SIBO
IBD/UC/Chrons
Acid Reflux
Gallbladder Health

Causes/Risk Factors

Chronic infections develop when the immune system cannot fully eliminate a pathogen after initial exposure. Contributing factors include:

• Weakened or dysregulated immunity (from stress, poor sleep, nutritional deficiencies, or

prior illnesses)

• Environmental exposures — Tick or insect bites, mold, or contaminated sources

• Gut microbiome imbalances that impair immune function

• High stress or autonomic nervous system dysregulation

• Underlying conditions like autoimmune tendencies, hormonal imbalances, or toxin burden

• Lifestyle factors — Poor diet, sedentary habits, or frequent antibiotic use that disrupts microbial balance

Our Approach & What Makes Us Different

At our practice, we utilize a highly personalized form of frequency medicine grounded in Applied Kinesiology (AK) along with many other techniques to address chronic infections at their root. Through precise muscle testing, we evaluate how specific vials challenge the body. This allows us to identify exactly which frequencies are disrupting your system and, most importantly, which individualized supplements or remedies create a neutralizing response.

This approach is truly unique to each person:

• Every patient receives a custom protocol based on real-time neuromuscular feedback rather than generic recommendations.

• We work on a frequency and cellular level, helping the body recognize and correct the energetic signatures of chronic infections (such as persistent bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites like Strongyloides).

• By matching the right frequencies, we support the body’s innate ability to shift at the cellular level — reducing the pathogen burden while strengthening immune resilience and nervous system balance.

What sets our care apart:

• Individualized frequency matching — Muscle testing thousands of possible vials enables us to pinpoint the exact supplements, herbs, or remedies that resonate with your body’s current needs.

• Integration with chiropractic care — We combine frequency-specific protocols with gentle adjustments to optimize nervous system function, which enhances immune regulation and overall healing.

• Root-cause focus — Instead of broad-spectrum or long-term suppressive approaches, we target the specific infectious frequencies contributing to your symptoms while addressing related factors like gut health, toxicity, and energy production.

• Measurable, patient-specific results — Many patients report improvements in energy, mental clarity, and symptom reduction as their body achieves better cellular balance.

Our goal is not simply to manage chronic infections but to help your body restore its natural harmony and resilience so you can regain lasting vitality.

Patient Education & Lifestyle Tips

Supporting your body while addressing chronic infections is a collaborative process. Here are practical, evidence-informed steps you can take:

• Prioritize nutrient-dense eating — Focus on whole foods rich in antioxidants, healthy fats, and protein (leafy greens, berries, wild-caught fish, olive oil, fermented foods). Minimize sugar and processed foods that can feed microbial imbalances.

• Support immune and gut health — Consider bone broth, probiotics (under guidance), and adequate fiber. Stay hydrated to aid detoxification.

• Move regularly — Gentle, consistent movement like walking, yoga, or stretching helps circulation, lymphatic drainage, and stress reduction without overtaxing the system.

• Optimize sleep and stress management — Aim for 7–9 hours of quality sleep. Practices like deep breathing, meditation, or mindfulness can lower cortisol and support immune regulation.

• Minimize environmental toxins — Reduce exposure to mold, chemicals, and unnecessary medications when possible; support natural detox pathways with saunas, sweating, or targeted

supplements (as recommended).

• Listen to your body — Track symptoms and energy patterns. Pace activities to avoid crashes, and communicate changes promptly during care.

These foundational habits enhance the effectiveness of any targeted interventions and promote long-term resilience.
