A Living, & Growing Medical White Paper, Historical Notes & a "New Frontier in Medicine" - By Dennis Buettner, Habit Cough Association™
Critical worldwide update: If true; (and it is) the statement below is easily one of the most paradigm shifting quotes in general medicine, ENT, pulmonology, asthma, otolaryngology, allergy AND psychology in the last 100 years. The full context is located HERE.
Dr. Miles Weinberger, MD. stated with great authority of over 40 years of curing acute, and chronic cough disease, "The nomenclature, habit cough, fits the category of an unintentional habit disorder as defined by the American Psychological Association, i.e., repetitive unwanted behavior that is involuntary, causes distress and functional impairment, and has physical and social consequences. While tics, including verbal tics, are also considered unintentional habit disorders, a cough is distinct from the vocalization of a verbal tic."
You might have heard: "... treat," "... suppress," "... try this," and/or "... we'll keep an eye one it;" but maybe never the word ~ "cure" for an adult, or child's acute, or chronic post-viral cough ~ till now. Cough is the #1 reason why HUNDREDS of MILLIONS of patients around the world go to their doctors with no cure ~ till now! Just more: "... treat," "... suppress," "... try this," & "... we'll keep an eye on it!" It's hard to imagine that until now; there has never been a replicable, instant & permanent cure for the post-viral, (lingering after a cold, or virus) "daytime," "awake only," dry cough; in adults & children. This includes numerous; first ever reports of post-COVID cough cures, and long-COVID cough cures. Just published: Habit Cough in Adults - HERE Just published: post-Covid, and long-Covid instant & permanent cough cures. HERE
Post COVID-19 and Long COVID cough cure Update: Dr. Weinberger has received numerous unsolicited, verified reports of post, & long COVID-19 cough cure success utilizing his procedure. - Please report any post-viral,COVID-19 & Long COVID cough cures utilizing Dr. Weinberger's submission form HERE. Note: Please include any post-influenza habit cough, & cures too. "A review of 19 published medical studies revealed that the mean duration of any cough was 17.8 days, with a range of 15.3 to 28.6 days. Cough aerosol spray efficiently spreads viruses such as deadly influenza and COVID-19. Cure the cough, and stop the spread of deadly influenza, and COVID-19. Not every cough is a habit cough. Consult with your doctor. There is NO medical advice in these posts, or anywhere on this website." - Editor
"Chronic cough is a horribly unpleasant ailment. People can find themselves coughing hundreds of times every hour of their waking lives, for years on end, and current medicines simply aren't effective at relieving this condition." {Let alone providing an instant and permanent cure. - Editor]- Professor Stuart Mazzone, via EurekAlert, The Good Cough and the Bad Cough
“Chronic cough is more than 8 weeks [adults], and for the majority of these patients, it’s years. It’s 1 to 5 to 10 to 20 years. It’s not something that is transient, unfortunately, and it’s triggered by lots of things,” Dr. Bruce Prenner, MD.
*** Update: Dr. Weinberger has received numerous unsolicited reports of post-COVID-19 cough, AND cough cures. - Please report any post-viral, COVID-19 / SARS-CoV-2 / Coronavirus coughs, & any cough cures utilizing Dr. Weinberger's submission form HERE. ***
"Cough is one of the most common presenting symptoms of COVID-19, along with fever and loss of taste and smell. Cough can persist for weeks or months after SARS-CoV-2 infection, often accompanied by chronic fatigue, cognitive impairment, dyspnoea, or pain—a collection of long-term effects referred to as the post-COVID syndrome or long COVID." & "Many reports have now described post-COVID symptoms and show that cough can persist for weeks and months after SARS-CoV-2 infection in some patients, with differing severity of acute symptoms." - Confronting COVID-19-associated cough and the post-COVID syndrome - from The Lancet Respiratory Medicine
"You might never have heard the word, 'cure' about your 'awake,' 'daytime,' 'lingering,' 'post-viral,' 'barking,' "non-productive," "dry" cough. You might well have heard, 'treat,' 'suppress,' and '... we'll keep an eye on it,' but not the definitive word, 'cure.'
Dr. Weinberger's procedure is an exciting 'New Frontier in Medicine.' Now; acute, and chronic 'awake,' 'daytime,' 'non-productive' cough; 'absent once asleep' has been instantly & permanently cured.
After hiding in plain sight for over a millennia, with never an effective treatment; let alone a cure for coughing; adult and child cures from around the world 'typically,' and 'routinely' occur in minutes and even '... within seconds.'
These 'cures of the cough without a cause' occur 'in-office,' 'via-telemedicine,' & [incredibly] simply by watching a peer reviewed and published YouTube documentary; in multiple languages ~ by Dr. Miles Weinberger, MD." - Dennis Buettner, editor
Medical White Papers are in-depth articles aimed to educate and inform site visitors interested in medical research and progression to certain outcomes. Medical white papers are supported by historical documents, textbooks, notes, observations, and opinions, as well as peer reviewed and published manuscripts.

You might hear, "treat," "suppress," and "... we'll keep an eye on it," but, most likely, NEVER; until now, the word "cure" about your acute or chronic cough. This is because there has NEVER been a cough cure; or even a cough treatment based on scientific evidence rather than simply historical practice. The ONLY recommendation for cough is honey and sugar ~ this is the same recipe from medieval times, over 1,400 years ago. (No joke.) Honey & sugar do not cure or suppress acute or chronic cough.
Fact: Until now; in the history of humankind, and the science of medicine; since Hippocrates, there has never been a peer reviewed and published, drug-free, instant & permanent cure for refractory, unexplained, chronic cough ~ absent once asleep; only to return with relentless fury ~ once awake.
This ailment torments adult and child patients with hundreds and even thousands of coughs ~ "... every hour of their waking lives for years on end ..." [even relentless decades]
Dr. Weinberger's procedure can instantly & permanently cure weeks, months, years and even decades of refractory, unexplained, chronic cough via-telemedicine, in-office & by-proxy. You should have no expectation of any alleviation or cure of your cough. Consult with your doctor. Cure map testimonials from patients and doctors HERE.
"More people seek medical advice for an unwanted, nagging cough than any other ailment. In some people their cough can persist for years without relief, as effective treatments are not readily available." - EurekAlert, The Good Cough and the Bad Cough
"Chronic cough is a horribly unpleasant ailment. People can find themselves coughing hundreds of times every hour of their waking lives, for years on end, and current medicines simply aren't effective at relieving this condition." {Let alone providing an instant and permanent cure. - Editor] - Professor Stuart Mazzone, via EurekAlert, The Good Cough and the Bad Cough
Special editor note: With regard to Dr. Weinberger's Habit Cough Syndrome diagnosis, the phrase from Dr. Mazzone, above, "... of their waking lives," the key word is "waking" [awake]. Dr. Weinberger's habit cough diagnosis takeaway is, "... cough absent once asleep; only to return once awake ..." ["... of their waking lives"]
From the peer reviewed and published manuscript above: "Cough is one of the most common presenting symptoms of COVID-19, along with fever and loss of taste and smell. Cough can persist for weeks or months after SARS-CoV-2 infection, often accompanied by chronic fatigue, cognitive impairment, dyspnoea, or pain—a collection of long-term effects referred to as the post-COVID syndrome or long COVID." & "Many reports have now described post-COVID symptoms and show that cough can persist for weeks and months after SARS-CoV-2 infection in some patients, with differing severity of acute symptoms." - from Confronting COVID-19-associated cough and the post-COVID syndrome - The Lancet Respiratory Medicine
"The initial cause of the Habit Cough is commonly symptoms consistent with a viral respiratory infection. When the symptoms caused in children [and adults] were initiated from Covid-19, the subsequent Habit Cough did not appear to differ from that initiated by other common cold viruses." - Dr. Miles Weinberger, MD., 40 year cough cure researcher & founder of University of Iowa Cough Clinic
Note: You will see this habit cough diagnosis from 1694 below. "habitual, cough [absent once asleep] which often continues after the first Cough, which was caused by the Cold, is gone,..." [post-viral cough] -and- for adults from 1685 below. "... a violent dry Cough following her day and night, unless when she was fallen asleep:..." These are quite similar to Dr. Weinberger's current habit cough diagnosis HERE.
From Good News Network: "The Weinberger ‘Suggestion Therapy’ is so easy and rewarding, that the diagnosed adult or child can “self cure” by watching the video (HERE) and sipping from a tall glass of water while concentrating on breathing, as instructed. Full recovery to ‘cough zero’ has occurred within days for 95% of children [and adults] who were treated by Weinberger and practiced the procedure."
Special note: Dr. Weinberger's no-cost, instant & permanent, post-viral cough curative procedure is "typically," and "routinely" referred to, utilized, and replicated by esteemed doctors at numerous, renowned, worldwide medical centers, when all other cough medicine, treatments and procedures have failed.
Kim Cutler from Old Bar, New South Wales, Australia wrote: "Dr. Weinberger, You truly are a Super Hero, with real life Super Powers that you have shared with Abby, and she is using those powers to heal herself. It's starting to happen already." Abby relentlessly coughed hundreds ~ if not thousands of times for 16 hours per day, of her waking life ~ for 5 years on end. Even though it was very difficult for Abby to fall asleep, (due to the incessant coughing) once asleep, she slept like an angel ~ with absolutely no coughing. Abby's violent, mystery, daytime only, "horror cough" returned, almost immediately once she awoke. Its relentless fury haunted her every day. Abby coughed millions and millions of times during 5 horrific, and torturous years. She endured numerous diagnoses, medicines, treatments, and invasive surgical procedures. All hope was long past gone. Then...
Abby's mom, Kim found Dr. Weinberger's cough cure documentary on YouTube after years of searching for any relief from her daughter's daytime torture cough.
Abby filmed herself watching Dr. Weinberger's documentary and was instantly & permanently cured in less than 15 minutes. (Had Abby not filmed herself being cured, it would certainly be hard to believe.) Her story, and video is below. Many more fascinating horror cough cure stories are located HERE.
If Dr. Weinberger's procedure can instantly & permanently cure Abby's 5 year, 18 hour per-day "daytime only" horror cough in mere minutes; just imagine how many of the world's coughs it can cure! No cough = no transmission of cough aerosol spray. Cough aerosol spray spreads influenza virus, COVID-19, illness, disease and death. Cure the cough, and stop the spread!
Fact: Even though cough is the number 1 reason that Americans go to the doctor; there is (and has never been) no mention of any type of treatment "based on scientific evidence; not just historical practice," let alone instant and permanent "cure," until now.
From the peer reviewed and published manuscript Assessment and Management of Chronic Cough above: "Cough is the most common complaint for patients seeking medical attention in the United States." You may have heard many things about your mystery, unexplained, daytime, awake cough ~ absent once asleep.
You've probably heard "treat," "suppress," & "... we'll keep an eye on your cough," but, have you ever actually heard the word, "cure," concerning your cough?
You might have consumed countless ineffective drug therapies with no mention of a cure.
You could have received multiple diagnoses, & undergone numerous tests, evaluations, assessments, referrals, detailed investigations, diagnostic work-ups, and procedures ~ without ever hearing the word "cure", or maybe even the word, "habit."
Galen of Pergamon wrote: "... habit, viz.: that it is a permanent and durable affection, whether that be good or bad ..." Habit cough is the "daytime," "awake," "lingering," "post-viral," "... cough without a cause," that has a simple, non-invasive diagnosis ~ after your doctor rules out comorbidities. (... cough absent once asleep; only to return once awake ...)
A non-pharmacological (drug-free), instant and permanent curative treatment; in-office, via-telemedicine, and by-proxy (watching a YouTube documentary) for adults and children with habit cough has been hiding in plain-sight for a millennia. The world renowned pediatric pulmonologist, Dr. Miles Weinberger, MD, founded and ran The University of Iowa Pediatric Allergy & Pulmonary (Cough Cure) Clinic for 40 years "accidentally" discovered the instant and permanent cough cure.
** We want you to consult with; and trust YOUR doctor, because there are only references to peer reviewed and published information, ~ but no medical advice on this website. **
You will note there are numerous offsite links to peer reviewed and government published resources for your validation and verification.
You will read the word "cure" about child and adult acute, and chronic habit cough, over 100 times in this story alone. This is a display of the confidence in the consistent, and replicable outcome of Dr. Weinberger's brilliant "accidental" medical discovery. Renowned doctors at worldwide medical centers agree.
About stating the word, "cure" - I was recently told by a prominent newspaper editor that using / stating the word "cure" would get a lot of people, including Dr. Weinberger into "trouble". I told him that Dr. Weinberger's cough cure research is "based on scientific evidence; not just historical practice." I referred him to Dr. Weinberger's peer reviewed and published work since 1991. (below) He passed on the story; stating that nobody will believe it. No worries. Dr. Weinberger's brilliant story has now been told in numerous publications all around the world. and is utilized, replicated and referred to by numerous esteemed medical doctors at renowned global medical centers.
Dr. Weinberger has published a tremendous amount of debated, but undisputed research "based on scientific evidence; not just historical practice" in children and adults. This world renowned 50 year cough cure researcher from the "cornfields of Iowa" confidently knows that his use of the word "cure" in the title and content of manuscripts will pass "peer review" to be published every time.
Dr. Weinberger's first peer reviewed and published manuscript concerning his Skype telemedicine cure of 12 year old Bethany actually states "cure" in the title, within context of her 1/2 million refractory unexplained chronic coughs (RUCC) being instantly and permanently cured.
Unexpected and unintended cure of habit cough by proxy was written by Dr. Weinberger, and published in the renowned "Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology" in August, 2019. It was the first time in the history of the science of medicine that a chronic cough cure was noted; where the patient simply had to watch a peer reviewed and published YouTube documentary.
You might call it your "lingering," "awake," or "daytime," dry cough. This post-viral cough has been described by Hippocrates, and diagnosed in adults since Tiberius Julius Caesar Augustus as "habitual [habit] cough."
There has NEVER been an instant and permanent peer reviewed and published in-office, telemedicine AND by-proxy cure in adults and children until now.
Adult Habit Cough? - A debate that was settled by the diagnosis of Tiberius; the second Caesar and other published documentation since. There is an intriguing debate within the worldwide pulmonology community concerning habit cough in adults, claiming, "Habit/tic cough is another aetiology found particularly in children..." HERE, with no mention of adult habit cough or cure.
Regarding not assigning a diagnosis of habit cough in adult acute and chronic cough patients, a pulmonologist at a world renowned medical center, HERE states "We try not to use that term [habit of coughing] ...,".
“Habit Cough causes considerable morbidity, including well-intentioned iatrogenesis, unneeded testing, unnecessary medication, and even hospitalization. Several variations of suggestion are well documented as curative for habit cough. The current unanticipated and unintended observations reported in 3 children and 2 adults demonstrate further the amenability of habit cough to suggestion. The clinical characteristics of habit cough are sufficiently distinct that the diagnosis can be made by the typical history of a repetitive harsh, barking, or honking cough, occurring up to several times per minute, that is absent once asleep. No testing is needed for diagnosis, and no medications are needed for treatment. Knowledge and skillful interaction with the patient are the tools for diagnosing and treating this disorder.” & “The bottom line is that allergists and immunologists or pulmonologists who encounter these [adult and child] patients should recognize the disorder based on the unique clinical characteristics and avoid excessive and unnecessary testing and therapeutic trials. The diagnosis should not be one of default after excluding all other causes of CC. That approach only adds to further quality-of-life impairment. The clinical characteristics of Habit Cough are sufficiently recognizable that a diagnosis is generally possible based on a history and physical examination.” - from Chronic cough in children and adults, Dr. Miles Weinberger, MD.
Special note: A pediatric pulmonologist at the same medical center as the adult pulmonologist above "typically" refers his most hopeless, helpless, forsaken and dire child cough patients to be instantly and permanently cured just by watching Dr. Weinberger's habit cough documentary on YouTube.
Educate & inform: Dr. Weinberger's main goal is that adult and pediatric pulmonologists as well as general practitioners, adult patients, and parents around the world might soon know about his diagnosis, curative treatment and most important recovery.
We have numerous examples of unsolicited submissions and stories of adult habit cough description and diagnosis, from Hippocrates to Weinberger below.
"In contrast to the identification of chronic cough in children, chronic cough in adults often remains a conundrum." & "Dr Mandel Sher, director of a cough center in Florida, noted similarities of habit cough in children and cough identified as neurogenic in adults. Both appear to be triggered by the urge to cough from feeling a sensation in their throat. Both usually occur after a pathologic event, usually a viral respiratory infection. Dr Sher further suggested that the 30–40% placebo response in various trials further indicates a behavioral component in adult chronic cough HERE. Some adults with chronic cough have reported that their chronic cough stopped from watching a video HERE, of a 12-year-old girl with a 3-month history of chronic cough who stopped coughing while receiving suggestion therapy HERE. Comments received in emails from two adult women, aged 58 and 68, who were among those who stopped coughing after watching the video stated, “I listened to the video and concentrated. It really works.” The other stated, “It’s amazing mind over matter.”" - From F1000Research - Diagnosis and Management of Chronic Cough: Similarities and Differences Between Children and Adults, by Dr. Miles Weinberger, MD, and Dr. Manju Hurvitz, MD.
Now, there are instant and permanent adult diagnoses, cures and recoveries from days, weeks, years and even decades of mystery "horror coughs," everywhere in the world.
Note: Regarding use of the term "tic" above: Dr. Weinberger states HERE: "However, we are talking about children [and adults] who cough. When I get a chest cold, I cough—I do not tic. These children [and adults] cough incessantly while awake but stop coughing once asleep. The cough is characteristically harsh and barking, [Note: We have now received so many "sounds of habit cough" that can be loud or quiet] occurs up to several times per minute for hours on end and continues for months [years, and even decades]. This disorder has been repeatedly described, sometimes with different terminology, but with the same description of the characteristic sound of the [habit] cough, barking or honking, and the absence of the cough once asleep."
Special note: It is appropriate to mention that in February 2019, even Dr. Weinberger had no idea or thought that adults would be cured with his procedure. He wants to get the word of his diagnosis, cure and recovery out to all medical doctors around the world.
The earliest known diagnosis of an adult with habitual cough notes above; "... and Tiberius had merely taken a medicine for an habitual cough, which was continually growing worse." - From De Vitis Caesarum [On the Vine of Caesars] Chapter 23
Special note: Tiberius Julius Caesar Augustus (/taɪˈbɪəriəs/; 16 November 42 BC – 16 March AD 37) suffered from a bad case of habitual [habit] cough "... which was continually growing worse," as an adult. Tiberius lived a long time before Galen, Greek Galenos, Latin Galenus, (born 129 ce, Pergamum, Mysia, Anatolia [now Bergama, Turkey]—died c. 216). Galen was a Greek physician, writer, and philosopher who exercised a dominant influence on medical theory and practice in Europe from the Middle Ages until the mid-17th century. Galen noted the definition of "habit" above. Galen wrote: "... habit, viz.: that it is a permanent and durable affection, whether that be good or bad ..."
Cough cure fact: Until now, in the history of medicine; since Hippocrates, there has never been an in-office, telemedicine AND by-proxy cough cure ~ via a YouTube documentary for children AND adults.
Dr. Weinberger's instant and permanent "peer reviewed & published" acute and chronic cough cure procedure is non-pharmacologic (drug-free) and no-cost (free).
Dr. Weinberger's curative procedure is available 7/24/365 everywhere in the world. It is accepted for use in-office via the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice, via-telemedicine and by-proxy via watching a YouTube documentary. Yes, just by watching and following simple instructions on the YouTube documentary provides the cure.
Dr. Weinberger's non-pharmacological, no-cost, procedure is "typically" & "routinely" replicated, utilized and referred to, by esteemed medical doctors at over 100 renowned medical centers worldwide.
Note: Your medical team might very well charge you a fee for services rendered. This is between you and your medical team.
Cough is the number 1 reason that people go to the doctor and 200 million adults around the world with a countless number of children all suffer from cough AND ...
The American Journal of Managed care states, "There are no current FDA-approved pharmacologic (drug utilization) treatments for chronic cough, resulting in a large, unmet need for patients." There is no mention of researching for a cough cure. The only cough recommendation is honey or sugar lozenges. This is the same recommendation since medieval times.
Special note: The unsolicited adult submissions from around the world to Dr. Weinberger, below, resulted in numerous instant and permanent habit cough cures, simply by watching a peer reviewed and published YouTube documentary.
From: Acute Cough—Does Anything Help? - "Unfortunately, the majority of therapies available are currently recommended based on historical practice rather than on scientific evidence." & "For acute coughs due to the common cold or another upper respiratory infection, there are many OTC products available, but none of them have been proven effective in treating a cough." - Emily M. Ambizas, PharmD, MPH, BCGP Associate Clinical Professor St. John’s University, College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences Queens, New York. Special note: Dr. Weinberger's acute and chronic cough cure research is indeed "based on scientific evidence; rather than on historical practice." Special note 2: This "historical practice" was also noted similarly as "Ungraded Consensus-Based Statement" ["... uncertainty due to lack of evidence but expert opinion that benefits outweigh risks and burdens or vice versa." This is basically a group consensus based upon "historical practice, and general; rather than scientific evidence."] referenced HERE in Pharmacologic and Nonpharmacologic Treatment for Acute Cough Associated With the Common Cold - Chest. 2017 Nov; 152(5): 1021–1037
These once hopeless, helpless, forsaken, lost and desperate men and women (as well as children) and their families have suffered from days, weeks, months, years and even decades of mystery "horror cough," with no treatment;, let alone prospect of a cure from their providers.
As you will see below, habitual [habit] cough was diagnosed as Tiberius Caesar's cough, while an adult, and in other noted adults in ancient medical tomes.
No differentiation was made between adults and children in every ancient medical document we have discovered and reviewed. Some of the documents were about children or adults, but there was no differentiation noted between the two.
Patients suffer from non-stop coughing, for days, months, years, & yes, even decades, with no diagnosis or only misdiagnoses, but never talk of a cure. They contact Dr. Weinberger, and exclaim ~ "... just gone!", "... are you a wizard?," "... cured!", "... wow, I couldn't believe what I was seeing!", "... shocking!", "... amazing!", "... poof!", "... off like a light switch!", "... had I not filmed it; even I wouldn't believe what I saw!", "... cured in seconds!", "You truly are a Super Hero ..."
Note: One recent, unsolicited, adult male patient from England began his "mystery cough" the week of his seventh birthday. He continued coughing for the next 25 years until he was cured by-proxy (just by watching Dr. Weinberger's YouTube documentary), at the age of 32. Note: Dr. Weinberger, a pediatrician, had never treated an adult, and was quite pleasantly surprised by this man, all of the adults who were instantly and permanently cured.
After hiding in plain sight for thousands of years, the world renowned, 40 year, cough cure researcher from University of Iowa, Dr. Miles Weinberger, MD, "unexpectedly" & "unintentionally" discovered a "habit cough" cure via-telemedicine and now, simply by watching a fun "peer reviewed and published" YouTube documentary. (Yes, the instant & permanent cure occurs by watching a YouTube documentary.)
From Nature Reviews Disease Primers - Cough Hypersensitivity and Chronic Cough - "Moreover, 40% of adults with chronic cough referred for specialist evaluation have no identified cause (known as unexplained chronic cough) or have persistent cough despite optimal treatment of conditions associated with chronic cough (known as refractory unexplained chronic cough)." HERE
It is estimated that over 200,000,000 +/- adults over the age of 45 suffer from chronic cough ~ per The Rotterdam Study above. (No mention of a cure.)
Fact: Cough aerosol spray spreads virus, illness and disease. Cure the cough and you stop the spread. Suppressing or treating a cough is not good enough. There has never been a permanent cure for chronic cough. Until now!
From: Preparing for a New Era in Chronic Cough Management - AJMC [Unfortunately, no mention of a cure. - Editor]
“Cough is the most common reason for primary care visits, with up to 85% receiving prescriptions for treatment. Despite these high prescribing rates, the majority of patients report no symptom improvement. For example, it is reported that almost 60% of patients receive codeine-containing antitussives; 45%, proton pump inhibitors; 26%, antidepressants; 15.5%, antianxiety medications; and 13.9%, neuromodulators, such as gabapentin. An average of $3266 is attributed to annual medical costs per patient (including prescription medications, office visits, and hospitalizations). Emergency department visits and hospital utilization due to negative sequelae of continued coughing also contribute to the increased cost of managing chronic cough. Even annual costs for over-the-counter (OTC) antitussives, which only temporarily suppress symptoms, are estimated at as high as $1 billion to $3.5 billion.” — The American Journal of Managed Care
With this astonishing number of adult chronic coughers (not even including children), it is easy to believe that coughing is the number 1 reason that people go to their doctor. Each person with a cough might consider speaking with their doctor about their potential for a habit cough diagnosis.
Updated to include "acute" cough (below) by Dr. Weinberger on March 19, 2020
Dr. Weinberger's Habit Cough Diagnosis: The repetitive [daytime/awake] barking cough that is not present once the patient is asleep is the diagnostic criteria. (It might take a while for the patient to fall asleep. It matters whether the cough is not present once asleep; only to return once awake. - Editor note.)
The characteristics of the self-perpetuating [daytime] Habit Cough is its repetitiveness and absence once asleep ~ only to return once awake.
Once the patient meets the diagnostic criteria for [daytime] Habit Cough, even while the repetitive cough is still considered acute (less than 4 weeks), treatment with suggestion therapy [Dr. Weinberger's procedure HERE; in-office, via-telemedicine and by-proxy] is appropriate. There is no need to wait until the [daytime] cough is considered to be chronic (4 weeks/child & 8 weeks/adult)
Multiple patients report that knowledge of Dr. Weinberger's procedure allows them to stop their future [daytime] coughs during the acute period once diagnosis of Habit Cough has been met.
Note: You will see this habit cough diagnosis from 1694 below. "habitual cough, [absent once asleep] which often continues after the first Cough, which was caused by the Cold, is gone,..." [post-viral cough].
Note: You will see this diagnosis that includes adults and absence of cough once asleep from 1685 below: "... viz. [namely] a violent dry Cough following her day and night, unless when she was fallen asleep:..."
Note: Dr. Weinberger is a big proponent of patient interaction with their doctors. Many adults and parents report that they have quite successfully utilized The Weinberger Procedure on themselves or their children with numerous instant cures in the first days of their new acute [daytime] coughs - long before they become "chronic" in length.
They report their cures to their amazed doctors. Please consult with your doctor prior to your use of Dr. Weinberger's Procedure. If you attempt to utilize The Weinberger Procedure on yourself or your child, you are doing this under your own volition.
If you meet the diagnostic criteria as noted above, Dr. Weinberger would like you to communicate with you, and or your doctor (at no cost), and watch this video. HERE
Hippocrates stated - "As to disease, make a habit of two things - to help, or at least to do no harm." Special note: After all the years and years of suffering since habitual cough was first described by Hippocrates, Dr. Weinberger has finally developed a replicable and reliable, "instant & permanent cure" in-office, via-telemedicine AND simply by watching a YouTube documentary.
The first noted, named diagnosis in the document concerning a violent habitual cough of an adult is Tiberius Caesar, in De Vitis Caesarum [On the Vine of Caesars, Chapter 23] .
Note: Even Hippocrates observed what is now known as Habit Cough in and around 450 BC as shown below.
Special note: In the 1685/1694 description/diagnosis (below) of Habitual Cough it does NOT mention the length of the person's cough which, "... [absent once asleep] continues after the first Cough, which was caused by the Cold, is gone." This, too, agrees with Dr. Weinberger's diagnosis of being either acute or chronic in length. (Chronic cough in child >4 weeks. Chronic cough in adults >8 weeks.) Acute cough is the time period lead up to "chronic cough" for each.
Special note: This is almost exactly Dr. Weinberger's diagnosis word for word, if you take into account the use of Olde English versus Modern English: Olde English diagnosis of an adult female from 1685:
viz. [namely] a violent dry Cough following her day and night, unless when she was fallen asleep:..."
Modern English diagnosis: "The repetitive [awake] barking cough that is not present once the patient is asleep is the diagnostic criteria. (It might take a while for the patient to fall asleep. It matters whether the cough is not present once asleep; only to return once awake. - Editor note.)
Special note: Every medical doctor takes the "Hippocratic Oath". We found the 1846 modern English translation "The Writings of Hippocrates and Galen". They spoke a lot about habits AND coughing. "Hippocrates II, was a Greek physician of the classical period who is considered one of the most outstanding figures in the history of medicine. He is traditionally referred to as the "Father of Medicine" in recognition of his lasting contributions to the field, such as the use of prognosis and clinical observation, the systematic categorization of diseases, or the formulation of humoural theory."
Hippocrates of Kos
The Greek Father of Clinical Medicine
Hippocrates Cough PowerPoint presentation HERE
Hippocrates of Kos (/hɪˈpɒkrətiːz/; Greek: Ἱπποκράτης ὁ Κῷος, translit.Hippokrátēs ho Kôios; c. 460 – c. 370 BC), also known as Hippocrates II, was a Greek physician of the classical period who is considered one of the most outstanding figures in the history of medicine.
We found this awesome Hippocrates Habit Cough information by first hearing about "The ‘cough of Perinthos’ epidemic The ‘cough of Perinthos’ epidemic is an influenza-like outbreak, recorded in the Books Epidemics II, Epidemics IV, Epidemics VI and Epidemics VII (52,54,56,57). It occurred in Perinthos, an ancient Greek seaside town on the Sea of Marmara, the inland sea, which connects the Black to the Aegean Sea.

Yes, Hippocrates described/diagnosed what is now known as "Habit Cough" (below). He made no differentiation between a child or adult. (An adult female with Habit Cough was noted in the 1685 medical textbook below, and Tiberius Caesar below was an adult male diagnosed with habitual cough.)
Galen has a great description of what is meant by "habit". Unfortunately, he did not mention habit & cough, so we will have to refer to the Tiberius document (below) for the first written mention of "Habitual [Habitual] Cough".
Hippocrates did not note a cure for Habit Cough. Dr. Weinberger's instant and permanent cure via-telemedicine, in-office and by-proxy via YouTube would have to occur close to 2,000 years later.
Here are some of Hippocrates & Galen's notes and observations of post-viral cough. Hippocrates describes:
"... habitual cough, [absent once asleep] which often continues after the first Cough, which was caused by the Cold, is gone, …" - The Spirit of Diseases (c. 1694)
The example from Hippocrates below says that he was, "... attended with a dry cough." It then states that the "... dry cough still continued. The eleventh (day) the fever abated. ... (he) coughed still ... This, without being named by Hippocrates as "habitual cough," is a fine example of the dry cough remaining or continuing "... after the cold that caused the cough being cured."
Below are 2 examples of Hippocrates observations of "... habitual cough, [absent once asleep] which often continues after the first Cough, which was caused by the Cold, is gone ..." (1694, The Spirit of Diseases, noted below.)
It states, "A fever attended at first for ten days, and a cough succeeded upon their breaking."
This person coughed after their fever had broken. This is common for children and adults with a lingering post-viral cough. This is known as "Habit Cough".
This example, below, from Hippocrates states, "The fever seemed to go off about the seventh (day), but the cough continued."
Tiberius Julius Caesar Augustus The adopted son of Augustus Tiberius Julius Caesar Augustus[a] (/taɪˈbɪəriəs/; 16 November 42 BC – 16 March AD 37) was the second Roman emperor. He reigned from AD 14 until 37, succeeding his stepfather, the first Roman emperor Augustus.
Diagnosed With Habitual [Habit] Cough
"... and Tiberius had merely taken a medicine for an habitual cough, which was continually growing worse." - De Vitis Caesarum [On the Vine of Caesars] Chapter 23
This was an incredible find about the second of The Twelve Caesars known as Tiberius Julius Caesar Augustus.
Easily, Tiberius was attended to by the chief medical doctor of his time.
It cannot be imagined that this was the very first time that someone used the phrase, "habitual [habit] cough." The diagnosis of "habitual cough" must have been around for a while. - Editor
As noted above (and below), Hippocrates and Galen wrote about habits, and described what was diagnosed in Tiberius as "habitual [habit] cough".
"Habit, viz [namely].: that it is a permanent and durable affection, whether that be good or bad; the latter may be such, either simply, or comparatively; but the former is simply so, in the best constitution." - from The Writings of Hippocrates and Galen
From the renowned tome: De Vitis Caesarum [On the Vine of Caesars] Chapter 23, Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus's De Vitis Caesarum: biographies of twelve successive Roman rulers, from Julius Caesar to Domitian.
Louis XIII (King of France, 1610-1643)
Louis XIII (French pronunciation: [lwi tʁɛz]; sometimes called the Just; 27 September 1601 – 14 May 1643) was King of France from 1610 until his death in 1643 and King of Navarre (as Louis II) from 1610 to 1620, when the crown of Navarre was merged with the French crown.
Diagnosed With Habitual [Habit] Cough in 1643
Below, it states about Louis XIII's illness during the winter of 1642 - 1643. "... accompanied by habitual cough."
Louis XIV (King of France, 1643 - 1715)
Louis XIV (Louis Dieudonné; 5 September 1638 – 1 September 1715), also known as Louis the Great (Louis le Grand) or the Sun King (le Roi Soleil), was King of France from 14 May 1643 until his death in 1715. His reign of 72 years and 110 days is the longest recorded of any monarch of a sovereign country in history.
Diagnosed With Post-viral Cough in 1679
Of Louis XIV, it states above, "In 1679, as the result of exposure to inclement weather while hunting, he caught a severe cold that left him for several months with an unpleasant cough." (Cough that remained after the cold that caused the cough had been cured.)
Dr. Thomas Willis, MD, FRS Founding member and Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS)
Dr. Thomas Willis, MD, FRS (27 January 1621 – 11 November 1675) was an English doctor who played an important part in the history of anatomy, neurology and psychiatry.[1] He was a founding member of the Royal Society.
Note: This medical textbook was published 10 years after Dr. Willis' death in 1675. It is believed to be part of a series from the original printing in 1678.
From: The LONDON PRACTICE OF PHYSICK Contained in the First Part of the Pharmaceutice Rationalis of Dr. WILLIS (c. 1685)
Page 265 - Of Convulsions in Adult Persons "Afterword those Convulsions [coughs that were so violent that they were like the convulsive coughs we see HERE] more frequently molested her, and at length becoming periodical and habitual, they return'd twice a day," "viz. [namely] constantly justsomany set hours after Meals;... viz. [namely] a violent dry Cough following her day and night, unless when she was fallen asleep:..."
Dr. Franciscus Mercurius van Helmont Flemish alchemist and writer
Franciscus Mercurius van Helmont (Baptised 20 October 1614 – December 1698[3]) was a Flemish alchemist and writer, the son of Jan Baptist van Helmont. He is now best known for his publication in the 1640s of his father's pioneer works on chemistry, which link the origins of the science to the study of alchemy.
Until these terrific finds, the oldest reference that I knew of was Dr. Berman's 1966 peer reviewed and published paper HERE (and below) about Habit Cough.in Adolescent Children. (This led us to Dr. Weinberger.)
The best part is when, after noting the date: 1694, deciphered the "Olde English" text on the front page and interior. Printed on Lombard St., & George-Yard, London, England. HERE Full text of this medical textbook is located HERE.
What this says is:
"habitual cough, [absent once asleep] which often continues after the first Cough, which was caused by the Cold, is gone," [post-viral cough].
This is also very similar to Dr. Weinberger's modern diagnosis of Habit Cough HERE. It is noted in this document, it does not make any differentiation between children and adults.
The only thing missing was "... absence of cough when the child was sleeping." Dr. Weinberger nailed this part for a perfect diagnostic criteria. As you have seen in the 1685 medical textbook (above), absence once asleep is the most important part of the diagnosis. (This was seen in an adult female.)
Note: They did not explain how to cure "Habitual Cough". The world and we would have to wait 325 years for Dr. Weinberger to rescue and cure children and adults from "Habitual Cough" [Habit Cough]. - Dennis
Here is what the interior text of the 1694 medical textbook says about "Habitual Cough" (best attempt at converting Olde English into modern English).
[Page] 118 Observations concerning
"to endeavor to alleviate and diminish our Cough by little and little, to refrain are coughing as much as possible, and to abstain from much hawking, spitting and loud speaking, and so by this means bring our Life into repose and quiet again.
When our Life therefore any time through Impatience, is stirr’d up into a too vehement Action; it often happens that this produceth a customary or habitual cough, which often continues after the first Cough, which was caused by the Cold, is gone, from which two last Coughs, viz the Impatient and the Habitual Cough, often proceed Consumptions, Tiffick, and other Distempers; because by continual coughing we void much Phlegmy matter, and the more we void of these, the more our strength is diminished; in as much as this Phlegmy matter (which has its Original from the Bones, which are the parts wherein our Life is continually operative) is not found in found in healthy People but elaborated"
Note: No mention of tic. As it states above, basically it is a cough after the first cough that just lingers on (for weeks, months, years, and even decades).

It states above, "The "stomach-cough" being really a habit-cough, ~ a reflex effect persisting after the cause is gone ..." & "...-the treatment of it is to break the habit ..." Special note: It states above "... after the cause is gone ..." Dr. Weinberger has had multiple reports of other "causes" especially anxiety,
Dr. Bernard A. Berman, MD, F.A.C.A. Dr. Berman, who headed a hospital pediatric allergy section, was an associate professor of pediatrics at Tufts University medical school. He served in the Navy in World War II and the Korean conflict before entering private practice treating asthma and allergies.
Dr. Bernard A. Berman, MD, F.A.C.A, from Boston, Massachusetts (1924–1995), who, in 1966 published a manuscript called Habit Cough in Adolescent Children (below). It is based upon 6 children seen over 5 years, all with repetitive barking cough that was absent at night. All were cured by “the power of suggestion.“
Dr. Berman accomplished his non-pharmacologic, instant & permanent cures, utilizing “suggestive therapy” first discovered by Émile Coué de la Châtaigneraie, a French psychologist and pharmacist who introduced a popular method of psychotherapy and self-improvement based on optimistic autosuggestion.
Unfortunately, Dr. Berman passed away before Dr. Weinberger could meet him.
Special note: Developing and utilizing his own variation of suggestion therapy, Dr. Weinberger normally cured the afflicted child during 15–30 minutes of their 1-hour visit. He says that curing so many children, so rapidly, and so completely, was “… very satisfying”. He always believed and insisted that the “… recovery procedure” was as important as the cure. Habit Cough in Adolescent Children, Annals of Allergy, Volume 24, January, 1966
Below, Dr. Berman comments on, "The phenomenon of habit cough ..." & "... providing support, and comfort during the period of treatment, and utilizing the art of suggestion. All six children improved and have been free of cough during a long-term period of observation."
Dr. Miles Weinberger, MD. Professor Emeritus of Pediatrics, University of Iowa
Visiting Clinical Professor of Pediatrics, University of California San Diego, Rady Children's Hospital www.MilesWeinberger.com
Before the Internet made the world of medicine and medical research a much smaller place, treatment of the worst cases of refractory chronic cough in children and adults was performed in pulmonary, otolaryngology, and neurology clinics around the USA and across the world. Well-intentioned but factitious diagnoses were common, and treatment was erratic. Consequently, there was rarely a permanent cure, so the patient and family were left to suffer with a daily cough that severely altered the quality of life. The exception was those few physicians who would think outside of the box and approach a repetitive cough that was absent during sleep as a functional disorder, meaning there was no organic bases for cough. — One of those physicians was Miles Weinberger, a Board certified Allergist and Pediatric Pulmonologist who began and directed the Pediatric allergy and pulmonary clinic at the University of Iowa Hospital and Clinics from 1975 to 2015.
Children with chronic cough were evaluated and those with physical disorders such as protracted bacterial bronchitis, asthma, bronchiectasis, and tracheomalacia were identified and effectively treated.
For those children with no physical or organic cause of the cough, habit cough was identified and a simple behavioral method, suggestion therapy, stopped coughing in the clinic.
Patients were taught to use the technique they learned in the clinic at home when needed; that was known as autosuggestion. The results were so amazing that doctors and specialists at renowned medical centers around the world “typically” and “routinely” refer their worst case scenarios to HabitCough.com to watch and be instantly and permanently cured from their intractable chronic cough.
From 1975 through 2015, Dr. Miles Weinberger, MD,
Dr. Weinberger, is a pediatric pulmonologist, immunologist, asthma, and cough researcher, who founded and operated his pediatric chronic cough clinic with great success and the cure of many children. He is now retired and living in California. He is continuing his cough research and is currently Visiting Professor of Pediatrics, University of California, San Diego as well as Professor Emeritus, University of Iowa.
"Watching Dr. Weinberger instantly and permanently cure our forsaken daughter on Skype was like witnessing the discovery of penicillin ~ and filming it! Now, to be cured, all that children and adults need to do is watch a YouTube video. - Dennis
Throughout his Pediatric Allergy & Pulmonary Clinic years, scared parents would arrive from around the country, with their children suffering from chronic cough for a chance to be seen by Dr. Weinberger or one of his colleagues, when all hope was lost.
Most had already been seen by multiple physicians, been given various tests, and trials of medication, all without benefit. They would normally be seen for an hour. In that hour, the presentation of habit cough was sufficiently characteristic that the diagnosis was made, treatment by suggestion therapy was provided and the child would be cured, an average of 7 per year.
"Over the years since then I've applied your methods [Dr. Weinberger's procedure] many times with near universal success. I can't tell you how many patients you've helped. Over the years I've also routinely advised my fellows to read your papers." Cured! "...[the patient's] incessant cough stopped within seconds", [via a telemedicine visit] "... and her [mother's] jaw dropped." - NT, MD, FAAP, FCCP, D, ABSM, Associate Professor of Clinical Pediatrics Note: Normally the cure takes minutes. - This unsolicited email even surprised Dr. Weinberger.
Unexpected and Unintended Cure of Habit Cough by Proxy, Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, August 22, 2019. Cured by watching a peer reviewed and published YouTube documentary everywhere in the world.
Above, Dr. Weinberger states: "In early February 2019, I received an e-mail from the father of a 12-year-old girl with a 3-month history of a repetitive daily cough that was absent once asleep. His online search for help led to me. He and his daughter were at a location 3000 miles from me. Her pediatric pulmonologist was prescribing inhaled corticosteroids, which were providing no benefit. Because she met the criteria for habit cough, I undertook, for the first time, delivering my usual suggestion therapy via Skype. Cessation (cure) of cough occurred within 15 minutes. The girl’s father recorded the procedure and created a website (www.habitcough.com) that contained his daughter’s history and an audiovisual recording.
Although the outcome of this patient’s treatment via Skype was a satisfying experience, an unexpected and unintended effect of the(YouTube) video was subsequently reported to me. I received unsought e-mails from the parents of 3 children and 2 adults, indicating that watching the young girl respond to suggestion therapy in the (YouTube) video resulted in cessation (cure) of their chronic cough. & The mother, a pediatric nurse, had seen the (YouTube) video at www.habitcough.com and asked her son to sit by her and watch the video. The mother indicated that “he immediately identified with [the patient]; he jumped right into it and stopped coughing.” An e-mail more than a month later indicated that the previous coughing was still no longer present"
Special note: Dr. Weinberger's World Habit Cough Cure Map, HERE contains unsolicited submissions from doctors at major medical centers, adult patients, and parents of child patients with their illness, diagnosis, acute and chronic cure and recovery stories. (Cures occur in multiple languages.)
The characteristics of habit cough that permitted almost instant diagnosis was the frequent repetitive cough that was absent once the child was asleep. This (below) is Dr. Weinberger's full length, "peer reviewed and published" habit cough cure documentary which is "based on scientific evidence; not just historical practice." It is available at no cost or fee on YouTube. This documentary is referred to, in multiple peer reviewed and published papers. The original is held in the video library at The American Thoracic Society (ATS).
All of Dr. Weinberger's research is noted in his 80+ page CV HERE.
Here is more of Dr. Weinberger's cough cure research that is "based on scientific evidence; not just historical practice."
This peer reviewed and published cough cure research manuscript was requested of Dr. Weinberger by the editor of Lung. He asked that Dr. Weinberger write a very detailed paper about his brilliant research into "Habit Cough and Its Variations". Note: This was years before his medical paradigm shifting telemedicine video call to Bethany. It is easy to describe as brilliant based upon what has happened since Bethany's call in 2019.
This is one of the first unsolicited submissions to Dr. Miles Weinberger, University of Iowa, Cough Cure Clinic Founder. It is quite wonderfully shocking.
As noted in the beginning of this story, Abby, from Australia had an unexplained, 5 year, daytime only, violent, and tortuous chronic cough. No medicine, doctor or hospital could diagnose, treat, suppress, let alone cure it. When all else failed & hope was lost, she was instantly and permanently cured in minutes, simply by watching a free YouTube documentary. Abby filmed her cure.
From Kim Cutler, Old Bar, NSA, Australia - "I lay awake at night crying as mothers do when their child is suffering and not living their best life ~ You guys know how it goes ~ It’s a horrific cough~ it’s a loud honk/bark~ people want to run and climb trees to get away from it ~ people judge~ and try to diagnose my child with Whooping Cough, Croup, Bronchitis this list goes on and on ~ the death stares!
I lay awake at night and cry.
I type into google Chronic Cough~ Bad Cough~ Horrific Cough ~ night after night for weeks and weeks.
FINALLY - I type in “My child coughs 100 times per minute”, and there is Bethany!
I cry for what you guys have been through but I feel no longer alone knowing Abby is not the only one with this horrific cough.
It’s the middle of the night I want to wake up Abby to ask her permission to email Dr Weinberger.
Frightened it’s a hoax and scared all at the same time I email him which leads to a phone call, which leads Abby sitting by her iPad undergoing Dr Weinberger treating Bethany with his magical ‘Suggestion Therapy’.
To Abby’s excitement, she was able to control her coughing through the half hour session video!
Hallelujah, we have found the medicine she needs to cure this awful illness."
Good examples of violent and convulsive habit coughs. Note: Ella (shown in the YouTube documentary above) coughed so violently and long at more than 20,000+/day that her cough sounded like a whisper. Dr. Weinberger called and cured her via a Skype call in mere minutes.
You can search the map above for a medical doctor or hospital in your area, for diagnosis, treatment and recovery.
More and more referring doctors at medical centers around the world (below) are typically and routinely referring their most dire cough cases to Dr. Miles Weinberger, MD, when all diagnoses, medicine, treatment and procedures have failed. Note: If it works so well for the most serious acute and chronic coughs; just imagine what it could do for your mystery cough.
These unsolicited reported cures occur simply by watching Dr. Weinberger's YouTube documentary, in-office, and via-telemedicine. Sounds quite unusual, but Dr. Weinberger's video documentary is peer reviewed and published. The original is held in the video vault at The American Thoracic Society (ATS).

Even with so many name changes for habit cough over the centuries, the diagnosis, Dr. Weinberger's curative treatment, and recovery remains the same. Nothing previous has been replicably, and effectively providing instant and permanent cures in-office, via-telemedicine, AND by-proxy. Dr. Weinberger's procedure is available in multiple languages around the world. (Click on the map above for more unsolicited cures.)
Replicably and instantly cured - when all else fails - in children and adults with peer reviewed and published, The Weinberger Procedure. Completely drug free.
1. Habit Cough (HC) first described as what is known now as "post infectious," "post-viral," "lingering," "dry" cough by Hippocrates and diagnosed in adults (Tiberius Caesar.) - Completely drug free. Instant and permanent chronic cough cure in-office 1966 & "by proxy" and via-telemedicine in 2019. No cost or fee. Drug free cure of "acute" and "chronic" Habit Cough 2021. Utilized by doctors at over 70 renowned worldwide medical centers. Easily replicable cures for ages 3 - 60+ years old, and available in English, Spanish, Mandarin, German, Turkish, North Macedonian (translators needed HERE). No in-office visit needed (after your doctor's consultation and referral). This is what makes Dr. Weinberger's Procedure cure "by proxy" so revered by medical doctors around the world. "... a fascinating and quite intelligible compilation of clinical wisdom that should be broadly shared with those that treat children."
2. Chronic Cough (CC)* (Hippocrates) - Antitussive drugs. No cough cure.
3. Chronic Dry Cough (CDC)* (1784) - Antitussive drugs. No cough cure.
4. Pertussis (Whooping/Hooping cough)* (1670) - Antitussive drugs. Cough cure.
5. Chronic Rhinitis (Post Nasal Drip)* (1868) - Antitussive drugs. No cough cure.
6. Tourette Syndrome (TS)* (1885) (Tic or cough debate HERE) - Antitussive & Tourette drugs. No cough cure, because it is a tic; not a cough. Special note: Dr. Weinberger has consulted with parents whose children had been diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome. They had a secondary concern. It was a mystery, unexplained cough that Dr. Weinberger diagnosed (... cough absent once asleep; only to return once awake.) as habit cough. The example parent contacted Dr. Weinberger, as he was able to easily discern that his son's cough was separate AND distinct from the known tic. Great example story HERE.

9. Neurogenic Cough (NC)* (1947) - Antitussive drugs. No cough cure.
10. Psychogenic Cough (PC)* (1966) (Tic or cough debate HERE) - Antitussive drugs. No cough cure. Note: The following was included in this document. "In adults or children with chronic cough, we suggest that the presence or absence of night time cough or cough with a barking or honking character should not be used to diagnose or exclude psychogenic or habit cough." << This is counter to Dr. Weinberger's diagnosis and that from the 1685 document above.

"Prevention Better than Cure" ~ really? Is anything better than a cure? Cured cough = no transmission of cough aerosol virus spray.
A comprehensive list of antitussive drugs is located HERE.
The most important takeaway from the actual "peer reviewed and published" manuscript is when they actually state "... great placebo effect" will provide relief. [really?] Relief, yes! No mention of a cough cure; just "relief"; via the "... great placebo effect." "Although there is much criticism of the lack of evidence of efficacy of OTC cough medicines a case can be made that all of these medicines will provide relief from cough because of their great placebo effect."
"Because of lack of proven efficacy, and safety and abuse issues with current OTC antitussives, there is a great need for new antitussives." [Maybe Dr. Weinberger's procedure for acute and chronic cough cures?] - Antitussives - Respiratory System - Paul Rutter PhD, FRPharmS, FFRPS, SFHEA, in Community Pharmacy, 2021 - HERE
It is worth repeating from above
From: Acute Cough—Does Anything Help? - "Unfortunately, the majority of therapies available are currently recommended based on historical practice rather than on scientific evidence." & "For acute coughs due to the common cold or another upper respiratory infection, there are many OTC products available, but none of them have been proven effective in treating a cough." - Emily M. Ambizas, PharmD, MPH, BCGP Associate Clinical Professor St. John’s University, College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences Queens, New York.
Special note: Dr. Weinberger's acute and chronic cough cure research is indeed "based on scientific evidence; rather than on historical practice."
Over-the-counter medicine and children
Dr. Weinberger is well versed in the “honey” treatment. He co-authored a peer-reviewed and published manuscript titled:
“Nonprescription medications for respiratory symptoms: Facts and marketing fictions” - Weinberger, M.
Alongside honey, his manuscript also included dextromethorphan, also known as DX, or DXM, as a potential antitussive treatment (not a cure).
Very Important - Be careful about giving over-the-counter (OTC) medicines to children. Not all over-the-counter medicines are recommended for children of certain ages. (Especially dextromethorphan)
Honey is not a permanent cure; but only an ineffective temporary treatment, as noted below. (Yes, they seriously can only recommend honey or a cough lozenge.)
Honey for acute cough in children (Peer reviewed and published) “Honey may be better than ‘no treatment’, diphenhydramine and placebo for the symptomatic relief of cough, but it is not better than dextromethorphan. None of the included studies assessed the effect of honey on ‘cough duration’ because intervention and follow-up were for one night only. There is no strong evidence supporting or against the use of honey.” - "In the meantime, if parents want/need to give something, why not honey?" - Paediatrics & Child Health -
Amazingly, honey and sugar recipe variations were also considered treatment (not cure) for cough in medieval times dating back to the 8th century.
We researched in vain throughout history for some type of lost or little-known cough cure. None. Just honey or sugar, like today.
Heroin for cough suppression. Heroin NEVER cured a cough.
Heroin (diacetylmorphine), now illegal as an addictive drug, was introduced as a non-addictive substitute for morphine, and trademarked and marketed by Bayer from 1898 to 1910 as a cough suppressant and over-the-counter treatment for other common ailments, including pneumonia and tuberculosis. Bayer scientists were not the first to make heroin, but the company led the way in commercializing it. Heroin was a Bayer trademark until after World War I. Bayer's director of pharmacology did not want the drug to have "too complicated a name" so Bayer settled on heroisch, the German word for heroic.
Must read: Special information about Dextromethorphan (DXM or DM). ***Dextromethorphan is VERY dangerous.***
"Adolescents' misuse of over-the-counter medications is a growing patient safety concern, resulting in an alarming number of poisonings and emergency department visits," the study states. "OTC medications are easily accessible and adolescents often have the misconception that these medications are safe, even at higher than recommended doses," -and-. "Dextromethorphan and acetaminophen are the most common and frequently misused OTC medications among adolescents, with significantly dangerous health risks if used improperly." - Adolescents' Misuse of Over-The-Counter Medications: The Need for Pharmacist-led Intervention
Dextromethorphan (DXM or DM) is not a cure for cough and is a severely limited antitussive. Dextromethorphan does not cure a cough.
From Dr. Weinberger - "Dextromethorphan is in nonprescription preparations as an antitussive. Its efficacy has been compared with placebo and honey in children ages 2 to 18 years. The honey and dextromethorphan were blinded.33 Dextromethorphan was little better than placebo, whereas honey provided the greatest benefit."
From Wikipedia, “It [Dextromethorphan] is in the morphinan class of medications with sedative, dissociation, and stimulant properties (at lower doses). Dextromethorphan possesses only a minimal degree of the mu-opioid activity typical of morphinan compounds and exerts its therapeutic effects through several other receptors. In its pure form, dextromethorphan occurs as a white powder.”
Dextromethorphan (DXM or DM was patented in 1949 and approved for medical use in 1953.) is a medication most often used as a cough suppressant (not a permanent cure) in over-the-counter cold and cough medicines. It is sold in syrup, tablet, spray, and lozenge forms.
Interesting note: It has been referenced (Verified from a U.S. Government .mil website - Washington Headquarters Services) that DXM was successfully tested in 1954 as part of US Navy and CIA-funded research on nonaddictive substitutes for codeine as an antitussive. It also blocks the NMDA glutamate receptor at high doses, which produces effects similar to other dissociative anesthetics such as ketamine, nitrous oxide, and phencyclidine (PCP), [and Salvia divinorum].”
The Memorandum for The Secretary of Defense states: "Experimentation Programs Conducted by the Department of Defense That Had CIA Sponsorship or Participation and That Involved the Administration to Human Subjects of Drugs intended for Mind-control or Behavior-modification Purposes."
“Laboratory studies suggest that dissociative drugs, including PCP, ketamine, and DXM, cause their effects by disrupting the actions of the brain chemical glutamate at certain types of receptors — called N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors — on nerve cells throughout the brain.” (Morgan, 2012; Morris, 2005)
It states above: "... as including the administration of drugs to human subjects for mind-control or behavior-modification purposes."
More from the DXM document. "It appears that the researcher tested some 800 compounds on addicted patients. There is no indication in the documents as to the number of persons involved or the compounds tested. Three compounds were retained and all are now common drugs: Darvon which is used as a pain killer; dextromethorphan which is used in cough syrup; and Lomotil which is used as an antidiarrhea drug."
Very important: Unfortunately, DXM is also used recreationally. “When exceeding approved dosages, dextromethorphan acts as a dissociative hallucinogen. It has multiple mechanisms of action, including actions as a nonselective serotonin reuptake inhibitor and a sigma-1 receptor agonist. DXM and its major metabolite, Dextromethorphan (DXM or DM) is not a cure for cough and is a severely limited antitussive.
Epilogue and future of Dr. Weinberger's Procedure — in-office, by-proxy (YouTube documentary) and via-telemedicine, instant & permanent cure for acute and chronic habit cough
Dr. Weinberger writes: “Habit Cough causes considerable morbidity, including well-intentioned iatrogenesis, unneeded testing, unnecessary medication, and even hospitalization. Several variations of suggestion are well documented as curative for habit cough.
The current unanticipated and unintended observations reported in 3 children and 2 adults demonstrate further the amenability of habit cough to suggestion. The clinical characteristics of habit cough are sufficiently distinct that the diagnosis can be made by the typical history of a repetitive harsh, barking, or honking cough, occurring up to several times per minute, that is absent once asleep.
No testing is needed for diagnosis, and no medications are needed for treatment. Knowledge and skillful interaction with the patient are the tools for diagnosing and treating this disorder.”
He continues, “The bottom line is that allergists and immunologists or pulmonologists who encounter these patients should recognize the disorder based on the unique clinical characteristics and avoid excessive and unnecessary testing and therapeutic trials.
The diagnosis should not be one of default after excluding all other causes of CC. That approach only adds to further quality-of-life impairment. The clinical characteristics of Habit Cough are sufficiently recognizable that a diagnosis is generally possible based on a history and physical examination.”
From Patient Worthy — Dr. Weinberger states that he has provided the information about habit cough and its simple treatment to others in his field through a list-serve used by pediatric pulmonologists. Unfortunately, primary care physicians may still be unaware of the habit cough. As a result, these children are often referred to otolaryngologists and neurologists who also are not knowledgeable about habit cough. That results in excessive diagnostic procedures and trials of medication. This causes delays and causes suffering for the patient and family. Dr. Weinberger asks, “If the parents can go to the web and find out about habit cough, then why couldn’t the doctor?”
From the Editor
Few medical doctors in history can be pointed to, who have achieved this level of instantaneous and permanent, curative medicine for such a relentless and vicious acute and chronic & incurable cough after all else failed.
Even fewer people have witnessed a successful medical procedure so astounding — and memorialized it on video. Dr. Miles Weinberger, MD, instantly and indeed, permanently cured our daughter of refractory, medically unexplained acute and chronic cough.
I filmed it, or even I would not even believe what I saw! Now, our daughter Bethany’s ‘miracle’ Weinberger Procedure — for acute and chronic cough diagnosed as habit cough cure by-proxy ~ is available to permanently cure adults and children.
It is free, and non-pharmacologic in their own language; everywhere around the world, via YouTube documentary video.
This is Dr. Weinberger’s gift to the hopeless, helpless, forsaken and lost everywhere. (The Weinberger Procedure via-telemedicine might certainly be provided with a cost determined by your doctor.)
The world medical community will soon take a collective pause at this new paradigm in curative medicine, and then applaud Dr. Miles Weinberger, MD, Board certified Allergist and Pediatric Pulmonologist for his fierce and relentless acute and chronic cough research.
This is his long hoped for, but unexpected and unintended, medical mystery cure discovery. The world will call it, ‘The Weinberger Procedure by-proxy’ & and via-telemedicine.
Special observation: Jennifer and I often wondered if antibiotics might be a cause for Bethany's Habit Cough. These publications describe what we still know as Habit Cough. It is from the times of Tiberius. There were no antibiotics during the life of Tiberius. We have removed any thought that there might be any causation / correlation with antibiotics and OUR daughter's Habit Cough.
Note: All referenced diagnostic terms above are the first noted direct references as the "exact term" in Google.com book search sorted by date. PubMed, or Wikipedia. Other earlier references might exist. If you know of any earlier writings or manuscripts, please let me know. It is unknown if ALL the linked information is peer reviewed, but it certainly was published on highly respected websites. Each of these diagnoses and terms was referenced by people who have communicated with me and reported their instant cures. Thanks.
