About The Kortum Technique

What Is The Kortum Technique?



A Breakthrough in Intuitive Health Diagnostics


The Kortum Technique is a unique diagnostic system developed over nearly four decades by John Kortum, a self-described biological intuitive. From a young age, Kortum realized he could perceive health-related information simply by looking at people. Initially uncertain about what he was experiencing, his curiosity and persistence led him to refine his abilities, ultimately validating his method in a clinical medical practice in Maryland.


Now taught on a limited basis, the Kortum Technique is a powerful tool for recognizing physical imbalances in the body long before symptoms necessarily arise.



How It Works


The technique is based on the appearance of visual indicators in the body—subtle, consistent signals associated with the major organ systems. These indicators are present in both men and women, though some are gender-specific, and they are categorized by degrees of severity:


  • 1st Degree – mild or emerging imbalance; may be asymptomatic
  • 2nd Degree – moderate imbalance; symptoms may be present
  • 3rd Degree – significant imbalance; likely correlates with an existing diagnosis


For example, a person showing a “Blood Indicator” may be dealing with issues related to the components of the blood- such as anemia, nutrient deficiencies, or even blood cancers. The system doesn’t offer a diagnosis, but points clearly to the area of concern so action can be taken early.



What the Indicators Reveal


Each organ system may reveal:


  • Whether it is currently in balance or out of balance
  • Whether there was an imbalance in the past
  • Whether it is at risk for a future imbalance
  • The degree of imbalance (1st, 2nd, or 3rd)


This system allows practitioners—and eventually even clients themselves- to observe and respond to the body's own early warning system. A first-degree imbalance might carry no physical symptoms but still signal that something needs to change before disease manifests.



The Emotional Link: Perceptual Vitality


Over time, Kortum also discovered that each physical indicator correlates with a “perceptual vitality”—a type of emotional or psychological resonance associated with that organ system. For example:


  • A person with a Blood Indicator may need to consider the quality of intimacy in their relationships, or how openly they connect with others.
  • This emotional awareness is not a substitute for medical care but a complement to it.


The Kortum Technique encourages the individual to explore both physical and emotional imbalances, offering a more holistic path to health.



Why It Matters


This is a scientifically validated, non-invasive, and deeply intuitive diagnostic system. It does not claim to diagnose or treat disease directly- but rather points to imbalances that can (and should) be explored further, often leading to early intervention, deeper self-awareness, or preventative care.


Everyone can benefit from a Kortum reading. It's your body's way of speaking—are you listening?



A Practitioner’s Perspective


I am naturally skeptical about all healing modalities. I will not include anything in my practice- or in my personal life- unless I’ve seen it deliver real, consistent results.


I have witnessed enough to confidently say:
 The Kortum Technique works.
