Organization of the organism.
The organism is a complex system of energy, matter
and intelligence. The intelligence controls the activity
of the organism.
The divine structure of the organism is directed
through energetic controls known as the four forces
in physics.
The principle of Complementary Structure and Function
governs the relationship of growth and development.
Organization of the organism:

Responsiveness
Referred to as irritability, or ability to
sense changes (stimuli) in the
environment and respond to them.
This includes pain reflex, lack of
oxygen, temperature sensation
responses. All are necessary to survive
due to changes in the environment.
Responsiveness
Sensory Nervous/Integumentary System
Chemical Sensory /Detoxification System
Excretion System

into the bloodstream. The nutrients are
then carried to the cells of the body.
This function services the total
organism.

Nutrients
Foods contain the chemical substances
used for energy and cell building
including carbohydrates, vitamins,
minerals, proteins and fats. Selected
minerals and vitamins are necessary for
cellular function and for oxygen
transport in the blood.
Oxygen
All nutrients are useless unless oxygen
is also available. Chemical reactions that
release energy from foods are oxidative
reactions and require oxygen.
Without oxygen cells can only survive a
few minutes. We gain and use oxygen
from the air via respiration and
cardiovascular systems.
Water
Water, an inorganic compound,
comprises 60-80% of the volume of
most living cells. It has incredible
versatility in its various physical states
as liquid, gas or solid, reflecting
dynamic properties. As a fluid, it creates
an environment for chemical reactions,
body secretions and excretion.
Thermal Regulation
If chemical reactions are to continue to
sustain life, normal body temperature
must be maintained. If the temperature
drops below 98 degrees F., metabolic
reactions become slower and slower. If
it becomes too high chemical reactions
occur too rapidly, and body proteins
lose their integrity. Thermal regulation
is largely due to muscle mass.
Balance
The survival factors alone don’t sustain
life, but without them there is no life.
Also, if there is too much or too little of
any one of them the homeostasis of the
body systems can become jeopardized.
Homeodynamic Regulation

Homeostasis/Homeodynamics
Communication within the body is
essential to maintain homeodynamics.
Communication is accomplished chiefly
by the nervous system and endocrine
system using electrical signals or bloodborne hormones as information carriers.
Control systems need communication
and feedback.
Control Feedback Systems
Stimulus (The Variable)
Receptor (Sensor)
Using Afferent Pathway
Control Center Creates Set Point
Using Efferent Pathway
Effector (Feedback)
Changing the Stimulus
Positive & Negative Feedback
Positive: exaggeration of the original
stimulus so that the activity or output is
accelerated.
Negative: reduction of the original
stimulus in order to reduce or minimize
the activity.
Feedback Systems
Hormone Production
Blood Clotting
Glucose/Insulin
Glucagon/Glucose Reserves
Cardiovascular Blood Pressure
Psycho-Emotional Response
Psycho-Sensory Response
Disease
“Homeostasis is so important that most
disease is regarded as a result of its
disturbance, a condition called
homeostatic imbalance.”
Marieb pg 11
Meridian Healing System
The meridian system is used to heal the
body. The information needed to aid in
tissue repair is carried in the
photometric energy flow. If the tissues
are severely damaged or the meridian
flow is reduced, the healing process is
much slower.
Energy Flow
The meridians flow throughout the
body, including the teeth. Its flow
creates coherency. Disturbed energy
flow in any area in the body will impair
the necessary flow of information.
These areas are called “foci”.
Assessment of Focal Disturbances
Patient Intake
Functional Relationship Correlates
Re-occurrences (chicken pox-shingles)

Healing process, events and results.
Objective Methods
Survey the overall energetic conditions
Assess the body’s resistance capacity
Discover the weakness of specific organs
Determine stress of organs: acute,
chronic, or overstress
Determine organ of involvement: the key
organ disturbing overall coherence
Objective Methods cont:
Unravel cause and effect relationships—
otherwise known as the causal chain
Determine the “source” of the causal
chain: functional-physiological and/or
psycho-physiological.
Disease is goal oriented.
According to the principles of
homotoxicology, the disease process is
progressive. As one organ or gland
becomes weakened to the point of malfunction, symptoms progressively stem
from deeper and more complicated
cause-and-effect relationships with
other related organs and glands.
Foci-Focal Disturbances
Fields of disturbance or Focal
Disturbances can be caused by various
influences on the body.
The influence of these disturbances
involves functional distress to the body’s
capacity to be responsive to continued
stressors.
Additional Discovery
Discover uncovered processes in motion
Find focal infections
Energetic/functional assessment organs
Immune system and related glands
Quantity of available energy: weak/strong
Overall health constitution
Emotional stress and disturbances
Finding refractory effects such as allergies
Be Process Oriented
Focus on the process of creating
balance in the body rather than
avoiding or negating the presenting
symptoms.
Symptoms are not the cause of the
illness, nor is the alleviation of
symptoms the presence of health.
Etiology of Chronic Illness
Retoxification—Impaired Enzymes
Reduced Immune Function
Poisoning
Local Infection—Chronic Viral/Bacterial

Individuation and Affinity
The effects of a toxin are completely
individualized due to the adaptability,
responsiveness and capacity of the
organism.
The specific affinity of a particular toxin
to a particular organ or organ system is
more easily found. Symptoms are multifaceted.

It has been found that over 500 specific
symptoms have been linked to chronic
Candida infection. Due to the various
strains found and metabolic responses
within the organism, it becomes difficult
to actually quantify the impact of such
an infection on the organism.

Impaired Energy Flow
There is growing evidence that there is
a link between physiological and
psychological imbalances and energy.
Any impairments to energy flow,
regardless of the cause, eventually
affect physical function, repair, and
relationship within the organ systems of
the body.
Stress and Toxic Affinity
“Furthermore, we know that during
periods of excessive stress, emotional
or physical, people inadvertently absorb
toxins they had previously resisted.”
Dr. Helmut Schimmel
Functional Medicine Pg. 60
Biological Window
Functional limitations in either sending
or receiving photometric information
and energy within a cell or organ
represent a “refraction within the
biological window.” Such refractions
disturb coherency, including the quality
and clarity of information and the ability
to act upon it.
Photometric Information
Because much of the inner-communication is
light-bearing, polarized light activates many
functions within the body. For example,
amino acids, which are constantly degrading
and resynthesizing throughout the body, are
classified to “bend polarized light.” L-forms
bend the light to the left and D-forms bend
the light to the right.
Dr. Donald Lepore
The Ultimate Healing System
Causal Chain
Organ Relationships


The organs send and receive energy from one
another in a specific cycle. The cycles include
tonification and action. If there is a functional
imbalance, it effects an energetic and later
physiological disturbance in the matrix.
The physiological or “functional switches” within
the matrix or mesenchymal tissue cannot fully
activate and therefore impair the flow of energy
and communication within the body.

This broadening of the patterns stems
from the energetic relationship between
the pancreas and the prostate or the
pancreas with the ovaries respectively.

Culminating with heart and circulatory
disturbances originating from respiratory
irritation affecting C3 and C4, and the
phrenic nerve. This in turn may cause
blood circulation disorders in the vertebral
artery. Reduced diaphragmatic and
cardiac functions can finally result in a
disturbance of the peripheral circulation,
including the kidneys.

Always Know the “What”
As a practitioner, you will know the
“what.” It is important for you to learn
to know the “why” and then teach the
principles well enough so that the client
gains a knowledge that they can relate
to, understand, and implement.
The Philosophy of Balance
Focus on empowering the client, not on
your performance as a practitioner.
Focus on the process of balance, not on
the outcome or resolution of their
presenting symptomatology.
Client Projection and Ego
It’s easy as a practitioner to “look”
smart in order to make the client “need”
you. It is much more difficult when
consulting to eliminate your ego while
empowering the client.
If the client projects onto the
practitioner, the process does not lead
toward ultimate healing.
