Biointegrative Health Assessment E-Book Outline and Topics Covered
I. Introduction
- Mission and Purpose
- A Major Aspect of Care Many Natural Healthcare Professionals Continue to Overlook.
- A Significant Gap Education that Severely Limits Earning Potential.
II. The Indispensable Nature of Testing and Measuring
- Identifying the Specific Effects of Modern Stresses on our Energetics &
Reconciling and Integrating Eastern and Energetic Concepts of Healing
with Western Concepts of Medicine.
- The manifestation of disease within the 6 Distinct Phases (layers) of Homotoxicology
and regression of illness as developed by the German Physician Dr. Hans-Heinrich Reckeweg In 1955.
- The relationship of Homotoxicology and the Shan Han Lun, a Traditional Chinese medicine treatise compiled before 220 AD. Both emphasizing the importance of addressing the underlying patterns of disharmony as relating to External and Internal Pathogenic Factors. (Toxicity)
III. The Bioenergetic Terrain: The Foundation Upon Which All Therapies Rest
- Identifying The Tendency Toward Bioenergetic & Metabolic Balance or Imbalance.
- Identifying The Propensity for the Manifestation of Health or Illness.
- Identifying The Directional Movement of the Body's Energetics & Chemistry.
- Identifying Both The Bioenergetic and Biochemical Equilibrium.
IV. Why We Measure
- Understanding Why Symptoms Are a Poor Standard In Judging Health.
- Addressing All Three Levels of Care - Relief Care, Corrective Care,
Wellness Care.
V. Rapid, Simple, Inexpensive Tests You Will Perform on Every Patient Regardless of Age or Condition That Will Guarantee Patient Compliance, Improve Therapeutic Outcomes and
Substantially Increase Your Practice Income.
Practitioners will learn the appropriate procedures and familiarize themselves with the
scientific references and pertinent patient information handouts and scoring sheets in
order to perform these measurements on patients proficiently and accurately.
1. Adrenal Balance - Distinguishing symptomatology between adrenal fatigue and adrenal stress. Adrenal function as a measurement of chronic inflammation.
2. Bowel Ecology Balance - Rational and importance of assessing bowel ecology balance or imbalance from both an energetic and physiological perspective. 70% of your immunity and even many neurotransmitters are dependent upon this one factor.
​
A) The Microbiome – the biology and energetics of its structure and function - it’s relationship to Middle Heater Regulation Dynamics from an Oriental Medicine perspective
B) The Abdominal Brain, the Enteric Nervous System, and Gastrointestinal Immunity.
Exposure to and discussion of the scientific findings and practical application regarding GI Ecology as per:
Michael Gershon - (Chairman of the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology at New
York Prespyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center)
Gerald Karsenty - (Chair of the Department of Genetics and Development at Columbia University Medical Center)
Emeran Mayer - (Professor of Physiology, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the
David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California,
Los Angeles (U.C.L.A.)
3. Digestive Enzyme Balance - determining proper Protein, Carbohydrate,and Fat digestion.
4. Electrolyte Polarity Dynamics - Electrical charges between and within cells as a manifestation of qi or life force. Electrical potential of the cell and the extra cellular matrix. cells can be either under-powered or overcharged and inflamed.
5. Toxic Burden - Heavy Metal and Chemical Stress - some of the most potent accelerators of poor health and premature aging, toxic metals and chemicals increase free radical activity enormously and and interfere with the proper utilization of essential nutrients. Rational and importance of assessing Heavy Metal and Chemical Stress and the Efficiency of one’s Detoxification Mechanisms, from both an energetic and physiological perspective. The widespread and growing evidence of the problem of environmental toxicity. Chronic, even low level toxicity as an inhibitor of both energetic therapies (acupuncture, homeopathy, chiropractic, etc.) and physiological therapies (nutritional, herbal, and other natural remedies).
6. Nitric Oxide Balance - The cell signaling, information transfer function of Nitric Oxide.
The major biochemical and metabolic pathways of Nitric Oxide production. an important messenger molecule for basic cell signaling.
7. Oxidation Stress - A measure of true cellular stress and potential damage due to free
radicals. Free radicals and oxidation/reduction in health and illness. The necessity of
free radical production and the impact of excess free radicals and oxidation stress on both physiological and energetic cell signaling mechanisms. The causes of excess free radical production and excess oxidation and the role of antioxidants.
8. pH Balance - too much acid creates a breeding ground for poor health and accelerated
aging and causes damage to DNA. Too much alkalinity can be problematic as well. The meaning and importance of urine and saliva pH.
9. Sugar Utilization - Efficient sugar metabolism as a component of energy production for healing as well a overall function and mobility.
​
10. Specific Gravity - used to calculate digestive enzyme balance and hydration.
11. Vitamin C Balance - The indispensable and foundational role of Vitamin C in hundreds of biological processes in the body. A review of some of its most important functions as it relates to health, aging and bio-energetic / bio-information transfer.
12. Mineral Balance - the locomotive for vitamins and intracellular enzymes. The biochemical processes and bio-signaling, electro-information transfer functions of minerals. Due to the reciprocal nature of minerals, they cannot be considered in isolation as many depend on each other for effect. Ionic (charged) minerals and there role in “re-educating” biological processes beyond their physical actions - Information transfer and proper mineral balance.
VI. Utilizing Self Correcting /Self Healing Mechanisms
- Introduction to and Application of Homo-toxicology and Homeopathy.
- The Extracellular Matrix and Ground Regulation (the workings of a suitable cellular environment)
- Laying The Foundation Upon Which All Therapy Rests.
- Understanding and Even Avoiding so called "Detox Reactions."
VII. Explanation of Initial Measurement Results.
- Understanding the interrelationships of the initial measurements taken and the methods of prioritizing their importance.
- Understanding the need for additional measurements as a means of clarifying initial results.
VIII. Practitioner tools for assessing and tracking measurement results.
- Forms for recording and analyzing test results.
- Introduction and review of “informed consent” as it pertains to the Biointegrative Health Assessment. Distinguishing the critical legal difference between diagnostic measurements and measurements of core homeostatic control mechanisms or core regulation systems.
​
IX. Patient tools for increased patient understanding and compliance.
- Patient Information & Instructional Handouts and Comprehensive Patient Report.
​
X. Addressing Test Results
- The four possible symptom/measurement scenarios that result from the application the Biointegrative Health Assessment, what each means, and how each needs to be addressed.
- The importance of linear and non-linear thinking in the application of the
Biointegrative Health Assessment.
