FLOW SYSTEMS ANALYSIS
Flow Systems Analysis is a method that is able to measure several factors of
the fluid dynamics of the internal environment of the body. This environment is
often referred to as the "terrain" or "biological terrain". While the various
fields of medicine examine, isolate, or treat one particular part or system of
the body, Flow Systems Analysis gains feedback about the operation of the
entire internal biochemical/electrical environment. This complete picture of
information gives the health care practicioner a baseline on which to adjudge
his selected course of treatment as well as an objective procedure for
monitoring the real effectiveness of his treatment on an on-going basis. This
dynamic form of biochemic biofeedback helps uncover the underlying cause or
causes of a patient's imbalance or illness, rather than treating a list of
"symptoms".
Let's talk about health and farming for a moment as they both have some things
in common. Before a farmer plants his seed, he needs to be concerned with the
balance of the soil in which he is going to plant. One of the primary things
the farmer looks at is the sols pH balance, the mineral balance, hydration
level, healthy bacteria levels and other factors that give him an idea of the
soils "terrain" - i.e. the environment in which that seed is going to grow. If
the terrain is unbalanced, that little seed is going to have a much harder time
growing into a big, strong plant. As it grows, nutrient uptake from the soil
can be diminished, leaving the plant with a poor "immune system" so to speak
and it becomes more susceptible to disease, competing foliage and parasites in
the environment. The need for herbicides and pesticides increases in proportion
to the decreasing health of the soil.
Your body's cells are similar to that litte seed. There is a "soil" for your
cells. It is your internal bodily environment. To maintain health, and to keep
going strong, your cells need their own balanced terrain. This is their
"biological terrain". And here also we are concerned with pH balance, mineral
balance, hydration levels, good bacteria in the gut and other items of
importance. Very simply, when these things are off balance, the body is off
balance. And when it's off balance, it is reflected in the body's blood,
interstitial and intercellular fluids. One of the most dynamic of bodily fluids
is the blood.
By observing living blood under a microscope, we can get a real-time, dynamic
and concrete visual perspective of the state of our internal biological terrain
or body ecology. This however, is only a QUALITATIVE picture. But behind this
qualitative picture lie the QUANTITATIVE numbers which "pushed" the picture
into being what it is. It is these quantitative numbers that are the basis for
Flow Systems Analysis, and it is the numbers offered through this form of
biochemic biofeedback that lie behind the visual picture of blood which someone
might view under the microscope. Quantifying the nature of the picture points
the practicioner to the primary homeostatic balance points affecting health.
This is the next step for clinical clarity of what the picture means and for
providing spot-on client assistance.
