ASEMIP
Endobiogeny: A theory of terrain
• Presented by French physician Christian Duraffourd, MD in the early 1980’s
• Terrain: functional expression of structural constitution in its internal equilibrium– Dynamic and Ceaseless– Consists of Inductive and Reactive elements
![Page 4: Vagus nerve.osteo](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050906/5561b86fd8b42a46138b4dbf/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
ASEMIP
Endobiogeny: A theory of terrain
• Terrain– Constitution: Genetic heritage, potential capacity
of the structure– Structure: materialized constitutive elements that
assure life. The achievement of constitution– Function: all the biologic and metabolic mechanics
that assure functioning of structure and dynamics of the organism

ASEMIP
Endobiogeny: A theory of terrain
• Morphology: Exterior configuration of structure in its function
Vagotonic 18 yo female with Migrainesseizuresceliac
Vagotonic 6 yo male with moderately severe asthma, eczema

ASEMIP
States of adaptation
• Adaptation: Momentary adjustment of equilibrium
• General adaptation syndrome (GAS): response to a non-recognized attack; progressive, ordered, and chronologic
• Adaptability: Adaptation to a new level of functioning without invoking GAS
• Adaptative states: Adaptation that does not return to the prior state of equilibrium

ASEMIP
ANS and Adaptation
• Parasympathetic– Origin: Cranial nerve: Pons– Nerve: Vagus nerve– Neurotransmitter: Acetyl Choline– Functions: Rest and digest:• Basal physiologic state• Increases the rate of production and volume of all
secretions, facilitates sleep and stillness• Solicits alpha-sympathetic activity
![Page 8: Vagus nerve.osteo](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050906/5561b86fd8b42a46138b4dbf/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
ASEMIP
Vagotonia and disease
• Vagotonic individuals susceptible to disorders due to parasympathetic hyper-functioning– DERM: Eczema, Psoriasis– PULM: Asthma, Bronchitis– CNS: Migraines– GI: Crohn’s disease, Ulcerative colitis, Gastritis
![Page 9: Vagus nerve.osteo](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050906/5561b86fd8b42a46138b4dbf/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
ASEMIP
ANS and Adaptation
• Alpha-sympathetic– Origin: Locus ceruleus, Pons– Nerve: Sympathetic Ganglion– Functions: Initiates, calibrates and/or maintains each type
of adaptation state, installs tension• Beta-sympathetic– Origin: Adrenal medula, Adrenal gland– Nerve: N/A, neurohoromone– Functions: facilitates movement, relieves tension through
the excretion of secretions, regulates serum glucose levels

ASEMIP
Assessment of Para: History
• Infancy: Quiet, easy baby, good eater• Toddler: Shy, timid; ENT pathologies,
Pulmonary pathologies• Adolescence: Sweats easily and throughout
body, falls asleep easily• General: Hungry first thing in morning,
abundant saliva

ASEMIP
Assessment of Para: Exam
• General: Round face• General signs of
digestive insufficiency– Enlarged parotids, dilated
canal of Stenon, tenderness of pancreas
• Signs of post-pubertal growth hormone related to the above– Bulbous nose, fleshy ear
lobes, large chin

Conclusions
• 10th cranial nerve has an impact on nearly every aspect of basal and adaptive physiologic activity
• Contextualize Vagus nerve activity within the scheme of global functioning of the patient
• Endobiogeny offers a sophisticated method of evaluating functional implications of vagus dysfunction in psychological, mental and physical spheres
