Description

The Theory of Endobiogeny Volume 1: Global Systems Thinking and Biological Modeling for Clinical Medicine offers researchers and clinicians a detailed introduction to the theory of Endobiogeny. The book presents a new approach to medicine that is at once scientific and humanistic, quantitative, and qualitative. The philosophical and experimental basis of a global complex systems approach to physiology is presented along with a mathematical approach to modeling the dynamism of the terrain. The importance of the history and physical examination are renewed as a source of “big data” readily available to clinicians for greater insight into the patient’s state. Expansion of the therapeutic compendium is proposed based on a rational, clinical approach correlated to mathematical indicators of the physiologic state. What is proposed in this work is a fundamental shift in scientific thinking with a resulting expansion of the boundaries of clinical medicine for the 21st century and beyond.

Key Features

  • Extends systems biology from the cellular to the integrative physiologic level
  • Moves the functional medicine approach to a higher level of integration and true global systems thinking
  • Presents mathematical tools and proofs of formulas related to the biology of functions: a biological modeling system based on the theory of endobiogeny. The biology of functions has assisted clinicians in conceptualizing, treating, and objectively monitoring the longitudinal effects of treatment through the evolution of the patient’s unique phenotypic expression of terrain

Readership

Researchers and clinicians interested in systems biology and integrative medicine

Jean-Claude Lapraz

Jean-Claude Lapraz is a global leader in research and training in Endobiogeny since 1983. Trained in medicine at Paris Descartes University, he is codeveloper of the original teachings of Endobiogeny along with its inventor, Dr. Christian Duraffourd (1943–2017).

    Elegant

    This is the most elegant approach to clinical medicine that I have encountered in my 15 years of practice. By comparison, I feel like my classically trained practice of medicine is vulgar and unenlightened. This book is modern, academic, and beautifully articulated. This is the combined work of genius-level intelligence.

    a true scientific book presenting endobiogenic medicine

    Here is finally a true scientific work of high level presenting the Endobiogenic medicine. This book is clear, precise, extremely well documented and referenced written by two known and recognized scientists in the field of integrative medicine. It allows to understand this system theory and to discover the complexity of the "Biology of Functions": analysis tool obtained through algorithms based on physiology data, allowing a quantified evaluation of the state of the metabolic terrain of the subject from biomarkers. I recommend this book to all scientists and health practitioners.
