Therapeusis's - Information Data Systems

The main function of a health science counselor is to obtain information and guide the communicant therapeutically with healthful information by imparting an algorithm. An algorithm is a formula or set of rules for solving a particular problem. In Mental Health Counseling, a set of instructions used for fostering better health including but not limited to medical hypnosis, ART (Analytical Relaxation Therapy), Photocognitive Therapy [PCT] dietary reform, life style change, education, meditation, and prayer. All aspects, the physical, mental, and spiritual [PMS] are taken into account. Appropriate use of natural algorithms will lead to more efficient and improved patron care, reducing suffering and health care costs, fostering a better life. The communicant is the person receiving the instructions.

Protocols are the plan for carrying out a communicant's treatment regimen. Protocols are a description of steps to be taken in therapy. For example, detoxification can improve a health condition and therefore one may drink daily a pint of dandeliion tea; or by taking three grams of vitamin C. Counselor-driven protocols are a series of steps to be carried out by communicants under health coaching supervision. Algorithms and protocols are the stock and trade of mental health counselors.

Therapeusis Algorithms and Protocols

Therapeusis Algorithms and Protocols provide the doctor, counselor, therapist, or health advocate efficacious steps in various natural therapies to bring suffering to resolution. The Therapeusis online service can thus helpl structure a therapy regimine. An assortment of therapies provides the doctor or counselor alternatives to disorders not responding to conventional methods. Office protocols can also provide more streamlined health care delivery rather than doctors and therapists having to constantly “think on their feet.” A course of treatment can be outlined after the patron's examination and interview. By referring to this site on your desktop, important therapeutic hints, tips, and golden nuggets can also be included in the communicant's protocols the doctor might otherwise have forgotten or overlooked.

Therapeusis Algorithms and Protocols also provides the user alternatives when the patient does not respond to one therapy or another. From the natural medicine perspective, disease in its simplicity is a disordered physiology in automaticity, both physical and mental, in need of transformation or change. It requires first and foremost information. Quite simply, the communicant is stuck in a negative mode of life that constantly repeats itself, either through bad habits and/or wrong food choices. An appropriate therapy will help break the neurotic cycle with information input, whether it be due to or contributed by addiction or bad habits driven by anxeity; and paralleled by allergy, constipation, dehydration, lymphatic stasis, obesity, or any of the usual impediments to the healing process.

Using Therapeusis Algorithms and protocols you will find many modalities to choose from:

• Nutritional therapy - dietary guidelines using vitamins, minerals, etc.
  
• Homeopathic remedies
• Western Herbal remedies
• Folk medicine, wise hints, tips, and golden nuggets from times past that often can provide the critical key for turning the case.
  

WHAT ARE FUNCTIONAL ALGORITHMS?

Patron algorihtms are explanatory information packages outlining their medical problem in layman terms, and a set of rules or formulas they can carry out when they leave the clinic. McWizard’s Patient Algorithms are specific nutritional, lifestyle, and folk medical instructions, tips and golden nuggets they will dramatically aid their recuperation and/or help bring their illness to resolution. They can be installed into your computer hard drive and printed out for the patient as needed.

Patron Algorithms saves the doctor, counselor, or therapist time in health care delivery. It provides comprehensive care in natural medicine, streamlining office procedures, modernizing practice, and providing the patron a complete naturopathic packaged, approach.

Functional medicine is an alternative modality that focuses on improving the physiological function as a primary method of improving the health of patients with chronic disease. Therapeusis defines this approach as "personalized medicine" that deals with primary prevention and underlying causes, using your signs and symptoms, to ameliorate chronic conditions.

Functional medicine practitioners provide chronic care management with the belief that:

"Diet, nutrition, and exposure to environmental toxins play central roles in functional medicine because they may predispose to illness, provoke symptoms, and modulate the activity of biochemical mediators through a complex and diverse set of mechanisms."

The Therapeusis online computer program identifies 33 organ systems as a functional assessment based on the results that you enter through our questionnaires. The program will generate 3 areas of concern for the condition(s):

1. Immediate Concerns [Herbs-Vitamins-Minerals]
   This is the organ system that is of immediate concern, contributing to your sign and symptoms. Immediate concerns are best dealt with physically. Conditions should improve with detoxification, herbal tea(s), dietary reform, and correcting vitamin and mineral deficiencies.
2. Core Cause [Eclectic Remedy]
   This is the organ system that must be dealt with in order to fully remedy the condition(s) and prevent a return of your symptoms. Core cause issues are best dealt with mentally and physically. Homeopathic polycrests are known to be most suitable.
3. Anchor Initiators [Subconscious - Emotional]
   The anchor point is where you arrived in early life that set the patterns and staging of the adult onset of symptoms. Memories, habits and life style adaptations have weighed in as "viewpoints" or aberrated thinking patterns resulting in unresolved conflicts, avoidance factors, and deep emotional issues. Anchor points are best treated spiritually with methods like counseling, hypnosis, PCT (photocognitive therapy), etc.
   

When your results are received, simply click on the organ link (sample page here) and retrieve a full explanation page of the gland/organ, diet and lifestyle changes that will improve the condition(s).


Generating the Hierarchy - The Repertory - How Therapeusis Works

The word "Repertory" has originated from the Latin word Repertorium, which means "an inventory; a compendium where the contents are so arranged that they are easy to find." It is thus storehouse of information for finding something. It is sort of a dictionary or index of medical signs and symptoms that leads us to the appropiate remedies for the total patron formulation of algorithms and protocols.

Therapeusis’ Repertories are a compendium of database information to provide the user streamlined office efficiency and the choice of appropriate remedies to fit the patron’s condition(s). The following databases have already been collected:

The Following databases are in rapid development:

These are analyzed by the patron completing a comprehensive office questionnaire or going online to the Therapeusis website.
Or by using our unique office forms.

Why is a Repertory Needed ?

All ancient medical systems, i.e. Chinese medicine, Ayurvedic, Monastic (Clerical - Hippocratic) medicine, certain Folk medicines, and of late, naturopathy and homeopathy, based the knowledge of treatment on the individual symptoms of each patient. The formulation of protocols is obtained by information. Each complex of symptoms are individualistic to the case. Today's allopathic/analytic “scientific” effort aims at reducing and simplifying the classification of symptoms. The former method, based upon individualistic considerations is called "(w)holistic," whereas the latter is purely analytic.

Although the analytic method of patient diagnosis is useful for purposes of managed care, hospitalization, prescriptive drugging, and grouping of statistical evidence, today 's aware physician finds these methods and labels are of little help as regards complete, individual patron care. It will be recalled that the analytical method of disease classification assumes that one "knows" the cause, usually based on a chemical relationship, asymbiotic infection, or mechanical obstruction. Energy medicine views disease as a derangement of the vital force and can only be known by its symptoms. Thus allsign and symptom information is initially and equally important. For example, the medical doctor may ignore a transient numbness in the toe as irrelevant, but it could mean a meridian deficiency to an acupuncturist, or an important clue to a homeopath.

These assumptions make us realize why diagnostic procedures evolved and perfected over five thousand years within the framework of ancient (hippocratic-energetic) medical systems must be purposefully used in rational treatment of all disease, even in today's modern world:

1. There exists an inordinate number of functional disturbances without precise somatic proof and is beyond the reach of any rational statement from the modern scientific world. A large gamut of these disorders are simply called "psychosomatic," or of unknown origin. In these cases, only Energetic Medicine can produce positive and specific diagnostic information, indispensable for rational therapy.

2. The multifarious and subtle therapeutic methods of acupuncture, homeopathy, botanical pharmacotherapy, gem/crystal therapy, Flower remedy therapy, aromatherapy, moxibustion, nutrition, rational dietetics, etc. can only be applied in practice on the basis of a proper Energetic or Spiritual Diagnosis.

3. Although patients experience literally thousands of different symptoms, the comparitive simplicity of energetic and spiritual medical theories based on Life leads to a greater transparency and thus a more fruitful prognosis with a more benevolent application to the patron and society. Iatrogenic disease is a modern occurence and today is commonplace in the world of today's xenobiotic drugs. Iatrogenetic disorders are relatively modern occurences and were rare occurences in the days of homeopathy, naturopathy and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

The number of symptoms recorded over two millennia indeed totals over ten thousand. Only two medical systems put down in writing minute details about medicines and their characteristics: Traditional Chinese Medicine and Homeopathy. As the knowledge expanded and increased, it became necessary to compose an index of symptoms that would point to the appropiate remedies. The first such book in China was probably the "Shang Hun Lun," written by Chang Chung-ching (A.D. 140-220). In the West, Pedanius Dioscorides (Greek ca. 40-90 AD), was an ancient Greek physician, pharmacologist and botanist who practised in ancient Rome at the time of Nero. He was a surgeon with the army of the emperor, so he had the opportunity to travel extensively seeking medicinal substances from all over the Roman and Greek world. Our father of homeopathy, Samuel Christian Hahnemann, published in 1805 " Fragmenta de' viribus medicamentorum positivis," which contained the first repertory. In later years, the famous homeopath, James Tyler Kent, finalized a complete repertory and classification of symptoms containing nearly 10,000 of such, known as Kent's Repertory.

A Materia Medica (medical material) is a listing of drugs, herbs or remedies with all their known indications. The object is then to find the appropiate remedy that suits the patients symptoms, for both mind, spirit, and body. By A.D. 1,000, the Chinese (Li Shih Chen’s Pharmacopeiea) had documented over one thousand plant, mineral, and animal remedies and similar correspondences developed later in the West.

The Repertory thus serves three functions:

1. As a simple and straight-forward index to the Materia Medica, i.e. the appropriate remedies to each individual symptom.
2. Based on the Repertory’s author, a way to analyze and choose the most important
remedy among the listing of several or more symptoms.
3. A systematic index to eliminate the non-indicated or inappropriate remedies.

The first two functions are closely related and are two different stages of evolutionary development of the Therapeusis Repertory. The finding of the most appropriate remedies for the case is simply a mathematical one. For example, a particular patient complains of, or reveals, 25 "rubrics," a rubric being an individual symptom; e.g. pain in the occiput, gas and bloat after eating, cannot remember dreams, etc.; along with all of its indicated remedies as found in the Materia Medica. A tally is made as to how many remedies (hits) appeared in each symptom. In this case, for example, a computerized readout may appear as follows:

of 25 rubirics
24 times Calcarea carbonica
23 times Sepia
22 times Pulsatilla
20 times Nux vomica

The list would continue all the way down to one, but the homeopath will usually find the indicated remedy in the "top three" picks. The final decision is based, of course, on the acumen and intuition of the homeopath, can be referenced to the materia medica for or can even be tested by other means, i.e. electroacupuncture medication testing, applied kinesiology, etc.

The Repertory aims at simplifying the work of the doctor or counselor for the most appropiate remedy for the case. It helps us to compare the intensity of symptoms in the patient to the indications of the Materia Medica. It leads one to that "special something" which one seeks for the patient in the most expeditious manner. It speeds up the remedy finding process, for in the old days of homeopathy, the remedies were repertorized (indexed) by writing down by hand.

As with any Repertory, the central concept is to find the most indicated or needed remedies in hierarchial order.

How Does the Therapeusis Repertory blend different modalities into one uniform system ?

This is the genius of the system. The wizard has spent more than fifteen years compiling signs, symptoms, indications with their corrersponding remedies, both ancient and modern. These have been meticulously logged in a database for rapid retrieval. The project is ongoing to cover all the existing modalities in the world of holistic medicine.

Repertorization is a very time consuming process, if not performed by computer software. A busy physician in today’s world generally does not have time to repertorize each and every individual case. This can be overcome by a properly organized PATIENT QUESTIONNAIRE. By this method, much of the case taking is actually performed by the patient and processed by office personnel, thus relieving the physician of time consuming efforts. Using the Therapeusis method, the patient may complete the questionnaire(s) at home in advance, saving both parties time and providing convenience. Groups of remedies can be ascertained fairly quickly.

The method is very simple. The patient fills out the questionnaire online. The most indicated remedies will appear through the end of the program and printed out for your records. Algorithms are accessed by the respected links.
