2.6 Therapeutic Treatment

Article 60 - Therapeutic Treatment

Canon 4959 (link)

Therapeutic Treatment is the use of therapies and associated technologies and orthodoxies including pharmaceuticals for the cure, remedy or treatment of biological malfunctions of organisms.

Canon 4960 (link)

As the word Medicine, represents the oldest and traditional enemy of Therapy and Therapeutic treatments it is therefore not permitted to be use in describing Therapeutic practices.

Canon 4961 (link)

Unlike medical treatment that focuses on symptoms, Therapeutic Treatment focuses on the underlying cause(s) of biological malfunction, by seeking to first identify and then address the primary components of a biological malfunction.

Canon 4962 (link)

All Biological Malfunctions possess eight (8) primary components being Condition, Agent, Catalyst, Manifestation, Symptoms, Signs, Mediation and Remedy:

(i) Condition is the pre-existing environment and risk of malfunction which if did not exist to such an extent would otherwise mitigate or remove altogether the risk; and

(ii) Agent, also known as the “Cause” is the reason for the Manifestation of the Malfunction, through interacting and support of the Catalyst; and

(iii) Catalyst, also known as the “Reactor” is the trigger that when exposed to the condition(s) helps cause the Manifestation with the Agent of the Malfunction; and

(iv) Manifestation is the present, past or future state of the Malfunction; and

(v) Symptoms are any signs observed by the mind of the higher order life form experiencing the Malfunction; and

(vi) Signs are any medically observed examples of the presence of a Malfunction by a qualified person; and

(vii) Mediation are any treatments that may reduce the Results of the Malfunction while not actually reversing its effects totally; and

(viii) Remedy is any course of Mediation and Treatment leading to the elimination, reversal of the Malfunction.

Canon 4963 (link)

Therapeutic Treatment is based on the identification of seven (7) major categories of Biologic Malfunction being: Traumatic, Cognitive, Metabolic, Sensory, Systemic, Autoimmune and Genetic:

(i) Traumatic Malfunction is extraordinary damage to part of the body of an organism causing temporary distress, permanent distress or even death; and

(ii) Cognitive Malfunction is an abnormal condition, damage or suboptimum performance of the cognitive functions of the brain of an organism; and

(iii) Metabolic Malfunction is an abnormal condition, damage or suboptimum performance of the digestive system of a body due to inadequate, inappropriate or disproportionate intake of food and liquid; and

(iv) Sensory Malfunction is an abnormal condition, damage or suboptimum performance of one or more sensory organs of the body such as eyes, ears, skin; and

(v) Systemic Malfunction is an abnormal condition, damage or suboptimum performance of a key system of the body including circulatory, respiratory, endocrine, waste-disposal, muscular, skeletal, immune or reproductive; and

(vii) Autoimmune Malfunction is an abnormal condition, damage or suboptimum performance of the immune system of an organism; and

(viii) Genetic Malfunction is an abnormal condition, damage to the genetic code of certain cells of the body of an organism, potentially causing a wide array of subsequent biological malfunctions.
