already observed in fever. This also occurs with hormones that boost the metabolism, such as adrenaline and thyroxin. The human organism has a circadian rhythm of approximately 24 hours. The sun dictates this circadian rhythm. Whenever we create a rhythm in life that does not adhere to day and night, changes occur in our circadian rhythm. Human beings, as self-conscious creatures, can remove themselves from the imperative physiology of the 24-hour rhythm, by for example, having night duty. In chapter 3.3.2., we discussed jetlag as another example. In short, to form a true-to-life picture of the human organism, we must think in terms of continually changing compositions of substances and processes that function rhythmically. Each still image or image of a dynamic in one direction, not followed by a counter-movement, is an image of disease. The stone in the gall bladder or the kidney, the fat deposits in the arteries, the uric acid crystals in gout, everything that no longer flows can make us ill. The reverse is also true: everything that dissolves too strongly and remains in flow without ever changing its dynamic makes us ill as well: the maceration of lung tissue in certain types of tuberculosis, the formation of pus in an abscess, hydrocephaly caused by unrestrained production of cerebral fluid, profuse bleeding during menstruation or clotting disorders, and an on-going dissolving of bone in osteoporosis. Every one-sidedness, in which the rhythm is lost, is pathology. The relation to previous chapters is clear here, in particular where we stated that health is a state of homeostasis with a dynamically oscillating equilibrium, acute disease is a temporary dysbalance of the equilibrium, and in chronic disease the dysbalance persists and the balance setpoint is reset (section 3.3.3.). The healthy organism is in homeostasis. The healthy balance is maintained by the rhythm of manifold related polar processes that oscillate around a midpoint. 7.4. Rhythm in Therapy: Conclusion We have attempted to show the significance of a process that occurs outside of its ‘healthy rhythm’ in dimension, location, and time (Chapter 5), using the phenomena in asthma and pneumonia. Whether it is to one direction or another, a one-sided dynamic leads to
pathology. Asthma and pneumonia are, in that sense, good examples to clarify a more general principle in medicine. The two described directions in which an organism can go wrong and drop out of the rhythmic interchange are, as briefly explained in the clinical pictures in Chapter 4, not difficult to find once you have developed a sense of the dynamic aspect of health and disease. In the therapeutic measures described in Chapter 6, we endeavored to clarify the value we attach to a therapy that is implemented rhythmically. Explicit reasons for this were given above: all healthy and health-promoting events occur in a rhythmic and alternatingopposing dynamic. The rhythmic alternation of polarity from one dynamic process into the other is of vital importance for maintaining or regaining good health. Fig. 7.3.
