ParticipantDear Camelia:
Creatinine kinase is found to a high degree in muscles, which are major consumers of ATP at a high rate. Thus, injury to muscle, from intense exercise, hypothyroidism, neuromuscular degeneration or rhabdomyolysis, to name a few conditions, will create a false result for the thyroid index and for all subsequent indexes that depend on it. In this case, the result should be repeated, OR, a the prior historical value should be used as a “best estimate.”

ParticipantIn addition, consider Bogbean (Menyanthes trifoliata).

ParticipantThe migraine terrain involves a hyper catabolic, hyper metabolic terrain in which the demand for glucose in the brain exceeds the body’s ability to present it. There is also vascular inflammation in the critical terrain. The following is not a comprehensive list, but a good place to start:
bMSH/aMSH: Low
Platelet mobilization low AND Leukocyte mobilization low OR high
Cortisol index: High
Genito-thyroid: High
Catabolism/Anabolism: High
Metabolic Yield: High
Pro-inflammatory or Inflammation index: High
Harmful free radicals: HighBest,

ParticipantThere are a few “mono-diets,” or, diets with a very limited range of foods that are recommended for a short period of time in Endobiogeny. They are meant to quickly address symptomatic and more severe problems with the emunctory organs. A patient may benefit from continuing a diet inspired by the mono-diets for a longer period of time. For example, if a patient does well on the brown rice diet, they can move on to an alkaline-reactive vegetarian or pescatarian diet that avoids gluten, dairy and fried foods for 2-3 months.
Best,

ParticipantDear Rasa:
1. The Cortisol/Adrenal cortex ratio has been corrected to reflect Dr. Duraffourd’s recommendation of 2-3.
2. The old program (that GEMMA did not create or manage) had an error in calculating ACTH. We double checked our calculations in GEMMA against the master sheet created by Dr. Duraffourd.
3. I believe this has been addressed.
Thank you for using GEMMA. You can email me directly at khedayat@gemmabio.com to point out any errors. This site is best used to discuss the meanings of indexes.
Sincerely

ParticipantThyroid antibodies are an absolute quantitative measurement, so they cannot come back as negative. However, if the value is 0, then please enter a “1” so that the calculations of the thyroid indexes in the thyroid panel that use thyroid antibodies can be calculated.

ParticipantEyebrows are darker than the rest of the face (except in albinos) and are typically darker than the hair on the head. The relatively or absolutely dark eyebrow hair absorbs more light from the sun allowing less reflection unto the eyes.

ParticipantEstrogens (because there are several types) and progesterone act in concert with each other. They have both agonist and antagonistic activity, so the timing, duration and intensity of action are all important. Estrogens stimulate progesterone but progesterone first acts in an agonistic, then, antagonistic way in relationship to estrogens. The specific mechanism has to do with nuclear transcription and the number and sub-type of estrogen and progesterone receptors.
In the breasts, estrogens stimulate an increase in breast mass and proliferation of tissue. This process involves inflammation and rapid turnover of material, which causes the breasts to feel more tender.
In the breasts, progesterone either directly, or in conjunction with aldosterone, leads to engorgement of the breasts with fluid to try to manage the intake of nutrients demanded by estrogens, and, probably to maintain proper oncotic pressure within cells.
There are no good or bad guys. All hormones are necessary and beneficial when maintained in balance with each other, again, with respect to timing, duration and intensity of action.

ParticipantAdam, thank you for your thorough response. Dr. Noomen, please find my reflections below.
Pour le psoriasis, commencez par traiter l’hyperanabolisme des protéines au niveau de la peau. Les facteurs clés sont donc les œstrogènes, le pancréas et la compétence hépato-biliaire.
Historiquement, nous avons enseigné l’approche du psoriasis sous l’angle des déséquilibres systémiques qui s’imposent à la peau. Cependant, l’analyse de votre rapport GEMMA Bio démontrera que la majorité de la pathologie se situe au niveau de la peau elle-même en tant qu’organe métabolique et accessoirement d’un dysfonctionnement hépato-biliaire. La considération tertiaire est le dysfonctionnement systémique.
En effet, bon nombre des déséquilibres typiques que l’on pourrait s’attendre à voir dans les indices ne sont pas présents à l’heure actuelle. Cela peut être dû au fait que vous les avez traités efficacement ou parce que la peau, comme indiqué précédemment, est le principal compartiment de dysfonctionnement en tant qu’organe métabolique, à proprement dit.
ÉVALUATION SYSTÉMIQUE
AXE GONADOTROPE
De la faible valeur du rapport génital, nous pouvons conclure qu’il existe une prédominance relative des œstrogènes.Dans la section « Tissular Activity », par l’index « General quantitative estrogens » élevé, nous pouvons conclure qu’il existe un œstrogénisme absolu. Donc, cela vérifie la nécessité de réduire absolument les œstrogènes.
Dans la section « Efficiency Indexes », le taux élevé d’index « Rate of genital estrogens » et « Rate of aromatized estrogens » indiquent, tous deux, l’intérêt de réduire le taux de production d’œstrogènes à partir de la conversion des androgènes. C’est l’approche que vous avez déjà commencée et que vous devriez continuer. Vous avez bien choisi vos plantes ! Maintenant, nous aborderons également d’autres facteurs.
AXE SOMATOTROPE
Nous évaluons le fonctionnement du pancréas à l’aide des nouveaux index exclusifs au système GEMMA. Pour cela nous regardons « Glucagon/Insuline ratio no. 1 », qui est surélevé. Cela signifie que le pancréas endocrinien est impliqué dans la suralimentation de l’activité métabolique basale.TRAITEMENT : Un régime alcalin, c’est-à-dire un régime à grains complets, à faible indice glycémique, avec beaucoup de légumes et les poissons. Évitez la viande, les volailles, tout sucre, alcool et produits laitiers, même les yaourts pendant les trois premiers mois, puis libéralisez l’alimentation.
Il y a une dépendance excessive aux protéines, comme en témoigne l’index « perméabilité cellulaire active » élevé. Cela favorise également un régime végétarien plus généralement. Cependant, le ratio Glucagon/Insuline n°1 apporte une plus grande spécificité à la recommandation de régime.
Les indices d’autophagie sont élevés, mais seuls les indices non. 1, non. 1 ajusté et non. 1 corrigé. Un index élevé signifie qu’il y a une forte accumulation de toxines d’origine biologique car le taux d’autophagie est insuffisant ou faible à l’échelle globale. La signification de ces trois premiers indices élevés est que le déséquilibre est dû à un dysfonctionnement cellulaire intrinsèque. Il n’est pas imposé par le métabolisme systémique. Ceci est validé par le fait que les facteurs systémiques typiques ne sont pas élevés dans ce cas de psoriasis. Par conséquent, la majorité de l’activité est intrinsèque à la physiologie de la peau.
TRAITEMENT : Drainage de l’espace tissulaire (« ground matrix »). Les préparations de gemmomacérat sont efficaces ici, en particulier Juniperus communis et Alnus glutinosa. Si ceux-ci ne sont pas disponibles, alors Gallium apernine, Inonotus obliquus (Chaga) ou Uncaria tomentosa (Griffe de chat) sont des bons choix. Puisque vous êtes en Tunisie, il existe une Chlorelle de très bonne qualité que vous pouvez recommander à votre patient, cultivée et préparée localement.
LE STRESS
Il est important d’évaluer le degré de stress dont souffre votre patient. D’après mon expérience, traiter le stress seul peut considérablement améliorer le psoriasis.Voir « Indice parasympathique ajusté » sous la section « Système nerveux autonome » pour l’importation psychologique. L’index est bas, ce qui signifie que le nerf vague est dans un état de “choc”. Elle n’est pas démyélinisée, mais souffre d’une insuffisance mitochondriale pour bien réguler le stress grâce à ses fibres afférentes qui retournent vers le système nerveux central.
TRAITEMENT : Exposition au soleil entre 10h et 16h pendant 30 minutes par jour (ce n’est pas un défi dans votre pays !) ; Gestion du stress/psychothérapie, Withania somniferi.
PEAU
La peau doit être traitée directement avec un bain thérapeutique de sel marin 1 tasse, 1 litre de décoction de bardane (30 g) et 1 tasse de bicarbonate de sodium. Le patient doit se reposer dans le bain pendant 30 à 40 minutes. Se baigner dans la mer est également favorable, mais pas aussi efficace que ce remède.Sincerely

ParticipantDear Camelia:
The correction factor adjusts the basic lab values of these two biomarkers, LDH (Lactate Dehydrogenase) and CK (creatine kinase) to account for various discrepancies across ages, sexes and normative values across medical laboratories and in various countries. Similar adjustments are made for osteocalcin and alkaline phosphatase. Those, the majority of indexes (except for those derived from a CBC with differential) must be run through GEMMA for correct results. They cannot be calculated by hand.
Sincerely
KamyarDr. Kamyar M. Hedayat
ParticipantDear Camelia:
The range of 2.5-3 is what Dr. Douraffourd recommended as an “optimal ratio” of function. He never created an index for this relationship. The mathematical ratio of relationship is 1.2-2. However, we will update this feature soon to reflect Dr. Duraffourd’s approach, which we have found to be valid.

ParticipantTRH/TSH index vs. the concept of TRH activity relative to TSH.
About Amylosis, Dr. Duraffourd said:
“on peut dire simplement que l’amylose était très très ugmentee du fait du stress, ce qui implique un axe corticosomatotrope important, que cet axe corticosomatotrope était encore un axe qui privilégiait la balance prolactine-insuline, c’est-à-dire la balance entre les facteurs de croissance et d’anticroissance, et qui privilégiait l’action extramembranaire de l’insuline par rapport à l’action membranaire.”“we can simply say that amyloidosis was very, very increased due to stress, which implies an important cortico-somatotropic axis, that this cortico-somatotropic axis was still an axis which favored the prolactin-insulin balance, that is to say the balance between growth and anti-growth factors, and which favored the extramembrane action of insulin over the membrane action.”
It is all a question of instigator and compensator. The compensator at one level is the instigator for another level of reaction. At one level, the instigator is Cortisol, which suppresses growth and favors anti-growth. Its compensator is TRH, which seeks to relaunch Prolactin Insulin Growth factors. Of course, this is itself an instigator of amylosis. Why? There is premature entry of glucose into the cell before somatotropic preparation is completed by growth hormone (GH growth score index). Because glucose has been used already, amyloid proteins serve as a bridging energy until the next time of glucose (or lipids) to generate ATP. This is why the amylosis index is in the numerator of the index and represents TRH as both compensator of cortisol but instigator of amylosis.
TSH is the compensator of amylosis, as it stimulates the release of proteolytic enzymes from the endocrine pancreas to break down amylotic proteins before they become tangled and enmeshed within the cell structure. Thus, TRH is related to the need for amyloid proteins, but TSH is related to its regulation and remove. The index is a ratio, so it’s a question of the relative predominance of one activity to the other.
About Adenosis, Dr. Duraffourd explained:
L’adénose ça traduit tous les évènements qui sollicitent un organe pour augmenter son rendement et son volume, sa production et son volume, çàd que ça traduit une augmentation métabolique in situ soit d’un organe, soit d’un ensemble d’organes et ça traduit d’abord comme tous les index, et c’est un notion très importante, ça traduit la mise en place du processus et d’un déséquilibre au sein de l’hormonologie et de l’endocrinologie permanente qui est propice, favorable à l’augmentation organique, alors, et là aussi c’est toujours pareil, soit parce que ce déséquilibre est comme celà parce qu’il y a une augmentation et une recherche d’augmentation métabolique et de rendement métabolique entre le centre et la périphérie…“Adenosis expresses all the events that solicit an organ to increase its yield and its volume, its production and its volume. That is to say, it expresses an in situ metabolic increase either of single or set of organs. And this expresses, first and foremost like all indexes, a very important notion: the establishment of the process and of an imbalance within the hormonology and the permanent endocrinology which is favorable to the accumulation of material elements. Thus, here too, it’s always the same, either because this imbalance is like that because there is augmentation (of cellular volume) or there is a search for augmentation of metabolism and metabolic efficiency between the center and the periphery…”
Adenosis requires a general dysendocrinism. This implicates in particular FSH for mucosal congestion and sensibilization of estrogens, and, TRH for its general role in the rate of DNA transcription, but also Prolactin and Insulin, as discussed above. However, TSH has a privileged role in adenosis because TSH acts as a growth factor at the cellular level independent of somatotropic activity. Thus, the TRH/TSH index: Amylosis/Adenosis represents the dialectic of TRH for cellular multiplication relative to TSH for cellular enlargement. It is only a relative assessment. Please note that Dr. Duraffourd, in his own definition of the index, understand several levels of fractal implication of the meaning of the index. Amylosis and adenosis are only standards for the more fundamental dialectic of TRH and TSH, which I discussed in The Theory of Endobiogeny, volume 1, chapter 8, available in English and in French:
The second part of your question is about the Prolactin index. We must be clear that an index of function represents a specific and particular aspect of all the actions of a function. The prolactin index was created to specifically evaluate prolactin’s turning of the loops to relaunch second-loop cortisol via stimulation of CRH and ACTH. The prolactin index should be evaluated along with the corresponding corticotropic indexes found in GEMMA: Cortisol, CRH and ACTH to answer the following question: Is Prolactin properly sensing the quality of cortisol action in adaptation or is Prolactin’s role adaptative? The specific method of interpretation was discussed in the somatotropic lecture series, part 1 under “prolactin.”

ParticipantDear Colin:
GEMMA is 100% based on the original methods of Dr. Duraffourd, the originator of the theory of Endobiogeny and the biology of functions. This means two things:
1-indexes with negative sign are not suppressed. The meaning of a negative index was discussed in the gonadotropic indexes lecture (https://learnendobiogeny.com/product/webinar-on-case-studies-cases-related-to-gonadotropic-axis/).
2-The original methods of calculations and normal values are preserved.Where GEMMA has advanced the science of the biology of functions is in three ways:
1-over 100 new indexes
2-Categorization of indexes according to type of function (e.g. endocrine-metabolic, organo-tissular, adaptation, etc.
3-New normative values for children 0-6.99 and 7-20.99 years. Dr. Duraffourd started this work but it was never completed nor implemented during his time.I was not involved in the development of the EMA system, but what I know is that the chief architect of that system suppressed the negative sign and in come cases modified calculations.
CONCLUSION: When there is discrepancy, trust the GEMMA results over the EMA.
