There and (never?) back again:
Enclosed pathogenic factors
Thesis

the ABZ-Mitte, Offenbach
Abstract
When
external
pathogenic factors (epf) intrude the body they
always cause an imbalance and so they provide a base
for disease or trigger it. If a person's qi is
strong enough, those epf are pushed out of the body
again. If the person's qi is not strong enough, they
may linger in the body in more or often less obvious
forms.
The diagnostic challenge with those 'enclosed'
pathogenic factors is the fact, that for some time
they may or may not cause symptoms. Maybe the person
just feels a little bit tired or less strong or
focused than elsewhen, or even completely fine.
It may gradually cause chonic diseases to which the
body slowly 'adapts' and therefore gets used to live
unbalanced. But still those enclosed pathogenic
factors disturb the physiological balance in the
meridians and zang fu (inner organs). When the
body's level of energy decreases, e.g. for age,
stress, traveling, cold or an other disease the
symptoms of these enclosed pahtogenic factors show
up.
The thesis is about the precondition how and why
external pathogenic factors can become enclosed
pathogenic factors and how they can be classified.
