Quantum diatheses

Ménétrier's diathesis, a concept deeplyrooted in homeopathy, offers a unique perspective onhealth and well-being.

 

It highlights the way in which each individual, despite similar lifestyles and equivalent attacks, reacts in a unique way depending on their diathesis profile. This valuable knowledge of one's diathesis can helpanticipate potential changes in your state of health and implement effective prevention measures,personalized Andproactive.

THE Dr Jacques Ménétrier, a pioneer in this field, is thefirst doctor to have established a correlation between a patient profile and one or more trace elements. After studying a large number of clinical cases, he discovered thatcertain elements are found to be much more effective in certain types of patients. This observation led tothe creation of oligotherapy, a therapeutic approach which consists ofprovide trace elements in tiny doses Forregulate and optimize thebodily functions.

Ménétrier definedfour main diatheses, each representing a unique set of characteristics and reactions, as well as a fifth complementary diathesis.

 

Diatheses 1 and 2 are considered original, reflectingthe individual's innate tendencies.

 

Diatheses 3 and 4, on the other hand, are considered changes that occur over the course of life, often in response to environmental and lifestyle factors.

 

Each diathesis is regulated by a main trace element and a few complementary trace elements, thus offering a personalized approach to maintain and improve health.

The 4 diatheses of Ménétrier

Diathesis 1 or allergic diathesis (manganese) + (sulfur) 

This diathesis is characterized by hyper-reactivity, predisposing to various allergic manifestations such as eczema, urticaria, respiratory allergies, asthma and sudden inflammatory reactions. People belonging to this diathesis are generally emotional, nervous, impulsive and sensitive. They tend to be optimistic and active, but may overuse stimulants to maintain their energy. This diathesis is generally regulated by manganese, accompanied by sulfur in case of allergy.​

Diathesis 2 or hyposthenic diathesis
(Manganese-Copper)
+
(Copper-Gold-Silver)

People belonging to this diathesis are generally calm, but not very adaptable and often pessimistic. They are in good shape in the morning, but fatigue sets in in the evening. This diathesis is characterized by a great sensitivity to infection, whether at the ENT, urinary, digestive, etc. level. Diathesis 2 is enhanced by the manganese-copper complex and the copper-gold-silver complex.

​​Diathesis 3 or dystonic diathesis:
(Manganese-Cobalt)
+
Lithium-Phosphorus-Magnesium)

This diathesis is a dysregulation of the neurovegetative nervous system. It is often preceded by diathesis 1. Diathesis 3 is characterized by emotional disorders, such as anxiety, insomnia, hyper-emotionality, concentration and memory disorders, venous circulation disorders, cramps, Raynaud syndrome, hypertension, digestive and intestinal disorders. It is regulated by the manganese-cobalt complex, accompanied depending on the case by lithium, phosphorus and magnesium.​​

​​Diathesis 4 or anergic diathesis
(Copper-Gold-Silver)
+
(Lithium)

This diathesis can manifest itself occasionally during convalescence, or become chronic. It is characterized by very significant and disabling fatigue, which does not disappear upon rest. Serious and/or chronic infections are one of the characteristics of this diathesis, as are all long-lasting and insidious inflammatory processes. This diathesis is improved by the copper-gold-silver complex, accompanied in cases of depression by lithium.

Diathesis 5
Disadaptation syndrome

This syndrome represents the inability or great difficulty for the body to adapt to disturbances. It manifests itself either by developmental delays or fertility dysfunctions, or by eating and digestive disorders. The fatigue of this diathesis is characteristic, cyclical: classically around 10-11 a.m. and/or 2-5 p.m., often linked to hypoglycemia and associated with digestive disorders.

It is important to note that these diatheses are not diseases, but tendencies, predispositions. They can evolve and change throughout life depending on various factors such as lifestyle, diet, stress, etc.
