Constitutional Body Types
A new look at evaluating different genetic constitutions
We all are aware that people’s structure and size is different. Some people are tall, some medium and some small. Many different cultures have called these differences by names such in Ayurvedic medicine they are known as kapha, pita and vata. In the West they have been classed as endomorphs, mesomorphs and ectomorphs.For the last 25 years I have been working with four constitutional body types based on the hormonal system that was most active during the growth stages.They were the pituitary type, thyroid type, adrenal type and the gonadal type.We also use height, hand shape and size, hair texture and distribution, nail shape and size and fat distribution.
Biologically the human body’s growth and metabolism is dependent upon four primary coordinating hormonal glands— the pituitary, the thyroid, the adrenal cortex and the gonads. These glands regulate our growth during childhood, the repair of tissue as we age, our metabolic rate, how we manage all forms of stress and how we function and behave sexually.
A colleague of mine Dr Chris Astill-Smith started using different coloured acetate films over patients eyes to determine both detrimental and beneficial light wavelengths. It is known that the human eye is a trichromate, that is it sees using three cones in the macular of the eye, each picking up wavelengths in the red, green and blue zones giving the human over 5 million shades of colour perception. It was noted during clinical testing that one cone wavelength would be detrimental to a person whilst the other two were generally well tolerated. Over the years Chris has identified that the weakening cone wavelength of a person matches the person’s body type. The body types have been identified as Red, Green or Blue.
When you are in for a treatment I will use red, green and blue acetates over your eyes to determine body constitution and the therapies needed to bring you back into balance. I find this approach brings about profound change in the patient, balancing the immune, hormonal, digestive and structural systems of the body and resulting in a sense of healthy, robust wellbeing.
All body types respond well to the food combining approach to eating.( The Food Combining Diet or Hay Diet ).
