Endobiogeny: a global approach to systems biology (part 1 of 2)

Glob Adv Health Med. 2013 Jan;2(1):64-78. doi: 10.7453/gahmj.2013.2.1.011.

Abstract

Endobiogeny is a global systems approach to human biology that may offer an advancement in clinical medicine based in scientific principles of rigor and experimentation and the humanistic principles of individualization of care and alleviation of suffering with minimization of harm. Endobiogeny is neither a movement away from modern science nor an uncritical embracing of pre-rational methods of inquiry but a synthesis of quantitative and qualitative relationships reflected in a systems-approach to life and based on new mathematical paradigms of pattern recognition.

Keywords: Endobiogeny; endocrinology; functional medicine; reductionism; systems biology.
