THEORETICAL JUSTIFICATION
AND PRACTICAL IMPORTANCE OF DANTEST
The theoretical basis of
Dantest underlies in a
study, which brings evidence that chronically increased sympathetic
tone
(distress) can facilitate cancer development. This finding is similar
to
the positive relationship we have discovered between chronic
sympathetic
tone and other life threatening diseases (16). Consequently, we can
conclude
that the optimal equilibrium of the autonomic balance can play an
extremely
important role, and that is why it should be quantitatively controlled
when
cancer management is necessary. It seems that most of the complementary
medical
approaches for cancer treatment are based on parasympathetic
facilitation.
DANTEST revealed that chemotherapy, surgery or radiotherapy are
additionally
increasing the sympathetic activity, which can contribute to the
insufficient
efficacy they are demonstrating. The management of
malignancy is seeking for new methods decreasing cancer
recurrence,
relapses and assuring a metastasis-free survival (13, 14). Those
methods should
provide (according to the proposed model) periods of deep relaxation
(vagotonia) as strong as possible, because it facilitates the work of
the so
called “intern health promoting mechanism”. That is why the global
anti-malignancy management (or strategy) should be directed not only
towards
“killing cells”, but also towards improvement of their informational
management. It is not cells that are “ill” from biological point of
view, but
rather the whole organism. Unfortunately, the humans are learning more
how to
work and less how to ensure complete rest for their organisms.
Graphical
presentation
of Stress-based malignancy model
(The quality “health” needs a regular oscillation
of biological activity between A and B. As higher is the sympathetic
prevalence
in the day time (B), as higher is the parasympathetic prevalence in the
night
time (A)).
|
A stands for: Night (rest); Increased
parasympathetic (vagal) tone; Information exchanging (receiving); Deep
relaxation in sleep; Paradox sleep - REM; Trophotropic orientation of
the system (open system).
|
B stands for: Day (action); Increased
sympathetic tone; Information processing (loosing); High
activation in wakefulness; Ergotropic orientation of the system (closed
system).
|
There are mainly three types of
oscillations:
|
|
1. Normal. It was observed in young,
absolutely healthy persons and in sportsmen (not over-trained).
There exists an optimal “exchange” (receiving) of information in night
time (parasympathical (vagal) autonomic prevalence-REM) and its
“processing” in day time (sympathetic autonomic prevalence).
System does not need an intervention.
|
|
|
2. Highly pathogenic. It was observed in
persons with overstress and in ill persons, including cancer
patients.
The biological activity is more “B” oriented. The possibility to
“exchange” life important biological information in rest is
restricted.
System needs more “A” activity.
|
|
|
3. Pathogenic. It was observed in aged
persons as well as in persons from younger age groups, not willing to
spent “efforts”.
The biological activity is less in “A”, due to decreased “B”
activity.
The possibility to “exchange” life important biological information in
rest is decreased.
System needs more “B” activity.
