Circulatory - excites the heart, constricts small blood vessels
Excretory - inhibits water loss
Digestive - in excess, is constipating
Nervous - slows nerve impulse transmission
Reproductive - required for normal cell division
Endocrine - inhibits release of thyroid-releasing and other pituitary hormones
Blood - stimulates blood formation and is required for blood clotting
Muscular - reduces muscular irritability and contractibility
Skeletal - main component of bone
Metabolic - required for phosphorus metabolism and energy production in the Krebs
Detoxification - inhibits uptake of lead, antagonizes cadmium.
Cellular - decreases permeability of cells to sodium and potassium ions.
When it prevails inside cells the symptoms of Ca++ deficiency is arise due to high
catabolic activity of cells: fast oxidation, muscle cramps and spasms, irritability, nervousness,
anxiety, fight-flight reaction, insomnia, high blood pressure;
When it prevails outside cells the symptoms of Ca++ excess arises due to high anabolic
activity: slow oxidation, fatigue, apathy, depression-mental, withdrawal-social, kidney stones,
gall stones, arthritis, hardening of arteries, constipation.
When there is general deficiency of Ca++, the following symptoms have a place:
bruising, tooth decay, osteoporosis, increased tendency to absorb lead and cadmium.

Circulatory - lowers heart rate, dilates arteries, can reduce blood pressure
Excretory - maintains acid-base balance
Digestive - increases digestive tract activity
Endocrine - helps raise aldosterone and other hormones
Metabolic - involved in carbohydrate metabolism
When K+ prevails inside cells there is anabolic state of cell and following symptoms of
deficiency are possible: low blood sugar, low blood pressure, slow oxidation;
When K+ prevails outside cells the symptoms of excess are possible due to catabolic
activity of cell: high blood sugar (diabetes), fast oxidation, weakness-muscles, depressionmental, muscle spasms.
When there is general deficiency of K+, the following symptoms are possible: fatigue,
skin problems, water retention, irregular heart beat, constipation, allergies, and muscle

weakness.
The Dampness Qi is associated with OH- ion.
Function of Hydroxide ion.
Earth
(Dampness)
•
Hydroxyl radicals can occasionally be produced as a byproduct of immune action.
Macrophages and microglia most frequently generate this compound when exposed to very
specific pathogens, such as certain bacteria. The destructive action of hydroxyl radicals has
been implicated in several neurological autoimmune diseases such has HAND when immune
cells become over-activated and toxic to neighboring healthy cells.
•
The hydroxyl radical can damage virtually all types of macromolecules: carbohydrates,
nucleic acids (mutations), lipids (lipid peroxidation), and amino acids. The hydroxyl radical has a
very short in vivo half-life of approximately 10−9 seconds and a high reactivity. This makes it a
very dangerous compound to the organism.
Unlike superoxide, which can be detoxified by superoxide dismutase, the hydroxyl radical
cannot be eliminated by an enzymatic reaction. Mechanisms for scavenging peroxyl radicals for
the protection of cellular structures includes- Endogenous antioxidants such as melatonin and
glutathione, and Dietary antioxidants such as mannitol and vitamin E.
When OH- ion prevails inside cells there is catabolic state of cell and following
symptoms of deficiency are possible: fast oxidation, muscle cramps and spasms, irritability,
nervousness, anxiety, fight-flight reaction, insomnia, bruising;
When OH- prevails outside cells the symptoms of excess are possible due to anabolic
activity of cell: difficulties to breathe, nausea, numbness, prolonged muscle spasms, muscle
twitching, hand tremor.
If it isn’t treated right away, severe symptoms can develop. These symptoms could lead to
shock or coma. Severe symptoms include: dizziness, difficulty breathing, confusion, stupor,
coma.
The Dryness Qi is associated with Mg++- ion.
Functions of Magnesium
Metal
(Dryness)
•
Excretory - prevention of kidney stones
•
Digestive - laxative
•
Nervous - maintains nerve conduction
•
Muscular - prevents tissue calcification, needed for muscle contraction
•
Skeletal - required for bone formation
•
Metabolic - required for energy production, for glucose and fat metabolism, and for
protein synthesis
•
Detoxification - required for liver activity
When it prevails inside cells the symptoms of Mg++ excess are arises due to high
anabolic activity of cells: slow oxidation rate, fatigue, lethargy, confusion, diarrhea, low blood
pressure, muscle weakness, depression, mental confusion;
When it prevails outside cells the following symptoms of Mg++ excess are arises due to
high catabolic activity: it often indicated that magnesium is being lost through the hair,
12
resulting in deficiency symptoms such as anxiety and hyper-irritability;
When there is general deficiency of Mg++, the following symptoms have a place: fast
oxidation rate, anxiety, irritability and high-strung personality.
The Cold Qi is associated with Na+- ion.
Functions of Sodium

Water
(Cold)
Circulatory - maintenance of blood pressure, increases heart rate
Excretory - helps maintain acid-base balance
Digestive - required to produce hydrochloric acid in stomach
Endocrine - reduces aldosterone secretion
Detoxification - keeps toxic substances in solution
Sodium Deficiency Symptoms:
fatigue, weakness, low blood pressure, slow oxidation rate, low hydrochloric acid level,
anorexia, depression-mental, apathy, poor protein digestion, bloating-abdominal, allergies,
dizziness
Sodium Excess Symptoms
High blood pressure, water retention, headache, fast oxidation rate, nervousness, lowers
calcium and magnesium level, irritability.
When the Na+ ion is out of cells, it stimulate anabolic reactions. When Na+ ions enter the cell,
the catabolic phase begins.
The Warm Qi is associated with H+- ion.
Functions of Hydrogen
Hydrogen ions help to maintain the pH body by: CO2 + H20 <==> H2CO3 (reversible). This is one
of the critical function of hydrogen ions because pH has a widespread effect in our body. Alter
of pH may affected respiratory control (PCO2 levels, mainly OH-) and cardiac function, digestion
system, renal control, and enzyme activity. Enzyme denature in too acidic environment
consequently affected metabolism pathway that involved enzymes, such as glycolysis, storage
of glycogen and fatty acid etc. The disturbances in pH may also results in derangements in
blood clotting and drug metabolism.
Fire-Minister
(Warm)
Signs of H+ ions excess (acidosis)
There are several types of acidosis:
- Respiratory Acidosis - fatigue or drowsiness, becoming tired easily, confusion, shortness
of breath, sleepiness, headache;
- Metabolic Acidosis - rapid and shallow breathing, confusion, fatigue, headache,
sleepiness, lack of appetite, jaundice, increased heart rate, breath that smells fruity (a
sign of diabetic acidosis (ketoacidosis)).
Without prompt treatment, acidosis may lead to the following health complications:
-
Kidney stones, chronic kidney problems, kidney failure, bone disease, delayed growth.

Signs of H+ ions deficiency (alkalosis) are the same like excess of Dampness Qi
Six Phases structure is common for any process in organism. For example here is the scheme of
Mitosis:
The process of mitosis is divided into 6 stages. The Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase,
Telophase, and Cytokinesis. At Interphase, there is only one cell, but after Cytokinesis there are two
identical cells.
Before mitosis can take place, the cell need to store enough energy to drive the chemical processes during
the cell division. During this period of time, there is intense cellular activity. The cell grows in size. The
length of the grow phase varies between a few hours to a few months. When the cell has stored enough
energy, it is ready to divide itself.
The following pictures shows a series of steps of how chromosomes divide. Note that for simplicity, only a
few chromosomes are drawn.

Telophase (Water)
Cytokinesis (Fire-Minister)
1. Interphase (Wood)
DNA has replicated, but has not formed the condensed structure of chromosome. They remain as
loosely coiled chromatin.
The nuclear membrane is still intact to protect the DNA molecules from undergoing mutation.
2. Prophase (Fire)
The DNA molecules progressively shorten and condense by coiling, to form chromosomes. The nuclear
membrane and nucleolus are no longer visible.
The spindle apparatus has migrate to opposite poles of the cell..
14
3. Metaphase (Earth)
The spindle fibres attach themselves to the centromeres of the chromosomes and align the
chromosomes at the equatorial plate.
4. Anaphase (Metal)
The spindle fibres shorten and the centromere splits, separated sister chromatids are pulled along
behind the centromeres.
5. Telophase (Water)
The chromosomes reach the poles of their respective spindles. Nuclear envelope reform before the
chromosomes uncoil. The spindle fibres disintegrate.
6. Cytokinesis (Fire-Minister)
This is the last stage of mitosis. It is the process of splitting the daughter cells apart. A furrow forms and
the cell is pinched in two. Each daughter cell contains the same number and same quality of
chromosomes.
Six-phase pattern is not limited only by mitosis. Any process in the body has the same structure. For
example - the process of inflammation Russian phytotherapeutist Karp Treskunov
(http://www.treskunov.ru/english_texts.html) had described as follows:





- Hyperemia (Wood)
- Edema (Fire)
- Infiltration (Earth)
- Necrosis (Metal)
- Lysis (Water)
15
 - The last stage of inflammation - the result of the transition to the normal state (Fire-Minister).
The entire space of the body is divided into 12 different types of areas. Each individual region of cells
has own simultaneous sequence of six-phase processes. Activity of cells is determined by the order in a
daily circulation of Qi as it is defines for acupuncture meridians in Traditional Chinese Medicine. The
interaction of cells of 12 types (meridians in Chinese medicine) forms a functional wholeness of
organism.
The short names of the meridians are in are given in accordance with resolution at the Geneva
Conference on Acupuncture in 1989:
GB - Gall Bladder,
LR - Liver,
ST - Stomach,
SP - Spleen
BL - Bladder,
KI - Kidneys,
SI - Small intestine,
HT - Heart
LI - Large intestine,
LU - Lungs
TE - Triple Energizer
PC - Pericardium.
Defining the essence of Qi is impossible without concept of "changes", "alterations" (I Ching).
Therefore, the most appropriate process, describing the changes consists of certain vibrations,
oscillations, which have the physical parameters like amplitude, phase and frequency. Accordingly, each
fluctuation in the spectral analysis of pulse wave can be classified into six types based on the concept of
a six-phase structure of any process, which in it's own turn is a result of the energy movement in
three-dimensional space.
In accordance with our research (http://pulse-academy.org/files/LifeMechanicsEN.pdf) there is
following correlation between colours, meridians and essential metabolic ions :
In the figure above there is following association:
GB - Gall Bladder, green colour vibrations - yang (extracellular) disposition of OH- ion stimulates Anabolic
phase;
LR - Liver, red colour vibrations - yin (intracellular) disposition of Ca++ ion stimulates Catabolic phase;
16
LU – Lungs, turquoise colour vibrations - yin (intracellular) disposition of Mg++ ion stimulates Anabolic
phase;
LI - Large intestine, yellow colour vibrations - yang (extracellular) disposition of K+ ion stimulates Catabolic
phase;
ST - Stomach, blue colour vibrations - yang (extracellular) disposition of Na+ ion stimulates Anabolic phase;
SP – Spleen, green colour vibrations- yin (intracellular) disposition of OH- ion stimulates Catabolic phase;
PC - Pericardium., purple colour vibrations - yin (intracellular) disposition of H+ ion stimulates Anabolic
phase;
SI - Small intestine, turquoise colour vibrations - yang (extracellular) disposition of Mg++ ion stimulates
Catabolic phase;
BL - Bladder, red colour vibrations - yang (extracellular) disposition of Ca++ ion stimulates Anabolic phase;
KI - Kidneys, blue colour vibrations - yin (intracellular) disposition of Na+ ion stimulates Catabolic phase;
HT – Heart, yellow colour vibrations - yin (intracellular) disposition of K+ ion stimulates Anabolic phase;
TE - Triple Energizer, purple colour vibrations - yang (extracellular) disposition of H+ ion stimulates
Catabolic phase.
Please note here: organs associated with meridians of Traditional Chinese Medicine during the
order of daily circulation produce alternating metabolic phases.
Thus, paired meridians with the similar colour stipulate the sector of activity of proper vibrations (or
metabolic ion) at proper period of a day.
There are following pairs:
 GB and SP form the sector from 23.00 to 11.00 with a maximum of green colour activity at
05.00 (synthesis from vibrations of LU (turquoise) and LI (yellow) meridians);
 ST and KI form the sector from 07.00 to 19.00 with a maximum of blue colour activity at
13.00 (synthesis vibrations of PC (purple) and SI (turquoise) meridians);
 BL and LR form the sector from 15.00 to 03.00 with a maximum of red colour activity at 21.00
(synthesis vibrations of HT (yellow) and TE (purple) meridians);
 LU and SI form the sector from 03.00 to 15.00 with a maximum of turquoise colour activity at
09.00 (synthesis vibrations of ST (blue) and SP (green) meridians);
 PC and TE form the sector from 11.00 to 23.00 with a maximum of purple colour activity at
17.00 (synthesis vibrations of BL (red) and KI (blue) meridians);
 HT and LI form the sector from 19.00 to 07.00 with a maximum of yellow colour at 01.00
(synthesis vibrations of GB (green) and LR (red) meridians);
As you can see:
 Green colour activity at 05.00 is opposite to purple colour activity at 17.00 – pair of H+ and
OH- ions. This period in Ayurveda reflects the activity of Vata dosha;
 Blue colour activity at 13.00 is opposite is opposite to yellow colour activity at 01.00 – pair of
Na+ and K+ ions. This period in Ayurveda is associated with Pitta dosha;
 Turquoise colour activity at 09.00 is opposite to red colour activity at 21.00 – pair of Mg++
and Ca++ ions. This period is Ayurveda is associated with Kapha dosha.
17
Thus, these 3 pairs of ions:
 OH- and H+ (Vata dosha);
 Na+ and K+ (Pitta dosha);
 Ca++ and Mg++ (Kapha dosha)
And they are also in the base of acupuncture rule “Day-Midnight” of Traditional Chinese Medicine for
energies of opposite meridians in daily circulation.
Here are indeed:
 GB (OH-) is opposite to PC (H+);
 LR (Ca++) is opposite to SI (Mg++);
 LU (Mg++) is opposite to BL (Ca++);
 LI (K+) is opposite to KI (Na+);
 ST (Na+) is opposite to HT (K+);
 SP (OH-) is opposite to TE (H+).
It is also easy to notice that the main metabolic ions in Western medicine are essential minerals which
works as a basic method to manage the condition of the organism in critical situations and during
resuscitation procedures.
Also, the pair of ions produce the following function:

H + and OH- form acid-base balance, and all the electrical potentials of the whole
body;

K + and Na + ensure the functioning of organs and systems associated with the
sympathetic nervous system;

Mg ++ and Ca ++ ensure the functioning of organs and systems associated with
the parasympathetic nervous system.
From the metabolic point of view the opposite meridians at any moment of daily circulation must have
opposite metabolic condition. For example:
When GB is at Anabolic phase, the PC must be in Catabolic one and vice versa.
This statement is true for all opposite meridians in daily circulation.
Disposition of ions during metabolic phases:
From point of view of metabolic phase, six above mentioned ions are divided into 2 groups:
18
o
o
conditionally alkaline: OH-, Na+, Ca++;
conditionally acid: H+, K+, Mg++
During the metabolic phases they have following disposition:
The given disposition of ions creates metabolic potentials. If proper concentration of ions in dynamic is
violated, only in this case the disease is possible.
If dynamic concentration is normal – no disease is possible.
Now, let’s learn the readings of Pulse Metabolic Analysis software.
Here is the main screen of readings:
19
There are several level of usage this data.
a. Fast evaluation (it is suited for the 95% cases);
b. Detailed evaluation for the hard, complicated
cases.
Fast evaluation
For the “Fast evaluation” we use only one diagram: “Yang-Yin Qi” (see it on the right side of the main
screen of PMA software (after “PMA Analysis” button is pressed)).
To learn fast evaluation approach we use statements from our article: work "Metabolic sense of the six Qi
of the Chinese Medicine»: http://pulse-academy.org/files/ActionPotentialEN.pdf,
All 12 functional systems (meridians) of the body are divided into 4 groups on the base of synchronous
similarity of metabolic phases (at represented groups below anabolic and catabolic phases go
simultaneously):
a) Yang Group of odd system of meridians: GB, ST, BL;
b) Yin Group of odd system of meridians: LU, PC, HT;
Please note, if we combine Yin and Yang systems in to the sole scheme, we’ll get the colour hierarchy of
the solar spectrum:
Red (BL) – Yellow (HT) – Green (GB) – Turquoise (LU) – Blue (ST) – Purple (PC – the beginning and end
of the cycle)
20
Graphically metabolic activity of odd systems is as follow:
At diagram above, if we see for example LU meridians, it means at the same metabolic state are at PC and
HT meridians too.
Please remember: LU, PC, HT and ST, BL and GB meridians works together, but Yin and Yang meridians are
in opposite metabolic phases.
c) Yang group of even systems of meridians: TE, LI, BL:
d) Yin group of even systems of meridians: LR, SP, KI:
21
Graphically metabolic activity of even systems is as follow:
Positive inclinations in graphs show the periods of catabolic activity of systems (meridians), and
negative inclinations indicate the anabolic phase. There also 2 groups (Yin and Yang) that have similar
metabolic phase at any time of daily circulation:
 When LR, SP, KI are in catabolic phase, LI, SI, TE are in anabolic phase and vice-versa.
Ideally balanced person has any of 4 groups of systems (meridians) working at each metabolic phase at
periods of 4 hours forming the full metabolic cycle at duration for 8 hours ( 4 hours of anabolism + 4
hours of catabolism). Thus, there are 3 metabolic cycles a day for each group of meridians.
But the cycle of daily period astronomically is divided into alkaline and acid part and our bodies are
adapted to these changes:
 At conditionally DAY period (from 11.00 to 23.00, when it is time of activity of Water, FireMinister and Wood elements), the person has usually moderate physical activity, the arterial
blood is shifted to alkaline side due to respiratory effect. This alkaline shift stipulates the
following profile of “Yang-Yin Qi” diagram at ideal case:
22
 At conditionally Night period (from 23.00 to 11.00, when it is time of activity of Fire, Earth and
Metal elements), the person has usually rest period, the arterial blood is shifted to acid side
due to respiratory effect. This acid shift stipulates the following profile of “Yang-Yin Qi”
diagram at ideal case:
Special Notes:
At Day-Night profiles evaluation of “Yang-Yin Qi” diagrams the very first focus should be given to the
conditions of Arterial and Venous blood. The acid=base balance of blood is the post essential factor
that stipulates the metabolic processes of ALL cells in the body.
a) Meridian TE (Triple Energizer), up to our view, indicates the acidic or alkaline shift (relatively to
the middle value of homeostatic regulations) of arterial blood, which plays a role in creating a
charge of membrane potential for cells of LU, LI, PC, SI, HT, TE and cells of blood in arterial
vessels. Positive values (shift to the acid side) stimulate catabolic state of LU, LI, PC, SI, HT and
cells in arterial vessels. Negative values of TE stimulate the anabolic activity of the mentioned
systems.
b) Meridian PC (Pericardium), up to our view, indicates the acidic or alkaline shift of venous blood
- GB, LR, ST, SP, BL, KI association. Positive inclination at the diagram means a shift to the acid
(catabolic) side of GB, LR, ST, SP, BL, KI and cells in venous vessels, but negative one shows a
shift to the alkaline (anabolic) side.
c) At normal, balanced condition TE and PC systems must have opposite direction of inclinations,
i.e. in this case one of the systems is in alkaline condition, but another – at acid or vice-versa.
Only this mutual disposition creates proper electro-magnetic potential to move the blood in
vessels. Total shift with the similar levels and direction of inclination (including both near zero
line) to be considered as pathological and this condition must be corrected at the FIRST TURN
because acid-base balance of blood is associated with level of toxin in the whole body. At any
23
condition use methods of detoxification, especially correct the drinking quantity of PURE
WATER (we consists of water up to 75% and low circulation of liquids increases level of toxins in
our bodies dramatically). Toxins in the body are the main cause of metabolic disorder and NO
disease is possible if metabolic order is perfect.
d) The second point of your attention must be paid to the synchronous of the daytime to the type
of profile. Generally Night profile indicates some level of hypoxia, when the whole body should
have a rest and requirements of Oxygen are low. If we see the Night profile at daytime, please
be sure, we have some stage of hypoxia in dependence on the value of Qi inclination. The
hypoxia is a cause of a very long list of disease and the most know of them are ischemia, cancer,
toxemia.
Detailed evaluation
Detailed evaluation of the pulse data is available with help of “Qi circulation” diagram. Please note, the
readings of this diagram will be valid only if you have taken pulse at proper pulse positions (see the
section “Pulse registration” of present manual).
As it was mentioned before, “Qi circulation diagram” is used at rare complicated cases and this
approach requires much more time fro analysis then the method of fast evaluation.
Normally, at balanced health condition the "Qi circulation" diagram shows different reading at different
procedures of measurements:
Very Important note:
o
In the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon: " there is the following sentence: "Therefore it comes
out of the same, but the names are different. If you have wisdom - get down to the same (look
for something that explains), but you are stupid, if looking for differences. ... ".
o
That is why a competent doctor will look only for similarities in changeable measurements of
pulse reading - exactly persistence of definite inclination from one measurement to another
one is the pathological source of disease. Permanent pattern of inclination disrupts the
harmony of coexistence of the body with harmony of the Nature because the Nature is
changeable at any a tiny moment. The standard Western logical approach usually unwittingly is
focusing on data that contradict each other and fluctuating data causes the mind confusion.
You should neutralize this inner impulse to analyze differences between readings but it is
required to concentrate only at duplicating data (signs of Qi flow abnormalities).
o
To select the most persistent inclinations of Qi, please use the function “Statistic” in
accordance with description below in this text.
Now let’s study the “Qi circulation” diagram:
24
Here are:
Red line – Wind Qi – Ca++ ion;
Black Yellow line – Heat Q – K+ ion;
Green line – Dampness Qi – OH- ion;
Turquoise line – Dryness Qi – Mg++ ion;
Blue line – Cold Qi – Na+ ion;
Purple line – Warm – H+ ion.
For the healthy and balanced person in dependence on daytime period (similar like for “Yang-Yin Qi”
diagram) in the “Qi circulation” chart the structure of inclinations must be as follow:
 For the Day profile – all Qi at Yin meridians are positive and at Yang meridians are negative;
 For the Night profile the inclinations are completely inversed to the Day profile.
At any case, ideally the +/- alteration of Qi inclinations must exist between Yin and Yang meridians.
For example for the represented case above there is night time profile.
If we would like to be absolutely at ideal, inside each meridians also there is inner structure of Qi:
The main ion (Qi) that is associated with given meridian has the most high inclination at moment of it’s
period of activity inside the daily cycle. Other Qi has less inclination in accordance with order of mutual
birth – the rule of energy transformation in Traditional Chinese Medicine. For example here is the
hierarchy of Q in meridians (Qi are shown in association with colour and ion):
For HT at Daytime and for LI at Night time:
For HT at Night time and for LI at Daytime:
25
For LU at Daytime and for SI at Nighttime:
For LU at Nighttime and for SI at Daytime:
The same principles of Hierarchy is used for other meridians. Please note this theoretical ideal Qi
disposition is impossible to reach, otherwise we were immortal being. It will be excellent progress, if
we will be able to managed Qi only by Day and Night profile.
At given sample above of the “Qi circulation” diagram (there is Night profile here) it is worth only to
elevate Qi at negative area for ST, LI and TE meridians and turn positive Qi into negative side in
meridians SP, LU and PC. If the meanings of Qi are in the borders from +20% to+50% and from -20% to
-50%, the balance is considered as excellent. Meaning of Qi near zero line (+/- 20%) indicate tendency
to stagnation and meanings higher +50% or lower -50% are considered as potentially pathogenic.
Please note high stress may be reflected in form of ideal distribution of Qi, but it will have inclination
more then +/-50%. At given sample we can see stressed meridians: LR, KI and HT.
In the graph, "Absolute values of distortions" there is the analysis of the general energy of Qi in
meridians. Values more, than 100% mean the excess of general energies and it can cause acute
diseases.
Values less than 100% mean the lack of energies and it leads to stagnation and degradation of organs
associated with proper meridians.
26
In our sample LR, KI and HT are in state of high energetic level, but ST, SP and LU indicate stagnation of
energies.
Please remember, this readings are valid only for correct pulse taking from proper positions. If positions
are ignored for some reason (lack of limb, skin damage, etc), we can rely only on “Yang-Yin Qi” diagram,
but at this case also be known that pulse taking only from one side of the body can loose information
regarding the right-left imbalance.
2. Section “TriDosha”
At this section Ayurvedic Tridosha are represented. There are two diagrams:
- Diagram “Tridosha status of Meridians (Space)”.
At this diagram represented Tridosha balance INSIDE meridians:
Pitta – Red colour line,
Kapha – Yellow colour line,
Vata –Blue colour line.
Green dotted line – summarized average activity of all doshas at each meridian (it is the
same as Fulness reading).
27
 Pitta dosha - it is indicator of power of oxidative processes at inner space of cells,
level of production of ATP at mitochondrion. This is catabolic phase of metabolism,
there is acidity of extracellular fluids.
 Kapha dosha - it is indicator of power of anabolic processes in cells - cell's structures
are restoring with help of ATP. Anabolic phase in cells reduces blood acidity;
 Vata dosha - it is indicator of metabolic rate. The Vata dosha always increases
imbalance. At an excess of Pitta dosha there is acceleration of oxidation and
degradation of tissues, but at excess of Kapha dosha it is acceleration of tissue growth.
The graph "Summarized Doshas for Yin and Yang meridians" shows the combined value of the doshas
separately at Yin and Yang meridians, based on the diagram of Fulness (green dotted line in the chart
“Tridosha status of Meridians (Space)”. From this point of view the summarized doshas are external
relatively inner doshas of meridians. If deviations of internal and external doshas coincides, there is a
fact of pathology - normally internal doshas should balance the external doshas (they should have
different mutual disposition), i.e., the direction of doshas in meridians must be in opposition to the
disposition of appropriate dosha in chart of summarized tridosha.
Correspondence between tridosha and meridians:
Pitta dosha - activity of Liver, Pericardium, Small Intestine, Gall Bladder meridians;
Kapha dosha - activity of Spleen, Heart, Stomach, Triple Energizer meridian;
Vata dosha – activity of Lung, Kidneys, Large Intestine, Urinary Bladder meridians.
At given case above there is relative deficiency of Vata dosha at both diagrams “Tridosha status of
Meridians (Space)” and "Summarized Doshas for Yin and Yang meridians".
At The normal health condition average levels of dosha’s lines are at border from +20%to +50%. The
stagnation is from -20% to +20% . Readings lower then -20% indicates deficiency of energies,
Doshas at "Summarized Doshas for Yin and Yang meridians" has normal readings from +15% to +30%,
stagnation is from -15% to +15%, excess is more then 15%, deficiency is lower then -15%. At normal
state maximal difference be between columns of all tridosha is usually not more then 10%.
Normally at diagram “Tridosha status of Meridians (Space)” lines should be “intertwined”.
There are 3 specific types of diagrams are possible:
a. Active phase of illness (at given case it is pneumonia):
28
Lines of tridosha are disposed almost parallelly (they are not “intertwined”) – there is high tension of
metabolic processes. At this case columns at "Summarized Doshas for Yin and Yang meridians” are
seen like at healthy condition and we have to understand the meanings at diagram “Tridosha status of
Meridians (Space)” and not to be being misled.
b. Normal energy condition:
The "Summarized Doshas for Yin and Yang meridians” normal level of energy at borders from
+15% to +30%. At diagram “Tridosha status of Meridians (Space)” energies are disposed mainly in
border from +20%to +50% (except Vata dosha). Difference between columns of all tridosha is less
then 10%.
29
c. Pathological deficiency of energy of all three doshas.
Energies have negative value in general. The source of pathology is Vata dosha - it has relative excess
at both diagrams: “Tridosha status of Meridians (Space)” and "Summarized Doshas for Yin and Yang
meridians”:
d. Metabolic chaos - mismatch of motion of energies at "Summarized Doshas for Yin and Yang
meridians” have different polarity in the context of excess and deficiency of energy:
3. Section Acid-Base balance»
Developers of PMA suggest, that the five above-mentioned chemical elements – H+, K+, Mg++,
Ca++, Na+ plus the water (carrier of the Fire-Minister in TCM, hydroxyl ion OH-) define the
metabolic environment for all the myriad of biochemical reactions in the body. Only certain
proportions of elements hold the required electrostatic resting membrane potential (RMP) of
cells. RMP creates proper condition for the large number of ionic pumps in living cells.
Knowledge about the distribution of potentials among functional systems can help to
understand the imbalances of the body as whole synchronized object. For example, the shift
30
towards the acidic condition of blood accelerates the growth of collagen, reduces the
permeability of membranes, but from the other hand the shift to the alkaline side promotes the
dissolution of proteins and fats, increase degradation of morphological structures of cells.
First, here is the legend of diagrams of four indicators:
- Blue line - the acid-base balance (ABB) within the cell. Ideally, at the active state of the cell
(state of Yang) blue line should be at small negative position (about minus 10%). The more
negative values reinforce the processes of degradation cell’s structures. A positive value will
informs about overcompensation of recovery processes after stress or inclination to
uncontrolled cell division.
- Red Line - ABB outside of cells. Ideally, the red line should be at the level of plus 10%. The
more high position informs about risk of inflammatory reactions of the cell. Readings more than
10% indicate functional deficiency of cells (lack of Ca++ ions), while negative values shows
pathological processes with destruction of the structures of the intercellular space.
- Purple Line – ABB of the blood. Ideally this line should be at plus 50%. It indicates a normal
acid shift of blood. More positive values of purple line correspond to the more acidic blood and
indicate an attempt to detoxify the body, to destroy damaging agent located in the intercellular
liquid. More alkaline reaction of the blood is indicated by a more negative level of purple line –
in this case process of rejuvenation is fast so far as the cancer risk also increases.
- Green Line - the RMP of active cells. The ideal level of the green line is plus 10%. Excessive
levels mean the risk of inflammatory reactions of cells. Deficiency of green line indicates the
dysfunction of cells. The negative potential shows the development of pathological processes.
At ABB diagram there are integrative indicators – Tension and Balance.
Tension
Tension indicator for Yin and Yang meridians shows the quantity of metabolic energy in comparing with
normal level. In our case, there is a positive deviation of the intensity of 65% for the Yin meridians and
20% for the Yang meridians. Deviation at the range of 20% is norm. For positive values of tension
usually shows excess of metabolic energy, stress in the body and active phase of the battle with
diseases. The lack of metabolic energy associated with a predominance of anabolic reactions, and
depletion of body functions. We always should lead the condition to the zero tension when we make a
correction.
31
Balance
Balance figure is a general indicator of deviation from the norm of Qi. Normal value of Balance is 75%.
Higher value may indicate deficiency of energy. The lower value lower then 75% means the process of
disease development. The lower reading shows more hard disease in dependence on how far reading
from 75%.
4.
Section “Qi Matrix”
The Matrix represents Qi deviation in the table form. Excess of Qi is indicated by positive figures and
red colour.
The deficiency of Qi is shown by negative values and blue colour
Qi Warm (Fire-Minister element) has positive value (acid blood reaction) in case when sum of
intercellular and intracellular medium has alkaline reaction - the intercellular and intracellular liquid has
excess of alkaline agents and these destroy cell’s structures. At alkaline blood reaction the condition
promotes for building of cells – tissues grow fast.
From this point of view the obesity metabolism and atherosclerosis may be explained – the more high
blood alkalinity provides fast cells grow and at the same time the circulatory system is damaging by
alkaline agents and free radicals. The body tries to repair blood vessels by cholesterol. That is why
natural way to decrease obesity and decrease level of blood cholesterol is acidification of blood (all
antioxidants do it). But there is the second part of the problem with antioxidants – their excessive
consumption decreases rate of cells renovation and it is also the way to the aging. This contradiction is
old as the life itself – everything should be balanced!
The great problem with cancer disease is also associated with blood pH balance. As you can
understand now – the blood alkalinity increases the cancer possibility. Probably you know, many
32
treatment protocols of cancer disease include consumption of some quantity of vinegar, especially
useful is apple vinegar with high concentration of potassium (in above written text we mentioned the
potassium is intracellular alkaline agent and excessive concentration of this mineral increases cell’s
destruction).
Doctor Jarvis was used this folk medicine receipt to cure many hard patients with help of Apple Cider
Vinegar.
On the example of our table a patient with diabetes can be seen that the growth of cell structures
prevails in all meridians except the Liver (LR). Liver is forced to gradual degradation to compensate for
the excess growth of cell structures in other meridians.
5. Print
All analysis data can be printed or exported into graphical file.
Recipe – correlation analysis
Correlation analysis compares the specified data with digital pulse analysis profile to determine
possible therapeutic effects of each element of given list of remedy. It allow select the most effective
way of health correction, identify contraindications, studiey of changes in metabolism after treatment
procedures.
It consists of three sections:
- Archive;
- Resources;
- Correlation.
Archive was designed to select the desired patient (1), and select the desired recording pulse data
(2):
33
Components – section, where the PMA user can select the desired file of components (1). The
components data will be compared with patient data. Each entry in the file of components (2) has a
specific profile of influence at the metabolism. This profile is shown in the matrix (3) or tape form
(4). This section also allows you to see the description of components:
Correlation – section, where the PMA user can run the calculation of correlation analysis (1) and
get a list of sorted elements of components (2) in order to reduce contradictions with the patient
health condition. At the end of the list there will be components with the most high objections to
the analyzed pulse data. The value of compliance is calculated for each component (3) and it is
indicated by “Correlation with diagnosis %”. The list of components may be limited with help
"Gray lines limit" parameter (4). This limit is also implemented to the printed list of components
(5). If the "Gray lines limit" is zero, then all components will be printed as a sorted list.

Nota Bene: Qi in charts below are associated with systems in following order:
 for Yang meridians: Wind – Urinary Bladder, Heat – Large intestine, Dampness –
Gall Bladder, Dryness – Small Intestine. Cold – Stomach;
 For Yin meridians: Wind – Liver, Heat – Heart, Dampness – Spleen, Dryness –
Lungs, Cold - Kidneys
The “Analysis” section:
3.1. “Top 10” subsection of “Analysis” section. This window shows 10 Qi (there are 60 Qi totally –
12 meridians x 6 Qi) that have the most high arithmetic sum of inclination for given quantity of
readings. The inclinations number 1, 2 and 3 are essential and they are cause of energetic
pathology for given patient because they indicated the most persistent pattern (stable pattern is
always pathology in our permanently changeable word – it means low level of adaptation to the
influence of environment).
For the given patient we have diagram as follows:
Here are 3 main inclinations:
o
Deficiency of Cold in Kidney. It means deficiency of Kidneys energy at Kidneys itself
o
Deficiency of Wind in Lungs. It means deficiency of Liver in Lungs;
o
Excess of Cold in Urinary Bladder. It means excess of Stomach energy in Urinary Bladder.
3.2. “Top 10 ABS” subsection of “Analysis” section. This diagram indicates absolute sum of
inclinations in selected series of pulse readings for 10 Qi of total quantity of 60 Qi. Absolute
36
sum have meaning of general energy of interaction, associated with proper Qi. It is dangerous
situation if the first 3 Qi from this diagram coincide with first 3 Qi from the chart “Top 10”.
At given case we see the most highest energy level of interaction:
o Heat (Large Intestine) in Gall Bladder;
o Cold (Kidneys) in Kidneys;
o Heat (Large Intestine) in Large Intestine.
On the base of “Top 10” and “Top 10 ABS” diagrams we can see coincidence of Cold in Kidneys. It is the
most pathological pattern for given patient. From the metabolic point of view it lack of Na+ ion inside
the Kidneys cell, lack of catabolic activity, conditions for creation of Kidneys cysts and dysfunction, if it
will remain in future.
1.3.
“Top 10 S6” subsection of “Analysis” section. It is diagram to compare Qi Warm of FireMinister element. Warm Qi is energy of interaction of meridians with environment.
Normally it should be at a range 20-40% both at negative of positive site. Also in
dependence on metabolic condition (day or night type) the meaning of inclination should
be as follows:
o
o
Day type: Warm Qi of Yin meridians are positive, but for Yang meridians are
negative;
Night type: Warm Qi of Yin meridians are negative, but for Yang meridians are
positive.
From the other hand inclinations of Warm Qi indicate pH balance of arterial (Fire-Minister of Yang
meridians) and venous (fire-Minister of Yin meridians) blood relatively homeostatic norm (positive
inclination means shift to acid side, negative inclination means shift to alkaline side).
Normally, if the patient is not sleeping, his condition must have Day profile of inclination, otherwise we
consider the existence of hypoxia of the body.
37
For given patient we also select first 3 Qi in list.
There are:
- Mainly positive Stomach;
- Negative Liver;
- Mainly negative Heart.
It is not good sign – we have night profile and Stomach, Liver and Heart metabolic condition create the
most powerful negative effect in this case.
