Presomatic Syndrome
Presomatic Syndrome (PSS) is a clinical manifestation of an early disease-formative process, where conventionally diagnosable diseases are not present yet. The syndrome usually manifests as a hyperfunction, hypofunction or dysfunction of various body parts. An individual’s well-being is noticeably disturbed, but standard diagnostic tests still show an “all clear” situation.
PSS is an emergency state, where compensatory mechanisms of the body struggle to maintain integrity of the biological terrain. Once these mechanisms are exhausted, a disease “suddenly appears”.
PSS is a precursor for all acquired diseases. It is a common denominator for a variety of seemingly unrelated pathologies such as flu, measles, dermatitis, arthritis, MS or cancer. The specificity, intensity and persistency of one’s PSS define the nature of the oncoming disease, which could be entirely prevented if PSS is therapeutically addressed.
Stressful lifestyles and environmental stressors only facilitate the manifestation of the PSS, which is the major reason why the syndrome is “spreading” so rapidly, and already takes a large proportion of the Primary Health Care.

Symptoms & Signs
Unlike a physically developed disease, a Presomatic Syndrome is rarely allocated to one specific physical organ or system. It usually manifests as a combination of symptoms from several disorderly physiological systems, as categorized below:
Psychological PSS: irritability, apathy, depression, mood swings, insomnia, lack of concentration…
Neuro-endocrine PSS: period problems, sluggish metabolism, chronic fatigue, frequent infections…
Skin PSS: very dry or oily skin, dandruff, excess or lack of sweating, itchiness, non-specific spots…
Musculoconnective PSS: fibromyalgia or localized aches and pains like headaches, backache or neck ache…
Skeletal PSS: growing pains, exaggerated spinal curvatures, postural asymmetry…
Respiratory PSS: respiratory congestion, shallow breathing, tendency to spasmodic cough or hiccupping…
Cardiovascular PSS: palpitations, cold extremities, migraine, tendency to localized edema…
Digestive PSS: tendency to nausea, diarrhea, constipation, indigestion, belching, flatulence, abdominal distention…
Uroreproductive PSS: frequent urination, painful intercourse, local discomfort, difficulties to conceive…
Sensory PSS: occasional tinnitus or dizziness, floaters, refractory anomalies such as short – sightedness…
A typical PSS sufferer experiences muscular pains and aches, tiredness, constipation or diarrhea, bloatedness, cravings, apathy, mood swings and prolonged feeling of dissatisfaction. More advanced forms of PSS would include Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

Conventional Medicine
The majority of people suffering PSS spend weeks and months, sometimes even years, visiting GP’s and undergoing various diagnostic procedures, only to be told that all is well and how healthy they actually are. These contradictory statements from medical establishments leave PSS sufferers feeling helpless, while their Health continues to deteriorate.
Sadly, this vicious circle quite commonly reaches the stage, where affected people are unnecessarily treated with aggressive medication, diagnosed as neurotic or simply considered as being hypochondriacs. In either situation, the valuable time for bioregulation of disturbed homeostasis is lost, and physical and usually chronic pathology eventually sets in.
Dealing with patients suffering PSS puts doctors in a very challenging position. The major dilemma facing Physicians is how to successfully treat a patient that shows symptoms of a diagnostically not yet evident disease, often with the knowledge that their mainly techno- pharmaco-surgical approach cannot offer a satisfactory medical solution. Consequently, doctors are frequently brought into situations where they can only deeply empathize and try to encourage those patients, while feeling professionally confused or frustrated.
Regardless of the doctors’ choice of treatment for PSS patients, be it: applying series of diagnostic procedures, prescribing pharmacological drugs, diagnosing hypochondria, neurasthenia or blaming it all on to stress and offering words of encouragement; the sad truth remains: modern physicians are not able to treat PSS, as they are simply not trained how to do so.

Bioregulatory Medicine
Presomatic Syndrome is the “last preventative call” demanding immediate Bioregulatory therapeutic measures.
Bioregulatory Medicine is a new medical paradigm, dedicated to improve affected aspects of Health, rather than treating symptoms of a disease.
Bioregulatory therapy helps PSS sufferers by getting them re-hydrated, re-mineralized and detoxified appropriately. The treatment also involves releasing and restructuring restricted body parts, and improving oxygenation, circulation and innervations of the affected areas. During PSS Bioregulatory treatment, suppressed emotions are recognized, liberated and therapeutically integrated, to help patients adopt a positive outlook in dealing with stressful situations in life.
Such a “human version of MOT” has been formulated by Dr Tatyana Bosh, who designed the Psychosomatic Bodywork, a specific Bioregulatory methodology to meet the needs of PSS sufferers, and to deliver them back to Health.
The concept of Bioregulatory Medicine was postulated by Dr Tatyana Bosh and Dr Damir Shakambeth in 1995, at the Biomedic Centre in London. The Centre is an innovative clinic and also holds the Academy for Bioregulatory Medicine of which I graduated from in 2011.
