Abstract

Modern concepts of biotypology are based on embryological concepts. Based on the work of Nebel and Vannier, described in part I of this article, Bernard related endoblast mesoblast and ectoblast to Carbonic, Sulphuric and Phosphoric constitutions respectively. These in turn are linked to particular morphologies and disease susceptibilities, and the question of an inherited tuberculous predisposition has been much debated. The reaction of particular biotypes to stress has been analysed in terms of Selye’s Adaptation Syndrome.

Bernard has also analysed the pathological progression of biotypes in terms of a sequence of salts: Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, Sodium, Barium and Ammonium
