THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM


The respiratory system consists in a whole of "respiratory tracts" starting from the nose to the smallest lung ramifications and the alveolar lung tissue where the gaseous exchanges occur.

The respiratory tracts (CF2) are in direct relation with a conflict of territorial threat. It will be the different variations in the subjective colouring as well as the extent and the duration of the conflict that will determine the multiplicity of the clinical tables. In the second phase, the infection will, for example, be a cold or a sinusitis after having "scented" a threat ("I can not scent him"; "it smells bad"…) while a bronchitis will follow a more consistent conflict. In the severe cases, what is called "lung cancer" will only utter itself by the characteristic coughing, spitting and radiological image (the image is not the one of the tumour but of the lung zone oblated by the repairing sealing of the lung ventilating it) after the solution of a major conflict.

If the respiratory tracts, including the trachea and the larynx, are subjected to infections in the second phase, asthma is a particular case. This affection rests on the configuration of two conflicts, one of which affects, either the muscles of the larynx (laryngeal asthma, inspiratory), or the muscles of the bronchi (bronchial asthma, expiratory) and the other one concerns the contra-lateral hemisphere. If both conflicts affect larynx and bronchi, the oppression touches as well the inspiration as the expiration. The variations within the clinical image of asthma (short crisis, prolonged dyspnoea, presence of other symptoms, …) depend on the respective state of both conflicts (activity, solution, epileptoid crisis, etc…).

The lung alveoli (CF1) correspond to a much more archaic conflict than the territorial notion: it is the feeling of an intense danger, fear of dying and especially fear of suffocating. Still according to the importance of the conflict, it may vary from a small stain to a massive invasion of the lung, giving respectively a banal pneumonia or a long and painful tuberculosis or other microbial reduction. Concerning lung metastases, poetically called balloon launch, they especially are on the lookout for the cancerous patient in his fighting run … according to the spiral of words.

The pleura (CF1): conflict of attack against the thoracic cavity. It may be a real traumatism, but most often it is the diagnosis: the shock of learning about a "cancer" of the lung, the breast, etc. The proliferations (called mesothelioma) are encysted or destroyed in the 2nd phase, with the production of an oedema: it is the pleural extravasation that may entail a respiratory tightness.
