Through the examination of EC at the pulses the therapist gathers an enormous quantity of information concerning the “state” and the “history” of the patient, that is about the individual's "terrain" which offers an identification of the sick patient as well as his troubles.The disease appears in a sectorial area determined by a relationship within the spatial-temporal “movement”, inside which takes place the transformation which, usually, proceeds through a number of passages through different “states” or neurophysiological processes, occurring inside the individual's internal and external environment.

By eliminating the dualistic concept of the body-psyche and by unifying the dynamic concepts of body-mind, at the examination of the EC at the pulses it is possible to observe the physical and psychic phenomenological origin of the chaotic events which are at the root of the alterations inside the energetic rhythm.

The “states” of the organs and functions resulting from metabolic alterations or from changes in emotional states cause interactions which evolve into alterations of the rhythms of the EC inside the physiological area involved.

The results obtained through the examination of the EC at the pulses must be analyzed from a holistic and analogical perspective. It is necessary to give expression to the information received in a double manner through a logical language, for understanding the symptoms-symbols, and through an analogical language, in order to describe the relationship among organs, functions, systems and subsystems, according to the anatomical and physiological descriptions contained in CTM. CTM conceives of the human body as an interdependent federation, whose reunion forms the personality of the individual, id est. his physical, psychic and mental life.

The use of the analogical language offers a rapid perception of every complex situation. The holistic dialectic leads to a syncretic control of an individual in his environment and in his future development.

In CTM the doctor-patient relationship is simplified by the fact that diagnosis and therapy are based on the direct, objective observation of the patient and not on the illness.

The examination of the EC at the pulses aims towards evidencing the individual characteristics of the patient’s complex system with linear or chaotic dynamics. The patient is considered in his entirety, in his individuality, starting from the diagnostic assessment of the pathologic evolution, in order to develop an appropriate therapeutic program.

The therapist looks for a panoramic view of the patient’s energetic circulation by examining the relationships among the subsystems, the state of activity of the single organs and of their functioning; the correlations at various levels, superficial and deep, in rhythmic or cyclic variations. This examination, in the flow of “time”, must refer to various levels inside “space”, superficial and deep. The basic notions originate in a deep knowledge of embryology and of functional energetics, fundamental to Oriental physiology. It is during the embryonic period that systems, subsystems, orientations, interactions develop, according to the characteristic genetic directives necessary to enact the program made to manage that linear or chaotic temporal dynamic continuum which is at the origin of the “emergent” properties within the complex system of every living being.

CTM does not recognize the dualism of the mind-body. The functioning of the organs and its energetic dynamic equilibrium present physical and psychic manifestations. It is an integrated holistic approach, which takes into consideration the dynamic physical processes as well as the abnormal psychic tensions at the root of pathological conflicts and behaviours.

The great CTM teachings consists in the demonstration that a disequilibrium, in any organ or function, can be the consequence of a disequilibrium inside the emotional or environmental life. The individual manifests this energetic disequilibrium when he is no longer capable of dominating the Self, his future, his destiny.

In neurovegetative distonia, psychic tensions, neuroses, as well as in many chronic pathologies showing organic manifestations, is evident the stress due to a prevailing endogenous onset, manifestations of interior conflict of a psychic, psycho-somatic, environmental nature.

Through the examination of the energetic equilibrium at the pulses are obtained indispensable information for identifying the causality or the casuality of energetic alterations, in order to reprogram the altered energetic dynamics and formulate a therapeutic program useful to the psycho-physical sphere. In most cases, the results will be surprisingly rapid and satisfactory.

The therapist practicing CTM must consider the double complex aspect of the patient's temporal and atemporal reality. Therefore great must be his universe of experience and vast his capacity for a global, intuitive view of the symbolic thought processes. Deep rooted and strong must be his ethical principles, which requires him to consider his task complete only when the patient is restored to full equilibrium and order with the universal laws of nature.

If restoring the equilibrium inside the energetic circulation and reharmonizing the rhythms of the metabolic functions are an important part of the therapeutic program, it is just as important to be able to dialogue with the patient’s unconscious, in order to discover through the “symptom-symbol”,the chaotic event at the root of the somatizations which maintain permanent chaotic movements over the flow of time, .

The stabilisation of energetic equilibrium means “preventing”, not “curing”, the illness, whose development can be preventively avoided.
