BioMetaTest® FAQ: Food Intolerance Tests Explained

An allergy is a condition that involves the immune system and can be investigated through specific tests such as the RAST test, the Prick test, challenge tests, immunoglobulin tests, the Cito test and all those categories of tests that take into consideration the biological and functional pathways of an immune reaction to a food.

Food intolerance, on the other hand, is based on methods that investigate the reactions of the metabolic system. These tests include the Vegatest, Voll bioenergetics, the kinesiological test and the BioMetaTest®.

Nutritional intolerance is a separate category within the class of intolerances and is based on the organoleptic characteristics of foods, in relation to how a food, once it enters the metabolism, affects the subject’s bioenergetic mechanism.

This is why apparently paradoxical cases may occur: for example, being intolerant to almonds but not to almond liqueur, or being intolerant to yeast but not to rye bread containing yeast.

In these cases, the individual properties of a complex food are observed in its overall whole, and not at a molecular level as would happen in an allergy test.

Diabetes and nutritional intolerance are different conditions. Diabetes is a disease, while nutritional intolerance is considered a temporary disturbance.

A person could even be coeliac and still appear tolerant to flour in the BioMetaTest®, because nutritional intolerances are different from molecular intolerances, such as coeliac disease, lactose intolerance, favism and similar conditions.

Official medicine recognizes the term food intolerances to indicate genetic metabolic defects such as favism, coeliac disease, lactose intolerance due to lactase deficiency, etc. More modern systems linked to the introduction of German bioelectronics have not yet been catalogued in the same way.

Daphne Lab, in order to distinguish its BioMetaTests of Food Intolerances from other types of intolerances already coded by official medicine, coined the term Biointolerances, today also known as nutritional intolerance.

Biointolerances are therefore different from allergies, immune diseases, genetic intolerances, food hypersensitivities and other similar conditions. According to the Daphne Lab method, nutritional intolerances, or biointolerances, are measured through the technology of Daphne Lab laboratories. Other technologies measure different characteristics and different modes of expression of an allergy or an intolerance, but not nutritional intolerance.

The Daphne BioMetaTest® is a bioenergetic test and measures the percentage index of nutritional biointolerances, not allergies.

Different tests can give different results. It is like performing an X-ray, a CT scan and an MRI on the same area: some findings may be common, while others may appear in one examination and not in another.

Each test represents a different point of view: different types of tests may therefore be needed to highlight whether a subject is intolerant, allergic and/or deficient in digestive enzymes. There are many intolerance tests and many allergy tests; doing them all may lead to discordant results, not necessarily because they are ineffective, but because the right test must be chosen according to the symptom and the objective to be achieved.

A doctor will be able to recognize the difference between intolerances, allergies and enzyme deficiencies; for this reason, we always recommend consulting your doctor or an expert in the field.

For example, a person may be intolerant to basil but not to Genoese pesto made with basil.

This condition is called the synergy paradox. It all depends on a chemical-physical phenomenon that is very common in medicine: synergy. It is possible to be intolerant to yeast but not to wholemeal bread that contains it, simply because wholemeal flour may reduce the intolerance component of yeast.

For the same reason, a person may be intolerant to sugar but not to certain biscuits that contain it. The issue depends on the synergistic biofrequencies of compounds: a biofrequency may be attenuated when it is in synergy with other elements, so an intolerant frequency may not be intolerant in the presence of other synergistic frequencies, just as it could also increase and generate the opposite phenomenon.

For this reason, it is necessary to speak of nutritional intolerances and not only food intolerances, because nutritional intolerances also include and manage the phenomenon of synergy.

No. The BioMetaTest® is not a clinical, medical or diagnostic test.

No, the method used is biospectrophotometry and has nothing to do with DNA testing.

The name Daphne contains a double meaning: on one side rational, logical, mathematical and technological; on the other mythological, symbolic, imaginative and fairy-tale-like. Just as duality is present in every form of life, Daphne expresses this double value, also typical of the caduceus of medicine.

Mythological meaning: Daphne was a beautiful nymph who lived happily among the woods of Olympus.

One day Apollo, proud of having killed the monstrous serpent Python, met Eros and mocked him because he had never performed deeds worthy of glory. The god of love, deeply hurt by Apollo’s words, took two arrows: one with a golden tip and one with a lead tip. He shot the golden-tipped arrow into Apollo’s heart and the lead-tipped arrow into the heart of the nymph Daphne.

Apollo fell desperately in love with Daphne, while she, having received the influence of lead, wanted nothing to do with his courtship. Daphne fled and was chased by Apollo for months, until, exhausted, she invoked Gaia, her protector, asking to be freed from that torment. The Mother of the nymphs transformed Daphne into a laurel tree.

Apollo desperately tried to embrace the tree and find his beloved Daphne again, who by then existed only in the form of a plant. From that moment, Apollo proclaimed that laurel should become a symbol of Victory and Honour, to be placed on the head as an honour. Later it was also used as a symbol of wisdom on the heads of poets and philosophers.

Technological meaning: Daphne also conceals a technological soul, as it is the acronym of the technology used for BioMetaTest® analysis: Device Amplitude Phase Health Natural Eubiology.

It is a new-generation device that uses 4-dimensional frequency waves with amplification of the biological signal through metasubstance, entirely in biospectrophotometry. According to Daphne Lab, it is a patented system, unique in the world, based on patents and software capable of processing more than 50,000 calculations and testing 3,500 elements per second.

There are many systems for detecting food intolerances. Some are based on weak and psychological signals, such as Vega or EAV, or on unconscious systems such as kinesiology.

The Daphne BioMetaTest® system, on the other hand, is presented as a stable system based on a mathematical model and on an investigation system in biospectrophotometry, with genebionic processing through a genetic algorithm.

The analysis system and the signal coding program allow Daphne Lab laboratories to detect very weak signals which, according to the Daphne method, could escape other investigation systems.

Daphne Lab’s Palladium technology system is defined as third generation. According to Daphne Lab, it received a reliability report from the ASL with 94% reliability and complies with international ISO 9001 quality standards.

To learn more, you can also visit the page dedicated to the BioMetaTest method.

The first generation of intolerance tests was introduced by Arthur Coca, with a test performed subjectively by listening to the pulse. The first generation includes all kinesiological tests that observe muscle strength, pulse, iris, etc.

The second-generation test introduced a machine between the subject and the operator. This greatly reduced the degree of error in the results, but the system was still exposed to variations in sensitivity from both the patient and the doctor.

The third-generation test no longer involves variables such as the operator or the subject that may influence the analysis system. Instead, it involves a machine that analyses a biological tissue sample according to very strict mathematical models.

According to Daphne Lab, the Palladium technology of Daphne Lab laboratories received, from a study on data reliability and repeatability, 94% repeatability from Italian health research bodies, ASL and AIAS, and complies with ISO 9001 quality standards in the EA38 healthcare field.

The BioMetaTest® of Daphne Lab laboratories can also be performed on blood. However, this sample is often not requested because it is difficult to ship, except through special and authorized couriers, with very high costs.

A blood test, if cytological or allergological in nature, is an allergy-type test and verifies the response of the immune system.

The Daphne Lab BioMetaTest® is instead based on biospectrophotometry and verifies biointolerances or other enzymatic, chemical or organic disturbance fields.

Hair, unlike blood, preserves the history of the individual’s nutrition and not only a snapshot of the moment.

The version of the BioMetaTest® is indicated with the wording “Vers. xxx”, shown at the bottom of the test page or at the end of the document.

To find out whether your test is updated to the latest version, you can contact Daphne Lab through the contact us page.

Yes. Examples of the BioMetaTest® can be viewed and browsed on the page dedicated to Daphne Lab BioMetaTests.

Yes, it is important to enter all the information clearly and honestly, because incomplete or incorrect details could affect the result of the BioMetaTest®.

Specific instructions are available for completing form 62. You can consult them here:
instructions for completing form 62.

For the BioMetaTest®, hair, body hair or even a saliva swab can be used.

Specific instructions are available for collecting the sample. You can view them here:
sample collection instructions.

No, no special preparation is required. There is no need to fast or take specific medication before the test.

It is not necessary to be accompanied. The person can also go alone to take the test and return home independently.

No, the test is not painful and does not cause any specific discomfort.

No. For the sample collection, it is enough to cut a small lock of hair or body hair.

Some operators may also collect a small amount of cells from the mouth using a saliva swab, without causing any particular discomfort.

Collecting the sample and completing the request only takes a few minutes.

Once the sample has arrived at the logistics laboratory, the result is generally processed in about five working days.

The company complies with privacy regulations. To preserve customer anonymity, it is possible to use a pseudonymisation system: the test may therefore show a made-up name, an alphanumeric code or only the first name.

In these cases, the customer must send a copy of a valid identity document, sign the form 62 by hand in the three fields on the back, and indicate on the form the name or code to be used on the test.

The BioMetaTest® can also be performed on children, elderly people, dogs and cats, without particular problems.

However, Daphne Lab prefers to exclude pregnant women, because the laboratory does not take responsibility for providing diets or protocols to women during pregnancy.

Yes, the test can be performed from birth onwards. There is in fact a specific class of tests called Junior tests.

In general, if the newborn is breastfed, the test is performed on the child, but the protocol will be followed by the mother. It is always recommended to proceed under the advice of a doctor or paediatrician.

Yes, the test can also be performed on newborns and breastfed babies. The test is performed on the baby, while the nutritional intolerance diet must be followed by the mother until breastfeeding has ended.

If the child is in the weaning phase, they should avoid baby foods containing products that have tested as intolerant. In the meantime, the mother should continue to follow the diet until breastfeeding has ended and should still take lactic ferments.

Yes, this is possible. However, we always recommend viewing the examples before requesting the test, so that the most suitable option can be chosen.

You can view the examples on the page dedicated to Daphne Lab BioMetaTests.

Yes, it is advisable to be followed by a professional who can assess whether the BioMetaTest® is suitable for the specific case and whether the protocol can be correctly applied to the subject’s physiology.

The BioMetaTest® should be interpreted by Daphne Lab experts, in order to plan the dietary programme together and assess the most appropriate methods, also according to individual needs and specific issues.

Daphne Lab has experts who can prepare a personalized dietary plan, a tailor-made wellness protocol or a simple personalized interpretation of the test.

For information about costs and interpretation methods, you can contact Daphne Lab through the contact us page.

The values and letters shown in Thema 400-Thema 01 represent proteins, sugars, fats, cholesterol, fibres, kilocalories, the glycaemic index of foods and the percentage of intolerance.

All these values are indicated on the side of the first page of the test and help provide a more complete reading of the nutritional and functional information reported in the BioMetaTest®.

The personal threshold is a percentage value assigned to each patient by Daphne Lab’s patented geno-bionic software, based on the wave obtained from the bio-spectrophotometric analysis of the biological sample and from data-metric information such as weight, height, pathologies, conditions, profiles, etc.

All foods with a value higher than the personal threshold are considered nutritionally intolerant and are shown in red.

These foods should be eliminated for a period of 60 or 90 days. After this period, they may be gradually reintroduced, starting from the least intolerant food, according to a weaning programme. Alternatively, the BioMetaTest® can be repeated after approximately 60 or 90 days.

Negative percentages represent the least intolerant foods and those that, from a functional point of view, may even be considered beneficial for the organism.

For any interpretation needs, you can write to Daphne Lab, contact your Daphne Point or use the contact us page.

Foods marked with an * are considered too acidifying: they may alter the biological terrain and slow down the metabolism.

Foods marked with a #, on the other hand, help counteract tissue acidity and support better metabolic regulation.

For this reason, foods marked with the # are generally preferred.

No. Even if a food does not appear to be intolerant, this does not mean that it can be eaten at any time, in any quantity and without any criteria.

For example, if a person is not intolerant to carrots, this does not mean they can decide to eat four kilos of carrots a day simply because they are tolerated.

The phenomenon of tolerability, just like intolerance, also depends on quantity, frequency, food combinations, seasonality and other individual factors.

For this reason, it is necessary to be followed by a professional, choosing someone who is properly trained in managing BioMetaTests of nutritional intolerances.

A nutritional intolerance concerns the oral intake and digestion of a food.

External use of coconut oil, for example as a cosmetic on the skin or hair, usually does not involve the same issues, because it does not affect the digestive system.

However, each person may have different skin sensitivities. If redness, itching or discomfort occurs, it is better to stop using it.

For greater safety, it is advisable to test it first on a small area of skin before using it regularly.

Biofunctional nutritional intolerances do not always follow a linear logic.

The same food may produce different reactions depending on its form, processing or method of consumption. For example, a fine-grain cereal may be more reactive than a coarse-grain version.

Therefore, this is not necessarily a contradiction: it means that the body may react differently depending on the form and treatment of the food.

The practical indication is to follow the results of the test, observe the reactions and choose the variants or sub-variants that do not cause discomfort, avoiding those that appear reactive.

The same principle applies here: biofunctional nutritional intolerances may vary according to the processing, preservation method and way in which the food is consumed.

Tuna in brine and tuna in oil, although they come from the same food, have different characteristics in terms of composition, processing and preservation.

The same can happen with other foods: a toasted product may have different characteristics from a derivative such as butter; cheeses and dairy products, even if they come from the same animal, undergo processes that change their composition and therefore the body’s response; whole oat grains may give a different result from oat flakes.

For this reason, it is important to follow the specific indications reported in the BioMetaTest® and not automatically generalize from one variant to another.

Aggregated cereals are not a specific plant species, but a nutritional category that indicates a set of cereals processed and combined together.

This category includes various cereals that have undergone industrial transformations, such as flakes, puffed cereals, mixtures or processed flours.

It is therefore not a single cereal, such as wheat, rice or corn, but a heterogeneous set of cereal-derived products, often intended for breakfast or other quick consumption.

Nutritional intolerances refer to the ingestion and digestion of a food.

Use in aromatherapy, therefore by inhalation or external application through essential oils, does not involve the digestive system in the same way.

However, sage and bay essential oils are highly concentrated and may be irritating or sensitizing for the skin or respiratory tract.

It is therefore advisable to be careful: avoid direct use if reactions have already occurred and, if you wish to try them, use them only diluted and test a small amount first.

In case of doubts or reactions, it is better to stop using them and choose alternative essences.

Coffee prepared with a moka pot and bar espresso coffee are two products with different organoleptic properties.

Homemade moka coffee, prepared with a moka pot, is obtained through a slow boiling process from the bottom upwards.

This procedure extracts aromas, flavours and qualities that are different from bar espresso coffee, which is obtained at high temperature and with a rapid downward flow from top to bottom.

For this reason, within the logic of the BioMetaTest®, the two preparations may give different results.

Broccoli rabe, or turnip tops, belong to the botanical plant Brassica rapa sylvestris or Brassica rapa ruvo.

This term refers to the green inflorescence of the turnip “flower”, particularly the ruvo variety, typical of Apulia.

Broccoli rabe are edible green inflorescences used in cooking because they are sweeter, while the sylvestris varieties are more bitter and are often also used to refer to the so-called Neapolitan friarielli.

From a culinary point of view, Neapolitan friarielli mainly use the more bitter leaves rather than the tips of the inflorescences. There are also specific cultivars from Campania.

Although botanically they may belong to the same plant, they are different cultivars. Their compositions are never identical and different parts of the plant are used: the green flower tips for broccoli rabe, and the leaves for Neapolitan friarielli.

If goat’s milk, which is considered one of the best types of milk, causes this effect, it should be considered that diarrhoea may be interpreted as a discharge phenomenon and not necessarily as a pathological phenomenon.

In any case, it is always necessary to consult your paediatrician.

The child may be particularly allergic to some goat’s milk proteins, and this cannot be detected by a nutritional intolerance test.

We are often used to considering every abnormal reaction of the body as a pathology; in some cases, however, diarrhoea may be a form of discharge that the body uses to eliminate intestinal toxins, parasites or a condition of intestinal dysbiosis.

Furthermore, the colon is connected to the skin and, in the case described, the child also has dermatological problems. This may indicate a series of internal toxins due to previous poor nutrition or excessive use of medication.

This panel helps identify the most suitable and least intolerant meat cut.

Fatty, lean or semi-lean meat should be considered as non-intolerant within the list of foods divided into categories.

Once the compatible category has been identified, the preferred cut can be chosen by also taking into account the intolerance index: the lowest percentage is the most compatible one.

In the meat cuts table, it is therefore advisable to choose, among the compatible cuts, those with the lowest index.

Thema 02 and Thema 03 consider minerals from two different functional perspectives.

• Thema 02 verifies the endocrine functional aspect of minerals, aimed at the general rebalancing of diatheses and detoxification from metals.
• Thema 03 M&S verifies the role of minerals in relation to mental and cognitive performance.
• Thema 03 Fitness verifies the role of minerals in relation to sports performance.

For example, if Thema 08 had also been requested, which includes vitamins and minerals, the results would have been different from those of Thema 02 and Thema 03, because that test verifies these elements in relation to AntiAge functionality, that is, the role minerals play in supporting the body against free radicals and various forms of oxidation.

BioMetaTest® tests are functional and not quantitative tests: they therefore provide indications on how an element is functioning in a specific anatomical district or in specific processes.

Vitamin D, for example, may have an 80% function for bone health, 30% for the immune system, 56% as an anti-inflammatory function, and so on.

Each BioMetaTest® may detect a different functional percentage for the same element, depending on the district being analysed.

This is different from a quantitative blood test, which provides a single value of vitamin D in the blood, without indicating how this amount is distributed across the various functional districts.

For an overview of the available tests, you can visit the page dedicated to Daphne Lab BioMetaTests.

In general, each Daphne Lab test or panel analyses an element exclusively in relation to the specific function of that test.

For this reason, it is normal for the same element to show different values in different tests or panels.

In this specific case, the elements mentioned refer to the same basic substance, namely calcium phosphate, but they are used in two different therapeutic contexts and often also in different dilutions.

• Calcarea phosphorica in classical homeopathy: this remedy is chosen according to the homeopathic principle of “like cures like” and is often prescribed individually, based on the patient’s overall picture. Its use is guided by homeopathic materia medica and may involve a wide range of potencies, not only low ones. The theoretical context is that of classical homeopathy, with clinical evidence considered limited by institutional scientific assessments, such as the NCCIH.
• Calcium phosphoricum in Schüssler Salts, Salt No. 2: this element comes from Wilhelm Schüssler’s tissue salts tradition, which aims to rebalance cellular mineral deficiencies. It is generally used at low dilution, often D6, following an approach that is more “biochemical-regulatory” than the homeopathic principle of “like cures like”. This practice falls within the field of complementary medicine.

The most evident practical differences are the following:

• In pharmacies and common use, Schüssler Salt No. 2 is almost always Calcium phosphoricum D6 in tablets to be dissolved in the mouth.
• Homeopathic Calcarea phosphorica is available in many potencies, such as 5CH, 7CH, 9CH, 30CH and 200CH, in granules or drops, and the choice of potency follows Hahnemannian homeopathic logic.

In simple terms:

• Schüssler Salts: the same salt, in a standardized low homeopathic dose, used with the intention of “nourishing/regulating” the tissue.
• Classical homeopathy: the same salt, but applied according to the principle of similarity and chosen based on the patient’s overall profile for more complex symptomatic pictures.

In the case described, Calcium Phosphoricum appears critical in terms of functionality in the Schüssler Salts panel, while Calcarea Phosphorica shows adequate values in the homeopathic remedies panel.

Biointolerances are not stable over time: they may change, especially if certain foods are avoided for 60 days or if a detoxification programme is followed.

According to statistical studies, repeating the test may be important. People who repeated the test after 60 days, then after 90 days and finally after 120 days, are those who regained wellbeing and health more quickly, while keeping their wellness goals more stable.

Once the desired goal has been achieved, the follow-up test should normally be carried out after about 60 or 90 days, depending on the therapeutic plan initially chosen.

Afterwards, it may be useful to carry out a check after six months and then further follow-up tests once a year.

To reintroduce intolerant foods, after at least 60 or 90 days of avoidance, the process begins with the food that, among the intolerant ones, is the least intolerant overall.

In this way, one less intolerant food among the intolerant foods can be gradually reintroduced once a week, for each group.

It is always advisable to keep a diary of any symptoms that foods may trigger, so that each stage of the planned food reintroduction can be observed over the following weeks.

It is always recommended to consult qualified and authorized professionals.

In the context of bioenergetic tests performed through functional spectrophotometry, repeating the BioMetaTest® after about three months represents an important moment to assess the evolution of the subject’s bioenergetic state in response to a naturopathic therapeutic intervention.

Observing changes in the spectral configuration or in the bioenergetic parameters makes it possible to classify the follow-up result into three main scenarios: improvement, stability or worsening.

Each scenario has a different clinical and functional meaning and must be interpreted carefully, also considering the symptoms reported, the strategies adopted and the overall response of the organism.

1. Improvement scenario

If, during the second measurement, the test shows an improved configuration, meaning a reduction in the previously detected disharmonies or a rebalancing in the distribution of spectral values linked to specific organs, systems or frequencies, this result may suggest that:

• the therapeutic strategy adopted has had a positive functional impact;
• the subject has responded in an adaptive and favourable way to the proposed therapy, for example phytotherapeutic, dietary, integrative or psycho-emotional;
• there is consistency between the subjective symptom reported, such as a reduction in discomfort, and the objective bioenergetic sign, meaning better harmonisation in the panel.

This result reinforces the validity of the protocol adopted and may indicate the possibility of reducing, modulating or ending the active therapeutic phase, or moving on to a subsequent maintenance or consolidation phase.

2. Stability scenario

When the bioenergetic configuration remains unchanged compared with the previous measurement, there may be several possible interpretations, and a certain degree of discernment is required.

• The subject has not worsened: in some cases, this may already be a positive result, especially in chronic or degenerative conditions. This aspect should be read positively and taken into great consideration.
• The system may have maintained an adaptive rigidity: it has not yet integrated the energetic change, or it may be in a phase of stagnation or compensation.

This rigidity may indicate the need to act on a more resistant system or on a particularly rigid biotype. In this case, possible causes may include:

• the therapy was not sufficiently intense or targeted;
• the subject did not follow the protocol correctly;
• there are interfering factors, environmental, psychological, nutritional or pharmacological, that are blocking the response;
• there may have been an error in the therapy or in the test, remembering that the test, even if in small percentages, may always have a margin of uncertainty on a single element, while this is more difficult on a network of entire factors, as in the panels.

From an energetic perspective, this static condition may reflect resistance to change, an ongoing toxic load or the need to reshape the therapeutic strategy with new tools.

In these cases, it may be useful to investigate more deeply: reviewing the subject’s clinical diary, evaluating possible stressful events, interruptions in treatment, emerging comorbidities, family history and, if necessary, integrating other exploratory analyses.

It may also be appropriate to modify the therapeutic setting or broaden the diagnostic framework, methodology and approach.

3. Worsening scenario

A worsened test configuration after months of treatment indicates an unfavourable evolution from a bioenergetic point of view. This situation may derive from several factors.

• The therapy may not be effective or may not be suitable for the subject’s constitution, resulting in a therapeutic mismatch.
• There may be a real worsening of the internal condition, often confirmed by an exacerbation of symptoms or the appearance of new disorders.
• There may be depletion of energy reserves or dysregulation of the terrain, which could indicate that the body has entered a phase of eliminative crisis or imbalance.
• Paradoxical effects or disreactivity phenomena may occur: in some sensitive subjects, opposite reactions to therapeutic stimuli may appear, such as rebound effects or unsupported toxin mobilisation.

This phenomenon is frequent, for example, in the mineralogram: when trying to eliminate toxins or metals, worsening effects may appear in the first months because the emunctory organs, in order to eliminate toxins and metals, put them back into circulation more extensively.

From a psychosomatic perspective, an unconscious resistance to healing may also emerge, with opposition and worsening symptoms. Exposure to new sources of disharmony, such as environments, relationships or new eating habits, cannot be excluded either.

The interpretation of the evolution of a bioenergetic test in spectrophotometry, when guided by an integrated naturopathic approach, is not limited to a linear reading of the data.

The configuration should be considered as a dynamic representation of the subject’s vital terrain, in constant dialogue with therapeutic strategies and everyday life variables.

Follow-up therefore becomes not only a verification tool, but also a tool for therapeutic reassessment, confirmation or change of direction, helping to build a flexible and personalized care process based on a deeper reading of the individual’s energetic language.

Comparison between stability and worsening

Between the two unfavourable scenarios, stability and worsening, Daphne Lab considers stability, understood as stagnation or rigidity, to be a more complex factor than actual worsening.

In worsening, the biotype still reacts in some way and shows a response: this may make it possible to change the therapeutic strategy. In stability, however, it may be more difficult to develop new strategies to move the biotypological terrain.

In any case, it should not be expected that all panels will always move consistently towards improvement. Some levels may improve, while others may worsen: this is quite normal.

It is therefore advisable to focus on the overall improvement and, if necessary, on the strategies to be modified, but always with care, over the long term and without rushing the subject’s biotypical system.
