Biosemiotic Medicine: A New Healing Paradigm – Restoring Coherence, Meaning, and Flow in Living Systems introduces a transformative approach to health and healing rooted in the view that life is inherently semiotic — that all living systems generate, interpret, and respond to signs. Rather than treating symptoms as malfunctions to suppress, Biosemiotic Medicine understands them as meaningful expressions of the body’s attempt to adapt, communicate, and restore coherence under constraint.
Drawing from biosemiotics, systems biology, somatic healing, trauma science, and traditional medical wisdoms, this manifesto and white paper outlines a rigorous, integrative model of care grounded in the body’s innate intelligence. It identifies core semiotic tissues — such as fascia, endothelium, mitochondria, and the interstitium — as interpretive participants in signaling loops across physiology, emotion, and environment. Symptoms are reframed as sign-events within these loops, offering insight into blocked flow, misalignment, or unmet needs.
Through clinical case studies, practical diagnostic frameworks, and a vision for future medical education, this work proposes a medicine of interpretation, not suppression — of reconnection, not control. Biosemiotic Medicine calls for a healing system that listens to the intelligence of life and engages meaning as a central dimension of health. It offers a bridge between science and soul, body and story, ushering in a new coherence-centered paradigm for twenty-first century care.
