The central teaching of this article
The bracket is a selector, not a dial — nine treatments, not nine doses
Now the thing this article exists for, and the thing students get wrong more often than anything else in .
Nine treatments, not one treatment at nine strengths
The graded Medulla series is not one treatment given harder or softer. It is nine different treatments given at one site.
(15) and (10) are different treatments at one site. (15) is the acetyl choline treatment; (10) is the vagus treatment. One prepares the nervous system to be stimulated at all; the other provokes the digestive glands and triples the stomach's acid. They are not five applications apart in strength. They are two different errands.
(30) and (15) are different treatments from (10). (30) stops inflammation through the prostaglandins. (15) supplies acetyl choline. Neither of them raises stomach acid, and neither of them is doing (10)'s work at a different volume.
(10)'s bars do not travel to the others. The prohibitions written against (10) Medulla — not in diabetes, not in cancer, not where the stomach acid is already raised; in heart patients, (10) Left Medulla only — are written against (10). They are inherited by every formula that contains (10) Medulla, and by no formula that does not.
Say the whole thing as one sentence and keep it: the number in the bracket is a selector, not a dial.
Why does this catch people? Because every other number in the therapy behaves the other way round. (8) Pan really is more of the same thing than (3) Pan. (6) Adr really is more than (4) Adr. A student spends the whole of learning that a bracket is a dose, arrives at the Medulla family, and applies the habit — and the habit is wrong here, and only here, and dangerously.
An analogy that sticks. Think of a lift in a hospital. The button numbered 3 is not "more lift" than the button numbered 2. It takes you to the third floor, which is Obstetrics, while 2 is Radiology. Pressing 4 because you are in a hurry does not get you to Radiology faster; it gets you to a different department, where nobody is expecting you. The Medulla site is the lift. The bracket is the button.
Read the last two rows across. Every column has a different answer. That is the whole lesson, in a shape you can photograph with your eye. (Figure 31.3)
How to read a Medulla code on sight
Four questions, and a boundary at twelve
There is a system in the numbering, and once you see it the whole family stops being a list to memorise.
What a Medulla number means, and where its meaning changes
From (1) to (12), the number indexes a cranial nerve.
After trying these treatments on many patients it became certain that they do the same work as the cranial nerve of that number does. (2) for the second — the eyes. (10) for the tenth — the vagus. (11) for the eleventh — the shoulder. The number is an address.
Above (12), the number no longer indexes a nerve, because there are only twelve. (15), (20) and (30) stimulate chemicals instead: acetyl choline, dopamine, prostaglandins. The number there is simply the count that was found to produce that effect. It is a dose.
The therapy does not blur the two, and neither should the student. A card reading (9) Medulla is asking for the work of the ninth cranial nerve. A card reading (20) Medulla is asking for dopamine. Both are read from the bracket; they are read in two different ways; and the boundary is at twelve.
That is the naming system, and it explains the two oddities a student notices on day one. (Figure 31.4)
Why the family skips. The nine members here are (2), (4), (6), (8), (10), (12), (15), (20), (30). Nothing at (1), (3), (5), (7), (9), (11). The gaps are not gaps: those counts exist, and each of them does the work of the cranial nerve of that number. They simply belong to the cranial-nerve index, which is a different teaching with a different structure, and they are set out whole in Cranial Nerve and Brain Formulas, "The Twelve Messengers". This article takes the nine that grew up as general treatments in their own right.
Why the steps get bigger at the top. From (2) to (12) the members step by twos, because that is where the nerves are and nerves are numbered by ones. Above twelve there is no counting to obey, so the steps are 15, 20, 30 — the three counts found to do those three pieces of work, with nothing between them named.
(6) Medulla — the hypothalamus treatment
The first one found — and the one withheld from a child who came about height
This is the very first Medulla treatment that was obtained, and everything else in the family descends from it.
Table 5 — Card: (6) Medulla Seated 6 sec Both sides
| Written | (6) Medulla |
|---|---|
| Applications | 6, both sides of the neck below the ears, one side at a time |
| Site, technique, position | The standing card — Table 2 Seated |
| What was found on giving it | 1. If the body temperature is below normal, it can be raised. 2. Those who feel no hunger or thirst begin to feel hunger or thirst immediately after the treatment. 3. Patients who had brain trouble on account of meningitis truly did benefit. 4. Patients of epilepsy — mirgī — and of paralysis also benefit |
| The inference drawn | That the hypothalamus can be stimulated by this treatment — after which it was applied wherever the hypothalamus has a function, and considerable success was obtained in it |
| The reasoning about the brain's water | The hypothalamus forms the wall of the brain's 3rd ventricle. In meningitis there is a blockage in the 3rd ventricle, on account of which the CSF — the fluid inside the brain — cannot pass into the 4th ventricle. So this treatment is thought to be able to open the passage called the cerebral aqueduct, which lies between the 3rd and the 4th ventricles |
| Its use on the glands | For the hypothalamus to make releasing hormones such as TSH.RH and FSH.RH for the anterior pituitary, from which TSH, FSH and so on will be released. By (6) Medulla we can give orders to the anterior pituitary — which is what we use for setting right the diseases of the endocrine glands |
| Its use on pain | It stops the messages coming from the sensory nerves, so that the sensation of pain is not allowed to occur. The chemicals called endorphins also do this work |
| What the index adds | To increase hunger, thirst and body temperature, and to reduce the pains of the body. Through the anterior pituitary we can stimulate the thyroid gland, the ovaries or testes, prolactin, growth hormone and the adrenal cortex. It perhaps controls the muscles of the eyes by means of the 6th cranial nerve, and can also correct some kinds of double vision |
| When it must not be given | Not to boys and girls between 13 and 20 years of age who come for treatment to increase height — unless there is a special need for it ▲ Take care |
| Point taught in | Seated I — Brain, Medulla, Neck, "Seated — I" |
Four of the uses below are not yet settled, and the therapy says so plainly. They are printed here exactly as they stand, because a student who is shown only the finished parts of a teaching learns to distrust the whole of it on the day he finds an unfinished part for himself.
(6) Medulla — the further uses, which are to be tried on suitable patients
To stimulate the part of the hypothalamus called the mamillary bodies. The function of the mamillary bodies is the overall control of GIT activity — that is, of the workings of the stomach and the intestines — including at least some of the processes at the time of eating food, such as stimulating the licking of the lips with the tongue while eating, and the process of swallowing. (These nuclei are also described as a chief relay station for impulses relating to smell — they are needed in order that a smell be felt from the nose up to the brain.)
In the brain's medulla oblongata there is a place from which the nerves of one side of the brain cross over to the other side of the body. If there is any blockage in it, that ought to be set right by this treatment. This is called the crossing point of the pyramids.
In the hypothalamus there is a part called the optic chiasma, in which the fibres of the inner side of the retina cross from one side of the brain to the other.
Besides these, it appears that by this treatment we can also stimulate the 6th cranial nerve, by which we can set right disturbances arising from the eye muscles called the inferior oblique and the lateral rectus. Perhaps this may be useful in correcting some kinds of squint ??? Patients of this kind have not come to us in large numbers. This fact is to be tested on patients later on.
And then the passage that ought to be read aloud in every classroom, because of what it costs the man who wrote it.
One last thing about that card is worth a sentence, because it is the kind of detail that tells you how carefully a list was made. Temperature, hunger and thirst are not a random three. Deep in the middle of the brain sits a region no larger than an almond which is the body's thermostat, its appetite switch and its thirst meter all at once — three small clusters of cells, a few millimetres apart, doing those three jobs. It is why a fever takes your appetite with it. Anyone naming the hypothalamus at all would have to name those three, more or less in that order — and this list does.
(8) Medulla — the serotonin treatment
Deep sleep within a short while — and three refusals with their reasons
On giving (8) Medulla the person begins to fall into deep sleep within a short while. From that one observation the whole of the rest follows: the treatment is held to stimulate serotonin, the chemical necessary for bringing sleep.
Table 6 — Card: (8) Medulla Seated 6 sec Both sides ▲ Take care
| Written | (8) Medulla |
|---|---|
| Applications | 8, both sides of the neck below the ears |
| Site, technique, position | The standing card — Table 2 Seated |
| What is observed | The person falls into deep sleep within a short while |
| What it is held to act on | Serotonin — made in several places, chief among them the hypothalamus, some parts of the CNS, and the enteric neurons of the intestine |
| What serotonin governs | Mental depression — from a shortage of serotonin a person may have sadness, or sleeplessness, and so on |
| The raphe | Serotonin is made not in the medulla of the brain stem but in the part called the median raphe. So by (8) Medulla we can stimulate the brain's raphe, and whatever disease arises from a disturbance of the raphe can be set right by this treatment |
| On the vessels | If we need to increase vascular permeability — the traffic of things inside the blood vessels — then (8) Medulla is to be given |
| On smooth muscle | It helps in the contraction of smooth muscles and increases the secretions of the intestine. Wherever we need to increase the work of smooth muscles, (8) Medulla is to be used |
| Given with | (20) Medulla, for height — dopamine and serotonin both increase the secretion rate of growth hormone |
| What the index adds | For all problems of the ear; and for serotonin, necessary for bringing sleep and for correcting extreme sadness. By it we can correct every disease of the raphe region between the medulla and the pons |
| When it must not be given | Not in the diseases of inflammation. Not in cancer. Not in high BP ▲ Take care |
| Point taught in | Seated I — Brain, Medulla, Neck, "Seated — I" |
Four things about serotonin decide how this treatment is used, and two of them decide when it is refused.
What controls its release. Several factors, chief among them stress; not sleeping at the right time; the quantity of glucose in the blood; and exercise. If there is a disturbance in even one of these, serotonin will not be released in the proper amount. Will (8) Medulla give benefit in the treatment of diabetes? This is to be tried.
What growing children need. For growing children, both dopamine and serotonin are necessary. That is the sentence sitting behind the height instruction under (20) Medulla.
What it does at a wound. When haemorrhage occurs, serotonin is released from the platelets, which constricts the blood vessels at that place, so the flow of blood there is reduced. In this way serotonin helps the work of the platelets and helps in healing. So will (8) Medulla give benefit in Injury treatment? This is to be tried. The Injury formula itself, with its substitutions, is Fire and Swelling, "Fire and Swelling".
And what it does to inflammation. In inflammation serotonin acts like histamine, and increases inflammation.
(Haemorrhage is an abnormally large flow of blood inside or outside the body. Blood passing out of the body is external haemorrhage; occurring inside the body it is internal haemorrhage, and when that blood collects inside the body it is a haematoma. Smooth muscles are those controlling involuntary actions, found especially in the stomach, the intestines, the lungs, the urinary bladder, the uterus, and inside all blood vessels and the ducts of the glands.)
Three further notes travel with this member and belong to it.
Where else serotonin is found. Besides the places above, in the hypothalamus, in extra neural tissues and in the gastro-intestinal tract. It inhibits the production of pancreatic juice. Perhaps this is why some people complain of indigestion after sleeping immediately after food?
The banana. Serotonin is found in bananas. This is precisely why Guruji tells people to eat the inner white layer of the banana peel, so that there is no shortage of serotonin in our body.
And one question left open. Whether serotonin is made in the pineal gland is not settled in the physiology this therapy works from — there is no mention of it there. This is to be looked into. The question is left standing here exactly as it stands there.
(10) Medulla — the vagus treatment
The acid of the stomach three times over, and the bar every formula inherits
You have been using this one since Setting the Stomach. Here is the whole of it.
Table 7 — Card: (10) Medulla Seated 6 sec Both sides ▲ Take care
| Written | (10) Medulla · in heart patients, (10) Left Medulla Left |
|---|---|
| Applications | 10, both sides of the neck below the ears |
| Site, technique, position | The standing card — Table 2 Seated |
| What it is given to do | To stimulate the vagus nerve — the tenth cranial nerve — which stimulates all the glands of the abdomen |
| Its chief effect | The acid of the stomach will increase three times |
| The claim it settles | People say that undigested food comes in the stools because of insufficient chewing. This is not so. It happens because the acid of the stomach is low — which we can improve with (10) Medulla |
| Its one written exception | (10) Medulla has no effect on the descending colon. On the descending colon it is the S,4,5 treatment that has an effect — keep this in mind |
| What the index adds | By means of the vagus nerve it stimulates every part of the digestive system except the descending colon. It contracts the lungs. It reduces the fast rate of the heart |
| When it must not be given | We do not give this to those whose stomach acid is raised. It should not be given to cancer patients. And the standing bar: not to patients of diabetes and of cancer ▲ Take care |
| The substitution | To patients of heart disease, give only (10) Left Medulla Left ▲ Take care |
| Where you have met it | The FAN prefix, Chole, Vater, CCK Normal, Formula No. 4 — Setting the Stomach; the UDF formulas, where it is compulsory alongside Gas Only — Clearing the Ash |
| Point taught in | Seated I — Brain, Medulla, Neck, "Seated — I" |
Three things in that card do real work, and each of them has a article behind it.
The exception about the descending colon is not a footnote. It is the reason the CCK Normal formula ends where it ends, and the reason the therapy reaches for (2) S4, S5 whenever the target is the last stretch of the large bowel. The vagus reaches the gut a long way and then stops; below that stopping place the supply comes from the sacral nerves, and the sacral nerves are reached at S4, S5.
The compulsory pairing. In the UDF formulas, (10) Medulla and Gas Only together are what the formula is. Gas Only raises the blood supply in the stomach; (10) Medulla provokes the whole digestive system through the vagus; and the two together further increase the stomach's acid, from which pepsin's work will be good and the digestion of proteins will be done well.
And the bar is inherited, not re-argued. Every formula that contains (10) Medulla carries (10) Medulla's prohibitions with it, whether or not they are reprinted on that formula's card.
(12) Medulla — the hippocampus treatment, and the worms
Two unconnected effects, reported without being joined
Two quite different kinds of effect have been seen from this one treatment, and the therapy reports both without attempting to join them together.
Table 8 — Card: (12) Medulla Seated 6 sec Both sides
| Written | (12) Medulla |
|---|---|
| Applications | 12, both sides of the neck below the ears |
| Site, technique, position | The standing card — Table 2 Seated |
| First effect — fits | In patients who get fits at night, or while lying asleep, the fits become very much fewer, or stop altogether. In the brain there is a part called the hippocampus, which plays an important role in controlling fits — so the inference is that by this treatment an improvement can be brought about in the working of the hippocampus |
| Second effect — worms | In children in whose stools small worms of ¼ʺ to ½ʺ are seen: give this treatment before sleeping, and on the very next morning a great many worms have been seen coming out in the stool |
| How long, for the worms | Give it in this way for three days, and all the worms come out |
| What the index adds | It provokes the hippocampus. To correct fits that come during sleep, or immediately after rising from sleep. It immediately kills worms or germs in the stomach or the intestines |
| Timing that is part of the instruction | For the worms, before sleeping — not at any convenient hour. The instruction names a time of day, and the result reported depends on it |
| Point taught in | Seated I — Brain, Medulla, Neck, "Seated — I" |
How the second of those two uses became known is not explained, and the therapy does not pretend to explain it; it is set down as one more instance of the grace under which the whole family was found.
The detail worth noticing is the timing. The treatment for the worms is not twelve Medulla for a child with worms. It is twelve Medulla, before sleeping, for three days. Strip the timing out and you have removed the instruction, not simplified it — which is Rule 4 of this wiki working on a single line: the context carries the meaning.
(15) Medulla — the acetyl choline treatment
Not the strongest member but the first — given before the others
This one was not reasoned out. It was stumbled on, in an emergency, and reasoned backwards afterwards.
Some patient had difficulty in breathing — { from food poisoning, or from some other cause ??? }. (15) Medulla was given, and that patient obtained relief at once. Only then did the reading follow: that in the medulla there is a respiratory centre, necessary for breathing, and that it works when acetyl choline is released from the brain. From which the inference: (15) Medulla must make or stimulate acetyl choline.
After that inference, wherever acetyl choline was needed (15) Medulla was given — and wonderful results began to come.
Table 9 — Card: (15) Medulla Seated 6 sec Both sides ▲ Take care
| Written | (15) Medulla · in some formulas with a side prefix, (15) Left Medulla — How a Formula Is Built, Table 13 Left |
|---|---|
| Applications | 15, both sides of the neck below the ears |
| Site, technique, position | The standing card — Table 2 Seated |
| What it is held to do | To make or stimulate acetyl choline |
| Breathing | If there were no acetyl choline in the medulla oblongata, the lungs would not work. Especially very good for those who say that their breathing stops and starts while sleeping at night |
| Food poisoning | If the vessels are not properly cleaned after eating, the bacteria called Botulinum can breed. On eating such contaminated food these bacteria stop the respiratory centre from working, and the patient can die from being unable to breathe. Such patients have been seen to obtain great benefit from (15) Medulla |
| Its place in a sequence | Give (15) Medulla before stimulating the para-sympathetic nervous system, the nervous system of the intestines, the smooth muscles and the functions of the cranial nerves — this brings still better results. Its contribution is chiefly important for the functions of the digestive system |
| Voluntary muscle | Necessary for the working of the voluntary muscles. In MND and GBS, great benefit has been obtained from (15) Medulla × 6 treatments × 3 |
| Myasthenia gravis | Arises from a deficiency of acetylcholine receptors; one symptom is the drooping of the eyelids by themselves. Such patients have been seen to obtain great benefit — which proves that it truly stimulates acetyl choline, or increases its production |
| MND and MS | On giving it, for some while so much strength increases in their muscles that those who see it are astonished at how the wonder occurred |
| On sweat | It stimulates the sweat glands — so it is beneficial for those who do not sweat at all. Perhaps there will be benefit from it for pimples too. This is to be tried |
| On saliva | When acetyl choline is released from the sympathetic nervous system, more saliva is released, and from the intestines a chemical called vaso active intestinal peptide, on account of which the blood vessels of the salivary glands dilate. Those whose mouths go dry will benefit. In the UDF formula we give (15) Medulla; one further benefit of that is that the saliva will be released properly |
| On prostaglandins | Acetyl choline and epinephrine both stimulate prostaglandins |
| On the fuel of the body | By the effect of acetyl choline, proteins, fats and carbohydrates are converted into a chemical called acetyl-coenzyme A, which is the precursor for making fatty acids and sterols |
| What the index adds | Acetylcholine — to stimulate the muscles, and in respiratory diseases, especially those who feel at night as if the breath stops for some time |
| The standing rule it carries | Before doing the treatment of any cranial nerve whatever, (15) Medulla × 1 treatment gives greater benefit |
| When it must not be given | Not to a patient in whom (2) Pan is to be given in order to set right a tumour ▲ Take care |
| Where you have met it | The head of the UDF formulas — Clearing the Ash; erythropoietin formula I, in this article |
| Point taught in | Seated I — Brain, Medulla, Neck, "Seated — I" |
Two further pieces belong to this member, and the second of them sends you to another formula entirely.
The fat and the bile. This is the newest of the findings attached to (15) Medulla. Acetyl choline is made from an amine called choline, which is found in lecithin, a chief constituent of bile. If bile is not made properly, fats will not be digested properly. Therefore in those who have difficulty digesting fats — perhaps acetyl choline is not being made properly in their bodies. Such a thing too is possible! That is: those in whose body acetyl choline is not being made properly will be fully cured only by improving the digestion of their fats as well — a matter to attend to while treating patients of MD, DMD or MS.
And if choline is to be made, then we must give the New Gal treatment. That is an instruction with a formula on the end of it, and the formula is not in this article.
There are some other functions of acetyl choline for which (15) Medulla is to be given and tested on suitable patients. The therapy says so in those words and leaves the list open. It is left open here too.
(20) Medulla — the dopamine treatment
Parkinson's, prolactin, fits — and the one claim a blood test can check
Table 10 — Card: (20) Medulla Seated 6 sec Both sides
| Written | (20) Medulla |
|---|---|
| Applications | 20, both sides of the neck below the ears |
| Site, technique, position | The standing card — Table 2 Seated |
| Parkinson's disease | After giving this treatment, patients of Parkinson's obtained tremendous benefit — from which it was inferred that it stimulates the part of the brain called the substantia nigra, where dopamine is made |
| What dopamine is | Largely an inhibitory chemical, which acts in the basal ganglia. Its function is to stop the unwanted movements of the limbs. It is also made in other places and sent to the hypothalamus and the limbic system — and in those other places dopamine perhaps performs a stimulating function |
| Prolactin | A second function of dopamine is to inhibit prolactin. By that same inference, when (20) Medulla was given to those women in whose bodies the quantity of prolactin was raised, their prolactin levels were seen to fall |
| Breast size | Many women whose breasts are larger in size than normal have been seen to reduce by this same treatment. Perhaps the reason is that from a rise in prolactin the breasts increase in size |
| Fits | Since dopamine stops the movement of the limbs, (20) Medulla is therefore given in the treatment of fits as well, from which many patients have been seen to obtain benefit |
| Height | Dopamine and serotonin both increase the secretion rate of growth hormone — that is, for increasing height, both (20) Medulla and (8) Medulla should be given |
| What the index adds | Dopamine — Parkinson's; pneumonia in children; or women in whom the quantity of prolactin has increased |
| Its relative in another family | (12) Gas 'I' works like (20) Medulla — see the section at the end of this article |
| Point taught in | Seated I — Brain, Medulla, Neck, "Seated — I" |
Three notes before this card is left.
Read the height line against the (6) Medulla caution once more. (20) and (8) given to a child for height; (6) withheld from a child for height, between the ages of 13 and 20. Three counts at one site, two pushing one way and one held back for fear of pushing the other. The therapy states both without apology, and so does this wiki.
Pneumonia in children appears only in the index, not in the running account. It is carried here whole, because an indication that appears once is still an indication, and a student who meets it on a card three years from now should have met it here first.
And notice the shape of the prolactin claim. It is the only place in this family where the therapy reports a blood test moving — their prolactin levels were seen to fall — rather than a symptom easing. That makes it, of everything in this article, the claim most easily checked, and therefore the one most worth recording carefully.
(30) Medulla — the prostaglandin treatment
The longest count, the widest list — and a refusal reasoned from not knowing
The longest count in the family, and the one with the widest list of uses. About how the inspiration for it came, the therapy says only that it is difficult to say anything other than divine grace.

| Its chief effect | It immediately reduces the swelling of inflammation |
| Polio, and the hot knee | Immediate relief to patients of polio, and where along with knee pain there is also heat and redness |
| The Mu point | Pain at the Mu point on the left side of the navel is understood as inflammation in the intestines; such people may also pass mucus (āv) in the stool. From this treatment, immediate benefit is obtained in both the pain and the mucus |
| Side effects of medicines | A very large hand in ending them. Where a patient says that since an operation or an injection some years ago a swelling or a pain arose that was not there before, even a pain years old is finished in one or two treatments |
| Bites and stings | If there is itching from the poison of a scorpion or snake bite, or on account of any herb, it also finishes that |
| PMS | Heaviness in the breasts before the monthly period. After 1 or 2 treatments this pain or heaviness ends so completely that it is beyond belief |
| Autoimmune disorders | In rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis, great benefit is obtained. In such disorders prostaglandins stimulate the T-suppressor cells, from which benefit occurs in diseases like MS |
| Asthma | From prostaglandins the bronchioles relax. In asthma the patient obtains immediate relief — an experience proved on many patients |

From the several signs above, it seemed that this treatment stimulates certain kinds of chemicals called prostaglandins, or improves their functioning. And so the physiology of the prostaglandins becomes, for this member alone, the therapy's own index of further uses.
In the bodies of animals there are 14 kinds of prostaglandins, whereas in the human body there are 13 kinds, which have different names. They are made in several places in the body, and they work near the very place where they are made.
What the prostaglandins are, as this therapy holds them
Prostaglandins A and E — these lower the BP. Prostaglandin F — raises the BP.
Prostaglandin E₂ and Interleukin #1, both meeting together, bring on fever. (Interleukin #1 is a chemical which stimulates the working of neutrophils, macrophages and lymphocytes.)
Prostaglandins cause the blood vessels of the kidneys to dilate, and expel salt and water through the kidneys, from which high BP will fall.
Prostaglandins E₁ and I₁ can perhaps prevent the GFR — the glomerular filtration rate, that is the speed of filtration inside the kidneys — and the flow of blood inside the kidneys from falling.
That last line is the reason a treatment named for inflammation sits in a family that also claims to activate the kidney.
And then the refusal, which is the most quietly impressive sentence in the article.
The further uses, according to what the prostaglandins do
These are set down as the uses that may follow from the physiology. Some are reported as done; some are reported as reasoned; and where the therapy marks one as untried, the mark stays.
On the small vessels, and purpura. Prostaglandins suddenly strengthen the inner wall of all the small vessels — the capillaries — of the body. Excellent use was made of this in the treatment of purpura. In this disease, in places under the skin, by themselves or on even the lightest pressure, capillaries burst anywhere, from which haemorrhage occurs — blood comes out of the vessels and collects in the surrounding tissues. The inference was that this could be set right by prostaglandin treatment, because prostaglandins can make the inner wall of the blood vessels strong. When (30) Medulla was given to the patient, he immediately had the benefit that on pressing, that place did not go blue, as it used to before —
— from which it was proved that (30) Medulla stimulates the prostaglandins in the body in some incomparable way.
Table 12 — The further uses of (30) Medulla, from the functions of the prostaglandins
| What the prostaglandins do | What follows for (30) Medulla |
|---|---|
| They have a considerable effect on the nervous system | Perhaps this is why in nervous-system diseases such as MND and GBS patients obtain great relief from it |
| They act on the pupil | If the pupil of the eye is dilated, it can become small |
| They inhibit the production of cholesterol | Those whose blood cholesterol is raised will benefit |
| They prevent the aggregation of platelets and the process of unwanted clot formation in the blood | It is for this very reason that this treatment gives benefit in MS, multiple sclerosis |
| If there is any disturbance inside the RBCs producing a defect in them, the prostaglandins correct them and make them normal | In this way it is of use in diseases of RBC disturbance |
| They protect from gastric ulcer — from wounds or blisters in the stomach | The index likewise names ulcer in the stomach among its uses |
| At the time of intercourse, the seminal vesicles of men — the sac in which semen is stored — and the vagina of women make prostaglandins in greater quantity | Great benefit in conception — the instruction is given whole in the panel below |
| At the time of birth the membranes of the fetus make prostaglandins in large quantity, which by increasing the capacity of the uterus to contract help the child to be born by normal delivery | We have found that a few hours after giving (30) Medulla, the spasms of labour pain come and the child is born by normal delivery. Beneficial also for those women in whom, after doing an ultrasound, it was found that the child's head in the uterus is not in the right direction. (Dystocia = difficult labour) |
| When the child comes out, from the place where the placenta separates some prostaglandins are released which are vaso-constrictors — perhaps so that too much blood should not leave the body | (and see the line that opens the next page) |
The infertility instruction, given whole
Those who come to us for the treatment of infertility should be given the other treatments in the clinic; along with that, teach the treatment of (30) Medulla to both, and tell the husband and wife to give it to each other, so that benefit may come quickly.
Three parts, and all three are the instruction. The clinic treatments are not replaced — they continue. Both partners are taught, not one. And the timing is part of it: the husband before, the wife immediately after.
This is also, in the whole formulary, the clearest instance of the therapy handing its own work to the household. A treatment of the nape, requiring no instrument, no medicine and no undressing, taught to two people who will give it to one another at home, for a purpose neither of them wants to discuss with a stranger. That is the design of this therapy showing itself.
And one more use, left open where it stands: so perhaps benefit may also come from giving (30) Medulla after delivery as well — this is to be tried on a suitable patient.
