How a formula gets built, watched from the inside

Four questions asked before a hand was laid on anybody

Before LSTF itself, watch it being made, because this is the clearest view anywhere in the formulary of how a sequence comes into existence.

One chief reason for the success of this therapy is that Guruji goes to the depth of how every function in the body takes place. Where some organ is not working properly, he studies every aspect of it intensively — and then he stimulates the organs in that very order which sets right the body's own way of working. It is precisely because of this that patients get benefit immediately.

In that same series comes this treatment for severe constipation, made keeping every aspect of the problem in mind. This formula is suitable for everybody. Follow the line of thinking in four steps.

Table 3 — Card: LSTF, the Left Side Treatment Formula Supine Prone 6 sec Left Right ▲ Take care

Notice the collision in that last row and do not smooth it over. LSTF is given for bamboo spine; and Thrd is not given in bamboo spine, because that disease has come from increased calcium. Both sentences are printed, both are correct where they stand, and neither cancels the other. What the therapist does with such a pair is what a therapist is for: read the whole patient, and if the two instructions meet in one body, the bar written against the point is the one that decides that point. Nothing in this wiki asks you to give a point to a patient it is written against.

Why the spleen and the ovary, when the trouble is in the bowel?

A point's name is a postal address, not a description of the parcel

A natural question arises. To cure constipation, why are Spl — the spleen — and Lt. Ov. — the left ovary — being stimulated? Constipation has come about because the movement of food in the alimentary canal is very slow, and both of these are outside the alimentary canal.

Here is the thing to attend to. By our points we increase the blood circulation in the various parts of the abdomen all around the navel. Each point's name has been given by keeping in mind the chief organ in that region. But when we give that point, it will increase blood flow not only in that organ, but in all the organs that are in that region.

In the region above and to the left of the navel the chief organ is the spleen — but the left terminal part of the transverse colon and the upper part of the descending colon are there too, and when Spl is given, blood flow increases in all three. In the same way Mu removes the pains of the left side of the navel: besides the small intestine, the middle part of the descending colon is there, so it is stimulated as well. And Lt. Ov. takes out the pain of the region below and to the left of the navel, where besides the ovaries or testes there is the terminal part of the descending colon and the sigmoid colon.

Table 4 — Why each point of LSTF is given

The compromise in the tail, stated with its price

Adr before Thrd is right; Thrd before Adr is given — and the cost is named

The two orders set side by side, and what each costs, are in Table 7 of How a Formula Is Built, where this passage is used to teach what a compromise is and why one that is not written down stops being a compromise and becomes a mistake. It is not repeated here. What belongs to LSTF is the practical consequence: when you write Thrd before Adr on a card, write beside it that it was chosen — otherwise the therapist reading that card next year cannot tell whether you weighed the trade or simply copied it. (Figure 35.2)

The Round Normal Formula

Breadth for the everyday case — the whole bowel walked in order, three times

LSTF works the left run, deeply, for a constipation of many years. Round Normal works the whole run, lightly, three times over, for the ordinary kind. (Figure 35.3)

Table 7 — Why each point of Round Normal is given

Read that column straight down and you have walked the whole large bowel from the ileocaecal junction to the sigmoid without missing a segment. The name is well chosen: it is a round — a circuit — of the normal stations, in anatomical order.

Table 8 — LSTF and Round Normal side by side

A composite of many such patients makes the point about how LSTF is chosen. Devidas Karmakar, 67, a retired postmaster of Bardhaman, came with "gas" and a stiffening back and did not mention constipation at all; asked directly, he said motions came every third or fourth day, with force, in hard small pieces, and had done so since his service days. He did not count it as an illness. He counted it as his nature — which is what every patient does with a symptom they have lived with for thirty years, and which is why the question has to be asked rather than waited for.

On the abdomen he was very tender at Const and at Mu°, less at Mu, and almost not at all at Liv°. His spine moved as one piece and his chest barely expanded on a deep breath. His thyroid panel mattered — the thyroid is one of the four legs LSTF stands on and his had never been checked — and his films of the sacroiliac joints mattered, because the way that spine moved raised the question of bamboo spine, which changes what may be given. An ultrasound done four years earlier changed nothing.

He was not given Round Normal. Thirty years is not ordinary constipation; the stool was hard and scanty; Const was the loudest point on the abdomen; and Mu° was tender, which is the acid side and is LSTF's second step of reasoning stated out loud in a single finding. LSTF was given in the taught order, with Thrd before Adr and a note on the card saying that the order had been chosen. The first four days brought a daily motion, which astonished him more than anybody. In the second week the daily motion held while the abdominal tightness came back each evening — and nothing was added, because the fourth step of the reasoning, the inflammation left behind by years of constipation, was already in the formula and was left to do its work. By the fifth week he was bending to his shoes.

Then, in week six, the films came back reported as bamboo spine. LSTF is written for bamboo spine; Thrd is written against it. He was not given the point anyway, and he was not abandoned either: the bar on the point was honoured, the rest of the sequence stood, what had been gained on the bowel was held, and he was told plainly that a report naming that disease is a reason to be under a physician for it and to stay under one.

Three things in that account are worth carrying. Nobody reports a symptom they have decided is their nature — how often, and what does it look like found in one minute what six years of consultations had not asked. The four steps of reasoning are a checklist: blood to the left colon, the water and the acid, the thyroid, and what the years of constipation have themselves caused. And a formula's indication and a point's prohibition can name the same disease; when they meet in one body, the bar on the point decides that point, and it does not decide the formula.

What lactic acid actually does — the story to tell a patient

Why a man stops on a landing: he is fetching oxygen, not resting his legs

First, what the work of lactic acid in the body is. If we are doing daṇḍ-baiṭhak or heavy exercise, then after twenty-five or thirty repetitions one cannot get up — and then, after resting a little while, one can do them again. In the same way, climbing stairs, after seventy-five or eighty steps one suddenly cannot lift a step; but after pausing for a few moments and breathing hard, one can climb further. Why is this?

Now you tell me: if, on giving this treatment, so many patients begin to feel good, then would you not agree that this treatment helps in changing lactic acid back into glycogen in the body?

Table 10 — The chief uses of the Lactic Acid formula

Row two of that table is worth dwelling on, because it is a small masterpiece of this therapy's way of thinking. A patient arrives with two named diseases and a sore knee. Nobody treats the knee for diabetes. But diabetes is an acid disease and shows at Mu°; high blood pressure is an alkali disease and shows at Liv°; a patient with both will be tender at both; and both Liv° and Mu° tender is precisely the finding that selects this formula. The two diseases did not have to be treated. They only had to be read as a pair of pain points.

Two formulas in this therapy raise a blood pressure. They are not alternatives. They are written for two completely different patients, and one of them is forbidden to the other's patient. Everything in this part is aimed at making that distinction automatic. (Figure 35.5)
