How to read a point's uses: check 'when not to give' first
Every Neurotherapy (LMNT) point has a list of uses and a list of times it must not be given. Three habits make that information safe to use: read the bar first, treat the bracket number as a different treatment, and obey any named substitute.
Overview
Points in Neurotherapy (LMNT) come in two kinds. Chemical points are named for a gland or substance, such as Pan for the pancreas or Adr for the adrenal gland. Physical points are named for a place, a movement or a person, and work on bones, muscles and joints.
First habit: the number in brackets is a selector, not a dose. (2) Adr, (4) Adr and (6) Adr are three different treatments with three different aims and three different bars. A bar on one does not travel to the others.
Second habit: read 'when it must not be used' before 'what it is used for'. The list of uses is long and will fit almost anyone. The bar asks the only question that can protect a patient: is there a reason this person must not have it?
Third habit: when a bar names a substitute, use the substitute. In heart patients (2) Thrd is given instead of (4) Thrd. A child being treated for height may have (4) Pan or (10) Pan, but not (2) Pan.
Bars come from three sources: reasoning from what a point does (it raises sugar, so not in diabetes), careful observation of what went wrong, and protecting a child's growth. All three are followed exactly.
Key points
- A bracket number picks a different treatment; it is not a stronger dose.
- Always read when a point must not be given before reading its uses.
- A bar that names a substitute is followed with that substitute.
- When a bar and a use both apply, the bar wins.

- Nothing is given for a complaint that has not been examined today; uses are matched to findings, not to the name on a referral slip.
- Warning signs that need a doctor end the session, whatever the treatment card says. Report findings that stop a session, and how to record a report on the card
- (2) Pan and Lt. Ov./Rt. Ov. are never given to a child being treated for low height. Low height in children (short stature)
