Fire and Swelling

Everything in this article was made around 1980, and it came, as the therapy says of it, by Hari's grace. That phrase does a particular job. It marks the treatments whose reasoning can be told step by step — a question, a piece of anatomy half-remembered, a hand laid somewhere new, a patient who said it felt good — and whose result still exceeds what the reasoning would have predicted. Three of the four families in this article are described that way by the man who found them.

The notation is closed. Every bracket, glyph, side prefix, asterisk, × sign and treatments suffix used here was taught once and completely in Table 13 of How a Formula Is Built, "How a Formula Is Built". It is not explained again. Every written rest — the ninety seconds between the repeats of (6) Adr, the one minute between rounds, the five minutes between two whole formulas — is in Table 8 of that same article, with the reason given for each. If a line will not read, go back to those two tables.

What this therapy means by fire, and what it means by swelling

Infection arrives; inflammation is that defence gone too far

Three words are used through this article as though they were near neighbours, and they are not. Fix them before anything else, because every formula in the article depends on telling them apart.

That last sentence is not a rhetorical flourish. It is the oldest safety rule in this wiki, and it was stated in the very first article: infectious disorders and inflammatory ones are treated in opposite ways. Thymus, at the breastbone, raises immunity and benefits infections. Adr, at the back between the sixth and the twelfth thoracic beads, reduces inflammation. The two are not interchangeable: give either in the other's condition and the situation is aggravated.

You are about to meet a formula built on exactly that opposition. The Injury formula contains Thymus + Chest — and when the patient has an autoimmune disorder, the thymus component is taken out and something else put in its place. That substitution is not a courtesy. It is this rule, written into a formula. (Figure 32.1)

The adrenal cortex, T6, and the finding of (6) Adr

A question, a nerve supply half-remembered, and a hand laid on the back

The question that began it was the plainest question in this wiki. If some insect or creature bites, that place becomes red and swelling appears. So how should we treat this?

The answer came in two steps, and both are worth walking through slowly, because this is the clearest surviving example of how a treatment in this therapy actually gets made.

Step one — find out who is in charge of stopping it. The inflammatory response is the body's own work, so somebody inside the body must be responsible for calling it off. On practising, it was learnt that the chief responsibility of controlling — of stopping — inflammation belongs to the hormone cortisol, made by the cortex of the adrenal gland. If inflammation is a fire brigade that will not go home, cortisol is the officer who whistles them back to the station.

Step two — find a way to reach it with a hand. And here the difficulty was obvious at once. But the adrenal gland is at the back of the body, above the kidneys! How to provoke it? It is not a gland you can put a palm on. It sits deep, behind everything.

So the search moved from the gland to its wiring. On practising it was learnt that the nerve supply of the adrenal cortex is received from below T6? — and the therapy prints that question mark itself, because the statement was arrived at by reading and by inference rather than by dissection, and it has never been tidied since. On the strength of it, Guruji laid the patient face down and thought: let us see by rubbing — ghisāī — at that place on the back?

He did it a few times. The patient suddenly said he was feeling very good. The same treatment was given twice more at intervals, and almost all the swelling had come down.

Three things on that card catch students out, and all three are arithmetic.

The doubling is at the place, not at the places. Two equal one means you rub the written number outward at a place, and then do it again at that same place, and that pair is one of what the card asked for. It does not mean six places.

The ceiling is on a single stay, not on a session. (6) Adr asks for six rubs at a place and then six more, which is one (6) Adr. The ceiling — six at one place at one time — has not been broken, because the second six is the second time. If a card ever asks for more than the ceiling allows in one stay, you go back to the first of the three places and come down again. A large number becomes more passes down the back, never a longer stay in one spot.

And (2), (4) and (6) Adr are three treatments, not three strengths. (2) Adr raises sodium through aldosterone and is withheld in high blood pressure. (4) Adr raises blood sugar through glucagon and is withheld in diabetes. (6) Adr is the inflammation treatment, and carries its own two prohibitions. Nothing in this article permits substituting one for another.

'-itis', polio, and the ill effects of medicines

The word-ending that names a family, and where the medicines use began

There is a rule of words here that turns into a rule of treatment, and it is the single most useful sentence in the article for a therapist reading a hospital letter.

Appendic-itis. Conjunctiv-itis. Myel-itis. Bronch-itis. Arthr-itis. Each is the name of a part, with the ending that means on fire. And each, on that reading, is a candidate for the treatment that stops fire.

The rule reads backwards as well, and that is its real value at the mat. A patient hands you a letter with a long word on it that you have never seen. Look at its last four letters. If they are -itis, you already know what the doctors think is happening inside that part, and you know which family of formula the finding belongs to.

Polio, and why it belongs in this article

At the time these treatments were being made, many patients of polio myelitis used to come to Guruji. And the name told him what to do with them.

Myelitis — this is itself a disease of inflammation. The word says so: myel, the cord; -itis, on fire. So such a patient was given (6) Adr × 3 treatments — and immediately said he felt somewhat better. It was proved on many polio patients that after the treatment they feel very good.

That is the whole reasoning, and it is complete as it stands. Polio is treated with (6) Adr because polio is an inflammatory disease, and (6) Adr is what this therapy has for inflammation. Nothing else about polio is being claimed at that moment — not that the paralysis is being reversed, not that the virus is being addressed. An inflamed cord is being treated as an inflamed cord.

And the caution that governs (6) Adr governs it here too, with nothing subtracted. It reduces immunity, and is therefore withheld where immunity is already low. A polio patient whose immunity is sound receives it. A patient of any diagnosis whose immunity is down does not. The indication and the prohibition sit in the same treatment and neither cancels the other — which is the ordinary shape of a clinical instruction, and the reason this wiki never gives you half of one.

Two more points belong to polio and both are given here whole, because a student who meets them later on a card should meet them first in their context. Blood Supply to Legs is given for the leg weakness — a different point, doing a different job, in the same patient. And the Thymus and Chest group carries a separate caution of its own, which you will meet again within this article at the Injury formula. Three different points, three different roles, one disease. That is a treatment plan.

From polio to the ill effects of medicines

Then, in talking with those patients, something surfaced that changed the use of the treatment for the next forty years.

Many of them had first had a fever. They were given some injection or medicine for it. And after that they got the polio disease.

So the thought arose: can this treatment also put right the ill effects of medicines?

And the finding of (30) Medulla

Some years later another patient came with swelling from the ill effects of medicines. At that time Guruji was reading about the functions of the brain, and until then he had discovered only (6) Medulla.

While treating that patient — by Hari's inspiration — the thought came: what if we gave the Medulla treatment more times? He began giving it rapidly. After thirty times his hand stopped, and the patient suddenly said he felt very good indeed. And — you will not believe it — at that very moment that patient's swelling had all but ended.

That treatment was named (30) Medulla. It was used on many patients, and from many experiences it is thought that it provokes prostaglandins, or improves their work.

(30) Medulla belongs to The Medulla Family and is taught whole there — every application of it, the prostaglandin physiology it is indexed against, the labour and infertility instructions, and its own prohibition. What matters here is only this: it was born in an inflammation, and it is the second of the two points on which the formula of this article is built.

The Tirupur heel

A twenty-year swelling, and the treatment she would consent to take

As of today there is no better treatment than this for the side effects of medicines. Its other functions are written under (30) Medulla; others are still being researched. That last clause stands as it is written, and no later article closes it.

The Inflammation Treatment Formula — ITF

Two points, two mechanisms, two days — and the bar each one brings

Now we have obtained two separate points for putting inflammation right. Seeing the easy method of their treatment and their miraculous results, there is no doubt these were given to Guruji by some superhuman power. Both are wonderful treatments for stopping inflammation in the body.

But they work in different ways. That sentence is the reason there is a formula at all rather than a choice between two treatments. (6) Adr is aimed at the adrenal cortex, and through it at cortisol, the body's own officer for calling the defence home. (30) Medulla is aimed at the prostaglandins, the local chemicals that make a site red, hot, swollen and tender in the first place. One works from the gland; the other works at the site. Give both and you have gone at the fire from two ends. (Figure 32.2)

This treatment has been used on many thousands of patients with such good results — what is there to say? Since the formula stops inflammation it was named the Inflammation treatment formula.

Table 3 — Card: ITF, the Inflammation Treatment Formula Seated Prone × 3 ▲ Take care

What distinguishes the two days

Students ask why this formula is written across two days at all, when almost nothing else in the formulary is. Look at what is actually different between them, because the answer is on the card. (Figure 32.3)

Day one carries the Medulla. Day two does not. (30) Medulla appears once in the whole formula, at the very front of the first day, and never again. It is the opening move, and it is made once.

Day one gives (6) Adr twice. Day two gives it three times. The adrenal treatment does not stay level; it increases on the second day — two occasions, then three.

So the shape of the formula is: one large stroke at the chemicals of the site, then a rising course at the gland. The site is quietened on day one; the gland is then worked harder on day two, when there is no Medulla competing for the session. Read that way, the two days are not a schedule. They are the treatment.

And the practical reading of it, for a therapist with a card in his hand: a day on which you find (6) Adr written three times and no (30) Medulla is not an incomplete session. It is the second day. Before you go looking for a missing step, look at the date.

The acute regimen — a sting, a bite, a swelling that is still growing

The formula above is a course. What follows is what is done when the thing is happening in front of you.

Notice what the regimen is measured in. Not sessions of thirty minutes, not days — twenty-minute intervals, and a result checked at each one. Almost nothing else in this wiki is dosed by watching. This is.

Practical tips — joining ITF to another formula

Snakebite

One incident, held as tightly as its evidence allows

A question arises of its own accord. Removing scorpion poison is one thing. Can this treatment remove the poison of a snake?

The honest answer begins with an admission: as it happens, after a snake bite nobody comes to us for treatment. People go elsewhere, and they are right to. So there is no series of cases. What there is is one incident, from 2006, in the ashram — and from it, it seems this treatment ought to succeed in removing snake poison too.

And what the therapy noticed. Our own body has a chemical that does an antiseptic's work: bile — which the liver makes and the gall bladder stores.

From there the argument builds in three steps, and each step names a job and the organ that does it.

Reading the four parts

The formula is one idea repeated four times with something added each time, which is why it is easy to learn and easy to give wrong. (Figure 32.4)

Part I stands alone. Sixty toe-finger rubs at every joint of two named toes, three rounds — and nothing else. It is the only part with no thigh work and no chest work in it. 60 TF is a great many; the instruction that governs it is the one printed with the point: rub so that the nerves under the skin are roused, but not so hard that a wound is made there. On an injured patient that warning is not decorative.

Parts II, III and IV all open identically — (1) Gal, then (1) Liv – 3 points. Gall bladder, then liver, three times over. That is the antiseptic, the clearing of the dead cells, and the raw materials, asked for again at each pass.

What changes is the chest, and it grows. Part II gives (4) Ch. Only — the chest without the thymus. Part III gives (4) Thymus+Chest — the thymus enters at the same count. Part IV gives (8) Thymus+Chest — the same treatment at double the count — and adds the thyroid.

Read downward and you can see the design. The chest is opened up before the thymus is asked for anything, and the thymus, once it enters, is doubled. That ramp is the formula.

The substitution — diabetes, arthritis, and any auto-immune disorder

This is the most instructive substitution in the formulary, because it does two things at once and both are visible here.

Table 5 — The Injury formula's substitution, set out so it cannot be got wrong ▲ Take care

Notice the counts that arrived with the arrow. (4) Ch. Only is paired with (10) ↑|↓; (8) Ch. Only is paired with (20) ↑|↓. Those are not arbitrary. They are the matched proportions of one of the four inseparable pairs established in How a Formula Is Built — (8) Ch. Only → (20) ↑|↓, and (4) Ch. Only → (10) ↑|↓ — in which Ch. Only reduces alkali and Round arrow reduces acid, and the two, matched by their counts, hold the internal balance where the rest of the formula has put it. The substitution has not merely removed a thymus. It has put in a balanced pair in its place. The pair itself, in every count and variant, belongs to Water and Salt, "Water and Salt"; here you need only know that the counts travel together and that neither half is given without the other.

And notice the span written after the arrow. (L1–L5) is not the usual Round arrow, which runs from below the neck down the right side of the column to L5 and back up the left. It is the shortened form, given only over the lumbar beads — and that restriction has a reason of its own attached to it: in diabetes, the full Round arrow is held to provoke both the thymus and the adrenal, so that the patient may be harmed by one or the other; there, Round arrow is given only as far as L1–L5. Which is to say: the substitution removes the thymus at the front of the body, and then declines to reach it from the back either. The logic is consistent all the way through.

The thyroid asterisk — fresh wounds and old ones

The twelve-rub arithmetic, which governs part IV

This is where the Injury formula is most often given wrong, and the error is pure arithmetic.

In Thymus Only, Chest Only and Thymus Chest, three rubs equal one. So the written number multiplies:

And over that sits the ceiling: in Thymus or Thymus + Chest, do not do more than 12 times on any one side at one time.

(4) Thymus+Chest, in part III, converts to twelve a side — exactly at the ceiling, and therefore given as one run each side.

(8) Thymus+Chest, in part IV, converts to twenty-four a side — which is twice the ceiling, and cannot be one run. It has to be divided, and the division has an order of its own that a table would mangle.

Haematoma, serum, and the ten-to-fifteen-day course

Now the part of the reasoning that decides how long the course runs.

If the injury is deep and the upper skin is not particularly damaged, the blood from the capillaries cannot come outside. It collects beneath the skin instead, and that is called a haematoma.

In blood there are RBC, WBCs, platelets, calcium and many clotting factors. When the blood begins to clot, these substances get set into that clot — and as they do, a light-yellow, water-like liquid separates out. That liquid is called serum.

Sportsmen, and an offer that stands

Guruji's keen desire is that sportsmen and their trainers should learn this treatment, so that they may get immediate relief from sprains and wound-pain on the playing field. Even a completely torn ligament has been fully healed after neurotherapy treatments — we have the proof of a case of 2010.

That is an open invitation, printed beside a claim, by a man who kept no records of his own achievements and said so. It is the right thing to say after a sentence about a torn ligament, and a therapist who repeats the claim should repeat the offer with it.

The (8) Medulla question, left open

One line reaches this formula from another family and it is given here exactly as it stands, because it is a question and not an instruction.

When haemorrhage occurs, serotonin is released from the platelets, which constricts the blood vessels at that place, so that 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.

(8) Medulla is the serotonin treatment, and its whole account — what it is for, and the three conditions in which it is refused — is in The Medulla Family, "The Medulla Family". It is not part of the Injury formula. It is a reasoned suggestion that somebody should find out, written down and left standing. It is not resolved in this article, and no later article resolves it either.

The note that belongs here: (6) Right Swt for bronchial asthma

Right constricts, left dilates: the side is part of the point

Before the viral formulas, one treatment has to be brought across from another article and taught properly, because it was named there only in passing and it belongs to this subject.

The context is the white cells, and specifically the eosinophils — one of the three kinds of granulocyte. Two facts about them were set down together:

Eosinophils destroy parasitic organisms. They release chemicals that cause bronchoconstriction in asthma — that is, narrowing of the airways.

And from infection in the lungs, eosinophils increase.

Put the two together and a lung infection becomes an asthma problem by a chain you can follow: infection in the lungs → eosinophils rise → the chemicals they release narrow the airways.

The polarity rule in the last row but one is the reason the side is written, and it is taught whole — with all twelve of its cranial-nerve applications — in Cranial Nerve and Brain Formulas, "The Twelve Messengers". Here, take only what the card needs: Left Swt with Left Medulla opens; Right Swt with Right Medulla closes. A card that says Swt with no side has not told you which of two opposite instructions was meant, and is to be sent back.

And note, without merging them, that the asthma patient may meet a second treatment in this article's family from an entirely different direction: from the prostaglandins the bronchioles relax, and in asthma the patient obtains immediate relief from (30) Medulla — an experience proved on many patients, and set out in full in The Medulla Family. Two treatments, two families, two accounts. Each is given for what it is given for, and neither is a version of the other.

A few days ago a person asked a question that every therapist will be asked eventually, usually by somebody who means it sincerely: can we kill virus or bacteria by this treatment? If not, how are you successful in treating diseases caused by virus or bacteria without medicine?

Since such a question naturally arises in anyone unfamiliar with this work, it must be answered — and the answer is the whole design of the formulas that follow.

The image the therapy uses to explain itself is worth keeping, because patients understand it instantly.

If someone tells us to make a line shorter without erasing it, what should we do? Draw a longer line beside it — and the first begins to look shorter.

In bacterial or viral infection we put things right in exactly this way. When the line of the body's immunity becomes longer than the powerful line of the virus, the virus can do that body no harm at all.

Nothing has been rubbed out. The germ has not been attacked. What has changed is the comparison — and it is the only one of the two lines a pair of hands can do anything about.

Two details on that card decide whether the formula is given correctly or only approximately.

Lymph is not Pan. They are given a hand's breadth apart on the same thighs. In Lymph the therapist's weight is on the heels; in Pan it is on the middle of the sole. In Lymph it is compulsory that both heels touch each other; in Pan they need not. In Lymph the toes are on the inner side of the thigh. Three differences, all checkable by eye before any weight goes down.

Th. Only is not Th + Ch. The word Only is there to say that only the thymus is to be given — not chest and not armpits. In this formula the armpits are given as their own separate step, at their own count, which is precisely why the thymus step has to be named narrowly. And Th. Only is given with no pressure at all, the knee still, the sole swinging like a pendulum, no rub on the return stroke.

By this treatment we increase the body's immunity, so that its capacity to fight any external or internal virus or bacteria increases. This protects the body from every kind of viral fever or other infection.

Ton 'P', mumps, and a restriction the therapy imposed on itself

Asking the question is your business. Are you hoping for a child, now or soon? — asked privately, plainly, and before this point is used, not after.

VTF (Mild), and the version for chronic disease

Earlier Guruji used to give the heavy treatment above. Nowadays it has been made mild — light.

That word — nowadays — is the therapy's own, and it is how this wiki prints every generation of every formula. The older version is not deleted. It stands above, complete, because a card written in 1995 is still a card somebody may have to read.

Table 8 — Card: VTF (Mild) Supine 6 sec × 3 ▲ Take care

Then, on practising, a further thing was found: when cells are made in the bone marrow, the spleen's cells control inflammation. And from that, a third generation. (Figure 32.6)

Table 9 — Card: VTF for chronic disease Supine 6 sec × 3 ▲ Take care

Stated for · General immunity · Everyone; after fever has come; small children · Old diseases like cancer

Not given to · — · Auto immune disorder · Auto immune disorder

Read the table across and one thing is unmistakable. At each reduction, the steps dropped were the ones that carried the therapy's own cautions. Ton 'P' went, and the fertility restriction went out with it. Armpits went. The spleen went last, and did not go absolutely — it comes back the moment the Spl point is tender.

That is not a formula being weakened. It is a formula being narrowed to the part that was doing the work, over thirty years of watching.

Choosing between the three families

Which of these three is this? — the chapter read backwards

Everything in this article has now been taught. What remains is the question a therapist actually faces with a patient in front of him, which is not what is this formula but which of these three is this?

Table 11 — The chooser

The last row of that table is the one to sit with. A patient with cancer and a painful swollen limb presents both families at once — and the family that would treat the swelling contains the point that is specifically barred in cancer. The chooser does not resolve that for you. What it does is make sure you see it before your hands are on the patient rather than afterwards.

Where this leads

Blood that must clot, and blood that must not: the door to heparin

One more property of blood has to be named before the next article, because the Injury formula has already relied on it without saying so.

It is a property of blood that as long as it keeps moving fast there is no danger. But if it stops anywhere, or its speed becomes very slow, it will begin to set — which is called clotting. This is a law of nature made for our protection: were it not so, then on receiving a blow blood would keep flowing from the wound, and death could occur from the loss.

And exactly the opposite is also true. If clotting occurs unwanted, inside the vessels, that too is fatal. So for this too nature has made an arrangement: in our body there are special cells which make a chemical named heparin, whose work is not to let clots form in the blood.

That is the doorway into the next article, and everything on the far side of it — where heparin is made and in what proportions, how a clot is built step by step, and the eleven named heparin formulas — belongs to The River — Heparin, "The River".

Questions students ask

1. I am nineteen and I cannot keep the three families apart in my head. Is there one question that sorts them? Yes, and it is: what is the body doing too much of, too little of, or trying to rebuild? Too much defence is inflammation — quieten it with ITF. Too little defence is infection — raise it with VTF. Rebuilding is injury — supply it with the Injury formula. Every card in this article is one of those three sentences.

2. I am a retired chemistry teacher. The book says (6) Adr works by cortisol from the adrenal cortex, and then says the nerve supply "is received from below T6?" — with a question mark. Am I meant to believe it or not? You are meant to read it as it is written. The question mark is the therapy's own and it has never been removed. What is stated without a question mark is what was observed: the rub was given at that place, the patient felt better, and the swelling came down. The inference about the nerve supply is offered as the reasoning that led to the site, not as a proved fact — and this wiki does not upgrade it. Hold the observation firmly and the explanation loosely; that is how it was handed to you.

3. A village therapist: the snakebite passage says this should especially be taught to village people. Do I teach it? Teach it as it is written — including the second half of the instruction, which people forget: afterwards, if there is need, other appropriate treatment can certainly be given. What you are teaching a village is what to do with the hands they already have, in the minutes they already have, while the rest of what must happen happens. A teaching that leaves out the second sentence has changed the teaching.

4. Why is ITF spread over two days? Could I not give the whole thing in one afternoon? Because the two days are not two halves of a quantity; they are two different days. Day one is (30) Medulla once, then (6) Adr on two occasions. Day two is (6) Adr on three occasions and no Medulla at all. Compress it and you have given a formula nobody has taught you the effects of. The order and the spacing are the formula — How a Formula Is Built.

5. I am a housewife learning this for my family. My son plays football and comes home with bruises every week. Can I give the Injury formula at home? This is precisely what Guruji wanted taught to sportsmen and their trainers, so yes — learn it properly and give it. Two things to fix in your mind before you start. 60 TF is sixty rubs at each joint of two named toes, and the instruction is that the nerves are roused but no wound is made there — so the number is large and the hand is not heavy. And check the family for diabetes, arthritis or any auto-immune disease before you give the thymus steps, because that is the one thing in the formula that changes according to who the patient is.

6. I am a doctor. The article says the root cause of an infection is not the germ but the fallen immunity. Is that what I am supposed to tell patients? What you are being taught is what this therapy is aiming at and why it aims there. Say it in the form that is true of your own work: this treatment does not attack the organism; it is directed at the host. That is an accurate description of the formula, it promises nothing it cannot do, and it leaves whatever else the patient needs exactly where it belongs — with whoever is prescribing it. We use no medicine, and we do not tell a patient to stop theirs.

7. Why does the Injury formula begin at the toes? It seems the furthest possible place from a bruised thigh. Because part I is not aimed at the bruise. TF 'Gal – Liv' is aimed at the gall bladder and the liver, which are the third and fourth toes of the left foot on the toe key — the antiseptic, the clearing of dead cells, and the raw materials. Parts II, III and IV then go at the same two organs from the thigh and the arm. The formula asks the liver for what a repair needs, four times, and only then works the chest. See also → The Front of the Body II.

8. Ch. Only looks like a weaker Thymus+Chest to me. Why is it a separate point? Because Th + Ch is withheld in inflammation and in auto-immune disease, and the chest work is not. If there were no separate name for the chest, a therapist treating such a patient would have to abandon the whole step. The word Only is what lets a formula keep the part that is permitted and drop the part that is barred — which is exactly what the Injury formula's substitution does.

9. The article tells me to give (6) Adr for polio and also tells me (6) Adr lowers immunity. How can both be true? They are true of two different things. The indication is about what the treatment does to inflammation — and polio myelitis is a disease of inflammation, which is why it is given. The prohibition is about what the treatment does to immunity, and it bites when that patient's immunity is already low. Neither sentence weakens the other. An instruction with an indication and a contraindication is not a contradiction; it is an ordinary complete instruction, and most of the formulary is built this way.

10. Someone will ask me why we give a constricting treatment, (6) Right Swt, for asthma. What do I say? Say what is taught. The reasoning printed with it runs through the eosinophils: they release the chemicals that narrow the airways in asthma, and from infection in the lungs eosinophils increase — and for bronchial asthma, that is bronchitis, the treatment is (6) Right Swt. The side is part of the identity of the point and is not to be swapped on your own reasoning. If a card says Swt with no side, send it back.

1. 11. How do I know when to stop the Injury formula? By the patient, not the calendar. The instruction gives both — ten to fifteen days, or until the serum dries up — and the second governs. You are feeling for the collected lump to lose its firmness and its edges. Write what you find each day, so that on the eleventh day you are comparing with something rather than remembering.

12. If VTF (Mild) is good for everyone, why would I ever give the heavy original? Because it is still printed, and because a therapist should be able to read a card written before it was lightened. The older forms in this wiki are never errors; they are earlier generations, kept beside their successors. How a Formula Is Built is where that convention is taught and why it exists. What you give today is a matter for the patient in front of you and for whoever is supervising your practice.

Questions patients ask

1. 1. "A scorpion has stung my son. Should I bring him to you or go to the hospital?" Go, now, and do not stop anywhere on the way. What I can do with my hands is a real thing and it is offered as the thing done first, by the people who are already there — not as the thing done instead. A child who has been stung goes to a doctor, and anything I do, I do alongside that.

2. "Why are you rubbing my back for a swelling in my ankle?" Because the swelling is being treated from the place that controls it, not the place where it shows. There is a gland that makes the body's own chemical for calling off a swelling, and it sits deep at the back where no hand can reach it — so we work at the middle of the back, where the nerves that serve it come out. It is the same idea as turning a tap at the wall rather than arguing with the water.

1. 3. "The doctor said I have conjunctivitis and gave drops. Should I stop them?" No, and I would not ask you to. We use no medicine here and we never tell anybody to stop theirs. Keep using exactly what you were given. If the day comes when the trouble has gone completely, go back to that doctor and ask whether you still need it. That decision is theirs.

4. "My bruise has gone green and yellow. Is it getting infected?" That colour change is what a bruise is supposed to do, and it means the body has started taking the old blood apart where it lies — red, then green, then yellow, then a faint brown that fades last. What I am watching is not the colour but the lump: whether it is losing its firmness. If a bruise becomes hot, or the pain starts increasing again after it had settled, or you become feverish, tell me the same day and see a doctor, because that is a different story.

5. "You are pressing so lightly on my chest. Is that really doing anything?" Yes — and light is the instruction, not my kindness. This particular treatment is a rub, not a press, and for the breastbone it is given with no pressure at all: my foot should travel as though it were slipping on wet clay. What matters here is the direction, the number of journeys and which side comes first. If I leaned on you I would be giving a different treatment, not a stronger one.

6. "My mother has cancer. My neighbour says this therapy boosts immunity. Will it help her?" There is a form of the immunity treatment made specifically for long-standing diseases, and it is the lightest one — two steps, six times. So yes, something is offered, and many families find real benefit in how the person eats, sleeps and feels. What I will not tell you is that it treats the cancer, and you should be careful of anyone who does. It runs alongside whatever her doctors are doing, never instead of it, and I would want them to know she is coming. There is also a treatment in this article that we specifically do not give in cancer, and knowing where the lines are is part of doing this properly.
