Each Point in Use

The card that was right in every line but one

A composite, assembled from a hundred evenings at the ashram rather than from one.

She was twenty-three, in her second year, and she had written the best card anyone in that batch had written. The patient was a man of fifty-one with long-standing constipation, thinning hair, a dull ache under the right ribs and skin that had been scaling on both shins since the cold weather. She had palpated him properly, found tenderness at Const and at Gal, and built her card out of what she had found: (4) Const for the bowel, (4) Thrd for the hair and the skin and the sluggish afternoons, (1) Pt. Gal × 6 for the scaling skin with constipation, where the benefit is great.

Every one of those choices was correct. Every one of them is written, in this article, in the column headed what it is used for. She showed the card to her teacher with the small pride of somebody who has finally stopped guessing.

He read it, and asked her one question. "Does he wheeze?" She did not know. She went back and asked, and the man said yes — since childhood, worse in the cold weather, an inhaler in his shirt pocket that he had not thought worth mentioning because nobody had asked. Two lines of her card came off it that evening. Not because they were the wrong treatment for his skin and his bowel; they were the right treatment for his skin and his bowel. They came off because of a line printed in a box beneath each of them, in the column she had not yet learnt to read.

For nine articles you have been learning where the points are and how they are given. This article turns the atlas over and reads the other side of every card: what each point is for, and who must not be given it. It is the article a therapist opens with a patient lying in front of him and a half-written card in his hand.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN HERE

By the end of this article you will be able to:

Look up any chemical point or any physical point in this therapy and say, in one breath, what it is used for and when it must not be used.

Read a bracketed count as a selector, not a strength — and explain why (2) Pan and (4) Pan are two different treatments with opposite prohibitions.

Tell apart the three kinds of caution in this therapy: the one reasoned from what the point does, the one learnt at the mat by watching a patient get worse, and the one that names a substitute in the same breath.

Name, without looking, the points withheld in pregnancy, in menstruation, in diabetes, in high and low blood pressure, in cancer, in kidney failure, in fits, in asthma and from a growing child — and say what is given instead where a substitute is written.

Give the two paired instructions that must never be separated: P point followed immediately by (6) WD, and Ton 'T' followed immediately by Sangam points.

Say which pairs of treatments must not be given in the same session, and why each pair pulls in opposite directions.

Build a treatment card by reading the prohibitions first and the indications second, and explain to a patient, without frightening her, why a point that would help her is not being given today.

How to read this article

Read the right column first; the bracket is a selector, not a dose

The atlas taught you a verb. This article teaches you a sentence.

The Front of the Body I to 24 answered how: where the patient lies, where the hand or the foot goes, how many times, at what angle, in what order. Not once did they answer why this patient. That was deliberate. A student who learns the indication before the technique starts fishing for diseases; a student who learns the technique first has something to hang the indication on.

Now the hanging is done, and it has two halves.

THE WORDS WE USE

Chemical points and physical points

A chemical point is named for a substance the therapy is working to move — Pan for the pancreas and what it makes, Adr for the adrenal cortex, Thrd for the thyroid, Para for the parathyroid, Ku for the cells of the blood. Its entry reads like a pharmacology: this is the chemical, this is what more of it does, and therefore this is the person who must not have more of it.

A physical point is named for a place, a movement or a person — Back arrow, L5–S1 ghisai, Giriraj, Pradip, Shivaji, Vasanti. Its entry reads like a piece of engineering: this tissue has come down, this tissue is caught, this joint has stiffened, and this is the pull that puts it back.

Both halves are in this article, the chemical points first and the physical points after. The difference matters when you are deciding what to leave out. A chemical point is usually withheld because the body is already making too much of something. A physical point is usually withheld because of what the hand or the foot would be doing to a bone, a joint, an inflamed belly or a chest.

Three habits make this article usable rather than merely long.

First — the number in the bracket is a selector, not a dose. This is the single most important sentence in the article and it is stated at the head of three separate families. Stimulating in different numbers produces different effects. (2) Adr raises sodium and is refused to a patient with high blood pressure. (4) Adr raises blood sugar and is refused to a diabetic. (6) Adr reduces inflammation and is refused to anybody whose immunity is already low. Those are not three strengths of one treatment. They are three treatments, and a prohibition attached to one of them does not travel to the others.

Second — read the right-hand column before the middle one. A therapist who reads the indications first will always find a reason to give a point; the list of uses is long and generous and some of it will fit almost any patient. Read the prohibitions first and you are asking the only question that can harm somebody: is there a reason this person must not have it? The story at the head of this article is that habit, arriving one week late. (Figure 25.2)

Third — a prohibition that names a substitute must be obeyed as written, substitute and all. Only a few entries do this, and they are the most useful lines in the article. Where Mu is forbidden, (4) Down arrow may be given in its place. Where (2) Pan is forbidden in a child being treated for height, (4) Pan or (10) Pan may be given. In heart patients, (2) Thrd is given in place of (4) Thrd. Where Gas Only must be given to a constipated patient, Gas 'I' must be given with it — and if the constipation is severe, (2) S4, S5 as well. A closed door with another door beside it is a rule a therapist can actually keep.

Key teaching

The three kinds of caution, and how each is to be treated

The caution reasoned from what the point does.

This point raises X; therefore withhold it where more X is harmful. (4) Adr raises blood sugar, so not in diabetes. Gas Only raises stomach acid, so not in ulcer. Gas 'I' increases the movement of the small intestine, so not in loose motions. Lu + Sh raises blood pressure, so not in high blood pressure or heart disease. Follow these, and learn the mechanism with them — the reason is the memory hook.

The caution learnt by watching. I saw this go wrong, and I do not know why. Gal in asthma increases the trouble — so it is not given. Gal is not given to those passing little urine, and the line attached to it says plainly: this is a matter of experience. Pan given to a patient with schizophrenia causes them to hear voices in the ears, so it is not given to them. These are the rarest and the most valuable kind, because nobody deduced them; somebody paid for them. Follow them exactly, and keep the same kind of record yourself.

The caution that protects a body still being built. (2) Pan stops growth hormone, so it is not given to a child whose height is less or who is under treatment to increase height. Lt. Ov. and Rt. Ov. are refused to the same child, because oestrogen and progesterone hasten the closure of the epiphyseal line of the long bones and the growth in height will stop before its time. These two are absolute and they are worth saying out loud to a parent, because a parent who understands them will not go looking for the treatment elsewhere.

The number in the bracket is a selector, not a dose. Four count ladders — Pan, Thrd, Adr and Swt — read down, each count carrying what it opens and the bar attached to it alone, with the left/right split of Swt set out as two opposite treatments.

TAKE CARE

The lines that are not negotiable, wherever they appear

Nothing in this article is given to a patient whose complaint has not been examined today. The indications are matched to findings, not to the name on a referral slip.

We use no medicine, and we do not tell a patient to stop theirs. A patient whose complaint has gone entirely is sent back to their own doctor to ask whether the quantity should change.

A finding that ends a session ends it, whatever the card says — the red-flag findings of The Low Back, "The Low Back", and the conditions of When the Hand Must Stop, "When the Hand Must Stop", outrank every indication printed here.

Where a prohibition and an indication both apply to the same patient, the prohibition wins. There is no line anywhere in this therapy that says otherwise.

Thirty-two codes, in nine families. Each table gives the point and its variant, what it is used for, when it must not be used, and the notes attached to it — including the article where its method is taught, so that the reference and the atlas stay bound together. (Figure 25.1)

How a point entry is read. One entry drawn as a four-panel reference card, with a red 1 over the prohibition column and a grey 2 over the uses, and the curved arrow that sets the reading order before the first patient.

The two adrenal points — cortex and medulla

Adr is aimed at the rind, Swt at the core — and the counts differ

The adrenal gland is two glands in one wrapper. The outer rind makes the slow chemicals — the salt-holding one, the sugar-raising one, the one that puts out inflammation. The inner core makes the fast ones, the two that a fright releases. ADR is aimed at the rind; SWT is aimed at the core. That is the whole of why they behave so differently, and why the counts under each open onto such different rooms.

Table 1 — ADR, the adrenal cortex point

Point and variant	What it is used for	When it must not be used	Notes
ADR (the family)	Stimulates the adrenal cortex — the upper, outer part of the adrenal gland. Stimulating it in different numbers produces different effects	—	The framing line for everything below it. Method:
(2) Adr	To stimulate aldosterone and so raise sodium. For cramps caused by salt deficiency — as occurs in athletes, or from sweating after walking in strong sun	Do not give (2) Adr to high blood pressure patients ▲ Take care	Salt held in the body is water held with it, and water held is pressure raised. The mechanism and the prohibition are one thought
(4) Adr	To raise blood sugar by way of glucagon	Do not give (4) Adr to diabetic patients ▲ Take care	The same internal logic, applied to sugar instead of salt
(6) Adr	Usually given as (6) Adr × 3 treatments. For pain at the Mu point — relief is immediate. When mucus (आँव) appears in the stools, motions normalise after a few treatments. For poisoning, drug side-effects, snake and scorpion envenomation, and poisonous herbs. Good for opening a blocked nose. For throat pain due to tonsils — immediate relief. For any disease whose name ends in -itis — ankylosing spondylitis (bamboo spine), conjunctivitis, appendicitis and so on. To end inflammation in the gall bladder or any other organ. Wherever cortisol medication would be needed, this gives relief. For polio and other inflammatory diseases. For fear and depression — extreme sadness. For knee pain with heat and swelling. In autoimmune disease, to suppress the thymus	It reduces immunity. So do not give in septicaemia, AIDS, HIV or cancer, because immunity is already reduced in these. It reduces acid and raises alkali. Therefore do not give in high blood pressure ▲ Take care × 3	Two prohibitions, each drawn from a stated mechanism. Note that the count is written with the number of treatments as well as the number of applications

Poisoning, envenomation and appendicitis are named in that list and each of them is a race. A (6) Adr given while somebody carries a child to a hospital is one thing; a (6) Adr given instead of carrying the child is another.

Table 2 — SWT, the adrenal medulla and sweat point

Point and variant	What it is used for	When it must not be used	Notes
SWT (the family)	Stimulates the adrenal medulla — the inner part of the adrenal gland — and the sweat glands. In this too it has been seen that stimulating in different numbers produces different functions	—	Method:
(3) Swt	To reduce the smell of sweat, or the smell of urine. And if there are pimples, it is to be given	—	The smallest count and the mildest use
(6) Swt	By means of nor-epinephrine, to reduce the motility of the intestines in loose motions	—	Given as one point, without a side
(6) Left Swt Left	To open — dilate — any sphincter, valve or duct that has become narrowed. For those with difficulty breathing in asthma. It stimulates epinephrine, which can reduce the diastolic blood pressure. Where there is difficulty swallowing from constriction of the food pipe, immediate benefit has been found. Where narrowing of the urinary passage makes urine come with burning and pain in a forceful stream, this gives relief. In men, where prostate enlargement makes urine come in stops and starts, or drop by drop, it may perhaps be beneficial	Epinephrine raises blood sugar, so do not give to diabetic patients ▲ Take care	The opening side. The last claim is printed with its own question mark and is not to be promised to a patient
(6) Right Swt Right	Stops the movement of the intestinal tract — so beneficial in loose motions. To constrict any sphincter, valve or duct that has become dilated. For those with difficulty breathing out in bronchitis — immediate benefit is seen. Very effective for the swelling in the legs from varicose veins. Where expansion of the muscles of the urinary bladder makes some women, or elderly people, pass a few drops of urine on laughing or sneezing, it corrects that	It stimulates nor-epinephrine. Therefore do not give to high blood pressure patients ▲ Take care	The closing side

Read those last two rows across each other and you will see the finest piece of bookkeeping in the whole atlas. One point, split by side, becomes two opposite treatments. The left opens and the right closes. The left is refused to a diabetic; the right is refused to a hypertensive. Nothing else in this therapy is built quite so symmetrically, and a student who can recite the left–right split of Swt has understood what is meant by the count and the side are the treatment.

The organs of digestion

The largest family: every gland draws its raw material from digestion

This is the largest family in the therapy and the reason the belly is worked before anything else. Every gland in the body draws its raw material from what digestion delivers.

The pancreas — PAN

By Pan we stimulate the pancreas. Stimulating in different numbers produces different effects — and here, more than anywhere, the counts open onto rooms that have nothing to do with one another.

Table 3 — PAN, by count

Point and variant	What it is used for	When it must not be used	Notes
(2) Pan 6 sec	To end tumour, cyst or cancer by means of somatostatin. If any gland or hormone is hyper — that is, working too much — it stops it. To stop unwanted abnormal growth anywhere in the body. For lipoma — lumps of fat — for fibroids, or for stiffness in the muscles. Will also benefit HIV patients. To increase urine in kidney failure, uraemia and nephrotic syndrome. In psoriasis and other skin diseases it stops the skin from becoming hyper, and stimulates the kidney to throw out toxins. And to correct HIV, goitre — swelling of the thyroid gland — and the like	It stops GH, that is growth hormone. Therefore do not give (2) Pan to children whose height is less, or who are taking treatment from us to increase height. They may be given (4) Pan or (10) Pan ▲ Take care	A prohibition that names its mechanism and its substitute — the best-shaped rule in the article. And see the six-second warning below, which belongs to this row
(4) Pan	To correct weakness arising from lack of sugar, by means of glucagon. Glucagon will give nourishment to the cells — so it may be given in small children to increase appetite and height. For players who feel fatigue shortly after playing it may perhaps be beneficial — further research is going on	Those who have diabetes: giving (4) Pan will raise the blood sugar. So do not give them (4) Pan ▲ Take care	The hedge on the athletes is the therapy's own and is kept
(8) Pan	For the digestive enzymes of the pancreas, and for sodium bicarbonate, which will reduce the acidity of the stomach. To increase appetite. In stomach ulcer. In indigestion. Also to correct pain in the Pan area	Giving Pan increases alkali — therefore do not give in fits, convulsions or seizures. But it may be given within the Heparin formula. Giving Pan to schizophrenia patients causes them to hear voices in the ears. So do not give it to them ▲ Take care	Both prohibitions are written as rules for Pan in general, not for (8) alone — and the exception inside the first is part of it.
(10) Pan	Stimulates insulin. Given to diabetic patients to maintain the body's sugar level. Excellent for cataract and eye diseases. For joint pain of many years' standing, relief is immediate — because one function of insulin is to deliver proteins inside the tissues, and joint pains come precisely because proteins do not reach inside the cells. Given to correct hole in the heart (ASD, VSD, PDA). In heart disease or obesity, to reduce triglycerides — chiefly where the diabetes or heart disease arises from hypothyroidism. To end dead skin from tissues, to open old clots, and to protect the skin from bacteria, acting as an antiseptic. To correct cracking of the skin of the hands or the feet. To increase the number of white cells (?). If the mother of a cerebral palsy child had high blood pressure during pregnancy, giving that child (10) Pan will benefit (?). In kidney failure — uraemia, nephrotic syndrome — HIV and goitre, those who do not benefit from (2) Pan benefit from (10) Pan (?). A child who is very hyper may become even more hyper on being given (10) Pan (?)	(no separate box; the general Pan prohibitions above stand)	The question marks belong to the therapy and are kept exactly where they were put. Four of these claims are marked by their own author as not yet settled, and a student is entitled to know which
(18) Pan	To reduce the amount of prolactin in women. Also excellent for cataract and eye diseases	(the general Pan prohibitions stand)	The highest count in the family

TAKE CARE

The six-second warning, which belongs to (2) Pan and to nothing else {{6s}}

Please note. (2) Pan will make somatostatin, which will kill the cancer cells. But (4) Pan makes glucagon, which will give nourishment to all the cells of the body and increase their growth — by which the cancer cells too will get food, and instead of dying will begin to grow further.

Therefore, while giving (2) Pan, this must be kept in mind: that you are giving the pressure for exactly six seconds only. Because if by mistake the therapist stays for more seconds instead of six, it will act like (4) Pan — which is harmful in the disease of cancer.

Read what that asks of you. It is not a warning about pressure or about position. It is a warning about counting, and it attaches the worst consequence in the atlas to the laziest habit in the atlas.

The gall bladder, the stomach and the intestines

Table 4 — GAL, GAS ONLY and GAS 'I'

Point and variant	What it is used for	When it must not be used	Notes
Gal — TF 'Gal', (1) Gal, (3) Gal and so on	Pain in the right front of the chest. To stimulate the upper part of the ascending colon. To stimulate the gall bladder, so that bile is released in adequate quantity as required. To lower cholesterol. To heal a blow or an injury. For wrinkles in the skin — give after checking for pain. For frequent urination. For skin disease with constipation. And wherever there is pus or discharge — in the ear or anywhere on the body	Do not give in leukaemia, blood cancer or other diseases arising from a raised white cell count. In asthma this point increases the trouble — so do not give it. Do not give to those passing little urine. This is a matter of experience ▲ Take care	Three prohibitions of three different kinds.
(1) Pt. Gal × 6 treatments	In viral fever, if there is pain at Gal. In all skin diseases — allergy, psoriasis, leucoderma (vitiligo) and so on — and especially where the patient also complains of constipation, where the benefit is great. In the HCl formula, to stimulate the part of the stomach near the pylorus and so produce gastrin	(the Gal prohibitions above stand)	Six treatments, not six applications.
(9) Gal	To reduce excessive anger — anger spoils the gall bladder. Especially to settle hyperactivity and restlessness in children	(the Gal prohibitions above stand)	The one entry in the family aimed at temperament
Gas Only — TF 'Gas Only', (1) Gas Only – 6 points, (6) Gas Only	This is for the stomach. To reduce pain below Pan and above the navel. To increase hydrochloric acid in the stomach. To digest protein by means of pepsin. To form intrinsic factor, so that vitamin B₁₂ is properly absorbed. In cancer, spasticity, fits, cerebral palsy, rheumatoid arthritis and joint pain, and in the UDF formula. It stops loose motions. Giving Gas Only removes pain in the right ring finger — but give only as much as is needed to remove the pain. For nausea, and to stop vomiting, it is immediately helpful — especially in pregnant women; but if they have back pain, it is better to give the treatment with the hands rather than the feet	Do not give to those who have an ulcer in the stomach or duodenum. For those with constipation, piles or fistula, if Gas Only must be given for some reason, Gas 'I' must be given with it; and if the constipation is severe, (2) S4, S5 may also be given with Gas 'I' ▲ Take care	The ulcer prohibition follows from the point's own mechanism. The second half is not a prohibition but a compensation — the point's own side-effect answered in the same breath.
Gas 'I' — TF Gas 'I', (1) Gas 'I' – 6 points and so on	To reduce pain directly above the navel. To stimulate the jejunum and the ileum for secretin and CCK, so that digestion and absorption proceed properly. For constipated patients, to increase small intestinal motility. For children who drool — where Lu + Sh has not helped, Gas 'I' does	(see the (6) Gas 'I' box)
(6) Gas 'I'	Increases blood flow in the arteries of the intestines and the kidneys. Prevents the kidney from producing renin, and so normalises high blood pressure. Enables the enteric neurons of the gastrointestinal tract to produce serotonin and other brain neurotransmitters	Gas 'I' increases small intestinal motility, so do not give it if there are loose motions ▲ Take care	The prohibition governs the whole Gas 'I' family, not this count alone
(12) Gas 'I'	Given in Parkinson's disease to produce dopamine. It works like (20) Medulla	(the loose-motions prohibition stands)

Key teaching

The stomach point and its companion — the clearest compensation rule in the therapy

Gas Only stops loose motions. That is one of the things it is for, and it is also the reason it becomes a problem in the wrong belly.

So the instruction does not simply forbid it to a constipated patient. It says: if Gas Only must be given for some reason to somebody with constipation, piles or fistula, then Gas 'I' must be given with it — because Gas 'I' increases the movement of the small intestine and pulls in the other direction. And if the constipation is severe, (2) S4, S5 may also be given with Gas 'I'.

Three points, running together, each answering the last one's shadow. Learn the shape of this instruction, because you will meet it again in the formulary: a therapy that knows what its own treatments cost writes the payment into the same line.

The liver and the spleen

Table 5 — LIV and SPL

Point and variant	What it is used for	When it must not be used	Notes
(1) Liv – 3 points / (2) Liv – 3 points	Pain to the right of the navel. To stimulate the liver and the middle part of the ascending colon. To reduce fever and fight infection through the Kupffer cells — excellent for fevers of every kind. To increase appetite and improve fat metabolism. To lower blood cholesterol. To improve circulation and keep blood sugar correct. To clear the scars of burns — from fire or from chemicals — and wounds from a blow. In kidney failure and other chronic diseases, to stimulate erythropoietin so that the red cell count does not fall too low. It may be given in any disease	But if there is cancer in the liver, do not give it ▲ Take care	The widest indication in the atlas and a single hard bar, printed in adjacent lines.
(7) Liv	Used in the Heparin, 1,25 DCC and angiotensin #2 formulas	(the liver-cancer bar stands)
(12) Liv	Very beneficial for dissolving gallstones. Perhaps it works something like cholic acid. Also used in the Lactic acid formula	(the liver-cancer bar stands)	The hedge — perhaps — is the therapy's own and is kept.
(1) point liver × 6 treatments	Given all day, at one-hour intervals. Beneficial in liver diseases — hepatitis, jaundice, cirrhosis, or fatty infiltration of the liver, fat accumulating in the liver tissue and obstructing its function. In all serious or long-standing diseases — kidney disease, enlarged spleen, enlarged heart. In angina, HIV, AIDS, cancer. In blood clot in the brain. In circulation problems. To increase lung capacity, digestion, weight or immunity. For erythropoietin, for B₁₂ deficiency, and to raise red cells or haemoglobin — especially in pregnant women. Where white cells are raised, where ammonia is raised, where potassium is high or low, or to reduce abnormal protein	(the liver-cancer bar stands)	Six treatments through one day, an hour apart — the count is a timetable, not a number of presses
Spl — TF 'Spl', (1) point Spl, (1) Spl, (3) Spl	To stimulate the upper part of the descending colon — for those who have constipation, or pain in the left front part of the chest. To make white cells and antibodies by means of the spleen. To be given in viral fever, septicaemia, HIV and the like. Nowadays also given in inflammation. To be tried on polio patients, to see whether they benefit from it?	In cold, allergy, asthma and the like this does harm — so do not give it to asthma patients. Nowadays it is not given in cancer. It is not given in diabetes or in other autoimmune disorders ▲ Take care	But one myasthenia gravis patient obtained much relief from Spl after a single treatment. One patient, recorded as one patient — and the word nowadays, twice, marking a rule that changed

Notice the word nowadays. It appears twice in the Spl box — nowadays it is also given in inflammation, nowadays it is not given in cancer — and it is doing something a therapist should respect. It marks a rule that was different before and was changed on evidence. A teaching that prints its own revisions rather than quietly rewriting them is telling you that the atlas is a living record, and that your own careful observations have somewhere to go.

The bowel points — MU, CONST, DYS

Table 6 — The three bowel points, and the substitution written for one of them

Point and variant	What it is used for	When it must not be used	Notes
Mu — म्यूकस, mucus	For pain just to the left of the navel. To stimulate the middle part of the descending colon. Good for constipation, and for a blocked nose	It stimulates the mucous membrane from the mouth to the anus. So do not give to those who have a cold, or whose nose is running, or from whose mouth excessive saliva is coming. In its place, (4) Down arrow may be given ▲ Take care	The only chemical point whose prohibition names a substitute. Method:
(1) Const / (4) Const	In hard constipation there is pain in the region above and to the left of the navel. This treatment removes that pain, and also relieves the constipation that occurs in hypothyroidism, in bamboo spine (ankylosing spondylitis), in Parkinson's disease and in paralysis	Do not give to those who have loose motions ▲ Take care	The palpation finding comes before the treatment: the tenderness above and left of the navel is what selects the point
Dys	Loose motions — but give this only if there is pain in the upper part to the right of the navel; otherwise not. It may be given for a day or two to correct loose motions	Do not give to those who have constipation. And the standing warning: its use must be undertaken only with great thought — because it works against the natural motion, the peristalsis, of the intestines ▲ Take care	Three brakes on one point: a palpation gate, a time limit of a day or two, and a warning about the mechanism itself

Key teaching

Dys — the most self-restrained point in the therapy

Read the three brakes again, because between them they are a small course in how to hold a powerful treatment.

The gate. Give this only if there is pain in the upper part to the right of the navel; otherwise not. Not if the patient has loose motions — the complaint is not enough. There must be a finding under your fingers.

The ceiling. It may be given for a day or two. A day or two is not a suggestion about how long it takes to work. It is the outer limit.

The reason. Its use must be undertaken only with great thought — because it works against the natural motion of the intestines. Loose motions are partly the body emptying something it wants out. A treatment that slows the bowel is holding that something in. The therapy says this about its own point, in its own voice, and asks you to think before you use it. ▲ Take care

And there is a reason that warning is not squeamishness. The gut carries its own nervous system — a complete network of nerve cells in the wall of the intestine, enough of them to run the whole organ on their own; cut every connection to the brain and an intestine still senses what is inside it, still decides, and still moves it along in orderly waves. Which means a bowel that has speeded up has usually decided to speed up, and something is in it that its own wiring wants gone. It works against the natural motion of the intestines is respect for a second brain that knows more about the situation than the therapist does.

A MISTAKE STUDENTS MAKE

"I held it a little longer to be thorough"

The commonest fault in a therapist's second year is not carelessness. It is conscientiousness pointed in the wrong direction — the wish to give a little more of a good thing. He counts to six, sees the patient settle, and rides the press out to eight or nine because it seems kind.

In most of this therapy that habit wastes time. In (2) Pan it changes the treatment into its opposite, and the row above says so in the plainest words in this atlas.

The cure is a spoken count, out loud or under the breath, every single time, for every single point, from your first week — so that on the day you are giving (2) Pan to a frightened family your mouth is already trained and your sympathy has nothing to add. Count aloud. It also tells the patient when the press will end, which is half of why they relax.

The two kidneys and the two directions

Liv° reduces alkali, Mu° reduces acid — learn the two as a pair

Everything in this therapy that has a left and a right has a reason for it, and nowhere is the reason plainer than here. The left kidney point pulls the body's chemistry one way; the right kidney point pulls it the other. Learn them as a pair or you will learn neither. (Figure 25.3)

Table 7 — LIV°, MU° and ACID

Point and variant	What it is used for	When it must not be used	Notes
Liv° — the right kidney Right — (1) Liv°, (3) Liv°, (5) Liv°, (7) Liv°	Stimulates the function of the right kidney. Reduces pain in the right side of the back. Reduces alkali in the blood — so that high blood pressure is corrected. For itching, allergy and skin diseases. In intellectually disabled children with pneumonia, and in children with a forehead smaller than normal, it is given within the Kidney Clear formula. For stones in the right kidney. Used in the Alkali formula and the 1,25 DCC formula. May be given for any problem of the right kidney	But do not stimulate it in kidney failure or in kidney cancer ▲ Take care	The verb is stimulate, and it is chosen: this is not merely withholding a treatment but refusing to drive a failing organ harder.
Mu° — the left kidney Left — (1) Mu°, (3) Mu°, (5) Mu°, (7) Mu°	Stimulates the function of the left kidney. Reduces pain in the left part of the back. Reduces the acid of the blood, by which low blood pressure is corrected. For stone in the left kidney, itching, allergy and skin diseases. In intellectually disabled children with pneumonia, and in children with a forehead smaller than normal, it is given within the Kidney Clear formula. In chronic diseases it is given to make erythropoietin, which will stimulate the bone marrow to make red blood cells. Used in the Acid formula, the Angiotensin #2 formula and the 1,25 DCC formula	Give for all problems of the left kidney. But do not stimulate it in kidney failure or in kidney cancer. Those who have pain only at Liv° — do not give it to them ▲ Take care	The second bar is a laterality gate: if the finding is on the right, the left is not treated.
(1) Acid / (2) Acid Side-lying	Reduces pain in the upper middle part of the left thigh. Relieves pain of the organs of the left side of the body. Reduces heavy menstrual bleeding. For the symptoms of acidity — piles, constipation, fistula, fissure, and prolapse of the uterus or of the rectum from its place. Useful in low blood pressure	Do not give if there are loose motions, or if there is no pain at Mu° ▲ Take care	The second half of the bar is a diagnostic rule as much as a prohibition. Method:

Set four separate entries beside one another and watch them line up.

Key teaching

The direction the whole system agrees on

Liv° reduces alkali — and so corrects high blood pressure.

Mu° reduces acid — and so corrects low blood pressure.

(6) Adr reduces acid and raises alkali — therefore do not give in high blood pressure.

Pit raises alkali — so do not give to high blood pressure, cancer and fits patients.

All four agree, on pages that never mention one another: alkali is the direction that raises pressure; acid is the direction that lowers it. That agreement is what tells you the atlas was thought through rather than assembled. And it is why Acid is useful in low blood pressure and (1) Acid is refused to a patient with no pain at Mu° — the left-sided, acid-reducing kidney point and the acid point belong to the same account.

Left and right are two treatments, not two sides. The acid account and the alkali account set side by side — Mu° against Liv°, Left Chest Only against Right, (6) Left Swt against (6) Right Swt — with the four entries that agree about which direction raises a blood pressure, and the Acid point that belongs to the same account.

The chest and the breath

Both wings of the lungs, one side at a time, and one bar over all

Table 8 — CH. ONLY and LU + SH

Point and variant	What it is used for	When it must not be used	Notes
Ch. Only (the family)	Stimulates both wings of the lungs	Do not give in lung cancer ▲ Take care	One bar covering the whole family.
(2) Ch. Only / (4) Ch. Only	Stimulates the lungs to expel carbon dioxide completely through the breath	(the lung-cancer bar stands)	The therapy's most directly respiratory claim
(8) Ch. Only	Used in the Oxygen, 1,25 DCC and Heparin formulas. Given together with Round arrow (↑\	↓), the two combine to maintain the body's acid–alkali balance	(the lung-cancer bar stands)	A pairing instruction, not merely a use.
Left Chest Only Left	Stimulates the left lung only — reduces the symptoms of acid, and reduces pain at Mu°	(the lung-cancer bar stands)	Left is paired with acid throughout the atlas
Right Chest Only Right	Stimulates the right lung only — reduces the symptoms of alkali, and reduces pain at Liv°	(the lung-cancer bar stands)	Right is paired with alkali throughout the atlas
(6) Lu + Sh	When we press on the shoulder with this treatment, the muscles of the chest open, by which the capacity of the lungs increases. This treatment is taught to the mothers of children who drool saliva from the mouth all day — it reduces that. It also reduces acidity, and watering of the eyes. Also for hiccups, and for hiatus hernia of the upper part of the stomach. When suddenly a great deal of blood is lost from the body, it is used in the Angiotensin #2 formula to raise the blood pressure	This raises blood pressure — so do not give in high blood pressure, and not in heart disease ▲ Take care	The prohibition follows straight from the stated action.

Two things in the Lu + Sh row deserve saying out loud. The first is that this is one of the treatments taught to the mothers — a point given daily at home, by a parent, to a child who drools. Much of what this therapy achieves in children it achieves because somebody was taught to give it on a kitchen floor between meals.

The glands of the throat and the head

Four glands, and more mutual traffic than anywhere else in the atlas

Four points, four glands, and more mutual traffic than anywhere else in the atlas — one is given with another, one is given after another, one is given instead of another.

Table 9 — THRD, THRD 'P', PIT and PARA

Point and variant	What it is used for	When it must not be used	Notes
(2) Thrd	In angina — that is, in heart patients — to reduce cholesterol, (2) Thrd is given in place of (4) Thrd	(governed by the (4) Thrd boxes below)	Not a refusal but a smaller count for a vulnerable patient. The substitution is the instruction.
(4) Thrd	To increase metabolism by means of the T₃ and T₄ hormones of the thyroid, and to raise the temperature of the body. In intellectually disabled children, for the development of the brain — because for one year after birth it is the thyroid gland that brings about the brain's development. For constipation due to hypothyroidism, and for falling asleep while sitting during the day. Oestrogen, progesterone, the gall bladder and the thyroid gland together take care of the skin — so for dandruff, scaling, lice, or hair falling at a young age; for roughness of the skin, or wrinkles. It will release iodine, which helps wounds, mouth ulcers and skin disease heal quickly. For cough, cold and catarrh, or throat problems; and for all problems of the eyes or the ears. Extremely good for diabetes, heart disease and kidney disease, because these diseases come from hypothyroidism. When a bone has broken, then after the wound has filled, giving (4) Thrd will fill calcium into the bone by means of calcitonin, making the bone strong	So do not give in bamboo spine, or spur and the like, because these diseases have come from increased calcium. In asthma the cough increases, so do not give. When the metabolism increases too much there can also be trouble — therefore do not give (4) Thrd to heart patients ▲ Take care	Three bars. Note the timing inside the bone indication: after the wound has filled, not before
(4) Thrd 'P'	Given to stimulate the anterior pituitary so that it will make its hormones — mainly growth hormone. If we give (4) Thrd 'P' + (4) Thrd, then by TSHRH the thyroid gland is stimulated to make iodine, and for the functions of the T₃ and T₄ hormones. If after (4) Thrd 'P' we give (6) Rt. Ov. or (6) Lt. Ov. as required, then by FSH and LH we can correct absence of menses or other disorders of the menses. Through stimulating growth hormone, children with a smaller head will also benefit. And by means of calcitonin, through the osteoblasts, to increase calcium in the bones, and for the repair of ligaments	Therefore, in a disease in which the osteoblasts are hyper — such as bamboo spine, or spur, or where bone has grown unwanted anywhere — do not give ▲ Take care	Two paired instructions live in this row: Thrd 'P' plus Thrd, and Thrd 'P' followed by an ovary point.
(1) Pit / (4) Pit	Given when we wish to stimulate the pituitary gland to make many hormones. Corrects weakness arising from lack of sugar. Good for players who feel fatigue after a few hours. To increase appetite and height. Given to fill water anywhere in the eye, the ear or the brain; and for absence of moisture in the eyes — what is called dry eyes. For the dizziness of vertigo — those who become giddy travelling in tall buildings, in buses or in aeroplanes get relief. Afterwards, giving (4) Up arrow gives complete benefit	Do not give to diabetic patients, because it raises sugar. It raises alkali — so do not give to high blood pressure, cancer and fits patients. Perhaps low blood pressure patients will benefit	The closing hedge is the therapy's own. The follow-on — Pit, then (4) Up arrow — is part of the instruction.
(2) Para	To stimulate the posterior pituitary to make vasopressin, which will stop water going out through the urine. By this, long-standing low blood pressure rises and becomes normal. Given in diabetes insipidus, because in it there is a deficiency of vasopressin	But do not give to high blood pressure patients ▲ Take care	Mechanism and prohibition in one thought
(4) Para	When given within the 1,25 DCC formula, to maintain the amount of calcium in the blood by means of the PTH hormone of the parathyroid gland. For those who get cramps from calcium deficiency, and for women with excessive flow during menstruation. When (4) Para is given separately by itself, it will lift calcium from the bone and put it into the blood — so it is given when bone has grown at some unwanted place anywhere in the body. Also usable in heart disease, to open unwanted clots, especially where the blood calcium is also low. Given to breastfeeding women, it stimulates the posterior pituitary to make oxytocin, so that if milk has recently stopped, milk will begin to come again	Those who have osteoporosis: do not give only (4) Para separately. They must be given the full 1,25 DCC formula ▲ Take care	The most carefully cut prohibition in the atlas. It does not forbid the point. It forbids the point alone, and requires the formula.

Key teaching

What (4) Para alone does, and why the bar is cut where it is cut

Read the two halves of that row together and the rule assembles itself.

Inside the 1,25 DCC formula, (4) Para maintains the calcium in the blood — the parathyroid hormone working with the other points of that formula.

Given separately, by itself, it does something else: it lifts calcium out of the bone and puts it into the blood. That is precisely why it is the point used where bone has grown at some unwanted place.

So for a patient whose bones are already thin, the bar is not never give (4) Para. It is never give (4) Para alone; give the whole formula. The prohibition is aimed at the word separately, and a therapist who reads only the point code and not the word beside it will get this wrong in exactly the patient who can least afford it. ▲ Take care

The points of immunity

Six points, and the longest list of people who must not have them

Six points, and between them the therapy's whole account of resistance to disease. They are also the family with the longest list of people who must not have them, so read the right-hand column first. (Figure 25.4)

Table 10 — THYMUS, THYMUS + CHEST, ARMPIT, LYMPH, TON 'P' and TON 'T'

Point and variant	What it is used for	When it must not be used	Notes
(4) Thymus / (8) Thymus	Given to increase the body's disease-resisting power by stimulating the various lymphocytes of the thymus gland. For Bell's palsy — paralysis of the face — for herpes zoster (shingles, नागिन), for septicaemia, for HIV, for viral fever, and for diseases caused by bacteria. If the adrenal is hyper — as when a person goes into coma from an injection of adrenaline — this can be given to correct it	(the prohibitions are printed jointly with Thymus + Chest and apply here in full)
Thymus + Chest — (2), (4), (8) Th + Ch and so on	It is a painkiller — on being struck, or on a sprain, it ends the sensation of pain. It stimulates the filling of minerals into bones and tissues, so that wounds fill up quickly. It also erases old wounds inside the tissues, and the marks of burns from fire or from electricity. Give if the prostate gland is enlarged. Or for fibroid or cyst in the uterus. Useful to dry up excess water anywhere in the body — such as water or pus continually coming from the ear or the eyes. Used to dry up haemorrhage or haematoma inside the brain. For hearing the sound of bells in the ears without cause. In Ménière's disease, where dizziness comes even on turning over in bed: first give (8) Thymus + Chest, and afterwards give (4) Down arrow	Thymus and Thymus + Chest are not to be given to the following kinds of patients. To pregnant women — after giving this, the babies begin to move about vigorously, from which it may be judged that the baby must be experiencing discomfort; so they are not given during pregnancy. In polio or inflammatory diseases, and in heart disease and diabetes, in rheumatoid arthritis and autoimmune disorder — do not give. Also do not give in kidney diseases, because almost all kidney diseases are autoimmune disorders ▲ Take care	In this, the armpits must also be given, without fail. And the Ménière's instruction is an order of two points, not one.
(12) Armpits	The armpit contains many lymph nodes; this treatment opens the small blockages within them and so stimulates the function of the lymph nodes. For bacterial or viral illness, and for tonsils, sore throat and pain on swallowing. Also useful in children for earache, and for mild cold and cough	Do not give in lymph node cancer, in polio, in diabetes, or in any autoimmune disorder ▲ Take care	When giving Th + Ch, the armpits must also be given.
(1) Lymph / (5) Lymph	Near the waist, in the upper part of the thighs, there are many lymph nodes. By this treatment the small blockages inside them open, and in this way the lymph nodes are stimulated. Given in viral fever, cancer, HIV and the like, to end the infection of virus or bacteria. It raises the disease-resisting power by way of the lymph nodes' B cells, or gamma globulin and other lymphocytes	If there is cancer in the lymph node, do not give ▲ Take care	The same node-cancer bar as Armpit, printed again for the groin.
Ton 'P'	It stimulates the parotid glands beside the cheeks, which will fight any virus or bacteria in the mouth or throat — that is, give it if there is infection. Besides this, in prolapse of the uterus — if the uterus moves from its place — this treatment is unmatched for setting it back in its place	But from this there may perhaps be some adverse effect on conception. Therefore do not give it to women who want children. It is also not proven that it prevents conception — therefore do not call it a contraceptive treatment. Research is to be done. Do not give in diabetes, in rheumatoid arthritis and autoimmune disorder. Also do not give in inflammation ▲ Take care	Counts of 12, 6 and 3.
Ton 'T'	Given for tonsil infection. Also beneficial for trouble in the throat, or soreness of the throat	Do not give in diabetes, in rheumatoid arthritis and autoimmune disorder, and not in inflammation either ▲ Take care	Ton 'T' is followed immediately by Sangam points.

Two instructions in this atlas are written as pairs, and a therapist who gives the first without the second has not given a smaller treatment — he has given an incomplete one.

P point → (6) WD, immediately. With this treatment we give in order to loosen her uterine muscles further. And immediately after giving this treatment, giving (6) WD is necessary; otherwise that woman will have still more trouble.

Key teaching

Two points that must never be separated from what follows them

Ton 'T' → Sangam points, immediately.

Write them on the card as a single line, with no room between them for a telephone call or a change of mind.

A closed door with another door beside it. The five prohibitions that name a substitute, each as a decision row — condition, the point withheld, the point given instead, and the reason — and the four instructions that are written as one line on a card and never as two.

FROM AYURVEDA AND YOGA

अहिंसा — the rule that is placed before the practice

In the eightfold path of yoga, the practices everybody has heard of — the postures, the breathing, the sitting still — come fourth, fifth and sixth. What comes first is a short list of restraints, and at the head of that list stands ahimsa, non-harming. Nothing is to be begun until it is in place.

The arrangement is deliberate and it is an argument: a discipline that can act on a body must first decide what it will not do. Everything after that is technique.

This article is the same arrangement in another form. Nine articles taught the postures of a therapy. This one puts the restraint in front of them — and it is worth noticing that the restraints here cost the practitioner something every time. A prohibition that turns a patient away is ahimsa with a price on it, which is the only kind that means anything.

The points of generation

Two ovary points and WD — and the bar that protects a child's growing

Table 11 — LT. OV., RT. OV. and WD

Point and variant	What it is used for	When it must not be used	Notes
Lt. Ov. Left — TF 'Lt. Ov.', (1) Lt. Ov., (6) Lt. Ov. and so on	Pain in the left lower abdomen, below the navel. For all problems of the left testis or the left ovary. For left-sided hernia; itching or skin disease of the left testis; left-sided hydrocele — swelling of the scrotum; cyst or fibroid in the left ovary. To stimulate oestrogen — in women, to increase the size of the breasts or the waist, and to make the skin soft and supple. In diabetes and other autoimmune disorders, to make the thymus hypo; and it will also correct infertility caused by autoimmune antibodies	Do not give in cancer, because cancer arises from excess oestrogen. Do not give to children who are being treated to increase their height — because oestrogen and progesterone hasten the closure of the epiphyseal line of the long bones, so that the child's growth in height will stop before its time ▲ Take care
Rt. Ov. Right — (1) Rt. Ov., (6) Rt. Ov.	For pain of the right part below the navel. For all problems of the right testis or ovary. For pain of a right-sided hernia, or of the appendix. For itching in the right testis, skin disease, or hydrocele. For cyst or fibroid in the right ovary, to increase the blood supply there. To raise potassium and reduce sodium — high blood pressure will also come down. To stimulate progesterone — if the menses do not come, to bring them. If, because of retention of urine, swelling has remained in the body for 24 hours, this is excellent for reducing the swelling and bringing on urine	Rt. Ov. also makes 20% oestrogen. So do not give in cancer. Do not give to children who are being treated to increase height, because oestrogen and progesterone stimulate the epiphyseal line of the long bones to join early, so that the increase in height will stop before its time ▲ Take care	The growth bar is printed again, in the same words, on the other ovary point. It was not an accident of one page
WD — (1) WD, (3) WD, (6) WD and so on	Given to increase the flow of blood in the uterus in women, and in the prostate gland or genitals in men. Also beneficial for pain or numbness in the lower part of the back, or in the legs. To be given in prolapse of the uterus, in control over urine, in pain in the menses or other kinds of disorder, in infertility and the like. For genetic diseases such as Down syndrome, or club foot, it is given within the New Genes formula. (3) ONS + WD — extremely good for setting the navel	This stimulates the genital organs, so perhaps it will also stimulate oestrogen. Therefore do not give in cancer ▲ Take care	The hedge is inside the prohibition — perhaps — and the bar is drawn anyway, in the restrictive direction. (6) WD is what follows P point immediately.

A CASE FROM PRACTICE

The boy his father brought for two more inches

A composite case, assembled to teach the reasoning rather than taken from one patient's file.

Aniruddh Kale · 12 · school student · Kolhapur · came with short stature — "the shortest in his class" — and a soft swelling at the back of the left thigh

What they came with. The father did the talking. "Everyone in the family is tall. He is not growing. We have two years, three years — after that nothing can be done, they say." The boy said almost nothing, which was itself a finding. There was also, mentioned second and treated by the father as trivial, a soft painless lump the size of a lime at the back of the left thigh, present a year, not growing quickly.

What was observed and palpated. A slight, healthy boy, well below the height expected for his age, with no other sign of ill health. On gentle inward pressure around the navel he was tender at Pan and at Gas 'I'. The thigh lump was soft, freely movable, and not tender.

Which reports mattered. The growth chart the school had kept mattered most of all, because it showed a line that had been running low but steadily and had not fallen away. An old vitamin D report changed nothing. The lump had not been looked at by anybody — and that was the finding that decided the first week: he was sent to have it seen before anything at all was given, and came back with a note calling it a lipoma.

What was chosen, and why. The father, who had done some reading, arrived at the second visit asking for (2) Pan — "for the lump, it ends lumps of fat, it is written". It is written. And it is exactly the point that must not be given to this boy: (2) Pan stops growth hormone. It is not given to children whose height is less, or who are taking treatment from us to increase height. They may be given (4) Pan or (10) Pan. He was given (4) Pan — which is one of the points given in small children to increase appetite and height — with (4) Pit, also for appetite and height, and with (4) Thrd 'P', for growth hormone. The lump was left alone.

Where the first approach did not hold. At six weeks the appetite had changed and the boy was eating like a boy, but the father wanted more and asked whether "the ovary point for the hormone" might be added, having heard of it from a neighbour. He was told, in front of the boy, what is written under both ovary points: oestrogen and progesterone hasten the closure of the epiphyseal line, so that the growth in height stops before its time. That is not a point that may be added to a growth treatment; it is the point most certain to end one.

What went wrong because something was withheld. In the fourth month the boy's mother mentioned, alone and almost in passing, that he had been kept out of the school sports since the previous year "because of the lump" and had stopped eating with the class. Nobody had said this. The treatment was not changed. What changed was that the family was told plainly that a lipoma that has been examined does not stop a boy running, and the school was written to. He grew four centimetres that year, ate at school, and ran.

What this case teaches

The indication list will always offer you something. The prohibition column decides whether you may take it.

A prohibition that names its substitute must be obeyed with the substitute. (2) Pan was refused and (4) Pan was given — not nothing.

A parent who is told the reason will stop looking for the treatment elsewhere. A parent who is only told no will find somebody who says yes.

A lump that nobody has examined is examined before anything is given, however trivial it looks and however much the family wants to talk about something else.

DID YOU KNOW?

The hormone that ends a child's growing

A growing bone does not grow at its ends. It grows at a thin plate of soft cartilage a little inside each end — a living seam that adds new bone to the shaft and moves outward as it goes. When that seam turns to solid bone, growing is over, permanently.

What closes it is oestrogen — and here is the part that surprises people: in boys as well as in girls. It is why girls, who reach that hormone earlier, stop growing earlier; and why a child whose puberty comes very early ends up shorter than they would have been.

So a rule that says do not give an oestrogen-stimulating point to a child who is being treated to grow taller, because it will close the seam early is not a superstition. It is the correct fact, used correctly, to protect a child — and it is written twice, once under each ovary point, in the same words.

The hip pair — the vitamin points

B₁₂ on the left, folic acid on the right, and no prohibition printed

Two points, one on each hip, and between them the therapy's account of the two deficiencies that imitate a dozen diseases. They are also the only entries in the chemical half with no prohibition printed against them — which is a fact worth noticing rather than a licence.

Table 12 — LT. PARKHOO and RT. PARKHOO

Point and variant	What it is used for	When it must not be used	Notes
Lt. Parkhoo Left Side-lying — (2) Lt Parkhoo, (8) Lt Parkhoo and so on	Given to those who have pain at the point in front of or behind the pelvic bone of the left thigh. To remove deficiency of vitamin B₁₂ and niacin — such as feeling fatigue; blackness between the joints of the fingers; numbness of the feet on sitting for a long time; anaemia; mouth ulcers; weaknesses of the nerves; weakness of the ear or the eye; fluttering of the eye. In paralysis, where the patient cannot lift the leg or feels weakness. Extremely useful in diseases of genetic disorder, and in diseases of metabolism	No prohibition is printed for this point	Given lying on the right side, working the left hip
(8) Rt Parkhoo Right Side-lying	Given in the following diseases for the production and absorption of folic acid: spina bifida; motor neuron disorder; muscular dystrophy; paralysis, and so on. For children who have a hole in the heart from birth — ASD, VSD, PDA and so on — it is used within the folic acid formula to correct it. Extremely useful in diseases of genetic disorder, and in diseases of metabolism	No prohibition is printed	Given lying on the left side, working the right hip

An empty right-hand column is not the same as a safe point. It means the therapy names no condition in which this point is harmful — and it names none because this point gives, rather than drives. But the standing rules still hold: a patient who cannot be placed on her side is not placed on her side; a hip that has been fractured or replaced is not loaded; and a numb leg cannot report what your foot is doing to it.

KU — the one point whose counts are seconds

Here the number in the bracket is a duration, not a count of presses

Ku is unlike anything else in the chemical half. Everywhere else a bracketed number counts applications. Here the number is very often a duration, and the entry states its arithmetic before it states a single use. (Figure 25.5)

Key teaching

How Ku is counted {{6s}}

(4) Ku — in this, two count as one. That is: give it eight times, for six seconds each.

For all the rest of the Ku entries, give *equal* — that is, for as many seconds as are written, give it only once.

So (½) Ku – 20 secs is one application, held for twenty seconds. Not twenty presses, not twenty of anything. Read the word secs on the card and the whole meaning of the number changes.

Ku is the only place in the atlas where the therapy says, of its own treatment, that the work is unfinished — research on these is continuing. Keep the sentence. A student who knows which parts of a system are settled and which are still being explored can use both honestly; a student who is told everything with the same confidence cannot use either.

Ku — where the number in the bracket is a clock. Table 13 drawn to scale: (4) Ku as eight six-second blocks, and each (½) Ku hold as one bar of its true length from six seconds to eighty, with what each timing is for and the two people Ku is withheld from.

The line that closes the chemical half

Correct the point at which there is pain — and keep every bar above

The chemical points end not with a summary but with a single sentence, set large across the foot of the page. (Figure 25.6)

Key teaching

The sentence the whole of the chemical half was written to support

Remember — whatever the disease may be, giving the appropriate chemical point to correct the LMNT point at which there is pain will of itself bring relief in the disease.

Read it as an instruction and it is the discipline that runs through every entry above: treat what you can find under your hands, not what you have been told the diagnosis is. That is why almost every row in the tables above begins with a pain — pain to the right of the navel, pain just to the left of the navel, pain at the point in front of the pelvic bone — and not with a disease name.

And the same pages that print it have already told you where it stops: the points withheld in cancer, in kidney failure, in pregnancy, in menstruation, from a growing child; the claims marked with their own question marks; the treatment refused the name of contraceptive until the research is done. Take the sentence as permission to stop asking what is wrong and you have contradicted eighteen pages of the same teaching.

The second half of the atlas is named differently and reads differently. These treatments are called after a place on the body, a movement of the hand, or the person in whom the treatment was first worked out — Back arrow, L5–S1 ghisai, Giriraj, Pradip, Shivaji, Sudhakar, Vasanti. Their entries do not talk about hormones. They talk about tissue that has come down and must be pulled back up, a tendon caught inside a band, a joint that has stiffened, a vertebra out of its place.

That changes what a prohibition means here. A chemical point is withheld because the body is already making too much of something. A physical point is withheld because of what the hand or the foot would be doing to a bone, a belly, a chest or a joint — and so the bars in this half are shorter, harder and more local: not if there is a fracture between L1 and S1; not if there is inflammation in the abdomen; not to heart patients, because pressure falls upon the chest; not to those who pass too much urine.

Read this column first. Every prohibition of the chemical points on one sheet: twenty-one condition cards in four bands, each with the points withheld, the reason in one line, and a green strip naming the substitute where one is written.

The arrows and the strips of the spine

Six treatments along one strip of back: the direction is the treatment

Six treatments that travel the same strip of back in different directions, and one that works the whole column. The direction is the treatment. (Figure 25.7)

Key teaching

A ceiling, and why Down arrow has one

Because its effect can fall on the brain's CSF as well, therefore usually not more than (4) Down arrow are given.

That is one of only a handful of places in the atlas where an upper limit is put on a count, and the reason is printed beside it. Two things follow for a working therapist.

First, obey the limit. A card reading (6) Down arrow is a card to query, not to give.

Second, learn the shape. This is what the treatment reaches; this is why more of it is not better. When you come to write your own notes on a patient — and you should — that is the shape to write them in.

The arrows and the strips of the spine. Table 14 as a reference plate — the Back arrow and Round arrow drawn as they are written on a card, then the seven treatments with their positions, their uses, the ceiling on Down arrow and the two sequencing instructions that live in the Round arrow row.

The low back, the sacrum and the tail bone

Bone that can break and nerves that matter — the bars bite hardest

The largest physical family, and the one where the prohibitions bite hardest, because the hand here is over bone that can break and nerves that matter. Nothing in this family is given over the knee joint itself; The Low Back, "The Low Back", carries that rule with the points it governs, and it governs all of these.

Table 15 — The low back, the sacrum and the tail bone

Point	What it is used for	When it must not be used	Notes
L5–S1 ghisai Prone	Good for sciatica, and for all pains of the back — especially for lumbar spondylosis or spondylitis. It works in three ways: 1. bringing the vertebrae of the back from L1 to S1 into their correct place; 2. relaxing the muscles of both sides of the buttocks; 3. pulling upward and setting right the muscles and nerves on both sides of the vertebrae that have descended	—	The three ways are the three stages of the technique.
(6) L3, 4, 5 Prone	Given to relax both kinds of back muscles from L1 to S1. Ordinarily (6) L3, 4, 5 are given	But if there is a fracture in any bone between L1 and S1, it is not to be given ▲ Take care	The plainest landmark and the plainest bar in the article.
L4 fracture Prone	Given if the L4 vertebra — the mankā — breaks or slips. With this treatment, the nerves of the L4 vertebra, which go to the inner side of the calves of both legs, are pulled — by which slowly that vertebra or disc comes back to its correct place	—	Inner side of the calves. This is the treatment for a fracture, where L3, 4, 5 is the treatment withheld because of one.
L5 fracture Prone	Given if the L5 vertebra or mankā breaks or slips. With this treatment, the nerves of the L5 vertebra, which go to the outer side of the calves of both legs, are pulled — by which slowly that vertebra or disc comes back to its correct place	—	Outer side of the calves. Inner for L4, outer for L5, and that single word is the whole difference
JJ⁺¹ Prone	For pain in the middle part of the back, and for slip disc between L1, L2, L3	Those who have pain in the knee should not be given JJ⁺¹, because they are to be given the Pradip treatment, in which we pull the muscles in the opposite direction. They can be given JJ⁺² ▲ Take care	A bar that also names what may be given instead.
JJ⁺² Prone	For knee pain, low back pain, and slip disc between L4, L5, S1	But if someone has knee pain together with pain in the soles of the feet, then they are to be given BOF treatment, and JJ⁺² is not to be given that day, because the two work in opposite directions. After the sole pain has gone, JJ⁺² can be given ▲ Take care	Not a permanent bar but a same-day one, with the condition for lifting it stated.
(2) S4 – S5 Prone	In it, to stimulate the sacral nerves, we pull the muscles on both sides of the S3–S5 vertebrae from above downward. This relaxes and opens the sphincters of the urinary bladder, of the uterus, and of the anus. This is given to increase urine, by which high blood pressure will also come down. If motions come less, or if the flow in the menses is less, it is also useful for increasing them	It is not to be given to those who pass too much urine ▲ Take care	The point that is given with Gas 'I' where the constipation is severe.
Triangle for piles Prone	This strengthens the muscles of the pelvis, and tightens the sphincters of the urinary bladder, of the uterus, of the anal opening and so on. Therefore it is useful in piles; fistula; anal fissure; and prolapse of the rectum — the rectum coming out through the anus. Give it for those children who pass urine in the bed	Do not give it to those who pass little urine ▲ Take care	Read this row against S4–S5 above: one opens the sphincters, the other tightens them.
Tail bone pain Prone	Given to remove the pain from an injury at the last end of the bone of the spine — that is, the tail bone. This pain often happens when someone slips on the stairs, or sits down with a thud, and the tail bone is injured	—

Key teaching

Two sphincter treatments that face opposite ways

(2) S4 – S5 relaxes and opens the sphincters of the bladder, the uterus and the anus. It is given to increase urine, and it is not given to those who pass too much urine.

Triangle for piles tightens those same sphincters. It is given for piles, fistula, fissure and prolapse of the rectum, and for the child who wets the bed — and it is not given to those who pass little urine.

Two points, one region, opposite actions, opposite bars — and the two bars between them cover the whole range of a patient's water. Learn them as a pair and you will never give the wrong one: ask how much urine is coming before you touch the sacrum. ▲ Take care

A MISTAKE STUDENTS MAKE

Reading the point and not the sentence around it

A card reads L3, 4, 5. The therapist knows the point — the plainest landmark in the low back — and gives it. The patient is a woman of seventy-one who came about back pain after a fall six weeks ago, and no one has asked what the fall did.

The prohibition is one short line: if there is a fracture in any bone between L1 and S1, it is not to be given. It is not hidden. It is not subtle. It is simply in a place the therapist did not look, because he was looking up a technique rather than reading an entry.

The habit that prevents this is mechanical and takes four seconds. Before the foot goes down: read the whole row, left to right, including the last column. Point, use, bar, note. Every time, for every point, until the day you stop noticing that you are doing it.

The knee and the lower limb

Tissue pulled back to its place, and a numb leg that cannot report

Table 16 — The knee, the calf, the foot and the vessels of the leg

Point	What it is used for	When it must not be used	Notes
Giriraj Supine	Given for knee pain. Those muscles that have descended from the waist down into the thigh and the inside of the knee are pulled upward; and those muscles that have climbed up from the calves or the heel are brought downward	—	Two directions in one treatment: down-from-above is pulled up, up-from-below is pushed down.
Knee cap free	Given for knee pain. In it we relax the following muscles: the muscles behind the knee; the thigh muscles above the knee; the muscles around the bone below the knee; the muscles around the kaṭorī — the knee cap; and the muscles inside the kaṭorī	—	Five groups of muscle, named in order.
Pradip trt.	Given for knee pain. In it we pull the muscles and nerves of both sides of the knee away from the kaṭorī, and bring them to their correct place, from which the patient gets immediate relief	—	The treatment named in the JJ⁺¹ bar: a knee patient is given Pradip, in which the pull runs in the opposite direction. Its full staged sequence — the pillow, the jerk, the walks and the stand — is taught in Knee, Leg, Foot
J groin Supine	With this treatment we pull upward the tissue on the inner side of the knee that has descended, and bring it back to its own place. After all the other knee treatments, if a little pain remains on the inner side of the kaṭorī, this treatment is given to remove it	—	A finishing point, not an opening one. Given supine only.
J back Prone	With this treatment we pull upward the tissue on the outer side of the knee that has descended, and bring it back to its own place. After all the other knee treatments, if a little pain remains on the outer side of the kaṭorī, this treatment is given to remove it	—	The mirror of J groin: inner side, supine; outer side, face down.
BOF — Bottom of Feet	Above the heel, at the back, there is something like a band, through which pass the blood vessels of the feet and toes, the nerves that control movement, and the tendons — the ropes that keep the bones in their place — all of which come down from the knee or the waist and reach the feet. On striking something, or when we bend to lift a heavy weight, or make some sudden movement, many tendons and nerves and blood vessels are pulled and slip down quickly; afterwards not all of them are able to go back, and some get caught inside that band, from which there is very severe pain in the heel, or around the toe concerned. With this treatment we press those tendons caught inside the heel from below upwards and pull them, bringing them to their correct place, from which the patient gets immediate relief. Excellent for numbness, pain, burning or any kind of trouble from the toes, soles and heel up to the calves	(see the note on sides)	Ordinarily it is not given on the upper side. It is given only on the three sides of the calves. But if there is a sprain, then it is to be given on the upper side too — for which we write on the card BOF – all four sides. And JJ⁺² is not given the same day as BOF for sole pain.
Blood supply to legs — for polio	Given to increase blood circulation in the arteries of the legs of polio patients. Give where there is numbness in the legs, or in the front or the back of the thighs. Some paralysis patients also get relief from it. Usually given thirty times on both legs	—	Thirty times, both legs Both sides .
Blood supply to sides	For those who have numbness in the side portion of the thighs, this treatment increases the flow of blood in that part and ends the numbness	—	Its own entry, and its own region — the side of the thigh, not the front or back. Method:
Hydrocele point	Given for hydrocele — that is, swelling in the scrotum — and in inguinal hernia. Pressing at the appropriate part of the calf, where there is intense pain, increases the flow of blood in the testis of that side and the patient gets relief	—	A scrotal complaint found and treated in the calf.
Vasanti	This is given to increase the circulation of blood in the veins. In diabetes, or in tarsal tunnel syndrome, when the feet go numb, give it from the heel towards the thigh. In carpal tunnel syndrome, when there is very severe pain, burning and numbness in the hands, give the treatment from the fingers towards the shoulder	—	The direction is the whole instruction, and it differs between the two conditions: heel → thigh for the foot, fingers → shoulder for the hand.

DID YOU KNOW?

The band above the heel is real, and it is crowded

Feel just behind and below the bony knob on the inner side of your ankle. Under your finger, stretched between that knob and the heel bone, is a strap of tough tissue — a band the width of two fingers.

Underneath it, packed together in a single tunnel, run the tendons that curl the toes, the artery that feeds the sole, and the nerve that gives the whole underside of the foot its feeling. Everything that reaches the sole passes through that one gate.

Which is exactly what the BOF entry describes — the blood vessels of the feet and toes, and the nerves that control movement, and the tendons, all of these come down from the knee or the waist and reach the feet — and why a treatment aimed at that band claims to reach the toes, the sole, the heel and the calves at once.

The neck, the shoulder and the arm

Light hands at the front of the neck, and a fence never crossed

Table 17 — The neck, the shoulder blade and the arm

Point	What it is used for	When it must not be used	Notes
Neck ghisai Seated	Beneficial for pain of the neck, head, shoulders, fingers and arms. To be given in cervical spondylitis or spondylosis. In it we relax the muscles all around the neck, in this order: first, with light hands, the muscles at the front of the neck and the muscles at the back; then the muscles of the right and left sides of the neck; then, giving a necklace-like treatment, if anything in the bundle of nerves that emerges from below the bone of the forehead has moved out of place, we bring them back to their place; finally, we also relax the muscles attached to the shoulder blade	(the anterior-neck rule governs it absolutely) ▲ Take care	Four stages, in order, and the first is given with light hands.
Necklace Seated	To reduce pain in the head, the neck, or the whole body. For those who have pains in half the body, excluding the forehead. To bring urine under control, and to correct the habit of passing urine in bed. Given in paralysis to reduce pain, and to relax the body	(the anterior-neck rule governs it) ▲ Take care
Raman trt. Seated — (3) Raman × 3 treatments; (6) Raman × 6 treatments	To cure pain in the neck, shoulders or knees, or all the pains of the body. If the shoulder has moved from its place, with this treatment it will come back to its old place. Excellent for problems of the uterus; if the testes are not in their correct place; and for the big diseases that arise from problems of the pleura of the lungs, or the pericardium, or the peritoneum	—	Two counts, each with its own number of treatments.
Subclavian trt. Seated	Inside the subclavian junction of the thoracic duct, situated on the left side of the throat or neck, the contents of many lymph nodes of the body arrive. So by stimulating it, the movement of the lymphocytes increases, from which their function improves. This is a very powerful pain-killing treatment, by which pain anywhere in the body comes to an end	(the anterior-neck rule governs it) ▲ Take care	Press onto bone, never deep into the hollow.
Thoracic T1/T2 Seated	This provokes the lymph nodes. If there is pain in any part of the body, this puts an end to it	—	The station at the two beads below C7.
Electrical waves Supine	This relaxes the muscles of the neck. It has been found excellent for asthma or breathing difficulties. Formerly it was given in fits. But now several other good treatments have come for fits — therefore it is not given	—	A treatment retired from one of its uses, with the reason given: better ones came.
Stretch — (6) ← → Supine	Pressing on the tips of the fingers, they are pulled outward, because of which it relaxes the muscles of the neck. It gives tremendous relief in breathing troubles. Therefore it is used in asthma, in bronchitis, and in the Oxygen formula	—	It is not necessary to give both sides at the same time. If the left side is given first and the right side afterwards, the result has been found just as good.
Shivaji trt. Seated	Given to the patient who cannot raise the arm properly because of pain in the shoulder — the shoulder has become stiff, which is called frozen shoulder. With this treatment, by pressing again and again, we relax the muscles all around the shoulder, from which the blood circulation in them increases and flexibility comes, and the patient begins to get relief	—
Shoulder blade lower Prone	Those who have pain anywhere behind the chest, in the middle part of the back, below the bone of the shoulder — with this treatment that pain goes out	—	Given with the palms, elbows bent, palms facing the sky.
Shoulder blade upper Prone	Those who have pain anywhere in the back between the shoulder and the vertebra of the neck — with this treatment the muscles of that part relax and they get relief	—	Given with the feet, elbows bent, palms facing the ground, arms raised. After these two treatments, giving BAFA will be of great benefit in cervical problems.
Tennis elbow	Given to take out the pain of the elbow joint. Sometimes the pain is so great that they cannot even lift a spoon. Give until the pain goes out	—	The count is the pain, not a number.

Three of those entries deserve a second look, because each teaches something about how this therapy handles its own history.

Electrical waves was withdrawn from one of its uses — formerly it was given in fits; but now several other good treatments have come for fits, therefore it is not given. Not because it failed. Because something better arrived. That is a therapy keeping a ledger.

Stretch says the two sides need not be simultaneous — if the left side is given first and the right afterwards, the result has been found just as good. A sentence written by somebody who tested it, for the benefit of a therapist working alone.

Tennis elbow and T8 set their counts by the patient — give until the pain goes out. Where the atlas can name a number it names one; where it cannot, it says so rather than inventing one.

TAKE CARE

The front of the neck is the one region this therapy never works

Neck ghisai, Necklace, Subclavian and Vocal ghisai all bring the hands close to the front of the throat, and the rule that governs them was set in The Front of the Body II and repeated at the head of Seated I — Brain, Medulla, Neck: glide, never thrust; no rotation, no traction, no leverage; and the front border of the big strap muscle of the neck is the fence you do not cross.

The first stage of Neck ghisai is the one that catches students, because it does begin at the front — and the instruction carries its own answer: with light hands.

And the session ends, with nothing given, for any of these: a first-ever headache of sudden onset; new or unusual neck pain with headache; any new disturbance of vision, speech or balance; a hot, swollen or tender neck; a lump in the neck.

The head and the face

Hammering, speech, ear, eye and teeth — and the side crosses

Table 18 — The head, the face, the ear and the eye

Point	What it is used for	When it must not be used	Notes
Bell's palsy Seated	For a person whose mouth is twisted to one side, which is called facial paralysis. They cannot smile properly, or cannot close the eye fully. They benefit greatly from this treatment	—
Hammering Seated	To increase the circulation of blood inside the brain, a towel is placed on the head and it is struck lightly with a special kind of soft hammer. For paralysis patients, this treatment is given on the left side of the head for speech. And those who have difficulty in moving the left hand or leg are treated on the right side of the head	—	The side crosses. Left side of the head for speech; right side of the head for a left-sided limb.
Speech point — hammering for speech Seated	Given to increase the circulation of blood inside the brain above the left temple of the forehead. In paralysis, for those who have trouble with speech — that is, who cannot speak clearly or distinctly — it is given to stimulate Broca's area for speech. Broca's area is that part of the brain that controls speech, that is, pronunciation	—
Ear points Seated	Given for reduced hearing, deafness and all problems of the ear. It stimulates the nerves around the ear and increases the capacity to hear	—
Lacrimal point Supine	This is useful for opening the tear ducts if any dirt collects in them. Excellent for all diseases of the eyes. Give especially for glaucoma, for boils in the eyes, for debris, or for continuous watering of the eyes for no reason, and so on	—
Teeth point Seated	Given to increase the circulation of blood in the teeth or the jaws, from which the pain in them comes to an end	—	Before this, the appropriate heparin treatment according to the patient's body is to be given. A point with a prerequisite, not merely a use.
Vocal ghisai Seated	This is given to relax the muscles of the voice box. For a bad throat, or hoarseness in the throat causing difficulty in speaking, or for those whose voice does not come out at all, it is excellent	(the anterior-neck rule governs it) ▲ Take care
Dorsal Seated	This is mostly given in MS, MND and other such brain diseases. Research on this is still going on	—	The second of the two places in this article where the work is openly marked unfinished.

Teeth point is the only entry in the physical half with a prerequisite. Before this, the appropriate heparin treatment according to the patient's body is to be given. Not a heparin treatment — the appropriate one, according to the patient's body, which is a whole family of formulas and a choice to be made. A card that reads Teeth point alone is a card missing a line.

The chest and the trunk

Where the weight lands decides the bar, not what the point makes

Table 19 — The chest, the abdomen and the trunk

Point	What it is used for	When it must not be used	Notes
Loveleen Supine	Excellent for the chest pain that comes from poor digestion and similar causes	But pressure falls upon the chest — therefore it is not to be given to heart-disease patients ▲ Take care	The reason is mechanical, not chemical: it is about where the weight lands.
Sulta Ulta Supine	Sulta* will take out the pain at the front of the chest. Ulta* will take out the pain of the back behind the chest. For those who have angina or heart disease, keeping both arms extended — not parallel to the shoulders but a little upward, at 135° — and giving it, the pain of the chest, or the suffocation that is felt in it, will end	—	It is not necessary to give both sides at the same time. Give the left side first and the right afterwards Left Right . The angle and the order are the instruction.
T 8 Seated Supine	Given for diseases of the kidney, the pancreas, or the adrenal gland, and for cataract, weakness of the eyes, and in diabetes	Give until the pain goes out — but comfortably ▲ Take care	The limit is the entry: comfortably is the ceiling, and the pressure should not be so much that the pain increases further.
Folded legs Supine	This sets the abdomen. Excellent for pains below the navel	But if there is inflammation in the abdomen, do not give ▲ Take care
Motor neuron point Prone	If there is pain or numbness in half the body from the head down to the foot, this gives immediate relief. Some patients will say that they also feel as if some insect is moving under their skin, which starts from the head in half the body and finishes in the sole of the foot — and this goes on all day long. Ordinarily it is given five times	(the shared note of Katka and Motor neuron point governs it) ▲ Take care	Four pillows — three under the chest and one under the chin — a three-finger gap checked with the hand near the prominence of the throat, and only a mild jerk.

Key teaching

Sulta Ulta in angina — the angle and the order are the treatment

This is one of the places where a student's instinct says surely not in a heart patient and the entry answers the instinct with detail rather than with reassurance.

It is given in angina. And it is given like this: both arms extended — not parallel to the shoulders, but a little upward, at 135°. And: not both sides at the same time. The left side first, and the right afterwards.

The angle and the order are not refinements laid on top of the treatment. They are the treatment. Given at 135° and one side at a time, it is the entry above. Given flat, and both sides together, it is something else that has not been taught.

And beside it, in the same patient, the other cardiac instruction of this article: in angina — that is, in heart patients — to reduce cholesterol, (2) Thrd is given in place of (4) Thrd. Each rule is complete where it stands.

The navel, the womb and the paralysed limb

Setting the navel; and the prolapse point never written alone

Table 20 — The navel-setting points, the prolapse point and the limb points

Point	What it is used for	When it must not be used	Notes
(3) ONS Supine	This treatment is given to correct disturbances of the navel, and to bring the navel back to its correct place if it slips	—	(3) ONS + WD is extremely good for setting the navel.
TF / NNS Supine	These two treatments together set all the organs of the navel. The number according to need	—	The standard closing pair after abdominal work.
'P' point — the prolapse point	This is given to those women in whom sonography shows that a prolapse of the uterus has occurred — that is, her uterus has moved from its place. With this treatment we give in order to loosen her uterine muscles further	And immediately after giving this treatment, giving (6) WD is necessary; otherwise that woman will have still more trouble ▲ Take care	Some of the chief symptoms of prolapse of the uterus are: severe pain below the navel and in the back, white discharge, irregular menstruation, and infertility because of the low temperature of the body. The heel on the middle of the thigh, an upward jerk, left thigh first.
Shukla	Given to make the muscles of a limb — hand or foot — that has been paralysed, loose and flexible	For osteoporosis patients this treatment may perhaps increase the pain — so do not give them this treatment ▲ Take care	The wrist and the ankle, four ways each.

TAKE CARE

P point is written on the card with its partner, on the same line

The entry is unusual in that it says what the treatment does and then says that the doing is not finished. With this treatment we give in order to loosen her uterine muscles further. And immediately after giving this treatment, giving (6) WD is necessary; otherwise that woman will have still more trouble.

A muscle deliberately loosened and then left loose is worse than the muscle you started with. That is the plain sense of still more trouble, and it is why the word in the instruction is immediately.

Three practical consequences. Write them as one line on the card, P point → (6) WD, never as two. Do not begin P point at the end of a session when you are being hurried. And it is given only where sonography has shown the prolapse — the entry says so in its first clause, and that clause is part of the instruction.

The exclusions that are same-session, not permanent

Not never — not today, and not with that. Three pairs, and only three

Some of the bars in this article do not say never. They say not today, or not with that. They are the hardest kind to remember, because the point is not forbidden to the patient — it is forbidden in that company, and next week it may be exactly what is wanted. (Figure 25.8)

Table 21 — Treatments that are not given together, and why

If this is indicated	Withhold	The reason as given
Pradip treatment (knee pain)	JJ⁺¹	In Pradip we pull the muscles in the opposite direction. They can be given JJ⁺²
BOF for sole pain, the same day	JJ⁺²	The two work in opposite directions. After the sole pain has gone, JJ⁺² can be given
Fracture in any bone between L1 and S1	L3, 4, 5	Fracture
Inflammation in the abdomen	Folded legs	Inflammation
Heart disease	Loveleen	Pressure falls upon the chest
Passing too much urine	(2) S4 – S5	The treatment increases urine
Passing little urine	Triangle for piles, and Gal	The Triangle tightens the sphincters; and for Gal, this is a matter of experience

And three pairings that run the other way — given together, never apart.

Give this	And with it, always	The reason as given
Th + Ch	Armpits, without fail	Printed as a standing instruction above the entry
Gas Only in constipation, piles or fistula	Gas 'I' — and (2) S4, S5 too if the constipation is severe	Gas Only stops loose motions; Gas 'I' increases small intestinal motility
P point	(6) WD, immediately	Otherwise that woman will have still more trouble
Ton 'T'	Sangam points, immediately

Not on the same day. The same-session exclusions in one picture — three pairs that pull against each other, joined by a crossed double arrow, and one pair joined by a plus because those two are given together — with the three mechanical bars of the physical half beneath.

One disease, several points, one plan

Four polio entries doing four different jobs in one disease

Students meet polio in four separate entries of this article and are sometimes puzzled by it. They should not be. Read the four together and what appears is not a disagreement but a treatment plan for one disease, written across four points that do four different jobs.

Key teaching

How the polio entries fit together

(6) Adr is given for polio — because polio is an inflammatory disease, and (6) Adr is the point that ends inflammation, given for any disease whose name ends in -itis. Its own caution stands with it: it reduces immunity, so it is not given where immunity is already low — in septicaemia, in HIV, in cancer.

Blood supply to legs is given for polio — for the leg weakness, the numbness in the legs and the front or the back of the thighs, usually thirty times on both legs. That is the limb, not the inflammation.

The Armpit point and the Thymus and Thymus + Chest group are withheld in polio — they carry their own bar, printed with them, alongside diabetes and the autoimmune disorders.

And Spl carries an open question: to be tried on polio patients, to see whether they benefit from it? — printed as a question, and to be read as one.

Four points. One inflammation to end, one weak limb to supply, one group held back, one question still open. That is a plan, and it is how the whole of this article is meant to be read: not point against point, but each point doing its own work in its own condition, with its own qualifying detail attached.

FROM AYURVEDA AND YOGA

The old idea that two right things can be wrong together

Classical Indian medicine has a word for food combinations that are harmless apart and harmful together — viruddha, "contrary". Milk with fish, curd heated, honey warmed, cold water on hot ghee. None of the items is a poison. The objection is to the pairing, and to the moment.

It is an unfashionable idea until you meet it in your own hands. BOF is a good treatment. JJ⁺² is a good treatment. On the same day, in a patient with knee pain and sole pain, they undo one another — because they pull in opposite directions, and the entry says so and says when the bar lifts.

The old physicians would have recognised the whole of Table 21 at once. What they would have envied is the last column: the reason, written down beside the rule.

Two cases from the reference

A card refused for the child she wants, and a card that got shorter

A CASE FROM PRACTICE

The woman who was told her womb had slipped, and wanted a child

A composite case, assembled from several patients seen over one season at a district centre.

Sunita Barman · 29 · anganwadi worker · Cooch Behar · came with a sonography report reading "second-degree uterine prolapse", eight months after her second delivery

What she came with. She had the report in a plastic folder and had clearly read it many times. "They have said the bag has come down. There is pain here" — below the navel — "and in the back, all day. White discharge. And the dates are all wrong now, sometimes twenty days, sometimes forty." Then, at the door, half turned away: "We want one more child. They are saying operation."

What was observed and palpated. A young woman carrying a heavy load daily; a soft abdomen; the low back tender across the sacrum. On gentle inward pressure around the navel she was tender at Mu° and at Const, and not at Liv°. She had been constipated since the second delivery and had not connected the two. She was cold-handed and said she felt cold when nobody else did.

Which reports mattered. The sonography mattered, and mattered specifically, because P point is given to those women in whom sonography shows that a prolapse of the uterus has occurred — the imaging is written into the indication itself. Her haemoglobin mattered, because she was pale and had been bleeding irregularly. An old thyroid report from before her first pregnancy changed nothing; it was repeated.

The choice, and why it was made the way it was made. Her symptoms were the classical set printed with P point itself — severe pain below the navel and in the back, white discharge, irregular menstruation, and infertility because of the low temperature of the body. And there is a treatment in this atlas described as unmatched for setting a prolapsed uterus back in its place: Ton 'P'.

It was not given, and she was told why, in full and in the order it is written: from this there may perhaps be some adverse effect on conception; therefore it is not given to women who want children. It is also not proven that it prevents conception — so nobody may call it a contraceptive treatment. The research is still to be done. She asked the obvious question — "so is it safe or not?" — and got the honest answer: we do not know, and because you have told me you want a child, I am not going to find out on you.

What was given instead. P point, with the sonography in hand and the heel on the middle of the thigh, left thigh first — and, written on the same line of the card so that it could not be forgotten, (6) WD immediately afterwards. Triangle for piles, which strengthens the muscles of the pelvis and tightens the sphincters of the bladder, the uterus and the anal opening. (1) Acid for the symptoms of acidity — the piles and the constipation and the descent from its place — the tenderness at Mu° being present, as that point requires. Raman, which is excellent for problems of the uterus. And the digestive work for the constipation, because a woman straining daily is undoing the pelvic work every morning.

Session by session. In the first fortnight the back pain settled and the bowel changed, which she reported as the main event; the discharge took six weeks. At ten weeks her cycle came at twenty-nine days for the first time since the delivery. The prolapse itself was reassessed by the doctor who had made the report, not by the therapist.

What went wrong because something was withheld. In the fifth week she stopped improving. Asked not "has anything changed?" but "what do you lift, and how many times a day?", it came out that she had gone back to carrying a full water pot up an outside stair four times each morning, having felt better. Nothing on the card changed. The stair did.

What this case teaches

The best treatment for a condition is not always the treatment for this patient, and the reason may be one line long. Ton 'P' is unmatched for prolapse and it was refused, because she wants a child.

Give a patient all three parts of that instruction — the withholding, the refusal to claim, and the open question. A woman told only no goes looking elsewhere for a yes.

P point and (6) WD are one line on a card. A muscle deliberately loosened and left loose is worse than the one you began with.

The indication itself may name the evidence it requires. Here it named the sonography, and that clause is part of the instruction.

Twenty-three and a half hours belong to the patient. Ask what she carries.

A CASE FROM PRACTICE

The man whose card kept getting shorter

A composite case, written to teach the habit of reading the last column first.

Ishwar Prasad Meena · 58 · bus depot supervisor · Kota · came with knee pain and "sugar, BP, everything"

What he came with. "Both knees. Stairs are finished for me. And sugar for twelve years, BP for six, and the chest gets tight in the cold." He produced a carrier bag of medicine strips rather than reports, which is its own kind of history.

What was observed and palpated. A heavy man, breathing shallowly, thigh muscle hard. Tender at Pan, at Const, and on the right at Liv°, not at Mu°. Both knees crepitant, neither hot. The feet were the finding that mattered most and that he had not mentioned: he could not feel a light touch on either sole, and there was a thickened, painless callus under the right great toe.

Which reports mattered. His HbA1c mattered; his kidney function mattered, after twelve years; his inhaler mattered more than any paper, once it was found in the bag. A knee X-ray from four years earlier changed nothing at all.

How the card was built — the last column first. A student watching was asked to write the card from the indication lists alone, and wrote a long one: Gal for the skin; (4) Thrd for the sluggishness and the cold; Armpit for the winter cough; (10) Pan for the joint pain of many years, where the relief is immediate; Lu + Sh for the chest; Spl for the constipation and the left chest.

Then the right-hand column was read across the same six entries, out loud.

Gal — in asthma this point increases the trouble, so do not give it. Off.

(4) Thrd — in asthma the cough increases, so do not give. Off.

Armpit — do not give in lymph node cancer, polio, diabetes, or any autoimmune disorder. Off.

Lu + Sh — this raises blood pressure, so do not give in high blood pressure and in heart disease. Off.

Spl — in cold, allergy, asthma and the like this does harm, so do not give it to asthma patients, and it is not given in diabetes or other autoimmune disorders. Off, twice over.

(10) Pan — stays. It stimulates insulin; it is given to diabetic patients to maintain the sugar level; and for joint pain of many years' standing the relief is immediate.

Six lines became one, and the student's face fell. That is the correct reaction and it is also the wrong conclusion.

What was actually given. (10) Pan. (1) Const and the digestive work for the bowel, the tenderness being present. (1) Liv° for the right kidney and the raised pressure, the tenderness being on the right — and not Mu°, because those who have pain only at Liv°, do not give it to them. Stretch for the breathing, which is used in asthma and bronchitis, the left side first and the right afterwards. Knee cap free and Giriraj for the knees. And nothing whatever on the feet — the leg was worked and the sole was left alone, and the callus went to the diabetic foot clinic the same week.

What was done when the first approach did not hold. At three weeks the knees were better and the sugar readings were worse, and he admitted he had halved one tablet on his own "because you people say no medicines". He was told what every patient is told: we give no medicine, and we do not tell you to stop yours. He restarted it that evening and went back to his physician with his diary at three months.

What this case teaches

A short card is not a poor card. Six indications matched this man; five of them were barred by one line each, and the one that remained was the one that fitted him rather than his diagnosis list.

The bars come from different conditions in the same man — asthma took two points, diabetes took three, blood pressure took one. Read the whole patient before you read the atlas.

A laterality rule is a rule. Pain only at Liv° closed Mu°, and that is the atlas refusing to let the therapist treat a side he has not found.

The most important finding of the visit was a foot he did not mention, in a man who could not feel it.

WHAT TO CARRY AWAY

This article is read right column first. The indication list will always offer you something; only the prohibition column can stop you harming somebody. Point, bar, use, note — in that order, every time.

The number in the bracket is a selector, not a dose. (2) Adr, (4) Adr and (6) Adr are three treatments with three different targets and three different bars, and a prohibition attached to one does not travel to the others. The same is true of every count of Pan, of Swt, of Thrd, of Ku.

A prohibition that names a substitute is obeyed with the substitute. (4) Down arrow in place of Mu. (4) Pan or (10) Pan in place of (2) Pan for a child being treated for height. (2) Thrd in place of (4) Thrd in heart patients. Gas 'I' alongside Gas Only in constipation, piles or fistula — and (2) S4, S5 too if the constipation is severe. The full 1,25 DCC formula in place of (4) Para given alone in osteoporosis.

Two instructions are single lines and never two. P point → (6) WD, immediately — otherwise that woman will have still more trouble. Ton 'T' → Sangam points, immediately. And Th + Ch is never given without the armpits.

(2) Pan is given for exactly six seconds. Hold it longer and it acts like (4) Pan, which is harmful in cancer. The atlas attaches its worst consequence to its laziest habit.

The therapy withholds points to protect a child's growth, twice, for two different reasons — (2) Pan because it stops growth hormone, Lt. Ov. and Rt. Ov. because oestrogen and progesterone close the epiphyseal line of the long bones before their time.

(4) Para is not forbidden in osteoporosis; (4) Para alone is. Given separately by itself it lifts calcium out of the bone and into the blood — which is exactly why it is the point for bone grown at an unwanted place.

Left and right are two treatments, not two sides. (6) Left Swt opens and is refused to a diabetic; (6) Right Swt closes and is refused to a hypertensive. Liv° reduces alkali and corrects high blood pressure; Mu° reduces acid and corrects low blood pressure — and Mu° is not given to a patient whose pain is only at Liv°.

Some bars are same-session, not permanent. No JJ⁺¹ for a knee patient, who gets Pradip instead, in which the muscles are pulled in the opposite direction — but JJ⁺² may be given. No JJ⁺² on the day BOF is given for sole pain, because the two work in opposite directions; after the sole pain has gone, JJ⁺² can be given.

Ton 'P' is not given to women who want children, and it is not to be called a contraceptive treatment, because that is not proven. Both halves are said to the patient. The research is still to be done.

Dys carries three brakes — give only if there is pain in the upper part to the right of the navel, for no more than a day or two, and only after great thought, because it works against the natural motion of the intestines.

Physical points are withheld for mechanical reasons. No L3, 4, 5 if there is a fracture anywhere between L1 and S1. No Folded legs if there is inflammation in the abdomen. No Loveleen to a heart patient, because pressure falls upon the chest. No (2) S4–S5 to somebody passing too much urine; no Triangle for piles to somebody passing little.

Where the therapy does not know, it says so — the question marks under (10) Pan, research is continuing under the long Ku holds, research is still going on under Dorsal, to be tried on polio patients, to see whether they benefit from it? under Spl, and nowadays twice, marking a rule that changed.

And the closing line of the chemical half is an instruction, not a licence: whatever the disease may be, giving the appropriate chemical point to correct the point at which there is pain will of itself bring relief. Treat what you find under your hands — and keep every bar above.

Questions students ask

1. I am nineteen and in my first year. Do I have to learn all of this by heart? No — you have to learn where to look, and then look, every time, until your hand knows it. What you must hold in memory cold is the short list that changes a session: the points withheld in pregnancy, in menstruation, in diabetes, in cancer, in high and low blood pressure, in fits and from a growing child; the four paired instructions; and the six-second rule at (2) Pan. Everything else is a table, and a table is meant to be opened in front of the patient. A therapist who checks in the patient's presence looks careful. A therapist who guesses looks confident and is neither.

2. I am a housewife learning this to treat my mother. She has osteoporosis. Is half the article closed to her? Less than you fear, and the closures are precise rather than sweeping. Shukla is not given — for osteoporosis patients this treatment may perhaps increase the pain, so do not give them this treatment. (4) Para is not given alone; the full 1,25 DCC formula is given instead, and that is the important distinction. (4) Thrd is not given where a bone has grown at an unwanted place — spur, bamboo spine — and the bone indication for (4) Thrd is written for after the wound has filled in a break that is healing. Ask which of those describe your mother. See also → Correcting the Two Kingdoms, "Correcting the Two Kingdoms".

3. I am a physician. Some of the mechanisms here I would not write in a chart. What exactly am I being asked to accept? Two separate things, and they deserve separate pockets. The rules — this count, this side, this angle, this order, this ceiling, this bar — are a protocol, and a protocol is either followed or not. The explanations attached to them are the account the therapy gives of why the rule exists, and several of them are good physiology stated correctly: oestrogen closing the epiphyseal plate, parathyroid hormone mobilising bone calcium, alkalosis lowering the seizure threshold, the split between the two catecholamines down to the diastolic pressure. You may use the rules and hold the explanations lightly. What you may not do is discard a rule because you dislike its explanation.

4. I work in a village and I have no laboratory. Half these bars name a diagnosis I cannot make. Most of them name something you can ask about or see. Does she have periods now, and is she having one today? Is she pregnant, or might she be? Is there sugar? Is there pressure? Does he wheeze in the cold? How much urine is coming? Is there loose motion or constipation today? Has any bone been broken? That is eight questions and it closes most of this article's doors correctly. For the rest — a lump, a fever with rigors, blood where blood should not be — your skill is not the test; it is knowing where to send. See also → The History That Cannot Mislead You, "The History That Cannot Mislead You".

5. Why does Gal help skin disease in one row and harm an asthmatic in the next? Which is true? Both, and they are not about the same person. The middle column tells you what the point does and whom it helps; the right column tells you in whom that same doing is harmful. Gal is excellent in skin disease with constipation, where the benefit is great — and in asthma this point increases the trouble, so it is not given. A patient with psoriasis gets it. A patient with psoriasis and asthma does not. The point did not change; the patient did.

6. I am sixty-six and came to this late. The counts confuse me — (4) Ku is eight, and (½) Ku – 20 secs is one. How do I keep it straight? By reading the word after the number before you read the number. If the card says secs, it is a duration and the point is given once, held for that many seconds. If it says nothing, it is applications. And (4) Ku is the one exception announced in its own entry: two count as one — give it eight times, for six seconds each. Say the whole line aloud from the card before you touch the patient. Everybody does this; the ones who stop doing it are the ones who make the mistake.

7. A card came to me reading only P. What do I do? Send it back and ask which was meant. Three entries in this atlas hang a capital P off a shared stem and none of them is the others: P point, the prolapse point, which must be followed immediately by (6) WD; Thrd 'P', a point of the anterior pituitary with its own bar in bamboo spine and spur; and Ton 'P', the parotid version of Ton, not given to women who want children. A letter is not a prescription. See also → Uncommon Problems, "Points for Uncommon Problems".

8. If (6) Adr is given for polio and the Armpit point is withheld in polio, how am I supposed to treat a polio patient? By giving each point the job it is written for. (6) Adr addresses the inflammation, polio being an inflammatory disease — with its own caution travelling beside it, that it reduces immunity and is therefore not given where immunity is already low. Blood supply to legs addresses the weak leg, thirty times on both legs. The Armpit point and the Thymus group are held back, carrying their own bar. And Spl carries an open question. That is four points doing four different things in one disease. It is a treatment plan.

9. My teacher says a short card is a good card. My patient thinks I am doing less for her because she is poor. Then say what is happening out loud, because she is right to notice and wrong about the reason. "Three of the treatments that would help your skin cannot be given to you because of your chest. I am not giving you less; I am giving you what is yours." A patient who has been told which doors are closed, and why, stops counting the points and starts watching the result. See also → Weeks, Not Sessions, "Weeks, Not Sessions".

10. Several entries have question marks printed in them. Are those mistakes? No, and they must never be tidied away. They mark claims their own author would not defend — four of the uses under (10) Pan, the athlete claim under (4) Pan, the polio line under Spl, the long Ku holds where research is continuing, and Dorsal. A student is entitled to know which sentences in a system are settled and which are still being explored, and a therapist who promises a patient something printed with a question mark has overclaimed.

11. How do I keep the same-session exclusions in my head during a busy morning? Do not keep them in your head. Keep them on the card. Write the day's plan out in full before the patient lies down and read it once, top to bottom, looking for pairs — Pradip with JJ⁺¹, BOF with JJ⁺², S4–S5 with Triangle. Three pairs, and they are the only ones. The mistake is never made by a therapist reading a written card; it is made by a therapist adding one more point halfway through because he has just thought of it.

12. What should I be writing down for the next generation? Exactly what this article contains and nothing grander. When a point helped, in whom, at what count. When a point did not. And above all, when a point made somebody worse — because the rarest and most valuable rules here are the ones nobody deduced. In asthma this point increases the trouble. This is a matter of experience. Somebody paid for those lines, once, and wrote them down so that nobody would have to pay again.

Questions patients ask

1. "You gave my neighbour six treatments and me only two. Is it because of the fee?" No — it is because of your chest. Four of the treatments your neighbour gets are the ones that make a wheeze worse, and one of them is the one I would most have liked to give you for your skin. I am not holding anything back to save time. I am leaving out the things that would cost you a bad night, and what remains is chosen for you rather than for your diagnosis.

2. "My sister was given a treatment for her knee and you are not giving it to me. Same knee, same age." Same knee, different back. There is a treatment for the middle of the back that is not given to somebody with knee pain, because it pulls the muscles the opposite way from the knee treatment; your sister has no knee pain and you have. She gets the one; you get the other. In a month, when the knee is settled, the question will look different and I will ask it again.

3. "Is this safe in pregnancy?" Parts of it are and parts of it are not, and I will tell you which as we go. Two treatments here are not given to pregnant women at all — after them the babies move about vigorously, and it is judged that the baby is uncomfortable. There are things I would ordinarily use for nausea that I will give with the hands rather than the feet. If you are pregnant, or think you might be, tell me before you lie down and not afterwards. It changes the plan and it is not a difficult conversation.

4. "I have my period. Should I come?" For other problems, no — come next week. But do come during your period for these: bleeding that is far too heavy, bleeding that will not stop, bleeding that is very scanty, or pain and clots. Those are treated during the period, not despite it. And one of the treatments I would usually give you is not given to a woman during her period, which is the other half of why I ask.

5. "I heard this treatment stops a woman conceiving. Is that true?" Here is exactly what is known, and I would rather you had it from me than from the lane. There is one treatment that may perhaps affect conception, and for that reason it is not given to any woman who wants a child. But it is not proven to prevent conception, and nobody may call it a contraceptive treatment. So do not use it as one, and do not let anybody tell you it is safe to rely on. If you want contraception, let us talk about where you can get something that has actually been tested.

6. "Why do you keep asking about my urine? I came about my back." Because two of the treatments I might give you for that back work on the same set of muscles that control your water, and they pull opposite ways. One of them opens and is not given to somebody already passing too much urine; the other tightens and is not given to somebody passing too little. So the answer to how much urine is coming decides which of the two you get. It is a short question with a long consequence.

7. "You said this point ends lumps. My mother has a lump. Will you give it to her?" I will not give anybody a treatment for a lump that nobody has examined. Bring the report first — not because I doubt you, but because the treatment for a lump that has been identified and the treatment for a lump that has not are not the same act. And I will say this plainly: if it turns out to be something serious, this therapy goes alongside whatever her doctor gives, never instead of it. Anybody who tells you otherwise is selling you delay.

8. "My blood report is normal. So why am I being treated at all?" A normal report is good news and worth having — the things that test looks for have been ruled out. It does not mean nothing is wrong with you; it means nothing that this test measures is wrong with you. Much of what troubles people is an organ working sluggishly rather than an organ being damaged, and no blood report is built to show that. What I can tell you about is what I find with my hands, and I will tell you honestly whether it changes.
