Clearing the Ash

That is the claim, and this article is the answer to it: every formula ever made for correcting undigested food in the stool, in the order they were made, with every count, every rest, every substitution and every prohibition attached.

The notation is closed. Every bracket, ring, quoted letter, half-sign, colon, Roman numeral and seconds-suffix in this article was taught once, completely, in Table 13 of How a Formula Is Built, "How a Formula Is Built". Nothing is explained again here. Every written rest — the ten seconds inside a count of 2, 4, 4; the minute between stations; the ninety seconds between rounds — is in Table 8 of the same article, with the reason given for it.

Where this article begins

The abdomen chapters are the road; one thing from them belongs here

Before the ash, the fire. The pages immediately before this article belong to the abdomen and its pains, and they are needed here only as the road that led to UDF.

Formula No. 4 — (10) Medulla (4) Thrd 'P' (20) ↑|↓ (8) Pan, named because it cures the number-four pain of the abdomen — belongs to the digestive family and is taught with its eye-disease indications in Setting the Stomach, "Setting the Stomach". The card notation that gave it its name — the old number scale from one, next to nothing, to four, so much pain that the patient cries out even before the hand touches, written above the point before treatment and below it afterwards; and the replacement of those numbers by Pan⁺⁺⁺⁺ over ⁺⁺, because numbers come before the point in a formula as well and a therapist could muddle the number of the pain with the number of the point — is taught whole in Uncommon Problems and recorded in Table 13 of How a Formula Is Built.

APR, the abdominal-pain-releasing treatments, are APR — Abdominal Pain, "Releasing the Belly": the three classes of abdominal pain divided by the number of loose motions; the first version and the revised version; the removal of Gal and Spl from an inflamed abdomen, because the bile of the gall bladder is antiseptic and the spleen makes WBCs and antibodies; and the instruction that closes them — when the motions become completely normal, do not forget to give NAN / FAN for at least one day.

Jeevan Dhara, the stream of life, in which all the organs around the navel are provoked in one order and after which the elderly say they have received a new life — heavy version and present light version both — is APR — Abdominal Pain as well.

One thing from that stretch of the road belongs here rather than there, because it is the reason this article exists at all.

Why a therapy of the hands should touch the body's chemistry at all

Provoke the body's own glands rather than supply the chemical

A student who cannot answer this cannot explain the first thing about UDF to a patient, so it is worth four paragraphs.

In our body, sleeping or waking, at every moment, every function runs under the supervision of some organ or other. Even if we merely lie down, the running of the breath, the beating of the heart and the smooth flowing of the blood all run under the control of the brain. But the brain does nothing alone. It sends messages, in due order, to several other organs, and those organs, obeying the command of the message, complete the work as wished.

When we do physical labour, many kinds of changes arise inside the body at once. To rise from lying to sitting, or to stand, different messages issue continuously from the brain for the movement of every organ. To send oxygen — प्राण-वायु, prāṇa-vāyu — by the blood into the hands and feet, the heart must beat a little faster than it did lying down; and care must also be taken that, on account of this faster beating, the blood pressure does not rise too much. All of that happens twenty-four hours a day, outside our understanding and without our control — involuntarily, that is, of its own accord.

To keep the coordination of all these things, several different kinds of chemicals keep being released, which keep watching at all times that no kind of imbalance arises anywhere inside the body.

Table 1 — The three kinds of chemical, and where each one comes from

So the coordination of every function in the body will happen properly only when these chemicals are released at the right time and in the right quantity. If even one of them falls short, the coordination of the organs is spoiled. Even then, the organs that keep watch over them make considerable effort so that no effect falls upon the working system of the body — and for some years they succeed in this. But when the quantity of these chemicals becomes rather too much or too little, then indeed they take the form of disease in the body.

The stool as the readout

Food in its own shape or colour means proteins are not digesting

After being swallowed, a chemical process takes place upon every particle of food. So it follows that after that chemical process the shape and the appearance of the thing eaten ought to change.

Over six decades, after questioning more than one lakh patients, it was found that the patients of almost all old, chronic diseases definitely admitted that in their motion — the stool — some one or another of the following things is seen in its original shape or colour:

the seeds or the skins of tomato, brinjal or bhindī, lady's finger

the grains of chana, matar or groundnut

the leaf of coriander, curry leaf, spinach or methi

the raw pieces of carrot or beetroot salad

the mustard, cumin and the other things used in the taḍkā, the tempering

On reflecting a little it will be understood that all the things written above — whether in the form of leaves or in the form of vegetables — are all only different forms of protein.

This has been discussed with many doctors. All of them say the same thing: that the coming of undigested food in the motion is natural, and that it has no connection with any disease. Some say it happens because the food is not chewed properly. But Guruji proves, and stands by the claim, that it is not so. If anything at all is seen undigested in the motion, it means the proteins are not digesting properly. Often such people also say their stool is soft. Some say that to clear the stomach they have to go two or three times a day, or more.

The working of the stomach is now so widely known that a child who has passed the tenth standard can recite it. So why the debate?

It is precisely here that the depth of the enquiry shows. After digestion and absorption, whatever residue is left is thrown out of the body as stool. So — when so many chemical processes are going on inside the body, can anything of the food still be seen inside the stool in its original, that is its former, form? If acid and pepsin come out in the proper quantity, then whatever has been eaten, its form and its colour will certainly change — whether he chewed it or did not chew it.

In those people in whom the skins of tomato, or pieces of carrot or beetroot, are appearing in the stool in their natural colour or their own shape, the acid of the stomach, or the enzymes of the intestines, have not even this much effect upon the food substances that they could at least change the colour. Which means those secretions are not being made in the right quantity, or in the proper concentration. And if the stomach's acid is not in the right quantity or of the proper pH, then proteins will not digest properly — and any germ that comes in with the food can easily get inside the blood.

All the enzymes of the body, the chemicals of the brain, and — with the exception of the steroid hormones — all the other hormones are made from proteins only. When some proteins do not digest properly, then whatever chemicals are to be made from them, their deficiency will come into the body; and because of that deficiency the balance of the body will be spoiled, and diseases will certainly come.

The bedside method

Five findings and no laboratory — the stool, the tongue, the curd

If the stomach's acid is right, then hunger will be felt properly, food will digest properly, and no disease can easily come into the body. This same capacity is called जठराग्नि — jaṭharāgni — in Yoga. And this is the very reason the therapy says that one should not drink water or cold drinks along with food, so that the acid of the stomach does not become quietened.

Second, the food that comes acid-laden from the stomach, when it goes into the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine — only if the pH of those secretions is below 4.5 will secretin be made, which provokes the liver to make bile, which is necessary to help in digesting fats. If secretin is not made, the digestion of fats too can be spoiled.

Third, remember that the chemicals of the digestive system itself are also made from proteins. If some proteins do not digest properly, then in the end the digestive enzymes too will not be made properly, from which the digestive action goes on becoming more and more spoiled. In this way a kind of vicious cycle goes on forming.

And if bacteria or a virus remains alive in someone's stomach or intestines, we should understand that his stomach's acid is less, or is not being made. Such people too must be getting UDF.

Now the part a therapist uses with his hands.

Having lines on the tongue indicates that inside the intestines too there will be such scratches, on account of which they cannot absorb nutrients properly.

If the patient is a small child, ask the mother one question: when the child vomits after drinking milk, does milk come out as milk, or as curd — दही?

If milk comes out as milk, it means that hydrochloric acid is not being made in the child's stomach — otherwise the milk would not have come as milk; it would have come out having become curd.

The three levels

The problem of UDF is solved from three levels, for which there are several kinds of UDF formulas. Every formula in this article works in one or more of these three ways, and a student who knows the three can look at any unfamiliar UDF sequence and say what each part of it is for. (Figure 29.1)

By all these specific means, the production of the body's hormones and chemicals improves, and the repair of cells and tissues and the other maintenance and protective functions receive promotion.

When UDF comes

UDF can come to anyone at any age.

To small children UDF comes for the first time when their teeth are coming out. In small children after a certain age it begins to come when the child has eaten some odd or unsuitable thing, or when his liver is becoming weak. It will often be seen that a few days after UDF appears in the motion, the child may get pain in the stomach or the head, or fever, for a day or two. If jaundice — पीलिया — also came in childhood, then its effect remains upon the liver for many years.

The coming of fever indicates that the liver needs rest for a few days. A white layer-like coating appears on the child's tongue. At that time hunger is not felt.

In grown persons UDF often begins to come in those days when they eat irregularly or without limit. The common example is eating at parties or at weddings, on other people's insistence, even when there is no hunger. In such a condition, keeping a fast afterwards for a day or two is the best remedy.

What the patient must do, while you do your part

Change the system of food first — the patient's half runs with yours

During a fast the body gets time for its internal repair, and it soon begins to become well.

One more chief cause of UDF is today's system of agricultural production. Artificial fertilisers such as urea, and pesticides, are being used for crops in excessive quantity. After eating that crop, those chemicals go inside our body and spoil not only our digestive system but our immunity as well. Along with this, there is another ill effect: for some years it appears that the earnings are increasing, but in the long term it is harmful — because from it the fertile power, the productive capacity of the earth, keeps decreasing, which will prove harmful for the coming generations.

When such is the condition throughout the country, a question may arise: what can anybody do about this? Here the therapy makes a practicable request. Those big people who have their own land should use natural manure in at least some part of it; and whenever a birthday or other auspicious occasion comes in the family, they should give the crop grown from that land as a gift to the other members of the family and to friends. From this, awareness towards such crops and towards health will gradually be built up in people's minds, and a taste will be created for returning in the direction of our ancient agricultural method — which was beneficial for the whole of society.

Some people hold that the coming of UDF is not in itself any disease, and therefore one should not be frightened by it. It is true that this is not any disease. The coming of UDF only indicates that whatever has been eaten, the body is unable to digest it. But if this is ignored, then this same thing later becomes the root of diseases.

Guruji has found that the cause of the world's greatest diseases is the coming of UDF itself.

And then the instruction students most often forget, because it is inconvenient.

UDF first, the disease second

In old diseases UDF comes first, whatever the patient came with

Since the food, drink and manner of living of all people is not the same, one and the same treatment will not apply to all patients. After a deep study of the working style of the digestive system, different kinds of treatments for correcting UDF were made, for patients of different tendencies. The whole of the rest of this article is those treatments.

But before the first of them, the rule that orders the entire course of a chronic case.

In which diseases UDF is found

A list of examples, not a boundary — and four names that cannot wait

Patients of all old diseases often get undigested food in the motion. The list is given as examples, not as a boundary:

fits · cancer · AIDS · psoriasis · lumps all over the body · extreme fatigue · IBS, irritable bowel syndrome · osteoporosis · Hepatitis B · RA-positive · idiopathic rickets · rheumatoid arthritis · idiopathic scoliosis · idiopathic Parkinson's disease · eczema and other skin disorders · hypo- or hyper-thyroidism · aches and lumps in many parts of the body · bamboo spine, that is ankylosing spondylitis · deformity of bones, that is, bones becoming crooked, and so on.

That is why Guruji says that the coming of UDF is the root cause of all the great diseases.

What "undigested food is coming" is taken to mean

Two mechanisms: proteins not digested, and germs not killed

If in the motion the food is seen just undigested — that is, comes as it was — then it means that in the stomach the acid, which is called hydrochloric acid, its quantity is less. This can also happen because of drinking water or soft drinks in between while eating food.

If the pH of the acid in the stomach does not go down to 3 or below, then pepsin will not be made, and proteins will not digest. If proteins do not digest, then many hormones and enzymes of the body will not be able to be made.

And there is one more reason. In fierce acid, bacteria and viruses cannot remain alive. If the quantity of acid in the stomach is less, then the bacteria or viruses that are in the food can easily reach up to the intestines, and from there can get into the blood.

Two mechanisms, then, and every formula in this article answers one or both: proteins not digested and germs not killed. Hold the pair, because the second is why a treatment for undigested food contains a sustained hold aimed at infection.

Since people are of different tendencies, many kinds of UDF formulas have been made. They are given below in the order they were made, so that you can see how the family developed — and, at the end, a table for choosing between them.

Generation one — the seed

(10) Medulla (6) Gas Only — two steps, and everything is built on them

The whole family grew out of a line of two steps, and that line has to be learned exactly as it was first made, because every change afterwards is only legible against it.

Table 3 — Card: the earliest and most basic UDF formula Seated Supine Both sides

Generation two — the modification, and the principle inside it

Milder stimulations, repeated often, beat one strong dose

The seed was later modified, and the modification is the form most students meet first. What was changed is small here and large in the reasoning.

Hold both cards in the eye at once, because everything that follows is these two steps with things added to them. And two facts about them govern every generation to come.

Generation three — the improved treatment, in four stages

Ku arrives for immunity, Pan for the pancreatic enzymes

This too was later improved upon. Two things came into the formula that had never been in it before, and both of them return again and again in the members that follow: the sacral hold for immunity, and the pancreas.

Table 5 — Card: the improved UDF treatment Seated Prone Supine 6 sec

Two stages of Ku at two different timings are the first appearance of a habit that runs through the rest of this article, and Table 15 below sets out every timing the family uses and what belongs to which formula.

And one treatment stands on its own beside this one, made of nothing but the hold:

Generation four — the comprehensive treatment, in six stages

Two stages added at the end to reach the small intestine

The treatments above do indeed serve the purpose admirably well. What was wanted next was a treatment that reached further down the tube: a comprehensive treatment to stimulate the stomach, the accessory organs of digestion, PLUS the small intestine. So two stages were added to the end of the improved treatment, and nothing before them was disturbed.

Table 6 — Card: the comprehensive UDF treatment Seated Prone Supine 6 sec

Look at stage VI and you are looking at the closing sequence of half the formulas still to come in this article — Pan, Gal, Liv, Gas 'I' — the absorption tail, arriving here for the first time.

The two treatments written for diabetics

What a barred point looks like when it is taken out properly

(10) Medulla is barred in diabetes. The bar and the reasoning behind it are established in Setting the Stomach, "Setting the Stomach", and are inherited by every formula that contains the point; this article applies the bar and does not argue it again.

That leaves the question every therapist meets on his second diabetic patient: if half the compulsory pair cannot be given, what is given? The answer is the other half — and most patients usually have pain in Gas in any case, which is where the treatment would have gone first.

Table 7 — Card: the basic treatment for diabetics Supine Both sides

And beside it, a longer treatment for the same patient — and for a good many others.

Table 8 — Card: the eight-stage treatment for diabetics and for poor digestion Seated Side-lying Prone Supine 6 sec

Set the two cards side by side and read stage VII across, because this is the clearest example in the wiki of how a formula is fitted to a patient who cannot be given one of its points.

Seven of the eight stages are identical. Necklace, Raman, the light Parkhoo pass, the heavy Parkhoo pass, the twenty-second Ku twice, the six-second Ku twice, and the whole of the closing stage VIII — all of them stand exactly as they stand in the formula for body pain, brain disease and paralysis. Only stage VII is different. There it reads (10) Medulla (1) Gas only – 6 Pts. (1) Gas 'I' – 6 Points. Here it reads (1) Gas only – 6 Pts. alone: (10) Medulla, which is barred in diabetes, is not written — and the (1) Gas 'I' – 6 Points that closed that stage is not written here either. Gas 'I' is given once in this formula, at stage VIII, and not twice.

That is what a barred point looks like when it has been taken out properly. Nothing was substituted for it and nothing was added to compensate for it. The stage that carried two points and a closing step now carries the compulsory element by itself, and the seven stages around it are untouched.

What the review of the points adds

Every point used against UDF has been met in this article as the formulas used it, and most of what the family says about each one has already been given — (15) Medulla for acetyl choline, (10) Medulla for the vagus and the threefold acid, Gas Only for HCl, histamine, pepsin and gastrin, Pan for the pancreatic enzymes, Gas 'I' for the small intestine, (½) Ku for the basophils and mast cells and so for immunity, infection and inflammation. Four entries in that review say something that has not been said yet, and they are worth having.

Table 9 — What the point-by-point review adds

Two of those four are worth a second's thought at the mat. Necklace reduces pain — which is why the heaviest formula of this family, the one written for pain in the body, opens on it. And the four organ points reach the mesenteric arteries and the colon, not only the three organs they are named for; that is the anatomical reason a set of one-application steps across the thighs and arms can change what a patient's bowel does.

Generation five — the simplest treatment

Three techniques, and not one of them on the abdomen

The next formula made is the shortest of the complete protocols, and — this is the surprising part — none of its three techniques is on the abdomen at all.

Table 10 — Card: the simplest UDF treatment Prone Supine

Generation six — OLD UDF

Seven parts, sixteen steps, and the patient turned four times

After this, having considered many aspects, the following treatment was made, which has proved quite useful. It is called UDF पुरानी — OLD UDF — and the word old is the generation marker, not a comment: older versions stand beside their successors in this therapy, and they are not errors. Table 13, How a Formula Is Built.

It is the longest single prescription you have met so far: seven parts, sixteen steps, four positions, and the patient is turned four times.

Table 11 — Card: OLD UDF Seated Side-lying Prone Supine 6 sec

Table 12 — OLD UDF, step by step

Reading OLD UDF point by point

This is the part of the article to read twice. Not because the formula is hard — the counts are small and the order is plain — but because a student who can say what every step of one long formula is doing can read any formula in the wiki. The rest is vocabulary.

Take it part by part, and at each step ask the two questions that matter: what is this for, and why is it here and not somewhere else? (Figure 29.3)

Part I — (15) Medulla. What it is for: acetyl choline, which is necessary for acid to be made in the stomach.

Three names were given on page 314 as the things required for acid to be made: histamine, acetylcholine and gastrin. The formula opens by going after one of them. That is the first thing to notice about OLD UDF — it opens on the chemistry, not on the abdomen.

Why fifteen and not ten? Because ten is the other Medulla in this formula and it does a different job. Fifteen opens; ten, at part V, provokes the whole digestive system through the vagus. The number in front of the point is part of the point's identity in this family, and the Medulla series is graded for exactly this reason.

Why first? Because the patient is seated when he arrives, before he is laid down for anything. Position order and clinical order agree here, which is not an accident — a formula that turns the patient four times has been written so that the turns fall where the clinical logic wants them anyway.

Parts II and III — (2) then (8) Rt. Parkhoo and Lt. Parkhoo. What they are for: folic acid / thiamine & B₁₂ / niacin.

Two hips, four vitamins, two passes. The right hip carries folic acid and thiamine; the left carries B₁₂ and niacin. And the reasoning attached, which is worth learning as written because it names exactly what each vitamin is doing in a digestive formula:

Note what the notation is telling you. – 20 secs means one press, held exactly twenty seconds, then released — no six-second count anywhere in this step. × 4 treatments means four sessions. So part IV is not a step of today's session in the way the others are. It is a thread running through four days of them.

Part V — (10) Medulla, then (1) Gas Only – 6 points. What they are for: to provoke the whole digestive system through the vagus nerve; and to increase blood supply in the stomach.

This is the heart of the formula, and it is the pair that is compulsory everywhere.

Part VI — (1) Gal (1) Spl (1) Liv – 3 points (1) Mu – 3 points. What it is for: the digestive system.

Four organs, one application each, in normal order — Gal before Spl, Liv before Mu. That order is not decoration. The therapy's own rule, stated in the Jeevan Dhara formula, is that giving Spl after Gal and Mu after Liv will increase normal peristalsis; reverse them and you are deliberately slowing the bowel, which is why the reversed pairs are written with a line ruled beneath them wherever they occur. There is no underline anywhere in OLD UDF. Read that absence: this formula is not trying to slow anything down.

Part VII — Ajay Normal → (8) Pan (1) Gal (2) Liv – 3 points (1) Gas 'I' – 6 points. What it is for: absorption.

Everything before this part has been about making something — acid, secretions, muscle tone, blood supply. This part is about getting it in. (8) Pan brings out the digestive enzymes of the pancreas; Gas 'I', down both calves, provokes the jejunum and ileum, by which the absorption of digested things takes place properly.

And the detail students walk past: Ajay Normal is the form of the Normal formula in which Spl is left out, and the omission is the formula. Yet Spl is given in part VI of this very sequence. Both facts stand as written. The spleen point is used in OLD UDF, and the closing absorption sequence is simply the version that does not contain it.

And what may be given after the whole of it.

Table 13 — The stated purpose of every part of OLD UDF, at a glance

Why (½) Ku – 20 seconds is given in a treatment for undigested food

The white cells, the ACTH, and the seconds that are the dose

This is the question part IV of OLD UDF raises, and it is answered at length because the answer governs six of the formulas still to come.

When someone gets UDF, then in his body there will be infection in a great many organs. And from this treatment it has been found that wherever in the whole body there is infection or inflammation — whether it be in the kidney or in the intestines — all are put right.

To explain how that happens, the functions of the WBCs — the white cells of the blood — were studied closely, and the inference drawn from them is set out below. It is a theory, and it is offered as one.

In our body there are many cells to fight infection, which fight infection in different ways. Chief among them are monocytes and granulocytes.

Table 14 — The white cells, and what each is held to do

And then the sentence that makes the whole passage a piece of clinical humility rather than a claim.

The seconds, and what the suffix is doing

(½) Ku is a named half-form of the point, not half a count, and the number written after it is seconds of a single sustained press — not applications. Table 13, How a Formula Is Built. The manoeuvre is always the same; only the number changes.

The point to carry away is that the seconds are the dose. Twenty seconds is the UDF family's working hold; six seconds is what is added when a second, shorter provocation is wanted in the same course; and the longer holds belong to another family of treatment altogether. Give eighty seconds where twenty is written and you have not been generous — you have given an alkali treatment to a patient you were treating for undigested food. (Figure 29.4)

Generation seven — the symptom-matched formulas

One spine, four formulas, and a closing step set by the bowel

Up to here the family has one general-purpose member. From here it splits, and the split is made on the patient's tendencies — what his bowel does, whether there is infection, whether he is a child with CP, whether his alkali has increased.

Before any of them, the rule that governs all four.

The general UDF formula

Table 16 — Card: the general UDF formula Seated Side-lying Prone Supine 6 sec

Three things have changed from OLD UDF, and each one is a decision you can now read.

The heavy Parkhoo pass has gone. (2) each, once. Less work at the hips, because this formula is written for everybody rather than for a patient with a long chronic disease behind him.

The ovary points have arrived. (1) Rt. Ov. and (1) Lt. Ov., at the end of the organ part. They are in none of the other three formulas of this group.

The closing calf step has become adjustable, and this is the part that must be learned exactly, because it is where the formula is fitted to the patient's bowel.

The stomach-setting formula

This one is also for 'setting' the stomach, and its indication is exact. Give it to those who have pain at Gas, at B₁₂ and at folic acid, and who also have constipation.

Table 17 — Card: the stomach-setting formula Seated Side-lying Prone Supine 6 sec

The shape of it is worth saying aloud: this is the longest formula in the group, and everything added to it is added for the bowel. The heavy hip pass, both Ku timings, a Gas 'I' at part VI that is not in the others, the whole Fast treatment as a block, and a closing step weighted to the calves. A student who understands why each addition is there will never need to memorise the list.

For knee pain, back pain, CP children, and those whose alkali has increased

Table 18 — Card: the knee, back, CP and raised-alkali formula Seated Side-lying Prone Supine 6 sec

Two things make this formula different, and both are readable from the card.

Raman has arrived, and it has arrived second. It is the first formula of the family to place it after the opening Medulla. In the two formulas that come after this one, Raman moves to the front and the opening Medulla is dropped.

And there is no absorption tail. The general and the stomach-setting formulas both end on Ajay Normal, which is the absorption step. This one ends at the compulsory pair. It is the shortest formula of the four, and the calves are added only for a costive bowel.

If there is infection or inflammation

Table 19 — Card: the infection or inflammation formula Seated Side-lying Prone Supine 6 sec

The dosing tells you what this formula thinks it is doing. Six sessions of the twenty-second hold — the hold the therapy attaches to infection and inflammation — against four in the general formula and two in the stomach-setting one. The Ku is the treatment here; everything else is the UDF family's ordinary spine.

The four compared

Generation eight — the heaviest formula, and the widest indication

Necklace first; and the HCl treatment 5 to 15 minutes after

The family closes with one more formula and one appendix. The formula is the heaviest of the set, and its indication is the widest anywhere in this article.

Table 21 — Card: body pain, brain disease, paralysis — शरीर में दर्द, ब्रेन की बीमारियाँ, पैरालाइसिस Seated Side-lying Prone Supine 6 sec

Two notes attached to it, and both are worth carrying.

Raman is named here for the peritoneum — the smooth membrane that lines the abdominal cavity and wraps the organs inside it, the way a cloth lining wraps the inside of a bag. That is the only place in the UDF family where Raman's target is named, and it explains why a treatment given at the shoulders belongs in a set of abdominal formulas at all. Seated I — Brain, Medulla, Neck owns the point.

And the symptom list — the therapy's own account of what the UDF formulas are good for.

The HCl treatment formula

It was seen in some patients that the UDF treatment has to be given again and again, and even then the problem does not get fully right. So this treatment was made, which works especially to increase the stomach's HCl acid.

Table 22 — Card: the HCl treatment formula Seated Prone Side-lying Supine 6 sec

Look at what the first four steps have in common, because it is the most exactly reasoned formula in this article. Three things are needed for acid to be made: histamine, acetylcholine and gastrin. Part I goes after acetylcholine. Part II goes after histamine. Part III goes after gastrin — at the cells outside the pylorus, the gate at the stomach's outlet, which is precisely where the therapy places them. Part IV returns to acetylcholine by a second route. Four steps, three chemicals, one target: the acid. Then parts V and VI are the ordinary work of digestion and absorption, done on a stomach that has just been switched on.

And the sentence that closes the family. All the formulas above can be used to improve the working style of the stomach and the intestines. Ahead we shall see other formulas, which improve the work of other glands.

The whole family, and how to choose within it

Thirteen treatments and their companion, and the table that chooses

Thirteen treatments and their companion, made in this order, each one answering something the one before it could not. (Figure 29.6)

Table 23 — The generations of the UDF formulas, in the order they were made

Read that table downward and you can watch a therapist thinking. The dose goes milder and more frequent at the second step and never goes back. The opening moves — Medulla, then Medulla with Raman, then Raman alone, then Necklace before either. The hips go light, then heavy again where more is wanted. The Ku arrives at the third generation, gains its second timing there, and afterwards moves between two sessions and six. The tail grows: first nothing after the stomach, then the four organs, then the absorption sequence. And the last step of the formula becomes a dial rather than a number. Nothing in the middle ever changes: (10) Medulla with Gas Only, every time — except where (10) Medulla is barred, and there Gas Only stands alone and carries the formula by itself.

One name this article does not answer to

There is a name a student will meet in and will come back here to look up, and they should be told plainly that they will not find it. The Complement System formula — the fourteen-part treatment at the very end of the formulary — carries this instruction with it: giving the Complement System after the New UDF formula is beneficial for almost all old diseases.

That is the only place the phrase "the New UDF formula" appears, and no formula in this family is called by that name. The thirteen above are named by what they do or by the patient they were made for — the seed, the modification, the improved and the comprehensive treatments, the two written for diabetics, the simplest, OLD UDF, the four matched to symptoms, and the heaviest. Which of them the instruction means is not said, and it is not for a therapist to decide by guessing.

What the instruction does carry is its order, and the order is the part a therapist acts on: the Complement System comes after a UDF formula and not before one. That is the order this whole article has been teaching — the ash cleared first, the defences raised afterwards. No method is given here for a formula of that name, and none is supplied; choose the UDF formula for the patient in front of you by Table 24 below. (Figure 29.7)

Questions students ask

1. I am seventeen and this is my first formulary article. This many formulas is a lot. Which one do I actually learn first? Learn the seed first, because it is two steps and everything else is built on it — (10) Medulla (6) Gas Only, and then what was done to it: milder stimulations, repeated often, were found to be more effective than one strong dose. Then learn OLD UDF, and learn it the way this article reads it — not as sixteen steps but as seven purposes: the acid signal, the vitamin machinery, the infection, the compulsory pair, the four organs, the absorption. Once you can say what each part is for, the rest of the family is OLD UDF with things moved. The simplest treatment takes ten minutes to learn afterwards, and the four symptom-matched formulas take an evening.

2. A doctor in my family says visible food in stool is normal and I should stop frightening people. What do I say? Say what the therapy itself says, without exaggerating it. It is true that this is not any disease. The coming of UDF only indicates that whatever has been eaten, the body is unable to digest it — and the position taken here is that if this is ignored, this same thing later becomes the root of diseases. That is a claim about what follows over years, not a claim that the patient is ill today. Do not tell anybody they are sick because of a tomato skin. And do not let a disagreement about a sign stop you from sending a patient who is losing weight, passing pale greasy stools that will not flush, or becoming anaemic — that person needs a doctor and a diagnosis, not a formula.

3. Why does a treatment for undigested food contain a hold on the sacrum? Because the therapy holds that when someone gets UDF, then in his body there will be infection in a great many organs — the acid being short, germs that come in with the food are not killed. (½) Ku – 20 secs is given to finish both infection and inflammation, and the reasoning offered is about the white cells: the monocytes that live for years in tissue, the neutrophils inside the blood, the eosinophils that make a highly reactive form of oxygen, and the basophils by which the Ku treatment is held to provoke the hypothalamus and pituitary to make ACTH, and so the adrenal to make cortisol. And the therapy's own honest close: whether it provokes the granulocytes, or the monocytes, or the ACTH — that is the body's work to see.

4. I am a retired schoolmaster and I keep confusing (6) Gas 'I' – 3 points with (1) Gas 'I' – 6 points. Is there a trick? Not a trick — a habit. Say the step aloud in two clauses before you give it: "six applications, three stations — because he is constipated." The bracket is always applications; the number after the dash is always stations. Table 13, How a Formula Is Built. And the clinical sense underneath it will hold the two apart better than any trick: a costive bowel gets pressure concentrated in fewer places; a loose one gets the whole length of the calf touched lightly and loaded nowhere.

5. I work in a village and cannot send anyone for a stool test. Am I working blind? No. The therapy's whole bedside method was built for exactly your situation. Pain between the solar plexus and the navel. Pain at Gas. What the stool looks like. Lines on the tongue. Milk or curd in an infant. Those five cost you nothing and no equipment. What you must have is the referral — the knowledge of which findings belong to a doctor and the willingness to say so. A therapist who can name the test he cannot do is worth more than one who has never heard of it. See also → Reading the Reports, "Reading the Reports".

6. If (10) Medulla is barred in diabetes and cancer, and it is half the compulsory pair, what is left of the formula? Gas Only is left, and Gas Only is the element the therapy calls chief and compulsory. That is precisely why it is the compulsory one: it carries no prohibition. Give the formula with part V reduced to Gas Only, and give the rest of the sequence unchanged. You have not given a crippled formula; you have given the formula as it stands for that patient. The withheld element is withheld by the condition, not by your judgement.

7. I am a physician. What exactly is being asserted here? Three separable things, and they are worth keeping apart. An observation — that patients with long-standing chronic disease very commonly report visible food residue in stool and tenderness in the epigastrium. A protocol — a set of manual sequences, given in a fixed order with fixed counts, reported to change both. And a mechanism — that surface pressure raises gastric perfusion and acid output, and that a shortfall of gastric acid propagates into a general failure of protein-derived signalling molecules. The first is what you can verify at the mat this week. The third is a hypothesis, and the therapy's own symptom list — pain at Gas, heaviness in the abdomen, gas, nausea, headache with heaviness — is the modest and testable end of it.

8. The article says (15) Medulla is for acetylcholine and (10) Medulla is for the vagus. Are they not the same nerve? They sit at the same site and they are given for different purposes, and in this therapy the number in front of the point is part of the point's identity. Fifteen opens the formula, for the chemical. Ten sits in the middle, to provoke the whole digestive system. Do not substitute one for the other because they look alike on the card. The whole graded series — (2), (4), (6), (8), (10), (12), (15), (20), (30) — and what each of them is for, is The Medulla Family, "The Medulla Family".

9. A woman came for her fourth session and told me she had started her period. I had already laid her prone. What do I do? You thank her, you help her up, and you do not give the Ku. Then you give what remains of the formula that does not contain it — in most of these sequences that is everything except one part — and you tell her plainly why, so that she tells you next time without being asked. The restriction is written without exception. See also → Treating Women, "Treating Women".

10. Why does the infection formula have no (15) Medulla when every other one does? Because it opens on (3) Raman instead. That is the formula's own construction and the absence is part of it — as the missing absorption tail is part of the knee-and-back formula, and the absence of Spl is what makes Ajay Normal what it is. Copy a formula's absences as carefully as its numbers. A student who "restores" the opening Medulla because the other formulas have it has written a different prescription.

11. My patient's undigested food stopped in eight days and he wants to stop. Has it worked? It has begun to work, and he should be told the true shape of it. The coming of UDF does not end so easily, because it happens on account of the person's eating and drinking and irregular way of life. Finish the course; then give the treatment for whatever he actually came with; then write a month four or five ahead on his card for the UDF to be checked again. The patients who come back two years later saying the treatment did not last are, almost always, the ones nobody gave that date to.

12. Is the HCl treatment a UDF formula or not? Not one — its companion. It was made because in some patients the UDF treatment has to be given again and again, and even then the problem does not get fully right. It is given 5 to 15 minutes after any UDF formula above, never instead of one, and its first four steps go after the three things needed for acid to be made. And the instruction that follows it is worth having: any other treatment given after both gives still more benefit — so the day's third treatment goes last, not first.

Questions patients ask

"The doctor says there is nothing wrong with my stomach. Why are you treating it?" He is right about what he tested. He tested whether there is a disease of your stomach, and there is not, and that is genuinely good news. What I am checking is different — how well your stomach is working, which is not the same question as whether it is diseased. If food is coming out of you looking the way it went in, your stomach is working below its best. That is not an illness and I am not going to call it one. It is something that can be improved, and improving it usually makes everything else I do for you work better.

"So all my problems are because of my stools?" No, and I would not want you to leave thinking that. What I am saying is narrower. When food is not being broken down properly, the body has less of the raw material it builds its own chemicals from — and over years that shows. So we put that right first, and then we treat what you actually came with. It is the order that matters, not a single explanation for everything.

"Do I have to look at it? It is disgusting." Once, and then you will not need to again. Look tomorrow morning and tell me one thing: whether anything is there in the shape it went in — a tomato skin, a whole chana, a curry leaf. That is all. Most people have never looked, and almost everybody who looks for the first time comes back the next day with an answer. After that I will not ask you again for months.

"Should I stop my medicines during this treatment?" No. Not one of them, and not the dose. Nothing I do here replaces a tablet, and anything you stop on your own can hurt you in a way I could not fix. If at some point your doctor finds your numbers have changed, that is his decision to act on, and I would be glad of it. Bring me the list of what you take, so that I know what I am working alongside.

"My Ayurveda doctor talks about āma. Is this the same thing?" They point at the same picture and they are not the same system, so I will not pretend one is the other. Both say the digestive fire can be weak; both say that what is left behind when it is weak causes trouble over time; both say you do not fix it by stimulating the appetite first. Where they differ is what is done about it. Keep taking whatever he has given you and tell him you are doing this — there is nothing here that works against him.

"My son is six and does not speak properly. Will this cure him?" I will not promise you that, and you should be careful of anyone who does. What I can tell you is what this treatment is for and what has been seen: it is given for the digestion, and it is said to be especially beneficial for children who are slow, and I will teach you both formulas so you can give them at home every day. But first I want two things done that I cannot do — his hearing tested and his thyroid checked — because if either of those is the reason, it can be treated, and it is best treated early. Do those, keep whatever his doctors give him, and we will work alongside it.

"Why are you pressing my hip when my problem is my stomach?" Because of what those two places on your hip are for in this work. They are the points we use for the vitamins that the digestive system needs to do its job — one of them so that the glands can make and release their juices, another so that the muscle of the stomach and its outlet can work properly. Your stomach is not short of pressure. It is short of what it needs to work. So we go where that is reached from.

"Can I eat normally during this?" Not quite normally, and this part is genuinely yours to do. Do not drink water or cold drinks with your meals — it quietens the very acid we are trying to raise. Eat only when you are actually hungry. Take more raw and live food — sprouted grains, fresh fruit juice, salad. If you can manage a proper fast under someone trained, that is best of all, but do not attempt one alone. The full rules are Food as Medicine, "Food as Medicine", and I will write out the short version for you.
