Water and Salt

This article is about water, salt and the pressure they make between them, and about the organ that decides how much of each the body keeps. It is the largest article in the formulary, and it carries the debts the last nine articles have been running up — six of them, named and discharged here.

The notation is closed. Every bracket, prefix, ring, glyph, arrow, × sign and secs suffix in this article was taught once and completely in Table 13 of How a Formula Is Built, "How a Formula Is Built", and is not explained again. Every written rest is in Table 8 of that same article, with its reason attached. Two spellings you will meet on a card in this article: ↑|↓ is the Round Arrow, and \°/ is the Back Arrow, whose other name is Blood supply to lungs.

You have now reached the end of nine articles of formulas, and a great many of them have closed with the same two steps. New Genes closes with them. 1,25 DCC closes with them. Mild Genes closes with a quarter of them. Jeevan Dhara closes two of its four parts with them. Every time, you have been told the same sentence — this has been given to maintain the balance of acid and alkali — and every time you have been sent here.

This is here.

What the two halves actually do

Both are described by what they reduce — this is a therapy of counterweights

The counts, and what the proportions mean

The complete card for Ch. Only and the Round Arrow, side by side

Table 1 — The balance pair, complete

Four scales, one proportion

A ladder of balance pairs, and every rung is the same two to five

Here is where the proportion earns its place. The therapy does not carry one balance pair; it carries a ladder of them, and every rung is the same ratio.

Table 2 — The balance pair at all four of its sizes, and where each is met

Vitamin and Gene Formulas noticed that Mild Genes keeps the proportion at a quarter of the size — two to five where the parent gave eight to twenty — and left the arithmetic here. That is the arithmetic. A formula reduced by a quarter is still balanced, because balance is a ratio and not a quantity. It is the difference between a smaller meal and a badly cooked one.

How a therapist actually uses it

The pair exists so that it can be broken on purpose — two moves, one ratio

Now the fourth sentence of the observation comes into its own. Because the therapy treats the condition of the body, the pair is not only a closing formality — it is the adjustable part of many formulas, and the adjustment is made on a finding you can take in thirty seconds.

How a formula gets built, watched from the inside

Four questions asked before a hand was laid on anybody

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Table 4 — Why each point of LSTF is given

The compromise in the tail, stated with its price

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

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

The Round Normal Formula

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

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

Table 7 — Why each point of Round Normal is given

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

Table 8 — LSTF and Round Normal side by side

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Table 10 — The chief uses of the Lactic Acid formula

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

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

The Angiotensin No. 2 formula

For a pressure that fell suddenly because half a litre of blood went out

This is a treatment for raising low BP and bringing it immediately to normal, made exactly on the basis of the facts of physiology. It is very good for those patients whose blood pressure has fallen because 500 ml or more of blood has flowed out of the body — from menstruation, or from a blow, or from the cutting of some limb.

By this treatment the blood pressure will rise at once. And it has one further quality that no tablet has: as the production of blood in the body increases over some days, so this treatment reverses itself. That is, the blood pressure will not rise more than is needed. How that happens is the whole of what follows.

The Renin–Angiotensin System, in plain words

Angiotensinogen, renin, ACE — and the three actions of angiotensin #2

When angiotensin #1, passing along in the blood, reaches the lungs, then from the lungs an enzyme called ACE comes out — Angiotensin Converting Enzyme — which changes that angiotensin #1 into angiotensin #2.

Angiotensin #2, written in short as AT2, is an extremely powerful chemical that raises BP at once. It works in three ways, and the third of them is the one that gives this article its title.

Where a blood pressure falls from, and what falling does

Haemorrhage, hypovolaemia — and the signs that say the system did not answer

Now let us see from what causes BP can fall. If low BP has come on suddenly, one main cause of it is blood suddenly flowing out of the body. This is called haemorrhage. Because of it, the blood volume — the quantity — falls all at once.

Ordinarily this can happen from the following causes:

when some deep injury has occurred;

or an accident has happened;

or, in women, when there has been very heavy bleeding during an abortion — a miscarriage — or in the menses;

some people can feel giddy even after donating blood. That too is from this same cause.

Note: if bleeding has occurred because of an accident, in the hospital report it is written as haemorrhage due to RTA — RTA meaning Road Traffic Accident.

Liver, kidney and lung — how the formula was built

Four questions, four answers, and a formula: (7) Liv (7) Mu° (6) Lu+Sh

If we somehow make angiotensin #2 in the body, the BP will become normal. First we have to make angiotensinogen. Then the kidney and lungs will change it. So how is all this to be done?

Here comes the originality, and it is worth following one bullet at a time, because each answers a question a good student would have raised.

Table 12 — The three points read against the cascade

It was seen that immediately after this treatment the shivering of those women stopped and the blood pressure began to rise. Since the formula is based on the facts of the physiology of angiotensin #2 production, its name was fixed as the Angiotensin #2 formula. (Figure 35.4)

Why it cannot overshoot

Restore the volume and you have removed the signal that makes the chemical

Here is the part that makes this formula unlike a drug, and it is worth saying to a patient in exactly these terms.

How the name Angiotensin #2 was arrived at, and what was seen at Salem

Reasoned first, named afterwards — with the doctor's disbelief kept in

The formula was reasoned out first and named afterwards, on what was seen. It is worth having the sequence in that order, because that order is itself the claim.

Where the interest began. In hospitals, for the treatment of double pneumonia, the medicines given are dopamine and angiotensin # 2. The two chemicals of this part of the article were not picked out of a physiology book. They were picked out of what was being put into patients who were very ill.

What was already in hand before the formula was built. That dopamine can be provoked with (20) Medulla had already been seen.

ADK — the sequence for the patient who once had pneumonia

Angiotensin, dopamine, kidney — and the illness the mother had

One line of enquiry led straight out of the Angiotensin formula and into a group of patients nobody had thought to connect.

Where this sequence is used, and why, widens considerably from the child with pneumonia.

In mentally retarded children it is sometimes found that some of them had pneumonia in childhood. Giving these three treatments along with the other treatments makes a considerable difference — the parents of such children tell us so themselves.

Not only that. If a child comes to us for any problem at all, and we learn that the child earlier — or the mother during her pregnancy or a few days before it — had pneumonia, then when we give the child all three of the above treatments the benefit reaches him at once, even though he may have come to us for some entirely different illness.

The Vasopressin formula

(2) Para, and nothing else — the shortest formula in the manual

The story at the head of this article is how it was found. Here is the formula, which is the shortest in the wiki.

The readings the name was given on

Beside the account of how the formula was found stands a set of figures, repeated on patient after patient. These are the measurements the name was actually offered on.

After some days of treatment — 110/70, or even higher.

And alongside the figures — the giddiness she had before no longer comes, and she says she feels very well.

Three things are worth saying about that list, and none of them is a complaint about it.

The first is that the figure moved inside an hour, which is short enough to be watched in the room, and long enough that anybody can check it. A therapist who wants to know whether this is true of the patient in front of him has only to take the reading, give the treatment, and take the reading again. This is the most easily checked claim in the article, and it costs nothing but a cuff and an hour.

The second is that both halves moved together — ten points on the upper figure and ten on the lower — which is what a change in the volume and the tone of the whole system looks like, rather than a change in one part of it.

The third is the last line, and it is the one a patient cares about. The giddiness stopped. A pressure that reads better on a machine while the patient still cannot cross a room has not answered anything; this record says the reading and the person moved in the same direction.

Which of the two, for which patient

Vasopressin holds water only; angiotensin #2 holds salt and water

Where they came from

A bottle of multivitamin tablets, a question asked, and four treatments

Once Guruji, Kamlesh Didi, Shri Piyush Panchal ji and some other therapists were sitting and having some discussion about the formulas. Then Piyush ji asked Guruji why some such treatment should not be made from which everybody would get energy — that is, strength. At that very moment a bottle of multivitamin tablets came into his hand; and looking at it, the names Vitamin B₁₂, calcium and so forth were on it.

Until then, separate treatments were already being given to raise calcium, sodium and so on. After Piyush ji's question this thought came — why not join these together and make one treatment? From that thought came four treatments.

At present these are four separate treatments, which correct the deficiency of sugar, sodium, calcium and vitamin B₁₂ and so forth in the body. Often it is from the deficiency of these things that a person feels tired for no reason. So when the appropriate formula is given to remove their deficiency, the patient's tiredness goes away at once. Hence these are called Multivitamin formulas, because if there is weakness in the body, doctors often tell people to take multivitamin tablets.

Table 17 — Each point of the Multivitamin formulae, and the substance it is given for

That table is the whole grammar of the family. Four substances — sugar, sodium, calcium, B₁₂ — and a point for each, with the B₁₂ block sitting permanently in the middle because it is the one every tired body is assumed to want.

Which formula for which patient

Four named shortages — sugar, sodium, calcium, B₁₂ — one formula each

To those who have a deficiency of salt, give (2) Adr. To high BP patients, do not give (2) Adr. ▲ Take care

The inherited bars, once, for all four. Pit — not to diabetic patients, because it raises sugar; it raises alkali, so not to high blood pressure, cancer and fits patients; perhaps low blood pressure patients will benefit. Para — (4) Para is not given separately by itself to those who have osteoporosis; they must be given the full 1,25 DCC formula; (2) Para not to high blood pressure patients. Gal — not in leukaemia, blood cancer or other diseases arising from a raised white cell count; not in asthma; not to those passing little urine. Liv — not in liver cancer. Lt. Parkhoo — no prohibition is printed for this point. Adr — (2) Adr not to high blood pressure patients; (6) Adr reduces immunity, so not in septicaemia, AIDS, HIV or cancer, and reduces acid and raises alkali, so not in high blood pressure. ▲ Take care

The 2007 revision — the right hip comes in

(8) Rt Parkhoo added for folic acid: the middle becomes Folic Black

Notice what the revision actually does. The three B₁₂ steps in the middle are replaced, as a block, by the four steps of Pure Folic Black — (8) Rt Parkhoo (3) Gal (7) Liv (8) Lt. Parkhoo, the right hip and then the whole B₁₂ formula. Nothing is dropped; one station is added in front, and it is the folic acid station. The reason is the one the vitamin article makes its whole argument out of: only by both B₁₂ and folic acid being present do red blood cells obtain maturity. A family of formulas written for tiredness that had only half of that pair in it was going to be improved by having both.

Two equal one at Parkhoo — so (8) Rt Parkhoo is sixteen presses, eight above the prominence of the thigh bone and eight below, worked alternately; and the same for (8) Lt. Parkhoo. The technique, the side the patient lies on and the pillows between the knees are in On the Side, "On the Side".

This is one of the most consequential treatments in the wiki, and it is consequential twice over: once for what it does, and once because it is the gate a heart patient must pass through before another formula may be given at all.

Table 20 — Card: the Angina / Athero treatment Seated Supine Side-lying Prone 6 sec ▲ Take care

The rule that makes this a gate

The Angina treatment only, two to four days, before Vater may be touched

There is a second thing in that rule worth naming out loud, because students miss it. The graded Medulla series carries its own heart rule, and it is a substitution and not a refusal. (10) Medulla is not withheld from a heart patient; (10) Left Medulla is named as the half that may be given — and side is part of the identity of a point, not a detail of technique. That instruction belongs to (10) and travels with every formula containing (10) Medulla; it does not automatically attach to the other members of the graded series, each of which carries its own rules.

How the formula came to have a tail

A formula that reaches the acid–alkali machinery must put something back

In this therapy we use the WD point to provoke the reproductive organs. To provoke the organs below the navel we give the New Genes formula; and if there is severe pain there, then in it, in place of Chest Only we give Thymus Chest. We use this in problems of the uterus or the prostate gland.

— from which it was seen that patients get wonderful results.

That short passage is the reason of this article had to come first, and it is also the clearest demonstration anywhere of what the balance pair is for. A formula that provokes the two kidneys is a formula that reaches straight into the body's acid–alkali machinery — the left kidney filters acid, as you were told in the Angiotensin section — and a formula like that cannot be allowed to end where it stops. Something has to be put back.

You have met the same lesson from the other side. Pure 1,25 DCC has no balance pair, and both Pure formulas of the vitamin article carry a warning in the same words for exactly that reason. A formula that ends without a balance is a formula that leaves the patient somewhere.

The Kidney Clear formula

The old single form rebuilt as a staircase of four graded steps

The formula for provoking the kidneys is called the Kidney clear formula, of which there are two kinds — and we have to choose the appropriate formula according to the patient's condition on that day.

I · (1) Liv° · (1) Mu° · (2) Ch. Only · (5) ↑\ · ↓

II · (3) Liv° · (3) Mu° · (4) Ch. Only · (10) ↑\ · ↓

III · (5) Liv° · (5) Mu° · (6) Ch. Only · (15) ↑\ · ↓

IV · (7) Liv° · (7) Mu° · (8) Ch. Only · (20) ↑\ · ↓

Table 21 — Kidney Clear: the old single form and the four graded steps

Look down the two right-hand columns. 2 and 5. 4 and 10. 6 and 15. 8 and 20. Every rung is the same two-to-five proportion of — and grade IV is exactly the old single form. The reform did not change the formula; it built a staircase up to it.

Whom the Kidney Clear formula is for — the two-key rule

A complaint from one list and a finding from the other — never one alone

Note — if there is pain along with the stone, then in place of Ch. Only and ↑|↓, give Th + Ch.

Two things about that indication are worth learning as craft, not just as content.

First, it is conjunctive. A complaint from the first group and at least one item from the second. That is a two-key rule, and it is far more disciplined than a list of diseases. A patient with psoriasis does not thereby get Kidney Clear; a patient with psoriasis and a hard motion, or and more pain at Mu° than at Liv°, does.

Second, look at what the second group is made of. It is almost entirely findings, not complaints: the relative tenderness of two named points, the duration of the menstrual period, one specific finger, the blood pressure. You are being told to examine before you choose — and exactly what to examine.

Table 23 — Whom the Kidney Clear formula is for

The Ulta Kidney Clear formula

Both pairs turned round, because the body's own direction has turned round

That is precisely the ulta operation you met once already, in Ulta 1,25 DCC — Mu° is to be given first and Liv° afterwards; and (20) ↑|↓ is to be given first and (8) Ch. Only afterwards. One operation, performed on two different formulas, for the same reason: the patient's own direction has turned round, so the order that addresses it turns round with it. Counts unchanged; proportion unchanged; only the order reversed.

Table 25 — Card: the Ulta Kidney Clear formula Supine Prone 6 sec Left Right ▲ Take care

Table 26 — Which of the two, on the findings

Read that table down rather than across and something becomes obvious: it is the two kingdoms, on one page, in nine rows. Dry skin against weeping skin. Hard stool against loose. Left ring finger against right. Low pressure against high. The formula is not chosen by the disease at all. It is chosen by which direction this body is leaning today — which is why one patient can need the plain form one month and the ulta form the next, and why the material says exactly that: not everyone has the same symptoms every day.

What else the Kidney Clear treatments are used for

Pneumonia, CP children, swelling — and one question left open

The Anil Sharma treatment

A gate before the formula, and a rotation that pays back what Adr takes

Not every formula in this wiki was made by Guruji, and this one says so on its face.

Three things in that card repay study, and they are all about discipline rather than content.

One — the gate is written before the formula, not after it. If there is no pain in Mu°, it is not to be given. You have met that shape once before, at the head of ATF: no Mu°⁺⁺⁺, no acid treatment. Both formulas exist to reduce acid; both refuse to be given to a body that has not first demonstrated it has any.

Two — the rotation is an answer to a cost, and the cost is named. Adr is in this formula eight times out of nine visits, doing the work it is there to do; and eight visits out of nine the thymus is being pushed down as a consequence. So one visit in five the tail changes, and the thymus is given back what it has been losing. That is a planned repair of a known side-effect, written into the schedule instead of waited for.

Three — the rotation is not free either. The day you give (4) Thymus + Chest is the day the thymus bars apply, and there are eight of them. A patient who is diabetic, or has rheumatoid arthritis, or is pregnant, or has a kidney disease cannot have the rotation day — and that is a fact about that patient, to be written on the card, not a fact about the formula.

The Oxygen-Hormonal treatment

Twelve parts, taught to a mother and a father rather than given by a therapist

This is the longest single treatment in the wiki — twelve numbered parts — and it is also the one most often taught to a family rather than given by a therapist.

Main illnesses — abdomen disorder · M.S. (multiple sclerosis) · back pain · mental retardation · neuropathy · myopathy · M.N.D. (motor neuron disorder).

And this same treatment has also been found very useful for:

Low count of platelets — as happens in the illness called ITP, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura

Any genetic illness

S.L.E., scleroderma, or any other auto-immune disorder

Table 29 — The arrow glyphs used in this treatment

The month that the hormones wait

Until the abdomen is completely all right, the hormones are not to be provoked

That instruction is the whole philosophy of this therapy compressed into one schedule. Every gland takes its raw materials from the end products of digestion. So a treatment whose last part is to make the hormones is a treatment that cannot work until the supply line is open — and rather than hope, the treatment withholds its own most important part for a month and puts a digestive formula in its place.

A householder's version: you do not send the tailor an order for six shirts until the cloth has arrived in the shop. Sending it earlier does not get the shirts sooner. It gets you a tailor with nothing to work with and an order he cannot fill.

Table 30 — The three-month schedule for M.N.D. and myopathy

The rest between rounds of a Medulla line is one and a half minutes — Table 8, How a Formula Is Built. Twelve rounds is therefore not merely twice six; it is a considerably longer sitting, and a family taught to give it must be told so.

The Oxygen formula

Ten steps that open the chest, work the whole spine, and open it again

Notice the shape: three, then twenty, then the same three again, in reverse. The formula opens the chest and the neck, does its long work on the whole spine, and then opens the chest and neck a second time on the way out. It is one of the very few formulas in the wiki that closes by repeating its own opening, and a therapist who leaves off the last three steps because they look like a duplication has given a different treatment.

How this formula got its name, and when

Named on reasoning, without a test — measured four years later, by accident

Here the therapy says something about itself that a tidier account would have left out, and it is left in. Read it exactly as it stands.

The readings at Lilavati Hospital, Mumbai, 2004

This is a matter of the year 2004, and the setting is not a treatment room. At Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai there was a patient in a critical stage — that is, a serious condition — whom his relatives called Guruji to come and see. Nothing about the case was chosen; the patient, the hospital and the measuring were all somebody else's.

The figure that was being watched was the hospital's own. The doctors said that the quantity of oxygen inside his cells, which should be 90, was 82.

What followed is the whole record, and it is a sequence rather than a result:

At the start — 82, against a figure that should be 90.

The Oxygen formula was given twice. Two hours later a test was done: it had come to 84.

The same treatment was given twice again. On testing, it had reached 86–87.

All of this happened within a single day — and without any other medicine.

Then the treatment was stopped. For some reason the hospital people had it stopped. The patient was taken to the ICU and treated with medicines, and his oxygen quantity came to 90.

A test done three hours after that showed the oxygen quantity had fallen again. And here is the line the whole record was kept for: this time it fell only to 87 — not to 82.

That last figure is the evidence being offered, and it is worth being clear about why. The rise from 82 to 86–87 could be argued about, because a patient in a serious condition is being given many things and is changing hour by hour. The fall afterwards is harder to argue about, because it is the same patient, off the treatment, falling back to his own floor — and his floor had moved. He had started the day at 82 and he came back down to 87. That is the whole of the claim: so why should we not say that the quantity of oxygen in the body can be increased by our Oxygen treatment?

Two things in the account are left exactly as they are, and this wiki does not tidy either of them. The first: "If we had been given a little more time, the quantity of oxygen would have come up to 90 with our treatment." That is a statement of what was believed would have happened, not of what was seen, and it is written as such. The second: "From this it was proved that the formula I had made by reasoning turned out, by Hari's grace, to be correct." The gratitude is part of how the record speaks, and it is kept.

What a therapist should take from it is narrower than the passage and firmer. Where a reading is being taken by somebody else, on somebody else's instrument, for somebody else's reasons — write down every number and the clock time beside it. Four readings in one day, taken by a hospital, are worth more than any number of impressions, and they are worth more precisely because nobody in this therapy took them.

The principle behind all of it is stated once, at the close of the run of examples it belongs to, and it is put as a question rather than as a conclusion: on talking with the patients, from the feedback — that is, the message — received from them, it is understood that these treatments have the very same effect as those chemicals have. That is the whole of why Oxygen and Vasopressin stand in this article with chemicals' names on them, and why Angiotensin #2 does. The statement is signed and dated 24.11.2005, and it is taught whole, with what it does and does not claim, in How a Formula Is Built, "How a Formula Is Built".

The (½) Ku timings that belong to this article

Forty seconds for the pineal; sixty and eighty, where research is continuing

(½) Ku appeared twice in the pages above — once inside the Oxygen-Hormonal treatment at twenty seconds, and once inside the Vater formula at forty. The whole timing family is scattered across four articles of this wiki by the chemical each timing is for, and this is where three of them are taught.

Table 33 — The two kinds of Ku, and where each prohibition is written

Read that last row exactly as it is set out and do not let it collapse. The prohibitions are printed against (4) Ku, the old Kundali, and the contraindication card of When the Hand Must Stop names Ku (old version) for low blood pressure. This wiki states where each is written and does not extend it, and does not withdraw it either.

The article in one table — finding to formula

Every formula of these pages, met the way a therapist meets it

Everything in these pages, arranged the way a therapist actually meets it: a finding first, a formula second. (Figure 35.8)

Questions students ask

1. I am twenty and I still cannot see why the balance pair is not just a tidy habit. What would actually happen if I left it off? You would have given a different treatment from the one on the card, and you would not know which. Ch. Only reduces alkali, so the symptoms of acid increase. Given alone at the end of a formula, that is what your patient takes home — an acid push that nobody diagnosed him as needing. The Round Arrow alone is the same error pointing the other way. The pair exists because the body of the formula has already moved the patient's direction; the tail puts it back. If you are short of time, give a smaller matched pair — two and five — and go home level.

2. I am a retired engineer and the numbers bother me. Why two to five, and not one to one? Because the two things are not equally strong, and somebody measured which. The whole statement is one sentence: to balance twenty Round Arrow you need eight Chest Only, whereas to balance four Chest Only, ten Round Arrow is sufficient. Both of those are two to five. You are not being asked to believe a theory about it; you are being given a conversion rate, the way a recipe tells you that one cup of one thing balances two and a half of another. Learn the ratio and the four rungs write themselves.

3. A housewife here. My husband has high blood pressure and low back pain. Which kidney formula is his? On what you have told me, neither yet — because the finding, not the diagnosis, chooses. Sit him down and check three things: which of the two kidney points hurts more, what his motions are like, and whether the right ring finger is tender to a rub. High BP is in the Ulta list, along with more pain at Liv°, loose motions and weeping skin. But the rule is conjunctive: he needs a complaint from one list and a finding from the other. If the findings do not line up, you have found something worth thinking about rather than a formula worth giving.

4. I am a physician. The Angiotensin No. 2 formula names a cascade I teach to students. What exactly is being claimed? Two layers, and they deserve separate pockets. The physiology is textbook — angiotensinogen from the liver, renin from the juxtaglomerular cells, ACE with its highest activity in the pulmonary circulation, angiotensin II's vasoconstriction, tubular sodium retention and aldosterone release, all within about twenty minutes. Nothing there is idiosyncratic. The claim is that surface pressure applied at three named sites, in that order, stimulates those three organs to run that cascade — and the evidence offered is clinical: immediately after this treatment the shivering of those women stopped and the blood pressure began to rise. Hold the first layer firmly and the second as what it is, an observation with a proposed mechanism. And note how cheap it would be to test: a cuff, a clock, and a written record.

5. I practise in a village. A woman comes giddy after every period. Do I give the Angiotensin formula and leave it there? You give it, and you do not leave it there. Ask how heavy the flow is and for how many days, and send her for a haemoglobin — it is the single cheapest useful measurement anybody could order for that picture. If the flow has been heavy for years, she also needs a gynaecological opinion, because the treatment answers the loss while the loss goes on happening every month. Treat alongside. Never instead. See also → Reading the Reports and When the Hand Must Stop.

6. Why is (2) Para such a small formula? Two presses does not look like a treatment. Because that is what was found, and nothing has been added to it since to make it look more impressive. The account is exactly two applications, a pressure that rose the same day, a second treatment the next day, and a pressure that was still normal when it was checked some days later. Size is not dose in this therapy, and dose is not effect. Compare it with (4) Para, which is only two applications more and provokes a different gland for a different purpose.

7. What is the difference between the Angina treatment and the heparin formulas? Parts III and IV are heparins. The heparins are inside the Angina treatment, not alternatives to it. What the Angina treatment adds is the head and the shoulders: (4) Medulla Clockwise, the Up Arrow at T1/T2, Raman, (10) Pan and (2) Thrd, and then the single-point liver — and it puts Sulta Ulta at 135° alongside the heparins. The heparin work is the clot half of the problem, which belongs whole to The River — Heparin, "The River". The angina work is the segment the heart reports to, and the cholesterol.

8. Someone told me heart patients cannot be given Medulla at all. Is that right? No, and the error is a common one. What is written is a substitution: to heart patients, give only (10) Left Medulla. Side is part of the identity of a point here, not a matter of technique, and a prohibition can bite on one side and not on the other. That instruction belongs to (10) Medulla and travels with every formula containing (10) Medulla; it does not by itself govern the rest of the graded series, each member of which carries its own rules. The Medulla Family takes that apart properly.

9. The Oxygen-Hormonal treatment has twelve parts and I am to teach it to a mother. Where do I even start? You start by teaching her parts I to X and part XII, and you do not mention part XI for a month. That is not simplification — it is the instruction: until the abdomen is completely all right, the hormones are not to be provoked. So for the first month she gives I to X, waits one minute, and gives XII, which is Ajay Normal. When the digestion is right and the coming of UDF has entirely stopped, you teach her part XI and she has the whole of it. A mother learning eleven things in order, once a day, will manage. A mother handed twelve on day one will manage none.

10. I have no science at all. What does "the left kidney filters acid" actually mean I should look for? It means that when the acid side of the body is in trouble, the left kidney point is the one that hurts — and this therapy's whole position is that the two kidneys do not work alike. So on the mat you are not testing chemistry; you are comparing two sore spots. More pain at Mu°, the left, with hard stool and a low-ish pressure, is the acid picture. More pain at Liv°, the right, with loose stool and a high pressure, is the alkali picture. Two fingers, thirty seconds, and the article's biggest decision is made. See also → The Two Kingdoms.

11. The Anil Sharma treatment rotates Th + Ch in every fifth visit. Can I just leave Adr out instead? No — you would be removing the point the formula is built around. The rotation exists because Adr makes the thymus hypo, so immunity would fall if Adr ran uninterrupted; the answer written is to give the thymus back, once in five, in place of Adr. But read the other half too: on that fifth day the thymus prohibitions apply in full, and they are long — pregnancy, polio, inflammatory disease, heart disease, diabetes, RA, autoimmune disorder, kidney disease. If your patient is in that list, the rotation day is not available to him, and that fact goes on his card.

12. Why does this article keep saying Ku reaches the pineal gland when the hand is at the tailbone? Because that is what is stated, and it is stated as an observation with a name attached — (½) Ku – 40 secs for the pineal gland, for melatonin — not as an anatomical claim about a nerve running from one to the other. The honest position for a student is: give the timing that is written, watch what changes, and record it. And note the sentence that stands beside the sixty- and eighty-second timings: research on them is continuing. That is the therapy telling you exactly how much is settled.

Questions patients ask

1. "My blood pressure is 100 over 70 and my doctor says it is fine. So why do I feel like this?" Your doctor is right that it is not dangerous, and it is worth hearing that plainly. What a reading like that does not tell either of us is how you feel doing a day's work on it — and tired very quickly from working is exactly the description this therapy has a treatment for. So I am not going to tell you that a normal report is secretly abnormal. I am going to say that a number can be acceptable and a person can still be running on the low edge of their own range, and that we can work on that and see what changes.

2. "You are pressing my forearms. My problem is constipation." Yes — and the place below and to the left of your navel, where the last stretch of your large bowel sits, is reached from the forearm. Pressure on the arms relieves the region between the navel and below; pressure on the legs relieves above it. It is the same principle by which you tighten a nut at one end of a machine to stop a rattle at the other. Nothing at all is done on the sore part of your belly.

3. "Why do you always ask about my stools? I came about my skin." Because the form of the stool tells me which way your body is leaning today, and that decides which of two very similar treatments you get. Hard and infrequent points one way; soft and frequent points the other. They use the same points in a different order, and the wrong order is not merely less useful — it pushes you the wrong way. One question saves us both a fortnight.

4. "My mother had pneumonia when she was carrying me. Does that really matter now?" It may. The reasoning here is simple: while a child is in the mother's belly, whatever the mother is short of, the child is short of too — so an illness in the mother during the pregnancy can leave its mark in the child. When we know that history, we add three treatments, and what we see is that benefit reaches the patient faster, even when they came to us for something quite unrelated. I cannot promise that in your case. I can tell you it is worth an honest few weeks.

5. "My heart specialist has me on four tablets. Is it safe for you to touch me at all?" It is safe, and it is also bounded, and you should know both halves. We use no medicine and we will not ask you to stop yours. For a heart patient this therapy starts with one particular treatment and nothing else — for two to four days — and only when you are feeling a little better do we go further. And there is a line I will not cross: chest pain that is new, worse, or coming on at rest is not my work. It is an emergency, and I will send you. Say that back to me so I know you have it.

6. "The cramps come in the evening after I have been on site all day. Is it a calcium problem?" It may be salt rather than calcium, and they are told apart by when. Cramps that come as evening comes on, in somebody who has been sweating all day, usually mean salt has gone out through the sweat. Cramps that come in the day and also at night while you are lying asleep point more to calcium. The treatments differ in one step, so it is worth getting right — which means I will ask you to notice for a week exactly when they come, and tell me.
