The thyroid
What a thyroid report is saying
The thyroid sets the speed of the body — the master craftsman, without whose order the other workmen do not get on. All the functions of the digestive tract depend on the thyroid gland.
When the thyroid works less, T₃ and T₄ come out in less than the right quantity; after years of it the quantity in the blood is far below normal and it is called hypothyroidism, and one chief indicator is that the quantity of TSH also rises — because TSH is the order sent to the thyroid from the pituitary. A high TSH is the sound of the body shouting at a gland that is not answering.
And the part that belongs to this therapy: the thyroid gland's basic chemical is tyrosine, an amino acid, which is made in the intestine during digestion. If digestion is not right it will not be made; so T₃ and T₄ will not be made either, and TSH will rise in the blood. If digestion were right, thyroid function would remain right, and we would not fall ill.
So a thyroid report is very often a report about a stomach — and it re-reads a symptom: when the thyroid works less, the residue reaches the large intestine very late, and that person gets hard constipation, so in the treatment of constipation we must certainly stimulate the thyroid gland. Thrd raises metabolism by T₃ and T₄ and is extremely good for diabetes, heart disease and kidney disease, because these diseases come from hypothyroidism; its full list of uses belongs to Each Point in Use. What belongs here is the caution list a report puts into your hands.
Thrd 'P' — Thyroid 'P', six seconds
That is, थाइरोइड पी – 6 सेकंड — Thyroid 'P' – 6 seconds, and it is read aloud that way, the six seconds included, because the six seconds are part of the name as it is written on a card.
On the left arm, pressure is to be given first near the elbow bone and then near the shoulder. At each place press for six seconds and release. Then do the same again at the same places. That is, the count of four equals one.
| Patient's position | Supine, no pillow under the head unless needed; therapist at the head end Supine |
|---|---|
| Where the feet are placed | The left arm only — near the elbow bone, then near the shoulder Left |
| Duration and repetitions | 6 seconds at each place; elbow, shoulder, elbow, shoulder — four applications = one Thrd 'P' 6 sec × 3 |
| What it is for | Named for the thyroid |
The family, laid side by side. One movement, three points, told apart by the arm alone.
| Point | Arm or arms | Places, in order | Applications per written unit | Named for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pit | Both, together | elbows → shoulders → elbows → shoulders | 4 = 1 | Pituitary gland |
| Para | Right only | elbow → shoulder → elbow → shoulder | 4 = 1 | Parathyroid gland |
| Thrd 'P' | Left only | elbow → shoulder → elbow → shoulder | 4 = 1 | Thyroid |
What lies beneath, and what is not. The thyroid is wrapped round the front of the windpipe low in the neck, the four parathyroids stuck to the back of it; both are governed by chemical messages, not mechanical ones, and neither is under the therapist's foot — which, as the anterior-neck rule makes plain, is an extremely good thing.

Calcium, the thyroid, and why a thin bone is not a simple thing
The quantity of calcium in the plasma should ordinarily be from 9.00 to 11.00 mg/dl. If there is an extreme deficiency of calcium, even the heart can fail. So that this may not happen, when the need arises the PTH of the parathyroid gland will tell the osteoclasts to take calcium out of the bones and put it into the plasma.
When the quantity of calcium goes above 11.00 mg/dl, from the thyroid gland a hormone named calcitonin will come out, which will tell the osteoblasts to put that excess calcium into the bones.
Calcium is found in milk, curd, paneer, jaggery (gur) and sesame (til) — more in black sesame. In banana, calcium is less and potassium is more.
What calcitonin does and does not govern
Note that calcitonin has no control over PTH. The control of calcitonin is only over osteoclasts and osteoblasts.
This effect too is found more in growing children. From the effect of calcitonin, within a few hours of calcium becoming deficient in the blood, PTH comes out in heavy quantity, which negates the effect of calcitonin.
Hypothyroidism means T₃ and T₄ being low — and this work of the thyroid gland depends upon the pituitary gland. The work of calcitonin depends only upon the quantity of calcium.
From calcitonin working less, osteoporosis will occur, in which the bones become hollow.
And where the quantity is high: when the calcium in the blood is more than 11 mg/dl, the parathyroid gland will stop the intestine and the osteoclasts from absorbing any more calcium from the bones, and will let calcium go out through the urine.
Now the loop that brings the whole article back to the thyroid chain of Table 2, and it closes in a way students find satisfying.
If the quantity of calcium in the blood is less than 9 mg/dl, the muscles cannot work properly. And for all the glands to work properly, and to send out their secretion regularly, the muscles beside them must work properly. If the T₃ and T₄ hormones of the thyroid do not come out in the proper quantity it is called hypothyroidism — and because of the deficiency of calcium in the blood the thyroid gland will be unable to work properly, so this too can be a chief cause of hypothyroidism.
On this inference Guruji thought that those who have hypothyroidism will benefit from the 1,25 DCC formula. Especially those children who have symptoms of mental slowness (mand buddhi) because of hypothyroidism have benefited greatly. In the treatment of such children this thinking is singular and matchless.
