ABDOMEN SETTING — four movements, and nothing touches the abdomen

The knees are the handle, and every count is three

For those whose stomach is very bad, this is one more excellent treatment for setting the abdomen.

Read that sentence and then read the method, and notice what is missing: no hand goes near the belly at all. Every one of the four movements is done by holding the knees. The abdomen is set by moving the hips and the lower back through directions they have stopped going in. (Figure 24.4)

Summary card	Laid straight throughout; the hands on the knees for every movement. Butterfly ×3 · knees joined, heels at the buttocks, three to the right and three to the left · one leg straight, the other knee inward to the ground, three on both sides · face one way, both knees the other way towards the ground, three on both sides. For those whose stomach is very bad Supine Both sides × 3

Every count in this treatment is three, and every movement but the first is done to both sides. Movement 4 is the one students shorten, and it is the largest: the face turns one way and both knees turn the other. Turning only the knees is a different, smaller movement. The counter-turn of the head is what makes it the treatment.

And the movements are passive. The therapist holds the knees and moves them; the patient supplies nothing. A patient who "helps" has tightened the very muscles the movement is meant to lengthen. Tell her, once: let your legs be heavy and let me do the work.

FROM AYURVEDA AND YOGA

पवनमुक्तासन — the posture that lets the wind go

The yoga tradition has a posture whose name is a plain description of what it is for: पवनमुक्तासन, pavanamuktasana — the wind-releasing pose. Lie on your back, draw the knees to the chest, hold them, breathe. Beside it sits the supine twist: knees over to one side, head turned to the other, and stay.

Both are prescribed in the old routine for digestion, for wind, for a heavy stomach after eating — and both are, movement for movement, what this entry does with the patient's knees while she lies still and does nothing.

The difference is who supplies the effort. A person with a very bad stomach often cannot make her own twist; a person who has stopped sitting on the floor certainly cannot. What the tradition asks a body to do for itself, this treatment does for it.

From APR — Abdominal Pain

The revision — Gal and Spl taken out of an inflamed abdomen

Nothing added, nothing strengthened — two points taken out, and why

Benefit was certainly being obtained from those treatments. But even in that, some patients would be met with who did not get full relief.

And then came the thought that changed the whole group, and it came from asking what the points in part III actually do.

Key teaching

Why two points were removed

The bile of the gall bladder is antiseptic. The spleen makes WBCs and antibodies.

So by giving these two points — Gal and Spl — the inflammation could increase.

Therefore these two should not be provoked in inflammation. Accordingly the treatments were changed in that direction.

Sit with that for a moment, because it is the most instructive piece of formula-building in this wiki. Nothing was added. Nothing was made stronger. Two points were taken out, on a reason drawn from what those points are for — and the patients who had not been getting full relief began to get it. (Figure 30.3)

This is what it means to say that an omission is an instruction.

Table 5 — Card: APR class A, revised Seated Prone Supine

Written	I (30) Medulla (6) Swt · II (6) Adr (6) Swt · III (6) Adr (6) Swt (8) Pan (1) Mu – 3 points (1) Liv – 3 points
Who it is for	Abdominal pain with up to four or five loose motions
What has gone	Gal and Spl — both of them, entirely
What has stayed	(8) Pan, and the reversed Mu before Liv
The underline	A line is ruled beneath the Mu and Liv steps. Here the order of Liv and Mu is the reverse of normal, which is why the line is there
The counts	Back to the standard form — (1) Mu – 3 points, (1) Liv – 3 points
The strengthened form	Already built in: (6) Adr (6) Swt now appears in part II and at the head of part III
Prohibitions carried	Those of (6) Adr ▲ Take care

Table 6 — Card: APR class B, revised Seated Prone Supine 6 sec

Written	I (30) Medulla · II (6) Adr (6) Swt × 2 treatments (as needed) · III (6) Adr (6) Swt + (8) Pan (1) Mu – 3 points (1) Liv – 3 points
Who it is for	Abdominal pain with more than five or six loose motions
What has gone	Gal and Spl
What has come back	Swt restored to the full six in parts II and III
What has changed in the repeat	The repetition of part II is now written as needed — the stopping-and-repeating rule above governs it
The underline	Beneath the Mu and Liv steps
Prohibitions carried	Those of (6) Adr ▲ Take care

Gal and Spl taken out of an inflamed abdomen. A formula corrected in public: the first version's part III with the two removed points struck through, the revised part III beside it, the reason printed against each point, and the therapy's own row-by-row comparison of the two generations.

DID YOU KNOW?

Bile really does kill bacteria

The reason given for removing Gal rests on a fact that is entirely sound. Bile is not merely a detergent for fat. Bile acids dissolve the outer coats of many bacteria, and a duct or gall bladder that has stopped delivering bile into the gut is a well-known route to an overgrowth of organisms in the small intestine.

The spleen's half is equally solid: it is one of the body's chief factories for the cells that make antibody, and people who lose it are given particular protection against a short list of organisms for the rest of their lives.

The facts are right. What the therapy did with them was to ask a further question — should I be provoking these two in a belly that is already inflamed? — and answer it by taking them out and watching what happened. That is a legitimate way to find something out, and it found something.

A MISTAKE STUDENTS MAKE

Copying a formula's numbers and leaving out its line

A therapist writes the revised class A on a card for a patient's son to bring back tomorrow. He copies the parts in order, the counts, the positions, the days. He does not copy the rule beneath Mu – 3 points and Liv – 3 points, because in handwriting it looks like a smudge and the order is written out anyway.

He has removed three things at once. The mark that stops the hands from giving the familiar Liv before Mu out of habit. The daily prompt to ask this patient about his motions, which the underline carries wherever it appears. And the only sign on the card that this treatment is supposed to end.

Copy a formula's marks as carefully as its numbers. And write the ending out in words, in the language the family speaks.
