From The Two Kingdoms

Palpating the pair, and the first visit

Compare Mu° and Liv°, confirm by reversing, then the seven steps

You already know how to press: slowly, with the flat pads of the fingers, straight inward, watching the face and not the hand, grading what you find from − to ++++ by the depth at which the going stops being easy. The Educated Hand taught all of it. What is added here comes from one fact — the finding at this pair is a comparison, not a measurement. You are not asking does the low back hurt, but which of two identical places hurts more. (Figure 8.3)

Comparing Mu° and Liv° at the low back. The patient lies face down, the low back uncovered from the last rib to the top of the hip bone. Kneeling on the patient's left, the therapist rests three finger pads in the soft hollow beside the spine — Mu°; the same hollow on the patient's right is Liv°. The other hand stays still on the upper back. Right side first, then left, never both together.

THE METHOD, STEP BY STEP

Palpating Mu° and Liv°

Position. Prone The patient lies face down, flat, arms alongside the body, head turned to one side, the low back uncovered from the last rib to the top of the hip bone. Anyone who cannot lie face down — the breathless, the heavily pregnant, the very frail — is palpated Side-lying in side-lying, one side at a time, and you write on the card that it was done that way.

Find the bones first, not the point. Walk the fingers up to the underside of the last rib, then down to the rim of the hip bone. The point lies in the gap between them, out to the side of the ridge of muscle beside the spine, where the wall gives way under the finger. If your finger is on bone, your finger is in the wrong place.

Liv° on the right first, then Mu° on the left. Right Left Flat pads of three fingers, straight and horizontally inward into the soft gap, slowly — no more than the pressure of a firm handshake. One side after the other, never both together: two hands never press equally, and you have no way of knowing which of yours pressed harder.

Same hand, same fingers, same speed, same depth — which is why you change your own position rather than reach across — and press the two within a minute of each other. A comparison across a five-minute gap is a comparison against a memory.

Ask the comparison, not the symptom. "Which of those two is worse?" — never "Does this hurt?" A patient asked the second question very often says yes, to be helpful.

Confirm by reversing. × 3 Repeat the pair the other way round, left before right, and again if the answer wavered. An answer that holds through three passes is a finding.

Grade and write both, including a clear minus. Seated Mu° L +++ HP · Liv° R − is a complete statement, and a recorded minus is what lets a change be seen in six weeks.

▲ Take care Light contact only in the elderly, the very thin, anyone with fragile bones, and anyone who has broken a bone after a small fall. The twelfth rib floats free at its front end and gives way more easily than any other rib in the body.

The two points of this article. Mu° (Mucus Zero) and Liv° (Liver Zero) are mirror images in the soft hollow of the low back, below the last rib, above the rim of the hip bone, beside the spine; palpated prone or side-lying. Tenderness at Mu° on the left reads the left kidney sluggish, acidic; at Liv° on the right, the right kidney sluggish, alkaline.

One warning above all others at this pair. Press firmly enough and you can produce pain in the low back of a perfectly well person — and if both sides hurt you have learned nothing, because you have two pluses and no comparison. If both sides remain equally tender after the reversal, the honest entry on the card is *no finding* — worth more to the next therapist, and to you in a month, than an invented answer that reads well today. (Figure 8.4)

THE METHOD, STEP BY STEP

The first-visit sequence

Step · What you do · Chips

1 · Take the history — including the two water questions, the stool questions, and the question about what she puts in her mouth for health, by which powders, churan and a neighbour's tablet are caught · Seated

2 · Palpate Liv° on the right, then Mu° on the left, equal pressure, one after the other, never together · Prone Right Left ▲ Take care

3 · Repeat step 2 in reverse order to confirm that the answer holds · Prone Left Right × 3

4 · Palpate the front pain points around the navel in the fixed route — outer ring inward, right member of each pair then left, grading and writing as you go · Supine Both sides

5 · Ask the symptom questions of the column your finding points to — and the other column's too, since a patient may sit in both · Seated

6 · Record the direction — acidic or alkaline — with the two or more symptoms that support it, and the grades that anchor it · Seated

7 · Choose the family of treatment, and give it at the determined counts, in the determined order ·

Steps 2 and 4 are in that order for a reason taught in The Educated Hand: the flanks sort the patient the furthest, and the first press of a session should be away from wherever she says it hurts.

Step 6 is the one students skip, and it is what makes a record usable. "Acidic" on a card teaches the next therapist nothing. "Acidic — Mu° L +++ HP, Liv° R −; hard stool alternate days; blocked nose; menses 6 days; white hair from 32" lets her check your reasoning — and lets you check it yourself in six weeks.

TAKE CARE

Before the acid treatment, and when the low back is not to be pressed at all

Before giving the acid treatment, one must certainly check the pain of Mu°. If there is no pain at Mu°, the acid treatment is not to be given — where the material states it most strongly, if there is no pain at Mu° at three plus, ATF is not to be given. This command comes out of a real afternoon at the Chandigarh camp, where a woman who had done beautifully on the acid treatment was given it a second time without an examination and wept from pain that had not been there before: "today the same treatment was given a second time, so in her body the acid became very much reduced — or say that the alkali increased, one chief symptom of which is an increase of pain in the body. When I checked, today I found pain in Liv°." A correct treatment repeated on a body that has already moved does not do nothing. It pushes past the middle and out the other side.

Light contact only at the flanks in the elderly, the very thin, and anyone with fragile bones or a bone broken after a small fall.

Do not press a painful low back in a patient who also has fever, chills or burning urine — loin pain with fever needs a doctor today, not a session. The same for blood in the urine, a new lump in the abdomen, or a loin pain that came on suddenly and has not let go.

Keep away from the region altogether where there is a known kidney swelling, a transplanted kidney, a recent biopsy, or a tube or stent in place.

Never press hard enough to make tender a point that was not tender. You are looking for a finding, not creating one.

One last caution sounds like a technicality and is not. Removing the tenderness at Mu° or Liv° is not, by itself, the same as correcting the direction: for curing the acid or alkaline state, simply taking away the pain at the point alone is not enough. The point is the signal, not the disease, and it very often clears before the picture does. A therapist who stops when the flank goes quiet has treated the warning light and left the engine as it was.
