From Setting the Stomach
Two formulas given as one — NAN and FAN
Digestion then absorption — and the rescue for an adverse effect
When the digestion formula and the absorption formula are given together, the pair has a name and a number.
NAN and FAN
NAN = I Normal formula, II Ajay Normal formula.
FAN = I Fast treatment, II Ajay Normal formula.
If, before the Fast formula, we give (10) Medulla, and afterwards give the Fast treatment, it will be better still. (10) Medulla provokes the vagus nerve — the tenth cranial nerve — by which the digestive system will work still better.
And the use every therapist should know before the day he needs it: if, from any of our treatments, the patient should have an adverse effect, then in order to normalise the effect of the treatment given earlier, we can give NAN or FAN.
Table 4 — Card: NAN and FAN Supine Seated
| NAN, written in full | I (8) Pan (3) Gal (3) Spl (7) Liv (5) Mu · II (8) Pan (3) Gal (7) Liv (6) Gas 'I' – 3 points |
|---|---|
| FAN, written in full | I Fast : Gas : Gas I : Gal : Spl : Liv : Mu : · II (8) Pan (3) Gal (7) Liv (6) Gas 'I' – 3 points |
| What the Roman numerals mean | Part one, then part two, as one treatment, in that order |
| Position | Supine throughout — unless (10) Medulla is prefixed to FAN, which is seated Seated |
| The optional prefix, FAN only | (10) Medulla before the Fast treatment — better still. It provokes the vagus, the tenth cranial nerve |
| What it is for | Everything the three formulas are for — digestion and absorption together, so that all the elements of the food are properly digested and their absorption too happens correctly |
| The second use | The named rescue. If any treatment of ours has produced an adverse effect in a patient, one treatment of NAN or FAN normalises it |
| The caution that comes with the prefix | (10) Medulla — do not give to patients of diabetes and of cancer. To heart patients, give only (10) Left Medulla ▲ Take care |
| Where the prefix is taught | Seated I — Brain, Medulla, Neck, "Seated — I", for the point; The Medulla Family, "The Medulla Family", for the graded series |
There is one further fact about (10) Medulla, printed among the Medulla series and easy to walk past, which explains something in a formula five pages further on. (10) Medulla, by means of the vagus nerve, stimulates every part of the digestive system except the descending colon. It also contracts the lungs and reduces the fast rate of the heart — and to patients of heart disease, only (10) Left Medulla is given. Hold on to the exception about the descending colon. It is the reason the CCK Normal formula ends where it ends.
Table 5 — What the Normal, Fast and Ajay Normal formulas are used for
| In Hindi, as a patient will say it | In English |
|---|---|
| अपचन / मन्दाग्नि (apacan / mandāgni) | Indigestion; weak digestive fire |
| अजीर्ण (ajīrṇa) | Dyspepsia |
| डकार (ḍakār) | Belching |
| भूख नहीं लगना (bhūkh nahīṁ lagnā) | No appetite |
| गैस की तकलीफ़ (gas kī taklīf) | Trouble from gas |
| पेट में अल्सर (peṭ meṁ alsar) | Ulcer in the stomach |
| नाभि के ऊपरी भाग में दर्द | Pain in the upper part of the navel |
| — | And besides these, in these major diseases: muscular dystrophy, motor neuron disorders, Guillain-Barré syndrome |
One item in that list is not like the others, and a therapist who does not notice will one day be sorry. Indigestion, belching, no appetite, gas are complaints. Ulcer in the stomach is a diagnosis, and it has causes that can be found and treatment that cures it. Treat the digestion of a patient who has one, by all means; but pain in the upper belly that comes with weight loss, with vomiting, with black stool, with difficulty swallowing, or with a low haemoglobin, is a patient to be sent, today, to somebody who can look inside.
And the case that belongs to this page — the woman at the Chandigarh camp in 2001, who was given yesterday's treatment without examination, wept from pain she had not arrived with, and was relieved by one treatment of NAN — is told in full, with Guruji's own two instructions, in How a Formula Is Built. Read it again before you read the next section, because everything from here on is a formula that is right for somebody and wrong for the person standing behind them in the queue.
