Psoriasis

From Each Point in Use

Questions students ask

1. I am nineteen and in my first year. Do I have to learn all of this by heart? No — you have to learn where to look, and then look, every time, until your hand knows it. What you must hold in memory cold is the short list that changes a session: the points withheld in pregnancy, in menstruation, in diabetes, in cancer, in high and low blood pressure, in fits and from a growing child; the four paired instructions; and the six-second rule at (2) Pan. Everything else is a table, and a table is meant to be opened in front of the patient. A therapist who checks in the patient's presence looks careful. A therapist who guesses looks confident and is neither.

2. I am a housewife learning this to treat my mother. She has osteoporosis. Is half the article closed to her? Less than you fear, and the closures are precise rather than sweeping. Shukla is not given — for osteoporosis patients this treatment may perhaps increase the pain, so do not give them this treatment. (4) Para is not given alone; the full 1,25 DCC formula is given instead, and that is the important distinction. (4) Thrd is not given where a bone has grown at an unwanted place — spur, bamboo spine — and the bone indication for (4) Thrd is written for after the wound has filled in a break that is healing. Ask which of those describe your mother. See also → Correcting the Two Kingdoms, "Correcting the Two Kingdoms".

3. I am a physician. Some of the mechanisms here I would not write in a chart. What exactly am I being asked to accept? Two separate things, and they deserve separate pockets. The rules — this count, this side, this angle, this order, this ceiling, this bar — are a protocol, and a protocol is either followed or not. The explanations attached to them are the account the therapy gives of why the rule exists, and several of them are good physiology stated correctly: oestrogen closing the epiphyseal plate, parathyroid hormone mobilising bone calcium, alkalosis lowering the seizure threshold, the split between the two catecholamines down to the diastolic pressure. You may use the rules and hold the explanations lightly. What you may not do is discard a rule because you dislike its explanation.

4. I work in a village and I have no laboratory. Half these bars name a diagnosis I cannot make. Most of them name something you can ask about or see. Does she have periods now, and is she having one today? Is she pregnant, or might she be? Is there sugar? Is there pressure? Does he wheeze in the cold? How much urine is coming? Is there loose motion or constipation today? Has any bone been broken? That is eight questions and it closes most of this article's doors correctly. For the rest — a lump, a fever with rigors, blood where blood should not be — your skill is not the test; it is knowing where to send.

5. Why does Gal help skin disease in one row and harm an asthmatic in the next? Which is true? Both, and they are not about the same person. The middle column tells you what the point does and whom it helps; the right column tells you in whom that same doing is harmful. Gal is excellent in skin disease with constipation, where the benefit is great — and in asthma this point increases the trouble, so it is not given. A patient with psoriasis gets it. A patient with psoriasis and asthma does not. The point did not change; the patient did.

6. I am sixty-six and came to this late. The counts confuse me — (4) Ku is eight, and (½) Ku – 20 secs is one. How do I keep it straight? By reading the word after the number before you read the number. If the card says secs, it is a duration and the point is given once, held for that many seconds. If it says nothing, it is applications. And (4) Ku is the one exception announced in its own entry: two count as one — give it eight times, for six seconds each. Say the whole line aloud from the card before you touch the patient. Everybody does this; the ones who stop doing it are the ones who make the mistake.

7. A card came to me reading only P. What do I do? Send it back and ask which was meant. Three entries in this atlas hang a capital P off a shared stem and none of them is the others: P point, the prolapse point, which must be followed immediately by (6) WD; Thrd 'P', a point of the anterior pituitary with its own bar in bamboo spine and spur; and Ton 'P', the parotid version of Ton, not given to women who want children. A letter is not a prescription. See also → Uncommon Problems, "Points for Uncommon Problems".

8. If (6) Adr is given for polio and the Armpit point is withheld in polio, how am I supposed to treat a polio patient? By giving each point the job it is written for. (6) Adr addresses the inflammation, polio being an inflammatory disease — with its own caution travelling beside it, that it reduces immunity and is therefore not given where immunity is already low. Blood supply to legs addresses the weak leg, thirty times on both legs. The Armpit point and the Thymus group are held back, carrying their own bar. And Spl carries an open question. That is four points doing four different things in one disease. It is a treatment plan.

9. My teacher says a short card is a good card. My patient thinks I am doing less for her because she is poor. Then say what is happening out loud, because she is right to notice and wrong about the reason. "Three of the treatments that would help your skin cannot be given to you because of your chest. I am not giving you less; I am giving you what is yours." A patient who has been told which doors are closed, and why, stops counting the points and starts watching the result. See also → Weeks, Not Sessions, "Weeks, Not Sessions".

10. Several entries have question marks printed in them. Are those mistakes? No, and they must never be tidied away. They mark claims their own author would not defend — four of the uses under (10) Pan, the athlete claim under (4) Pan, the polio line under Spl, the long Ku holds where research is continuing, and Dorsal. A student is entitled to know which sentences in a system are settled and which are still being explored, and a therapist who promises a patient something printed with a question mark has overclaimed.

11. How do I keep the same-session exclusions in my head during a busy morning? Do not keep them in your head. Keep them on the card. Write the day's plan out in full before the patient lies down and read it once, top to bottom, looking for pairs — Pradip with JJ⁺¹, BOF with JJ⁺², S4–S5 with Triangle. Three pairs, and they are the only ones. The mistake is never made by a therapist reading a written card; it is made by a therapist adding one more point halfway through because he has just thought of it.

12. What should I be writing down for the next generation? Exactly what this article contains and nothing grander. When a point helped, in whom, at what count. When a point did not. And above all, when a point made somebody worse — because the rarest and most valuable rules here are the ones nobody deduced. In asthma this point increases the trouble. This is a matter of experience. Somebody paid for those lines, once, and wrote them down so that nobody would have to pay again.
