Reactions after treatment
Now and then a person feels worse after a session — faint, unwell, or in more pain. LMNT has a fixed answer: stop, tell the therapist, examine again from the beginning, write down what happened, and give one treatment of NAN or FAN. A serious reaction goes to a doctor first.
- Fainting is a brief loss of consciousness from a drop in blood flow to the brain; it usually lasts less than two minutes
- Warning signs before a faint include weakness, sweating, feeling sick, sounds fading and narrowing vision
- Pain, fear, standing too long or standing up quickly can all set off a faint

What is Reactions after treatment?
Any treatment — a medicine, an injection, a massage or a pressure therapy — can now and then leave a person feeling worse for a while. Most such reactions are mild and pass; serious ones are rare. Either way, a reaction is important information, and it should always be told.
One common reaction is feeling faint. Before a faint a person may feel weak, sweaty or sick, with sounds fading or vision narrowing. It happens when, for a short time, too little blood reaches the brain — and lying down usually brings it back quickly.
What are the symptoms?
- Feeling faint, weak, sweaty or sick during or after a session
- Sounds fading or vision narrowing, as if about to pass out
- More pain or soreness than before the session
- Feeling unusually tired or unwell afterwards, or a new complaint that began after treatment
What causes it, and who is more likely to get it?
Common triggers of feeling faint
- Pain, fear or strong emotion
- Standing too long, or getting up too quickly
- Low blood sugar — for example, coming on an empty stomach
- Some medicines, such as those for blood pressure, anxiety or depression; heart rhythm problems
Why, in LMNT, a plan may not suit
- A heavy treatment given where the body needed a light one — LMNT gives two or three light treatments in place of one heavy one in severe or long illness
- A point that does not suit this particular person — for example, a patient who says Adr did not suit them
- The acid or alkali side not checked that day — LMNT asks for Mu° and Liv° to be examined before every treatment
How is it found?
A mild reaction is judged by the therapist on the spot. A serious one — fainting that does not pass, chest pain, breathlessness — is checked by a doctor first.
Blood pressure and pulse
A sudden drop in blood pressure, or an unusual pulse, can explain feeling faint.
Blood sugar
Low blood sugar is a common, easily checked cause of weakness and faintness.
Heart check
With chest pain or an irregular heartbeat, a doctor checks the heart before anything else.
In LMNT the first instruction is to examine again from the beginning — Liv° and Mu° and everything else — and to write down what was given, what happened and when.
How Neurotherapy sees Reactions after treatment
LMNT teaching gives one clear rule for a patient who has had an adverse effect from any of its treatments. First, examine again from the beginning, and write down what happened. Then give one treatment of NAN or FAN. The rule is short on purpose: the therapist does not guess, does not add more treatment on top, and does not simply repeat the same plan.
Then the plan is changed. In a severe or long illness, where many glands are already weak, LMNT gives the light treatment — two or three light treatments in place of one heavy one. If a patient says Adr did not suit them, LMNT has a form of the acid treatment that ends at Thymus + Chest instead. In diabetes Thymus is normally barred; this is the one case where that bar is reopened, and the therapist writes down that it was.
Whether or not the patient gets immediate benefit from our treatment, let no harm reach him through our carelessness — attend to this.
Neurotherapy treatment for Reactions after treatment, step by step
Stop and tell
The patient tells the therapist at once, and the session stops. Anything serious — fainting that does not pass, chest pain, breathlessness, severe pain — means 108/112 first.
Examine again from the beginning
Liv°, Mu° and the rest of the examination are done afresh, and what happened is written down.
One treatment of NAN or FAN
The one treatment LMNT gives after an adverse effect — one, not several.
Change the plan, and write it down
Lighter treatments where the body is weak; a different form where one point did not suit — and every change recorded.
Points and formulas used
Never do this
- Call 108/112 at once for fainting that lasts more than a minute or two, chest pain or an irregular heartbeat, breathlessness, severe pain, a fit, or sudden weakness, numbness or trouble speaking. Neurotherapy never replaces emergency care.
- If you feel faint: lie down, raise your legs, loosen anything tight at the neck, and rest for 10–15 minutes before getting up slowly.
- Never push through a reaction. Stop and tell the therapist — telling is always right, and a reaction is never the patient's fault.
- Check Mu° against Liv° before every treatment: never ATF in alkalosis, never ALTF in acidosis. Acidosis
- Cancer: if the person has cancer, (10) Pan, Thymus, Pit, Lu + Sh, Rt. Ov / Lt. Ov and (30) Medulla are never given — the therapist changes the plan.
- Keep taking the medicines your doctor prescribed. Neurotherapy works alongside your medical care, never instead of it.

What research says
- Strong evidence
An expert consensus that defines fainting caused by the body's own reflexes, and the fall in blood pressure some people have on standing — the reasons a person may feel faint on a treatment table or when getting up from it.
No clinical trial of reactions to Neurotherapy has been published yet. What neurotherapists report about reactions and their handling are clinical observations.
For you
Patients
Do not come on an empty stomach, get up slowly after a session, and tell the therapist about every medicine — especially for blood pressure, anxiety or depression.
Learners and therapists
Write down what was given at every session. When a reaction comes, that record is what lets you examine again from the beginning and change the plan.
Families of elderly or long-ill patients
A weaker body reacts more easily. Ask for light, shorter sessions, and tell the therapist at once if the person seems unwell afterwards.
