Also called: Three-part sequence for calcium and B12, 1,25 DCC with Gas Only and liver preface
This three-part sequence is the Neurotherapy (LMNT) treatment for people short of both calcium and vitamin B₁₂ at the same time. It first supports the stomach, then the gall bladder and liver, and then gives the whole 1,25 DCC formula — so that calcium, B₁₂ and other nutrients can be absorbed as well as possible.
The 1,25 DCC formula is named after 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol — the active, working form of vitamin D, which the body makes for itself. It lets the intestine absorb calcium and stops the kidneys losing it. Nothing is swallowed or given; the formula is a sequence of pressures named after a chemical your own body makes.
Patients given 1,25 DCC said their digestion and absorption improved. Then came a further thought: B₁₂ needs intrinsic factor, a substance made in the stomach, to be absorbed — and intrinsic factor is made well only when the stomach's blood supply is good. So where both calcium and B₁₂ are low, two parts were placed before the 1,25 DCC formula.
Read downward it is a supply chain; read upward it is a list of the three places a shortage can arise in someone who eats perfectly well.
The sequence has three parts. Its points are listed here as a set, with what each contributes. The exact method is taught hands-on in the Neurotherapy (LMNT) course.
Gas Only, along both thighs — to support blood flow in the stomach so intrinsic factor is made.
The gall bladder point — paired with the liver for the magnesium stored there, without which calcium is not absorbed properly.
The liver point — in the second part, and again at the head of the 1,25 DCC formula, as a link in the vitamin D chain.
The parathyroid point — the parathyroid glands control calcium in the blood.
Liv°, the right-kidney point — the kidneys make the final active form of vitamin D.
Mu°, the left-kidney point — the other kidney.
Ch. Only, the chest — together with the spinal arrow it keeps acid and alkali in balance at the end.
The Round arrow along the spine — the balancing partner of the chest.
Position: Lying on the back (supine) for most of the sequence, and face down (prone) for the spinal arrow at the end.
The exact technique is taught hands-on in the Neurotherapy (LMNT) course. See the course →
Each part is a door that calcium and B₁₂ must pass. The first part supports the stomach so that intrinsic factor is made and B₁₂ survives the journey to the last part of the small intestine. The second fetches the magnesium held in the liver, because calcium binds and is absorbed properly only with magnesium. The third is the vitamin D pathway itself — liver, parathyroid, kidneys — closed with the chest and spine to keep balance.
The body needs about two days to build the calcium-carrying protein in the gut wall, and the protein then lasts for weeks. So when 1,25 DCC is given again, a day is left in between. Half an hour of daily sun is part of the picture, because sunlight on skin starts the vitamin D chain.
This sequence is a companion in the 1,25 DCC family.
Where calcium and B₁₂ are both low, and in the conditions the 1,25 DCC formula serves.
No. Nothing is given. The formula is a sequence of pressures named after the active vitamin D hormone your own body makes.
Because the gut takes about two days to build the protein that carries calcium. Giving it daily asks the cells to restart a two-day job every day.
B₁₂ needs intrinsic factor from the stomach. Without it, B₁₂ is digested away before it reaches the place where it is absorbed.
Yes. Half an hour in the sun daily is advised, because sunlight on the skin starts the body's vitamin D chain. Gentle early sun is best.
Vitamin D is made in the skin from sunlight, then changed in the liver and again in the kidneys into an active hormone that switches genes on in distant cells.

B₁₂ is absorbed only when bound to intrinsic factor from the stomach, and only in the last part of the small intestine, the ileum.

The liver holds a store of B₁₂ that can last several years, so a shortage usually shows only after a long time of poor absorption.

Shows the Vitamin B12 treatment: (3) Gal and (7) Liv on the thigh and forearm, then (8) Left Parkhoo at the left hip with the patient lying on their side. It is given to support the body's absorption of vitamin B12.
