(20) Medulla — the dopamine treatment
Parkinson's, prolactin, fits — and the one claim a blood test can check
Table 10 — Card: (20) Medulla Seated 6 sec Both sides
| Written | (20) Medulla |
|---|---|
| Applications | 20, both sides of the neck below the ears |
| Site, technique, position | The standing card — Table 2 Seated |
| Parkinson's disease | After giving this treatment, patients of Parkinson's obtained tremendous benefit — from which it was inferred that it stimulates the part of the brain called the substantia nigra, where dopamine is made |
| What dopamine is | Largely an inhibitory chemical, which acts in the basal ganglia. Its function is to stop the unwanted movements of the limbs. It is also made in other places and sent to the hypothalamus and the limbic system — and in those other places dopamine perhaps performs a stimulating function |
| Prolactin | A second function of dopamine is to inhibit prolactin. By that same inference, when (20) Medulla was given to those women in whose bodies the quantity of prolactin was raised, their prolactin levels were seen to fall |
| Breast size | Many women whose breasts are larger in size than normal have been seen to reduce by this same treatment. Perhaps the reason is that from a rise in prolactin the breasts increase in size |
| Fits | Since dopamine stops the movement of the limbs, (20) Medulla is therefore given in the treatment of fits as well, from which many patients have been seen to obtain benefit |
| Height | Dopamine and serotonin both increase the secretion rate of growth hormone — that is, for increasing height, both (20) Medulla and (8) Medulla should be given |
| What the index adds | Dopamine — Parkinson's; pneumonia in children; or women in whom the quantity of prolactin has increased |
| Its relative in another family | (12) Gas 'I' works like (20) Medulla — see the section at the end of this article |
| Point taught in | Seated I — Brain, Medulla, Neck, "Seated — I" |
Three notes before this card is left.
Read the height line against the (6) Medulla caution once more. (20) and (8) given to a child for height; (6) withheld from a child for height, between the ages of 13 and 20. Three counts at one site, two pushing one way and one held back for fear of pushing the other. The therapy states both without apology, and so does this wiki.
Pneumonia in children appears only in the index, not in the running account. It is carried here whole, because an indication that appears once is still an indication, and a student who meets it on a card three years from now should have met it here first.
And notice the shape of the prolactin claim. It is the only place in this family where the therapy reports a blood test moving — their prolactin levels were seen to fall — rather than a symptom easing. That makes it, of everything in this article, the claim most easily checked, and therefore the one most worth recording carefully.
From The Medulla Family
(12) Gas 'I' works like (20) Medulla
Two points, two families, one errand — dopamine
The last thing this article owes you is a promise made back in the atlas, and it turns out to be the neatest illustration in of what a formula family actually is.
Gas 'I' is not a Medulla. It is a point on the calves, in the digestive group, with a dose ladder of its own — (3), (6), (9), (12) — and the reasoning that built that ladder, beginning with a Parkinson's patient whose tenderness was at Gas 'I' and whose trembling eased when it was given, is taught in full in Correcting the Two Kingdoms, "Correcting the Two Kingdoms". It is not repeated here.
What is taught here is the sentence that joins the two families.
The equivalence, with its context
(12) Gas 'I' is given in Parkinson's disease to produce dopamine. It works like (20) Medulla.
Two points. Two families. Two positions — one supine at the calves, one seated at the nape. One errand: dopamine.
And the reason there can be two is the reason this therapy keeps giving: in our intestines there are enteric neurons, and those neurons make, in smaller quantity, the very same chemicals that are made in larger quantity in the brain. So a chemical the therapy wants can sometimes be asked for at the head and sometimes at the gut, and the two requests are for the same thing.
Table 18 — Two points, one errand Seated Supine
| (20) Medulla | (12) Gas 'I' | |
|---|---|---|
| Family | The Medulla family — this article | The Gas family — The Front of the Body I · Setting the Stomach · Correcting the Two Kingdoms |
| Where | Both sides of the neck below the ears Seated | Down the calves Supine |
| Position | Seated | Supine |
| What it is given for | Parkinson's disease; raised prolactin; fits; pneumonia in children; with (8) Medulla, height | Parkinson's disease — to produce dopamine |
| Held to act on | Dopamine, by way of the substantia nigra | Dopamine, by way of the enteric neurons of the intestine |
| The relation | — | It works like (20) Medulla |
| Its own bar | (see the card above) | Gas 'I' increases small intestinal motility, so it is not given if there are loose motions — and that bar governs the whole Gas 'I' family, not this count alone ▲ Take care |
| Its own warning about the clock | The count is the treatment — Table 2 | Six seconds only at every point. If nine seconds is given at every place, (6) Gas 'I' can become (9) Gas 'I' — the ladder's own warning, Correcting the Two Kingdoms 6 sec |
Why this matters in practice, and not only as a curiosity. A bar on one of the two does not bar the other. A Parkinson's patient with loose motions cannot have (12) Gas 'I'; he can have (20) Medulla. A Parkinson's patient who cannot be seated — too weak, too unsteady — can have the Medulla work lying down, which is expressly allowed, or can have the calf work instead. Knowing that two roads reach one place is what lets a therapist keep treating when one road closes.
Two numbers that look alike on two cards are not a rule
A student who has read Correcting the Two Kingdoms carefully meets a second set of paired numbers there — 8 against 20, and 4 against 10 — in the balance between Ch. Only and the Round arrow, and sooner or later concludes that (8) Medulla and (20) Medulla must balance one another too, or that (4) and (10) are a matched pair.
They are not. Those proportions belong to a different pair of points entirely, with a different logic, and that pair is one of the four inseparable pairs established in How a Formula Is Built — (8) Ch. Only with (20) ↑|↓. The formula they belong to, and the acid-and-alkali balance they strike, are Water and Salt's, whole.
In the Medulla family, (8) and (20) are given together — for height, because dopamine and serotonin both increase the secretion rate of growth hormone. That is a partnership, not a balance, and it has nothing to do with the other pair beyond a coincidence of arithmetic. Two numbers that look alike on two different cards are not a rule.
