How to read this article
Read the right column first; the bracket is a selector, not a dose
The atlas taught you a verb. This article teaches you a sentence.
The Front of the Body I to 24 answered how: where the patient lies, where the hand or the foot goes, how many times, at what angle, in what order. Not once did they answer why this patient. That was deliberate. A student who learns the indication before the technique starts fishing for diseases; a student who learns the technique first has something to hang the indication on.
Now the hanging is done, and it has two halves.
Three habits make this article usable rather than merely long.
First — the number in the bracket is a selector, not a dose. This is the single most important sentence in the article and it is stated at the head of three separate families. Stimulating in different numbers produces different effects. (2) Adr raises sodium and is refused to a patient with high blood pressure. (4) Adr raises blood sugar and is refused to a diabetic. (6) Adr reduces inflammation and is refused to anybody whose immunity is already low. Those are not three strengths of one treatment. They are three treatments, and a prohibition attached to one of them does not travel to the others.
Second — read the right-hand column before the middle one. A therapist who reads the indications first will always find a reason to give a point; the list of uses is long and generous and some of it will fit almost any patient. Read the prohibitions first and you are asking the only question that can harm somebody: is there a reason this person must not have it? The story at the head of this article is that habit, arriving one week late. (Figure 25.2)
Third — a prohibition that names a substitute must be obeyed as written, substitute and all. Only a few entries do this, and they are the most useful lines in the article. Where Mu is forbidden, (4) Down arrow may be given in its place. Where (2) Pan is forbidden in a child being treated for height, (4) Pan or (10) Pan may be given. In heart patients, (2) Thrd is given in place of (4) Thrd. Where Gas Only must be given to a constipated patient, Gas 'I' must be given with it — and if the constipation is severe, (2) S4, S5 as well. A closed door with another door beside it is a rule a therapist can actually keep.
The three kinds of caution, and how each is to be treated
The caution reasoned from what the point does.
This point raises X; therefore withhold it where more X is harmful. (4) Adr raises blood sugar, so not in diabetes. Gas Only raises stomach acid, so not in ulcer. Gas 'I' increases the movement of the small intestine, so not in loose motions. Lu + Sh raises blood pressure, so not in high blood pressure or heart disease. Follow these, and learn the mechanism with them — the reason is the memory hook.
The caution learnt by watching. I saw this go wrong, and I do not know why. Gal in asthma increases the trouble — so it is not given. Gal is not given to those passing little urine, and the line attached to it says plainly: this is a matter of experience. Pan given to a patient with schizophrenia causes them to hear voices in the ears, so it is not given to them. These are the rarest and the most valuable kind, because nobody deduced them; somebody paid for them. Follow them exactly, and keep the same kind of record yourself.
The caution that protects a body still being built. (2) Pan stops growth hormone, so it is not given to a child whose height is less or who is under treatment to increase height. Lt. Ov. and Rt. Ov. are refused to the same child, because oestrogen and progesterone hasten the closure of the epiphyseal line of the long bones and the growth in height will stop before its time. These two are absolute and they are worth saying out loud to a parent, because a parent who understands them will not go looking for the treatment elsewhere.
Thirty-two codes, in nine families. Each table gives the point and its variant, what it is used for, when it must not be used, and the notes attached to it — including the article where its method is taught, so that the reference and the atlas stay bound together. (Figure 25.1)
