My version of Triage – can’t go into ‘protocol’ and all that is taught /written – as you need to HELP that one in front of you.
They have had a life.
1 – Calm the Shen – so much rests on being sovereign and aligned.
2 – Rescue the Yang Qi – 3 fold – pull out the stored cold, add in the ‘ooomph’ and educate – yourself first as NO cold is NO cold.
3 – Unblock the scars – they block flows – all levels and not only needles – I have one ‘case’ where needling the C section scars were on the 16th video in the series of 21.

PROBLEM – gut unhappy (the person may have been unhappy to set this up –
or may be unhappy now the is reflecting this.).

Structure determines function

When the body is not where it is designed to be – it cannot do what it is designed to do

SYNDROME meaning it is a group of symptoms which consistently occur together, or a condition characterized by a set of associated symptoms.
We are not playing at being medical here. Maybe see here – what id happening mechanically (as a result fo what has come before) renamed to this

A hernia happens when an organ pushes through an opening that a muscle is holding in place. In the case of a hiatal hernia, the muscle involved is the diaphragm. Normally, the esophagus and stomach join together right at the hiatus, which is an opening in the diaphragm that allows these digestive organs and the vagus nerve to pass through. When the diaphragm muscle becomes weak, a portion of the stomach protrudes up through the hiatus, resulting in a hiatal hernia.

Where the stomach and esophagus join together, there’s a sphincter that closes so the stomach acid doesn’t wash up into the esophagus. When you have a hiatal hernia, that sphincter is mechanically forced open, allowing acid to wash up into the esophagus, causing acid reflux symptoms. At the same time, this displacement irritates the vagus nerve, which can cause troubling symptoms that imitate other illnesses.

Here we have more of the multi modality, multi linage, what-ever – works . .

As an acupuncture student, I had no idea that I was signed up for a unique experience. My lecturer was a maverick. He was a chiropractor who was at the forefront – and as such ruffled feathers..
I am so grateful = that my eclectic training allowed me free expression . .

Hiatal hernia syndrome? (CLICK) Another version of this (CLICK)

From where I am now – this is a process – not a discrete action .
Before I do the actual technique, I set the person up to win – and we may spend a few hours working in other issues that have led to why a simple ‘fix’ as yet has not worked.
Stuck Liver Qi is part of the picture. So many other ‘labels’ an acupuncturist may also add-on . .

The cold invasion and the Damp and the low Yang Qi .

This is something that so many have. Few know of it. The correction is easy and best used especially after eating – so there is something in the stomach to assist the movement – really can make a huge difference. When? Not only

Hiatal hernia correction – check & fix

What it is – often it is NOT the actual hernia and diaphragmatic invasion that is the issue – but a constant state of being where it is not to be – rage will do this – and then the SLQR makes even more sense to all cases.
Origin? – Dr John Velthiem [chiropractor] (my acupuncture lecturer 1977-78)
Why it is – We are what is stuck – ‘stress’ . . . and added to the invasion of cold – the Spleen Qi/Yang falls over – too much to do – juggling over capacity.
How to do it – As on the page above respectfully and walk them through each step before and during the session. It is a surprise – and if needed/performed well – it is a blessing – as all of a sudden they can breathe – they feel free, they feel lighter – and of course – can live easier in their body.
What it may feel like – under your hands/fingers
Use force . . . sometimes you can feel the stomach under your fingers.. .
What it feels like to them.
This is invasive – be warned and warn them.
If it is really successful – they will feel a pulling down their oesophagus
When to use – When the point on the Left (Lu 10) is a lot sorer than the one on the left. Also if they have symptoms as on the page above. Often check this,then do the Ileo cecal valve correction – and recheck if it needed doing before, I would still do it FIRST.
When not to use – If they are in distress about you being in the area – maybe as they have had surgery there .
What to do to set it up to win – Ideally have eaten a largish meal in the past 30 minutes – not so useful on an empty stomach.

I mention another ‘fixer’ – as part of the Reconnecting body of work – the ileo- cecal valve correction . . on another page

If ‘diagnosed’ with an actual hernia – but when there is trouble taking a deep breath, or eating enough in one sitting.
When a child may be bed wetting (the buildup of CO2 over night as the breathing is so shallow).

Diaphragm – a crucial component of breathing – and when we are ‘stressed’ or have suffered a hot there – or eaten large meals before lying down, a ‘belly flop’ when diving in water, or been pregnant and baby kicking up there, eating large meals, lying down – some of the reasons we may have this – we need to undo so all is put back were it belongs,. It is not just the stomach misplaced. All will be affected as the ligaments and the peritoneum are everywhere . .

It would help if we cleared out WHY it was there . .
The common causes of a hiatal hernia is increased pressure in the abdomen, often for an extended period of time. This pressure can come from:

Eating large meals late at night – lying down afterwards, doing a ‘belly flop’ in a swimming pool, direct physical trauma, pregnancy (not always, but sometimes), slouching and poor posture, persistent coughing, vomiting, repeated straining during bowel movements, inflammation, poor diet causing indigestion and nutrient deficiencies, heavy lifting, general muscle weakness and debility, having also a ileo cecal valve not working appropriately, not well separating the food remnants passing through. Leading to ‘leaky gut’.

NOTE – read above then extrapolate – babies who are fed then put in a baby capsule, will automatically have more reflux and colic, and gut woes as they are weak/vulnerable/brand new to begin with. The extra pressure they will feel – even if there are no turns in the road, or sudden stops . . .

PREVENTION & FIXING NEEDED

Who knew?

The chiropractor who taught me acupuncture. I followed what he said worked, and it did.

Anyone who engages thinking over many modalities – leaving the Western modern medical versions of life alone. Here we see what is very possibly the easiest way to sort out the consequences of Stuck Liver Qi invading the gut – creating GERD and all sorts of mischief! The diaphragm needs to be able to move well. Essentially this is performed for all of the above. I have a very different version of the diagnosis as I have been taught by someone who was imparting WHAT WORKED onto hie students – as I do. ‘Research’ and ‘qualifications’ are covered – I have 47 years doing/teaching this. Before that – my ‘master’ and his research and development . .I know we can’t just do this and move on – the ileo – cecal valve must be cleared, the shock, the scarring and the lymph and adhesions worked on . . .as with the prostate work – the last step is what you have on this page . .To test if needed is – press the acupuncture point Lu 10 on the thenar eminence of the left hand.

If it is much sorer with/from pressure on the left Lu 10 than the right – and sometimes if not – but the symptoms match – I do it anyway . .

Maybe invest in this kindle version of a well needed article.
This talks of the problems associated with the gut not working well – and instead of the fixing/numbing the symptoms . .
