Chart No. 3

TREATMENT: The positive hand or finger of the operator is on the superior region which is the positive pole, to strengthen the current impulse by the indicated manner of stimulation in order to speed the current on from its accumulated, back-pressure location. The negative hand or finger is placed on any of the inferiorly located regions, negative to the superior or positive pole, to draw the current from the positive contact. Then the left hand descends further down to the neuter [neutral] pole and finally down to the negative pole, to complete the circuit. The right hand may also descend, to lessen the distance after the current goes through the superior poles treated. The application of the hands is in a positive manner, a firm grip or pressure type manipulation of physical energy expenditure rather than a mere magnetic contact. Like poles repel and like applications repel. A positive action in the contact stimulates flow through its repelling force. The object is that the currents in the patient's body should be aroused to complete their own circuits. A good manipulation of Polarity Centers is sometimes painful and far removed from the languid relaxation associated with magnetic treatments.

ALL ACUTE AND PAINFUL CONDITIONS are treated with the current flow, usually from above downward. ALL CHRONIC AND SUBNORMAL CONDITIONS are treated beginning at the extremities, in an upward and inward direction, to augment the weakened return currents. That is where a heat lamp, shone on the bare feet of the patient while getting a treatment, is a great help and stimulates the current flow at the lowest point where the greatest resistance exists, especially when the feet are cold. It aids any therapeutic application EXCEPT in acute conditions with a fever, because infra red [infrared] or any heat lamp applied to the feet will raise the temperature by augmenting or stimulating the ingoing current.

The index finger of the left hand and the second toe of the left foot deal with the heart center and the bulk of the 'Pranic' life force in circulation. The position of this particular finger and toe, especially the condition of the first joint of each and the nail are of diagnostic interest. Sometimes the finger is turned or crooked. This indicates strain except when due to injury. Let each doctor observe and study his case with reference to the finger nails and joints of the region to which the case history points. If it is too involved, use chart No. 4 in book II for regional POLARITY findings and correlations. Dis-eases [Diseases] usually manifest themselves in three - superior, middle and inferior - areas at once; but the manifestation is greatest in the blocked area. This must be located and balanced.

The middle finger represents the digestive region as a whole. It is the Saturn finger which devours its children. Life lives on life in order to survive! The liver is well represented in the right middle finger as the Saturn or melancholy influence and disposition. The first joint, and the arthritis in it, tells the whole story of a liver disturbance. A sluggish liver has not enough of the fire of life (Mars or Vulcan) to digest and consume its food particles and change them into active bile fluid for function of the bowels. The bitter principle in food acts as a stimulus to the latent fiery nature which is too sluggish in its function. POLARITY THERAPY may be employed here with great benefit to the patient. Watch the finger nail for abnormalities and note the degree of inactivity here in such cases. The first joint of the middle finger of the right hand represents the liver, and the first joint of the middle finger of the left hand reacts to the stomach.

You can easily check the local circulation in any corresponding area through the circulation under the representative finger nail. Merely squeeze the sides of the tip of the finger and see the red circulation under the nail. Then watch the after-glow or retained circulation. Compare this with other finger nails and see what the condition reveals. The doctor's work can be most
