Just the pulse picture does not decide a Dai condition.

One needs to:
1. Establish a restricted lateral spinal flex ion on one side. and
2. A restricted spinal rotation on one side.

If both are found and confirm each other, a Dai illness is established
irrespective of the pulse.

The next step is to find out a 5 E pattern which builds on this:
3. Is there a LV GB condition as a primary elemental focus?

The tongue, face color, history by Design can establish this.
This then would support a Dai condition.

The final step is to establish the Murderous Evil, which almost certainly
would come out of a tarnished Metal.

Again the tongue, face color and illness chronology can establish this.

In which case the actual illness sequence can be:
Step 1. An emotional or perinatal or both Grief type experience.
Step 2. This prevails untreated for years and exacerbates Water.
Step 3. This prevails untreated for years and aggresses against Wood.
Step 4. This over time unravels the Dai.
Step 5. In the 30's or 40's the present picture appears.

Q. How to treat a Dai imbalance of this kind?
A. By treating the Dai because this is easy, and then treating the
5 E imbalance.

Dai treatment:
find tender points at GB 25 on one side and perideltoid points on the other
and set the torso straight.

This is 95% of the approach.

Next treat the LV GB manifestation and the earlier LU Metal condition
by a bi elemental prescription using strictly horary open points.

This completes the 100%.

Time lapse 3 or 5 weeks with one intervention a week.
