1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [6]. Now, we find there are conditions of a specific nature as cause the distresses with the physical forces of the body, and while there are conditions that disturb, these are secondary - or results OF distresses as produced by the specific conditions, as we find them.
2. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [6] we are speaking of, present in this room:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY we find an unbalanced condition, produced more by the nerve tensions of the system than of disorders that would be DIRECTLY responsible for same, and with the correction of conditions we would find these would adjust themselves.
4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM - These, as we find, again are a result of the distresses as have been produced in times back, when there was a sudden jar, cold, congestion following same, which produced in the functioning of the organs of the pelvis this disturbance in such a manner as to produce prolapsus - in a form - of the organs themselves, and the pressure as is produced in the system causes the disturbance to the nerve system, in the reflexes to the various portions of the system. This also responsible, as we find, for the disturbance as comes, even to those of the circulation through the upper portion of the body - where the GLANDS, and the system through the throat and bronchia, show distress or disorder. These are rather sympathetic, and are effects - not causes - of the disorders, and were those conditions in pelvis and the general system made to coordinate WITH the changes as would come about by the correction of these conditions, the body would be in a nearer normal activity. While the distresses are of the nature as to produce scar tissue in the form, especially, of tendons being in that position as to PULL the organs and their tributaries, or the portions adjacent in same - the blood supply, the nerve system, is not in a position for

operative measures in the present; nor would the body respond, or were the whole system - as it were - tended forward, or upward, so that the positions could be gradually changed, these MIGHT not be necessary; though they MAY be necessary, even WITH the changes as brought about in the system.
5. We would, though, first PREPARE the body, and IN the change - will the responses BE such, the necessitating of an operation would then be QUESTIONABLE, as to whether it would be necessary or not.
6. In the treatments, we would THOROUGHLY relax those of the lumbar, sacral, coccyx region, and keep well bound, that the conditions may respond to the manipulative measures as would be made in making the corrections and the contractions through the whole of the system; keeping all well balanced, relaxing the system before adjustments - with heat.
7. Colonic irrigations will be well for the body, about once each week - as these corrections are made - that the poisons and the drainages as are set up through the eliminating channels may be cooperative in the effects created in the system.
8. We would not be on feet too much during the periods of relaxation.
9. Following the treatments, the body SHOULD - until normalcy in temperature of the body is kept - be in a position where the hips and feet are higher than head, and when active there should be bandages.
10. We would also use those of the ultra-violet ray over those centers in the cerebrospinal centers in and above the brachial plexus, that the responses in the system to the heart's action, to the digestive system, to the position of the stomach itself - as will be changed with the manipulative forces - may receive, through the EXTERNAL application of heat to same. These, in this particular condition, will be better even than the sun's rays. While sun is efficient, this is centralized more in these plexus.
11. As in the matter of the diet, these must be of the nerve and blood building, as we may keep a better ratio between the white and red blood cells; for the tendency of an increase occasion in the white blood NUMBERS shows the manner in which the system itself attempts to meet those strains as have and do exist in the body. We would follow these rather closely; that is, as the treatments, or manipulations and adjustments and the applications are made, we would check rather closely on these, as to positions. Ready for questions.
12. (Q) How much outdoor walking should she take?
6-1 Page 3
(A) When treatments are begun in earnest, where the applications are made as for change, not TOO much; not too long on feet at any time, or else we will undo what we are attempting TO do.
13. (Q) How often osteopathic treatments? (A) In the beginning, when the real adjustments are made in the system - and the POSITION of pelvic organs and the changes IN the system are being made - osteopathic treatments should be at least every other day, and every other treatment AN adjustment. Be sure the HEAT is applied - wet heat - to the body before adjustments; also that the body RESTS in position when and after the treatments are given, for at least two hours. Then be bound or bandaged before the body is on feet.
14. (Q) What treatment for itching of vulva? (A) This may be of a local treatment, or local nature. This, however, is rather from the pressure than from an EXTERNAL force that may be applied. May be best internal, see?
15. (Q) How often and how long ultra-violet treatments? (A) These should be at least days BETWEEN the osteopathic treatments, and from three to five minutes. MOSTLY near that of the brachial plexus, for the change in the heart's action and for the stimuli as comes from this region.
16. (Q) Should she take sun baths and swim? (A) These may be taken occasionally, but not too much stretching of the body; unless in the proper direction - unless she wants an operation!
