1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [251] and those conditions physically that disturb the body.
2. While there are many disturbing conditions, the body is eased in the reactions at the present time.
3. As we find, there are specific conditions that disturb the body. These are aided by, or in the present a result of, a combination of disorders; for in times back - or fourteen months back - there was an injury to the spine, in those centers that are affecting - and do affect - the activity of the eliminations from the system, especially that related to the caecum and to the colon area.
4. Then, with a tendency already existent of a strangulation in the area - from pressure produced in the LUMBAR area at presentation or birth of the body, there has been made an adhesion in the area; so that - when there is a filling up or a dilation in the caecum and ascending colon - there is a COLDNESS that exists, which interferes with the coordination between the sympathetic and cerebrospinal nerve reactions in the lower portion of the cerebrospinal system.
5. This brings about those spasmodic conditions that produce to the whole system an improper reaction, as to make for the disorder that is existent. See?
6. As to the activities of this (that is, the incoordination): The pressure exists specifically in the 8th and 9th dorsal area, and acts upon the draining or relieving of the pressure in the lower portion of jejunum and in the first portion or caecum area of the colon. This may be found by holding the hand (when warm, of course) over the caecum area, and SEE the difference in the temperature of that particular area from the lack of circulation.
7. The condition in the dorsal area may be found by FINDING the alignment in the cerebrospinal area, and the effects
251-1 Page 2
are seen in the nervous system of the body.
8. With the conditions allowed to become near normal from the present attack, and the system's eliminations increased as to rid the system of the poisons or congestions from the sedatives that reduce the flow of secretions from the organs of the system (and these established to a near normal activity), we would then RELIEVE those pressures in the cerebrospinal system; the dorsal and the lumbar area, COORDINATING the same with the cervical and the activities to the brain forces.
9. We would give small doses of Bismuth, or Milk of Bismuth, to cleanse the system and STIMULATE the activities of the nerve forces from the dorsal area disturbed to the congested area; and we will bring a normal condition for the body.
10. There will be at first some recurrent conditions, or attacks, unless the body is kept in an excess of eliminations through the alimentary canal; but these will be found to be less severe - and in six to ten weeks the body should be rid entirely of that which causes or produces the disturbances.
11. Ready for questions.
12. (Q) How is best way to make these corrections? Osteopathically? (A) Necessarily, ADJUSTMENTS must be made - but these must COORDINATE with the properties taken in the system to PRODUCE the proper functioning of the membranes in the digestive and eliminating system. To be sure, they should be done osteopathically.
13. (Q) What doses of Bismuth should be given, or Milk of Bismuth? (A) This should be given certainly not until after there is some recuperation from the PRESENT condition, see - but the dosage would be a teaspoonful three times each day. If necessary, use enemas to relieve the pressure in the colon. The diet, to be sure, must be that EASILY assimilated - but must be well-balanced, that the strength, vitality and virility of the system is kept in normal development; for the body, to be sure, is in the DEVELOPING stages.
14. (Q) Please outline a diet as it should be. (A) In the present there should be given strained oatmeal, with beef tea or juice, dry milk, and that which will act with the kidneys in THEIR proper eliminations - or those properties that will be carried in the JUICES of vegetables rather than too much of the BULK, at first.
15. (Q) Should the osteopathic treatments begin right away? (A) In the next twenty-four hours anyway, as soon as there begins those reactions from the sedatives that are apparent
251-1 Page 3
at present.
16. (Q) How can he be relieved at the present? (A) He's RELIEVED at the present. With the CONGESTIONS that come back, from the recurrent conditions - which will be in the next twelve to twenty-four hours, then we would begin with the REMOVING of the pressure in the sacrum, in the dorsal, and ESPECIALLY in the lumbar area as indicated. But, the CONGESTIONS that come - or contractions - are seen in the cervical, and caecum, and lower portion of the dorsal and lumbar area.
17. (Q) Have the doctors' treatments been of any benefit to the child? (A) They have been of benefit for the immediate condition, but not for permanent relief. They have rather hindered than aided.
18. (Q) How did the accident referred to occur? (A) From the child leaning far back when someone was holding it in the arms! and if the body is held in about that position it will be seen as to where the condition occurs - 8th and 9th dorsal area!
19. (Q) Any spiritual advice to the parents? (A) Keep in that attitude that there is and may be done that which will bring coordination in the physical, the mental and spiritual being of this body; and there IS being that aid given through the application of that outlined to bring the best conditions for the body.
20. (Q) Which osteopath in Norfolk would be the best to treat this body? (A) Richardson! [Martyn L. Richardson, D.O.]
21. (Q) How long should these treatments be given, and how often? (A) As will be seen, it will be necessary to follow this rather by how EASILY the adjustments are made - and as to how well the system cleanses itself from those STRAINS it HAS undergone, and that it must for a time still undergo until those strangulations are removed - that are produced by the congestion in those centers, of pulling up on the sides, see? for they are as strangulations. As to the number of treatments, this will depend upon how READILY the body responds - and how the BUILDING is required. This may be followed best by the one giving the treatments. If necessary, treatments should be given EVERY day - until the body is relieved - which would require a lesser period; than they may be made farther and farther apart - which would cover a period of some thirty to sixty days. See?
22. (Q) Any further advice regarding this body, or to the parents?
251-1 Page 4
(A) Be mindful that these are followed in the manner that has been outlined, for the better conditions for this body, [251].
