1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [263].
2. Now, as we find, while conditions are not so well in the present as when we had them here before - if there had been followed those suggestions we find that there would have been a much better change for the body.
3. In considering the conditions as we find that exist in the present, the greater portion now arises from the effects of an overtaxed nervous system - by adhesions and lesions in the pelvic organs. And the ASSOCIATE activities of these make for a great deal of the irritation, the antagonism, the destructive forces as related to the digestive system, the quick pulsation, the headaches that are so violent at times, the bearing down pains in the lower portion of the pelvis, the limbs aching at times, lack of sufficient blood supply. All of these are the effects of the conditions. And unless there is a reduction in the sedative forces that have been taken, we will have not only a plethora condition that would require or necessitate an operation for the correction in the pelvic organs, but also as related to the digestive system. [See 263-21 Reports 12/12/61 Three-fourths of stomach removed, etc.] As we find, operative measures are not necessary in the present - IF these applications such as we suggest will be applied for the body:
4. We find that first there should be precautions taken respecting the general diet of the body; which should CONSISTENTLY contain principally those foods tending towards an alkalin-reaction. Not that there would never be eaten any meats or even the acid-producing fruits or vegetables; but the GENERAL diet should be more and more alkalin - less quantity of sugar, more and more blood and nerve building.
5. Also we find that to reduce or change the conditions it will be necessary for at least twenty-six treatments through the good OSTEOPATHIC manipulations and adjustments in not only the cervical but dorsal and lumbar areas, with the
263-3 Page 2
adjustments in the sacral, lumbar, lower dorsal and throughout the cervical area. Have the manipulations at least twice a week until twenty-six, at least, have been taken.
6. We would also find it most beneficial, at least once each week, for the body to use the Atomidine douche; a teaspoonful to a quart and a half of tepid water. This will remove the irritations in the vagina and the pubis, and those irritations about that portion of the system where there will be the tendency for the adhering tissue, the irritating tissue, to become near normal WITH the adjustments and manipulations.
7. For the stomach and abdomen we would use a support, as the stomach is still not in a correct position and makes for the tendency of accumulations of foods that do not digest properly and ferment without digestion. An elastic would be much preferable, though the binding or dressing cloth would be well.
8. Do these, we find, if we would bring better conditions.
9. When the severe headaches occur (for these periods will continue until sufficient of the corrections are made), rubbing the feet and knees - or from the knees down - in hot mustard water will be MUCH preferable to taking the sedatives. If a sedative is to be taken, a milder form would be MUCH preferable - such as may be had in the Painodyne or such natures; these carry less of habit-forming properties and are less violent upon the heart's activity through the gastric flows or the cardiac plexus in the system, and less upon the activities of the liver and spleen. One of these should be sufficient, but take them as SELDOM as possible. It is necessary that such be administered under the supervision of a physician.
10. Ready for questions.
11. (Q) Do I need glasses? (A) They will be helpful; as will also the use of the Atomidine for the gums and a wash for the mouth - used in half-strength for the mouth, to relieve those conditions that arise from the nervous forces of the body as well as the acidity in the system. Gargle the throat and rinse mouth with same at least twice each day, preferably after brushing the teeth and using the Ipsab for the gums.
12. (Q) Is this condition pyorrhea or trench mouth? (A) More like Riggs' [Rigg's Disease] than either, but it is a combination - we might say. This arises, though, from the general condition in the system. The corrections, with the local attention as indicated, will relieve this.
13. Do these, or you'll be sorry you didn't!
