1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [268]. Now, we find there are MANY conditions as disturb the physical forces of the body. Some of the conditions, as we find, would disappear were the causes or the seat of the trouble corrected. Then, we have conditions that are as reflex conditions, and conditions that are causes or the seat of trouble. These, in their inception - or the causes, were as minor conditions in the beginning, but in the EFFECTS produced some have become of a specific nature. Hence we will find, to give causes and conditions, much of a history of the conditions for a period would be necessary, but WE give conditions NOW as we find them, causes as specifics.
2. First we had an abnormal condition in the metabolism of the body. This produced by the hindrances as existed in the cerebrospinal system, until deficiencies in glands were seen, as existed - do exist - and existed more in other periods - in the thyroids, in the adrenals, in the supply of blood forces THROUGH the glands in assimilation. These deficiencies BEGAN by the inactivity in IMPULSE from blood supply received from the conditions in the cerebrospinal system. The results or effects as have been produced - a state of nerve depletion through the whole of the system, as seen in sensory system - eyes, ears, nose - especially in the soft tissue, and a RESULTANT effect as came in throat and glands of same - a resultant effect from a catarrhal condition existent from same, producing an intestinal disorder of a highly acid state. THIS affects directly, then, those centers from which blood supply is obtained in bone or structural portions of body, which hinders in the sinew, the bone, and in the soft bone or marrow itself, in places. Also the effects as are created in the general system. Then, these conditions are, as we find, more a RESULT - and NOT the cause. The cause being from conditions in PELVIS region, in the lumbar center especially, where a circulatory lesion produced there causes those effects or
268-1 Page 2
depressions of a highly nervous disorder, with pressures also existent in the upper dorsal region; this of a lateral nature, causes those conditions oft which, WITH the UNBALANCING of body, brought about the disorders as exhibited.
3. In meeting the needs of the conditions, as to bring about proper corrections for the body in a normal manner - to treat or to medicate one PORTION of the EFFECT produced, is only to alter the conditions without any PERMANENT relief, and is to CHANGE the condition from one portion of the body to another; for the blood supply being abnormal, there must be considered first the source of rejuvenation. To supply foods or properties in the body for assimilation, and there being a specific condition of infection, is to either localize and produce a plethora condition or an activity as to cause conditions later on that would be of a nature that would be globular in reaction, or to produce organic disorders by overstimuli, as to make an organic disturbance later that would be more harmful.
4. Then, we must begin with the basis or the cause of the condition - and add that to the system for the AIDING the conditions in the body - rather than those as would be contrariwise, or as would produce counter-irritations.
5. These, then, would be the manner in which we will find we may bring - WITH consistency and PERSISTENCY - a nearer normal condition for the body, but to begin and only take a portion, or to begin and take part of that given, then discontinue, will not be helpful in ANY sense to the body - for the last estate must be worse than the first, if we are to LOCALIZE conditions or if we bring about such an effect as to make some of the conditions become acute in body.
6. Then, we will find, we would set up DRAINAGES in the system by the use of properties taken - both as to diet and as to stimulate more eliminations through alimentary canal, that stimulates all of the organs of excretory system, not overtaxing kidneys nor liver, but using those of an alkalin nature as to change the assimilated forces, so that - with the added conditions for the body - we will ELIMINATE that ABOVE normal, so as to take poisons OUT of the system; then aiding the system by the application of the Infra Red AND ultra-violet, both - one as a destructive force to those superficial forces in the circulation, the other as a stimuli in the bone or structural portions of the body, as to be nerve, blood BUILDING for the body, as RESISTANCES may be builded up, producing the proper coordination of the conditions assimilated, of the conditions as are made for the eliminations, through the manipulations and osteopathic
268-1 Page 3
adjustments for the body, as will bring about the better coordinations. Ready for questions.
7. (Q) What should be done for fallen stomach, gas, and nervous indigestion? (A) Just as we have outlined; that is, that there is proper consideration given to the body as in reference to producing an alkalin state in the system. This would be done by the using of those oils - as much as will be assimilated by the body - the olive oil, of the very BEST. Be sure that it does not become rancid in the system. We would take at least a small sip - half a teaspoonful - every two hours, for at least TWO MONTHS - every two hours that the body is awake take it! or until it's assimilated all that it may. Each day - a tablespoonful of Milk Of Bismuth one day - Milk of Magnesia the next day - and then an antiseptic for the intestines, in that of the Glyco-Thymoline, at least five drops in water, on the third day - see? with the olive oil being kept properly through the system. The manipulative forces, AS they are made, will be made for the stomach proper to be HELD in position. The manipulations will also RELAX the body along the cerebrospinal system, as to overcome this nervous depletion - as will be NECESSARY for corrections in the lumbar region, and for the pelvic organs themselves.
8. (Q) Is there infection where impacted tooth was removed? (A) When the circulatory forces in body are RELIEVED, these will NOT be as of infection. Any condition with as much congestion existent in a body, as in throat, as in pelvis, as in stomach - all are seats of infection, and throw poisons in the body, at times. Hence the condition as has been outlined, that we take first those as to set up DRAINAGES in system, through the properties as taken in medicinal forces, also as to those manipulative measures, and the usages of the ultra-violet - which would be given at least twice each week for that of the respiratory system, and for the effect as it will create in the nerves themselves proper. The Infra Red would be taken at least twice each week, but NOT on the same days that the others are taken, see? The manipulation should be given twice each week, and only ONE of those of a CORRECTIVE nature - and be sure that the lumbar and the upper dorsal are relaxed with wet heat BEFORE such corrections are made. Only make these a small portion at a time.
9. (Q) Why constipation? What remedy? (A) We have just given it! Just do that! We have covered that!

10. (Q) Should bridge be changed? (A) First let's correct the CONDITIONS in the system, as outlined! Either do as we have given or suffer the consequences! We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n office " " Research Department " " Cayce Hospital
