1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [287] - this we have had before.
2. Now, as we find, while the body may be said to be on the improve from that which has caused disturbances in the physical forces of the body, as we find, were there some changes in those things added, and some others added, there would be the quicker recuperation for the disorders.
3. As we find, through cold, congestion, worry, and the combination of these, there has been produced a contraction of those centers in the system (cerebrospinal centers), that in their reaction in part come from the disorder produced there some times back, that has made as for seared conditions that have not wholly been removed or grown out. In its reaction, though not wholly that of the specific condition, is as of scar tissue in the cardiac end of the stomach, and in the end of the aesophagus itself, from poisons. [White lead poisoning, or colic? See 287-7.] Hence as these contract, there is that reaction as of a pressure on the diaphragm, and of an engorging of the stomach, and a shutting off of the breath - see?
4. Now, that as has been applied in the manipulative forces to relax the body, is well. Been very well done. [By A. V. Benedict, D.O.] They may be taken now less and less.
5. But if we will add TO the system those properties that are somewhat soporific in their nature, and that will work with not only the direct disorder itself but which reacts through the system, or portion of system so disturbed directly, these will be helpful - as was used before, and as given. That of Yellow Saffron tea, taken two, three, four times a day - teaspoonful, see? and olive oil. The action of these upon this portion of the system is to make for the activity of the gastric juices as are set in motion by the taking into the system ANY property, whether that of just the saliva of spittle or of water, or of food, to make that
287-10 Page 2
in the portion of the system react that will meet the needs, or supply the needs, of FITTING that so ENTERING the stomach to the needs of the body! See? Alright! With the taking of the oil, that is as food to the lining and to the muscular forces of the whole of the intestinal system, and that of the Saffron - which is soporific in its reaction to the activity OF the system, then these combined - though, of course not taken together, for the oil will be taken two times each day, while the Saffron will be taken three or four times a day - teaspoonful; olive oil, teaspoonful morning and evening.
6. Also the sweats as given for the capillary circulation, so that there is a reaction from the internal circulation to the external circulation, or the central circulation to that of the capillary circulation; so that the poisons are ridded from the system. The conditions will improve faster. Do that.
7. Ready for questions.
8. (Q) How often should the sweats be taken? (A) Once a week or such matter, whenever there's a feeling that one is needed.
9. (Q) How often should the osteopathic treatments be taken now? (A) Once or twice a week. Twice a week at first, until these have begun to act - and then once a week.
10. (Q) What can be done to create lasting improvements? (A) As has been indicated, that must of itself be absorbed in the system, and that portion of tissue so disturbed that reacts again, and produces contraction in this portion of the system, replaced - as it were - by new tissue. Keep UP these, as have been outlined, and occasionally go through the whole general course, that these may be replenished - and the body isn't as young as it once was, and it's longer in replenishing.
11. (Q) Any advice regarding diet? (A) Follow that more along the lines as has been. The diet, though, has been very good. Beware of the meats, but as much of the green vegetable forces as the body may take.
12. That is all the questions regarding this body.
