1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions; also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body. You will answer any questions I may ask you regarding same.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here.
3. Now, we find there are those existing conditions that bring about the improper reactions in the physical forces of the body. These are specific conditions, and there are resultant effects that apparently are causes; yet the greater portion of that causing distress is the reflex conditions as are produced by other existent conditions - though the condition or result has existed for such a period there are organic disturbances that must be dealt with also.
4. These, then, are conditions as we find them existent in this body, [348] we are speaking of. First:
5. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, here we find the effects of improper elimination, and the disturbance as created by poor elimination, and by disturbed circulation - that that may be called short circuit circulation.
6. In the elements as are existent in the body - in the blood supply we are speaking of - especially from this condition is an over-acidity in the system, as well as much of the refuses of body improperly taken from system.
7. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, this we find kept rather at a high tension, produced by non-activity of portions of the nerve reflexes, and by the poor condition existent in blood supply, as well as of specifics that cause much of the disturbance in the functioning of organs. These are seen especially in the upper portion of the solar plexus ganglion, as well as that of the lower cardiac ganglion. This gives the improper reaction through the functioning of nerve impulses to the organs as are affected by such misdirected impulse, as is seen from an over-acidity there is existent in the pyloric, as WELL as cardiac end of
348-1 Page 2
stomach - ONE in the lower end, or pyloric end, of laceration. In the upper or cardiac end, rather that of ulceration. These are, as yet, not OVER large in area; yet unless the condition is corrected we would have the ulceration extending, and possibly CLOSING the orifice of stomach proper. These conditions produce, or ARE produced from the condition existent in the lumbar and dorsal, or dorsals regions, as are outlined. The condition being that of the ulceration, and of laceration, bring improper conditions to the digestion when entering the intestines, and those of the blood forces become impoverished by same. Hence the portions that are reflex and the conditions as disturb functional portions of body, and of the depleted blood supply - tautness of nerve system, and inability to digest properly, even when careful diet is exercised by the body physically. The functioning of the organs show these conditions exist: As is seen reflexly to the eyes, as bother the body at times. The condition as exists in the mouth proper at times. The condition exists in throat, and the EFFECT as produced upon the eliminations, especially through the alimentary canal, and the disturbed circulation; as that seen in the extremities of the body, in the hands, as irritation - in the lower limbs - as that of form of tetter, or eczema, or of rash in the outer portions of the skin.
8. To meet the needs of these conditions will require considerable patience, and - most of all - persistence in the correct way and manner, would we [if we would] bring normal conditions for the body. These, as we find them, would necessitate CHANGING in the directions for correcting the conditions; that is, the effect need not so MUCH attention until that PRODUCING same is taken care of, save as to the nerve and blood stimuli for the system while the corrections are BEING made. Then specific conditions to meet that not taken care OF by the full correction of that PRODUCING or causing the condition in the body.
9. Be careful of the diet while these applications are being made for the correction. Do not partake too heavily of meats. Do not eat WHITE bread. Rather that that is taken should ALWAYS be toasted and brown, and whole wheat or rye bread used. Do not take too much potatoes. Plenty of the JUICES of meat may be taken, so long as not much or little of the flesh is taken. No fish may be taken, not well for the body, and especially no shell fish. A little stimulant of wine and iron may be taken, but little that produces any of the alcoholic effect in the body.
10. Correct those improper incentives from nerve ganglia in the 2nd brachial plexus, or the secondary cardiac plexus -
348-1 Page 3
the upper plexus of solar plexus, or at the 8th and 9th dorsal, and that at the 4th lumbar, osteopathically. Do not attempt to make the full adjustments at ONCE! These should be treated at least six to eight times, even, before adjustments are attempted - and use those vibrations from the Double X Radium Appliance for the blood and nerve actions of body.
11. When these have been carried out at least twenty-eight osteopathic treatments, and at least five ADJUSTMENTS, osteopathically, then we would give that for the better correction. These may be brought to normal. Do not worry over the condition, but do not forget that it may become serious.
12. As for the condition existent in the eliminations through alimentary canal, with the corrections osteopathically we will find near normal conditions, but it would not be well to attempt to prevent these eliminations through these channels to be absorbed - the poisons from same - back into the system. Correct the impulses. Correct the conditions - and ALL the water that is taken should have at least a pinch, occasionally, of elm bark in same. Well, too, that every few days several glasses of Yellow Saffron Tea (mild form) be taken by the body. Do not indulge in alcoholic drinks, or that that produces same - though wine and iron may be taken for the body in moderation - see? Ready for questions.
13. (Q) Is there anything in diet that should be eliminated or added? (A) Use the diet as we have outlined! If it compares with that taken (which it does not!), alright. IF it doesn't, then remove those things from the diet and add others to take the place of same, as we have outlined. Follow that as given. All manner of vegetables, of course, other than that given to be left out, see?
14. We are through for the present.
