1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [360].
2. Now, as we find, there are specific conditions that are the result of a combination of disorders in the system. And the effects of these are in the disturbances of other portions of the system.
3. In times back we find there were some injuries to the body that at the time appeared to be the results of conditions in the system form dis-ease as from childhood, or from an infectious disorder - measles combined with other distresses. These in their state settled in portions of the system that hindered the circulation to portions of the body.
4. Later, from a contraction of a congestive condition in the body - or from that known as influenza, or the flu, there was an increased irritation to those centers that already hindered impulses and circulation from the general system to the specific centers in digestive area, and in those sensory reflexes to the head.
5. These, then, have gradually grown to be such as to impair the vision, through strangulation and irritation to the eyes. These active in a reflex manner make an impairment through the secondary cardiac plexus to the cardiac portion of the stomach. Hence an irritation that exists there. At times this causes greater distress through the manner in which there is produced this choking of the organ itself as to cause regurgitation from the duodenum to the stomach proper, as to cause overacidity - or an accumulation of hydrochloric fluids in stomach proper.
6. The reactions to the sensory system, and circulation to the head and eyes - optic nerve and the orb socket - are affected through the impingements and the activity of the circulation through the secondary ganglia, and 5th and 3rd nerve impulse to the head, as to cause at times more
360-1 Page 2
reaction in face than pain in the eye itself - save at periodical periods.
7. The centers from which we find these conditions arise are in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th dorsal plexus, in the 3rd and 5th cervical plexus - and in the 2nd cervical plexus do they affect directly the conditions.
8. As we find, these may be materially aided; while not relieving the condition in its entirety from the manner or character of the impingements to the nerves to the brain and through the optic centers - or wholly those that cause irritation to lids, these may be relieved to such an extent as to increase visibility to the body to at least seventy-five percent, and through the aid of lens and through the activities that may be kept, will bring a much more active and normal result or effect to the body.
9. The removal of these impingements in the same area as affect the heart's action, to the cardiac and secondary cardiac reflexes, will make for a much better enjoyment of the foods taken - and of assimilation in the system. And the general health will make for much easier conditions for the body.
10. In the beginning, then, we would first use those applications on that portion of the cerebrospinal system indicated, of mud - or mud made from Fuller's Earth, with an equal amount of oil to make it pliable or applicable to that portion of the system.
11. Then, with 3 to 4 ounces of Fuller's Earth, mix an ounce of Cedar Oil, that will be capable of being applied for at least two applications.
12. This, however, should be applied directly to the body itself; not in cloth, though a cloth may cover same; that is, the 3rd and 4th dorsal, the 3rd and 4th cervical, or reaching from the 2nd to the 5th cervical - see?
13. Apply this every other day until 10 applications have been made.
14. Then begin with OSTEOPATHIC adjustments for these portions of the system, these being made every other day for at least three or four weeks of treatments.
15. Then, in the second week of the osteopathic adjustments (not before), begin with the application of the violet ray anode directly to the eye.
16. Cleanse the eyes each morning with a weak antiseptic solution, that will cleanse the eyelids of secretions that will form from the continued stimulation to the circulation through the applications.
17. When the osteopathic treatments are given, there should be stimulation throughout the head and to the centers
360-1 Page 3
leading to the optic and auditory centers.
18. We would be mindful that the diets taken are those more easily assimilated, that consist of foods tending more towards an alkalin reaction for the system.
19. As we find, these will make for better conditions to the body.
20. When a full course has been taken of the Fuller's Earth and oil, as given, with the three to four weeks period of osteopathy manipulation AND adjustments - with the violet ray anode used as given, then we would have a rest period of one and a half to two weeks.
21. After the rest period we would give further instructions for this body, [360].
22. Ready for questions.
23. (Q) How long at each period should the mud be left on? (A) It should be applied in the evening and removed of morning, and cleanse the body.
24. (Q) Of what thickness should this be put on? (A) This quantity over these places will make for about an eighth to a quarter inch thickness, over these specific centers indicated. These will draw, and act as irritants sufficient to allow the circulation - with adjustments - to become effective in removing drosses, and in correcting the condition. Do this, and we may then give further instructions.
25. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " File
