Time of Reading 4:20 to 4:35 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., N.Y. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [470] this we have had before.
2. As we find, there are many various changes in the physical forces of the body since last we had same here, and in most respects we find conditions very good.
3. But as we find there has within the last three moons been something of - not an accident but a jarring of the body in such a position, as from jarring or stepping too heavy, that has caused in the lumbar and in the coccyx area a pressure to the lower circulation that prevents as fast return of the circulation to the torso portion of the body as it should.
4. Hence we find periods when there is the inclination through the feet and ankles for there to be slowed circulation that produces some swelling.
5. This as combined with the old inclinations for those tendencies for the activities of the lower hepatic circulation, as combined with inclinations of the activities of the pancreas, unless corrected may cause some disturbance that would become much more aggravating than in the present and much harder to combat.
6. As we would find, then, we would have - osteopathically - those corrections made in the lumbar axis, in the sacral, and remove the pressure in the coccyx area; carrying same through the lower portion of the sciatic centers, especially under the knee and to the feet and the bursa of the feet themselves.
7. This should not require a great number of these to see a vast difference.
8. Then, for the period of some three to four weeks, once or twice a week add to the diet the Jerusalem artichoke; that there may be the reaction to the upper hepatic circulation and through the liver and the pancreas; those reactions of the assimilated properties from same that would aid in correcting these inclinations and tendencies.
9. Do these and as we find for these particular disturbances
470-18 Page 2
the conditions will be much improved.
10. Ready for questions.
11. (Q) Please review all organs of body, and give condition of same. (A) As we find, the brain forces are very good. The activities of the glandular system are very good save as related to those inclinations that have been indicated through the pancreas and the activities of the kidneys or the adrenals - or those glands above the kidneys. The heart's activity is very good, though this change in the pressure makes for a hardness upon the circulation; and there needs to be those activities as indicated. Lungs, throat, bronchi, larynx are very good. Digestive system, the assimilations of the body, we find very good. The activities of the liver and the relationship to the organs of the lower hepatic circulation are disturbed as has been indicated.
12. (Q) What should be done for dry hard skin on right side of right foot? (A) Let's change the circulation by the manipulations as indicated, and correct those pressures in the lumbar axis, the sacral and the coccyx area. Then also the stimulation from the ganglia or centers along the sciatic nerve, especially those associated with the knee and the bursa of the feet.
13. (Q) What can be used on forehead to clear up skin condition? (A) When we change the activities of the liver and the kidneys, we will find much of this condition will clear.
14. (Q) Does the small red mark over the right eye come from the same cause? (A) Comes from the same cause.
15. (Q) How often should the manipulations be given? (A) About twice a week until there is the perfect alignment, or six to eight to ten such adjustments and manipulations. To be sure, coordinate the upper portion of the system, or set up drainages to the whole of the alimentary canal; but make the corrections in the feet, ankle, knees, the coccyx and especially in the lumbar axis.
16. (Q) Any other suggestions? (A) These we would do for this body in the present.
