Time of Reading 10:35 to 10:45 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Virginia.
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, with suggestions for corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [584]; this we have had before.
3. As we find, in the general way conditions are very satisfactory.
4. Still, those tendencies and inclinations exist and at times cause some anxiety; regarding the activities of the pancreas, as related to the metabolism of the system, and the activity or effect produced upon the organs of the pelvis.
5. For, with the general debilitation that naturally arises from the condition as it saps the vitality from the body, there are periods of weakness and anxiety.
6. We would keep rather close to those outlines as we have indicated; making the artichoke a part of the diet at least once each week.
7. Now we would have some stimulation - no electrical forces, but rather the mechanical (that is, osteopathic) adjustments, now, as related to the sacral and ileum plexus; as well as the 9th - yes, to the 7th dorsal and downward; coordinating the upper dorsal and cervical areas with the adjustments made in the lower portions.
8. We would have these osteopathic corrections about once a week. Make about six or eight. Then rest from these a couple of weeks, and then take six to eight more.
9. Then, as for the general diet:
10. Keep away from any carbonated waters, save at times - or rather regularly - we would take a little Coca-Cola. This, with some of the activities in same, acts upon the kidneys to aid in relieving the tensions there.
11. Then keep the artichoke or its combinations as have been

used, though the artichoke is the preferable way of taking same.
12. Keep the better body-building foods - as not too much of the meat but the juices of beef if it is well cooked. CHEW same but do not swallow the meat so much. These prepared in stews or broths or the like are well.
13. Eat plenty of fish and fowl of all kinds.
14. No fried foods.
15. The vegetables should be those that grow above the ground, rather than those that grow below the ground.
16. Of course, do not take too much of sugars. Do not take fats. These are hard upon the system.
17. Do these things, if we would keep the better conditions for this body.
18. Ready for questions.
19. (Q) What is the cause of my feet itching and burning? (A) A disturbed circulation through the ileum plexus, as we have just indicated as necessary for correction to take the strains off the lower circulation, see? and with these corrections, osteopathically made, we will find these will be improved.
20. (Q) Do I have diabetes? (A) As indicated, these tendencies are here. The metabolism and the activities of the pancreas, as we have just indicated, show that there are tendencies in these directions.
21. (Q) Any other advice for the body? (A) Do these things, and if these suggestions will be followed we will find much bettered conditions for this body.
22. We are through with this body. Two copies to Self (one for Dr. M. L. Richardson) Copy to Ass'n file
