1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [992]. Now, we find, while the body in a general way and manner is very good in many respects, there are specific conditions and tendencies in the physical forces that were they corrected in the present might more easily be done now than were this allowed to become chronic, or for some unseeming condition to arise from the disorder that would make an ACUTE condition that would prove detrimental to the better physical forces of the body.
2. These, then, are the conditions and tendencies as we find them with this body, [992]:
3. In the BLOOD SUPPLY - This we find below the normal in the ability to create the proper formations for the better, or perfect, coagulations in the system. Hence abrasions.
4. In the NERVE SYSTEM - We find there are specific centers that are involved, from impingements that make for tendencies of a weakness in the muscular forces of the body, as indicated in the peritoneum, or in the walls of the intestines themselves - walls that HOLD the intestines themselves. These allow the folds of the walls to overlap, and give an easy access of there being hindrances in perfect activity through the intestinal tract, leaving poisons.
5. In those of a SYMPATHETIC condition, also we find there are the tendencies for a fullness in the upper portion of the body, through the lung and larynx area. Not that, as yet, that makes for irritation, other than as of spasmodic conditions and easy for congestion to form, which makes for those tendencies in the face and the soft tissue, with the conditions in the blood supply, to produce in the antrum, in the soft tissue of face and nostrils, those conditions that become aggravating, when there is shortness of breath, or when a little cold or congestion is seen. These, as we find, are from IMPULSES in the 4th, 3rd and 5th dorsal, and in the 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th dorsal. These would be corrected, as we find, through the OSTEOPATHIC manipulations
992-1 Page 2
and adjustments to such an extent as to allow the body to BUILD that muscular force as necessary to create a better equilibrium in the torso, as well as build for a blood supply through the proper setting up of drainages in the system as to overcome these tendencies. While these do not trouble the body except at periods, or that in the torso, when there is a strain or an over-activity of the body, either from cold or from too much heat - and the same is a SYMPATHETIC reaction in those of the head, face and bronchi.
6. In the manipulations, there will be found also that occasionally there will be the necessity of using those local applications as a cleansing force, either for the intestinal system or for the soft tissues or mucus-producing forces or system of the body. These will be met by one that would apply those corrections for the body. This done - there must be persistence, there must be consistence, but - it may be done PROPERLY, and the body be a near normal functioning organism, capable, able, to accomplish much in this experience. Ready for questions.
7. There will be the general manipulations, as well as corrective forces applied for these correcting conditions, see? There would be also the outlining of the diet by the one manipulating, see? For the proper blood NOURISHMENT, as well as muscular BUILDING forces for the body. This can BEST be done by one MAKING such adjustments, to make same COORDINATE WITH that being accomplished physically.
8. We are through for the present.
