Time of Reading 1:20 to 1:40 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. New York City. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1052].
2. Now, as we find, there are disturbances that prevent the normal functioning, the normal activities through the physical forces of this body. These, as we find, are rather of an insidious nature, causing effects that produce disturbances in the functioning of organs; more specific in the sensory forces, but producing a reaction also in other portions of the body.
3. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [1052] we are speaking of:
4. First, IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, we find there are indications of disturbances in the mucous membranes of the head, and that the nature of same is catarrhal. Then, by the form of resistances made by the nature of the disorder upon the mucous membranes, there is a drying condition which has existed, does exist, through the antrum and the nasal passages. Thus disturbances are caused that make for an effluvium in the blood supply that produces distresses to the organs of the system that find themselves rather in the form of nervous reactions through the body. Through this same activity there is produced at times an upsetting in the digestive forces of the body itself. Thus periods are caused when there is some disturbance in the eliminations, by the very nature of these; producing a drying, as it were, through the alimentary canal, thus making for lack of the peristaltic movement through same. At others there is the reverting to those influences as to produce toxic forces of the nature that become gas forming; thus making for disturbances that arise from the same principal or basic cause that has been indicated in the soft tissue of the face.
5. IN THE NERVE REACTIONS, we find there is a disturbance produced through the centers or ganglia from which these
1052-1 Page 2
portions of the body receive their reactions from the cerebrospinal and sympathetic systems, in their coordinated activity. Thus impulses are caused that make for fears of the nature where the body - if peering over cliffs or large places - becomes dizzy; or certain characters of movements make for periods of nausea or of activity that produces fear in the very activities themselves of the system. These are rather nervous reflexes.
6. IN THE ORGANS OF THE BODY ITSELF, as indicated, the greater portion of the basis or cause arises from disturbances in the tissue of the nasal passages; and the antrum and the soft tissue of the head.
7. Hence we have an evolvement from same of a strain upon the Eustachian tubes themselves, thus producing to the auditory forces the responses that lack the proper coordination - or a tendency for the drying of tissue, or the keeping of an unbalancing. First the disturbance became apparent to the auditory forces by singings, or poppings in the ears. Now more and more there are those activities towards the LACK of their becoming coordinant; and sound as at a distance, or again as an OVERFLOW or a roar. These are the disturbances that arise from this conditions as we find in those portions of the system.
8. The throat, the bronchi and lungs and larynx, naturally from the very nature of these, we find tendencies for a circulation that becomes disturbed at times. Hence we find the body easily susceptible to cold or to change or to heat or to those effects of an over stimulating of a diet, as we have indicated from disturbances through the digestive forces. Hence an irritation or a rasping at times occurs from the cold that may affect the bronchi and the upper portion or a portion of the lung forces themselves. However, as we find, if these were removed in the present there would be prevented the inroads or the affecting of organs themselves in such a way and manner as to cause gradual disturbance. Yet it leaves a tendency, or the body is SUSCEPTIBLE to germ forces or natures that may set up themselves to become destructive forces by the inability of the blood supply to produce the plasm that would encase or destroy same. Hence we have those conditions both specific and of susceptible or bodily conditions of such natures as to become susceptible to exterior influences, or those effects of pollens or other conditions that make for these tendencies upon the sympathetic system - as indicated through the very unbalanced conditions as produced in the body.
9. Heart's activity near to normal, considering the general
1052-1 Page 3
conditions.
10. The digestive forces, as indicated, are upset from the influences of the flow; not only through the circulatory forces but by those tendencies of the assimilation or the flow of the mucous through the throat and those portions of the body to absorb or to take in particles that become destructive to the stomach tissues, or making for an involvement throughout the alimentary canal.
11. As to the organs of the digestive forces - the liver, spleen, pancreas and the activities of the ducts or glands that make for the secretions - these under a normal stimuli function near to normal; though distresses at times and tendencies exist there.
12. THEN, IN MAKING FOR CORRECTIONS, AS WE WOULD FIND FOR THIS BODY, [1052] we are speaking of:
13. First we would use those applications of heat as may be applied through the use of the nasal passages of the Elliot Appliance, that may make for an adding of those influences through such heat that will take away the abilities of those destructive forces - that arise from the catarrhal effect upon the system itself.
14. And then we would make for corrections in a nature where osteopathic administrations or adjustments would loosen those tissues where there are the effects upon the eustachian tubes. We would then find the auditory forces responding, as the balance of force is created in the body itself.
15. We find that there would be little necessity of medications internally, save those that may be of the nature that would be absorbing in their effect upon the body; as in very small quantities of Milk of Bismuth with Elixir of Lactated Pepsin that might be taken occasionally for their desirable effect that these will produce upon the gastric flow of the stomach itself. These would be taken only when there are those effects of a gastric flow that is disturbing to the system.
16. These do, and - as we find - we would bring near to normal conditions for this body.
17. As to how often, as to how long these applications would be made with the heat - until there is a dissolving of and eliminations are set up sufficient through the drainages established by the manipulative forces as to rid the system of the causes of the condition. And then once, possibly twice may be the necessity for the breaking loose of tissue that has become involved along the Eustachian tubes. These may not necessitate the full finger surgery activity, if the release is made by the heat - but sufficient of the
1052-1 Page 4
manipulations to set up a stimulation for proper drainages to be established from the sensory organs of the body, and the eliminations through the alimentary canal, the respiratory system, the activities of the hepatic circulation and the perspiratory system coordinated.
18. Do that.
19. Ready for questions.
20. (Q) Has previous illness at time back affected hearing? (A) Only made the body, as it were, more supersensitive to the effects of the condition that has for long existed there.
21. (Q) Please explain why hearing is clearer when riding in an automobile? (A) VIBRATIONS as are set up by any activities. Just as it is over the phone! The effect is upon the sympathetic nervous system attempting to carry those influences or impulses that are rather or more affected by the cerebrospinal impulse. This will disappear gradually. The manipulations, of course, will be from the upper portion of the 8th and 9th dorsal to the base of the brain.
22. (Q) Will the hearing be restored? (A) More than eighty percent restored from the disturbance in the present. It is now at about a sixty percent; so eight-five percent of the forty percent would be near to normal.
23. We are through for the present. Copy to [1052], ..., New York City, on 4/15/36 [See 1052-1, " " Ass'n file Par. R1.]
