Time of Reading 3:25 to 3:50 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Virginia. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1079], present in this room.
2. As we find, there are disturbing conditions in the physical forces of the body. These, as we find, are the effects of distraughtness in the nervous system by impingements or pressures in portions of the cerebrospinal system. And the reaction of these to the functioning of organs, as combined with this deflection as produced by the pressure, is to cause great disturbances at times - and those conditions that are as a portion of the disturbances.
3. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [1079], we are speaking of, present in this room: First,
4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, we find, as through those pressures that have been indicated that exist in the cerebrospinal system in the axis of the lower lumbars, there has been produced a taxation that has caused a deep circulation more active than the superficial.
5. Hence the eliminations becoming disturbed, we find those organs as related to the activities of assimilation have become disordered also.
6. Thus we find that there are toxic forces carried in the circulation, and a torpidity in the liver - and those activities of the gall duct or gall bladder area itself, where there have been and are accumulations from a non-activity, cause sediments rather than gallstones. However, these may make such an accumulation, unless there are those properties taken for the dissolving of same; or unless there is the relieving of those conditions in the nervous forces of the system, that make pressures upon the reflexes of nerve activity, these may cause still greater distress.
7. These, as we find then, are the EFFECTS of this disorder or disturbance in the lower lumbar plexus. Hence we find at
1079-1 Page 2
times that not only the lower limbs but the lower portion of the abdominal areas give a great deal of distress, or a fullness - as well as those occasions, that have been had heretofore, through the reactions from the lack of coordination in the sympathetics to the face and the muscles of the neck and face, when there has been produced a contraction in the muscular forces. This also arises from these SYMPATHETIC conditions.
8. And if the causes of same are removed, then we would find that not only would there be no recurrent conditions but there would be the absorptions and the drainages set up for the system - in the general eliminating and the general reaction for the assimilating and excretory forces of the functioning organs - so as to remove the distresses. Hence gradually there would be brought the much nearer normal conditions.
9. In making the effective applications for the activities of the body, the various conditions that have existed in the ORGANS of the body must be taken into consideration. And in making applications we will find there will be periods when there will be something of a reversal to the old order of things, with days or periods when there will be the feeling as of greater distresses; but these would gradually be met and a much better condition brought throughout the body. For we would have those applications internally and externally that would create a normal balance and an equilibrium between the cerebrospinal system and the sympathetic circulatory forces, especially in the areas where the subluxations have existed or caused these distresses.
10. So, not only would the digestive forces and those accompanying conditions be aided, but those tendencies removed for the accumulations in portions of the system of cysts that have at times formed - that make for a pressure that is not good, and which would eventually give disturbance and distresses unless the causes of these are also removed.
11. We will find also that the activities that may be made by the applications in these immediate conditions will gradually make for bringing the better relief, the removal of causes; also the consequences then of distresses would gradually be removed.
12. As we find, then, we would first begin with the deeper manipulations that would be osteopathically administered, in SPECIFICALLY the lumbar and coccyx area. To be sure, coordinate each application or adjustment or treatment to the centers where the various organs receive their impulse for their activity as to drainages; not only to the
1079-1 Page 3
alimentary canal but to the respiratory system, the perspiratory system, and a stimulation for those activities in the kidney area.
13. In the varying applications it would be found that there would be periods, owing to the responses of the body, that SOME of these areas would not be disturbed or made to become the greater active; that is, as in the solar plexus and the brachial center. But coordinate these AS conditions make their responses to the general corrections necessary.
14. Also, for the general assimilating system, we would take the properties found in what is called Alcaroid; two or three times a week, preferably after the heavier meal of the day.
15. And then once or twice a week we would take the Caroid and Bile Salts tablets, for the cleansing of the colon, the activity of the gall duct area, the creating of the proper secretions for the emptying of the stomach itself. These, WITH the manipulations (and do not take one without the other), would tend to make for a cleansing of the system, so that the whole of the toxic forces are removed.
16. Then the body responding to those stimulations from the various centers that create a balance in the circulation would bring about the nearer normal forces.
17. In the matter of the diets, keep away from excesses of starches. To be sure, some starch must be a portion of that for the necessary balancing of the forces in the body. Let it be rather from the tuberous nature of the vegetables, however, but NOT the Irish potato! However, the jacket of the potato may be a portion of the meal some two or three times a week.
18. Do not use rice; though whole wheat, barley and such may be as a portion of the diet, in that it carries a gluten that is not only purifying but is of such a nature in its blood building that the activities from same become in the body the warriors against incoordination in the circulatory forces of the body.
19. Do that.
20. Ready for questions.
21. (Q) What causes swelling in stomach and face? (A) As indicated, it is from - primarily - those subluxations that react sympathetically through the incoordination between cerebrospinal and sympathetic nerve forces! - or vegetative nerve forces' impulses to activities of the organs themselves. So, as there is an excess in the deep circulation as in relationship to the sympathetic or superficial, we find this
1079-1 Page 4
effect would come and go - in the body's attempting to adjust itself. Hence it arises from those toxic forces that are created by this attempting of balance in the circulatory forces. Follow these suggestions, then, as indicated; and we will find these disturbances will be overcome. Preferably the manipulations and adjustments would be taken twice a week for two or three weeks. Then have a rest period of a week or two weeks. Then have another treatment period. And then a rest period of a longer duration. Then another treatment period, etc. This is much preferable to a CONTINUED reaction. For it allows the body, then, to readjust itself. And at those periods when the reactions are taking place, so that there is the stirring up of the system - as it were - and the poisons being thrown out in the body, with the toxic forces causing some little dizziness or some more extreme activity for the eliminations, it would be well that enemas be taken for the evacuations of the colon itself. Thus the toxic forces may be prevented from causing the headaches or the dizziness that may arise. This would also relieve those tendencies for accumulations of gas and pressure in the left side towards the heart and colon.
