1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1143].
2. As we find, there are disturbing conditions. While these have caused and do at times cause disturbances, these have been rather - from the very nature, as we find - gradually the disturbing forces or factors. However, the effects that have been created have been and are rather of the subtle nature; affecting the circulation, making for a disturbance through activity of the organs of the body in a sympathetic manner.
3. Hence we have had oft reflex conditions, considered or thought to be the direct causes. Hence these changes that have come about from time to time have been alleviating, yet there has been a gradual reoccurrence of the disturbances through the body.
4. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [1143] we are speaking of, present in this room.
5. FIRST, IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY OF THE BODY, this we find at times is deficient in the numbers of the red blood cells, as well as at other times a strain or drain upon the body for the activities of the white or leucocyte plasm through the system.
6. While this may not be called true anemia, an anemic condition exists or is an effect that is produced through portions of the system by some portion of the bodily functioning system becoming lacking in the elements for the proper balance of the blood supply through the system itself.
7. IN THE NERVE FORCES OF THE SYSTEM, here we find that this impoverishment to the circulation rather PRODUCES the effects upon the nerve system, than being produced by a relative relation IN the nerve system. Yet there are, as we find, specific disturbances that do at times make for a
1143-1 Page 2
strain upon the nerve forces themselves.
8. IN THE ORGANS OF THE SYSTEM, from the very nature of the disturbances in the assimilating forces of the body, we find this impoverishment at times causes to the sensory system the high influences; that is, the senses of smell, hearing, the eyes, the touch, at times become involved in the conditions; so that there has been at times the necessity for specific reactions to the sensory forces. Yet, as we find, these are more of a reflex nature than of a direct disturbance.
9. The throat, bronchi, lungs and larynx in their reaction to the circulatory forces of the body, considering the general condition, are very good.
10. In the heart's activity, the very nature of the impulses through the circulatory forces is to make for an alternating pulsation; or at times very much weaker than others, at other times quite fast but not so strong, at others - in the general activities of the body and the attempt to create a balance - near normal.
11. In the digestive forces of the body do we find the seat or the basis of the disturbances.
12. In the first the natural position of the digestive force or the stomach itself has been a disturbing factor, at times producing in the very nerve forces - through the strain upon the system - an aggravation to ALL of the nerve forces of the body; but as a reflex.
13. Also we find that at times these have caused or produced a condition where the lack of the proper gastric flows to the activity of the organisms has produced, does produce, disturbing conditions in the organs - in their functioning, in the manner in which there becomes an excess of acidity through the system, the disturbings in the eliminations from the body and in those activities of the circulatory forces through same.
14. Hence we have a SMALLNESS of the organ itself, that - as well as with the position - has made or does make for the greater distresses through the body.
15. Reflexly the organs of the liver, the spleen, the pancreas, become at times sympathetically active. The eliminations through those activities of the duodenum, the pancreas, with the activity of the gastric juices of the liver, become sympathetically involved. However, if these conditions and those activities of the very glands themselves of the body were brought to an action such that there would be produced the proper gastric flow, the proper assimilations for the body, much of these conditions that have disturbed in these directions would be eliminated from
1143-1 Page 3
the system.
16. For when these conditions or poisons arise naturally from the poor assimilations through the digestive forces, they produce toxic forces in the blood stream. Hence we have an effect of the extremities or portions of the body becoming very slow in their circulation - or coldness in portions of the body; at others we have sort of a tremor, at others the very opposite from these - as of a heat in portions and a smothery feeling through the breath itself, in the changes that come about.
17. IN MEETING THE NEEDS OF THESE CONDITIONS, AS WE FIND IN THE PRESENT:
18. First we would begin by a corrective measure to the 3rd, 4th and 5th dorsals, where the nerve impulses - that have become deadened - act with the sympathetic forces of the body itself in holding, as it were, the muscular forces of the organ that shows an incorrect position. Such treatments we would have done first osteopathically, manipulations AND corrections, you see. Specifically the corrections would be in the upper dorsal area, you see, osteopathically; about three times each week.
19. Also we would have a stimulation with the proper activity of the vibratory forces of the body, as would be created by the low electrical forces in the wet Appliance carrying Gold into the system for the correct vibrations for the glandular forces in their activity. The attachments would be made to the body at least every OTHER day, for thirty minutes at a period - not longer; and in this manner:
20. The first attachment, of the smaller copper plate (the positive), would be to the 3rd and 4th dorsal center. The last attachment, of the larger nickel plate (the negative) with the hollow lead tube passing through the Gold solution (one grain Chloride of Gold to half an ounce of distilled water, or two grains to an ounce - or that proportion; using about six ounces of the Gold solution, which should last for a period of at least twenty-eight days before recharging with the low electrical forces), would be made to the umbilicus or lacteal duct area.
21. Hence these corrective measures, with the stimulations from the vibratory forces of the metal influence, should bring for the body the proper balance in the system.
22. We would also use the support for the areas as indicated.
23. Do that.
24. Ready for questions.
25. (Q) How long should this treatment be kept up? (A) For at least two or three charges of the Appliance.
1143-1 Page 4
26. (Q) Should I continue with the present diet and treatment? (A) The present DIET is excellent. Some of the treatments, as we find, would NOT work so WELL with these applications as suggested here; but when these become NECESSARY to be taken, very well. But we will find that would not be necessary after these treatments suggested here have been fully begun. Until these are all begun in regular routine, to be sure, keep those applications being used.
27. (Q) Any particular kind of support suggested? (A) That which has been indicated is very well, but keep same.
28. (Q) What causes the continual backache? (A) Those nerve reactions from this constant strain. You see, with the body in activity, there tends to be a pulling on the nerve forces and the muscular forces that support the organs - see? Hence their reflexes are crossed; the lower portion of the dorsal and through the lumbar area. They are REFLEX conditions. Hence the application of the vibratory forces from the massage and corrections, you see, should make for coordination in all portions of the cerebrospinal system. After the fifth treatment with the applications and Appliance, these should be very much lessened and soon disappear.
29. (Q) Will this condition be completely cured and how long will it take? (A) This condition will be COMPLETELY cured if those suggestions in their fullness and in coordination one with another are kept up. And this should be cured, as we have indicated here, in at least three to six months; it should be entirely eliminated and the body-building forces, the resistances in the system gradually built up. For the application of the Gold is to create nerve energy and impulse through the system itself, and thus give the more vitality. Thus greater opportunities will be offered for the mental and spiritual forces to give expression.
30. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file (See letter [which was enclosed] with direction to Osteopath.
