Time of Reading ... Ave., 10:30 to 10:45 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. New York City. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, in the office. We have the body, [1169].
2. As we find, while there are some disturbing conditions in the physical forces of the body, those applications as in a preventative manner would make for corrections in those influences and forces that disturb the body; thus enabling the body to produce a normal balance and cause better reactions throughout the physical forces of the body, [1169] we are speaking of.
3. THE BLOOD SUPPLY, we find there are indications or tendencies of a catarrhal condition that exists through the alimentary canal, extending at times into the digestive and assimilating forces.
4. These in their activity upon the NERVE FORCES OF THE BODY produce a tendency for an unbalancing in the equilibrium, or a nervous reaction; as well as a nervous reaction in the activity of the digestive forces. Not as paralysis agitans, not as palsy, but a nervousness and a laggardness to the lower extremities. And those conditions in the shoulders and arms, and those produced in the exterior forces upon the skin in portions, are the effect or the result of these disturbing influences in the nature of these disturbances through the alimentary canal and partly in the colon and in the lower portion of same more specific, even extending at times to the glands in the lower portion of the body.
5. Hence we find that applications that would aid in making for those corrections in these portions of the body will create a near normal balance throughout the whole forces.
6. In the nerve forces, as indicated, there are the effects at times from these pressures and irritations, or the tendency for the adherence because of the lack of proper lymph flow; creating a disturbance between the sympathetic and the superficial circulation.
7. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, as we find, brain forces are very good.
8. The activities in the sensory forces are hindered in
1169-1 Page 2
their response, especially in those conditions that arise from a catarrhal condition through the circulatory forces of the body; as in eyes, ears, throat, and the lymph functioning through these.
9. Lungs, heart and larynx: The lung forces of the body make for periods when there is s fullness and a shortness of breath, but these are those conditions as to the general reflexes in the circulatory forces - as in the heart's reaction.
10. In the digestive forces and activities of the liver, the spleen and the pancreas, with the natural inflammation or disturbances that produce at times inflammation, there are those tendencies towards the creation of too great a quantity of sugar - that makes for a reaction through the kidneys or the lower hepatic circulation. But these, as we find, would correct themselves.
11. The prostate and those activities in same will also respond to the general treatments, as would those in the lower limbs and in the feet themselves. All of these are as a portion and make for reflexes from those disturbances as we find indicated.
12. IN MAKING FOR THE CORRECTIONS, THEN:
13. About once a week we find the body would do well to have the fume baths, preferably with iodine as a fusion that would make for its activity over portions of the body. Not raising the temperature of the body to too great an extent. We would take these with the light baths, yet not the full strength or not raising the body temperature above that of about a hundred. And the fumes from Atomidine or Tincture of Iodine (the Atomidine preferably used as a fume), or as vapor settling upon the body, will make for a reaction to portions of the system itself.
14. Following same we would have a thorough rubdown with salt and rum, and then a cleansing of same or a closing of the pores after this thorough rubdown or massage with the alcohol would make for those changes that would revivify, making for more activities in the body and relieving those stresses and strains and making for particular adjustments in the lumbar area and about the coccyx end of the spine, as well as in the feet and lower limbs and specific adjustments should be made in the upper dorsal and through the cervical area. Not just merely cracking the segments, but rather a muscular reaction with the bursae or the plexus between each segment in these portions of the body.
15. The diet as it has been outlined for the body is very good; though we find that if the elements that go to make up the bodily functions are balanced somewhat better we would
1169-1 Page 3
make for better reactions through the whole of the digestive system, enabling the body to rest much better.
16. We also find it would be well for periods of a week at a time to use the Radio-Active Appliance each day; it would make for strengthening of the body. Attach same as the body is ready to retire, for an hour each day for a week; then rest from same a period of a week and then apply again; or when the body is tired and worn from the mental and physical activities of the day, the Appliance used during the mid-afternoon will make for rest and recuperative forces. Keep the anodes clean or polished, and attach to opposite sides of the body.
17. But have at least a month or two months of taking the fume sweats once a week, and the thorough rubdown.
18. In the balancing of the diet, do not have too much of sweets with starches. Have the sweets rather with the meats, as of fowl, fish and lamb. Not too much of red meats at ANY time, nor any fried foods. Keep an equal balance in the leafy and the pod vegetables; preferably three of those that grow above the ground to one below the ground.
19. Do these and we will not only make for better conditions in this body of [1169], but prevent many a disturbance later on.
20. Ready for questions.
21. (Q) How often should the osteopathic treatments be given? (A) They are not osteopathic; they are rather of the massage nature, taken when the fume baths or rubdowns are given. These at Reilly's would be very good.
22. We are through for the present. Copy to [1113] " " Ass'n file
