Time of Reading 10:50 to 11:05 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. New York City. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, Miss [1522].
2. Now as we find, there are disturbing conditions; yet the suggestions here as we would give would be more in the direction for corrections that may prevent further disturbances - and the inclinations.
3. Rather than so much of disease, it is dis-ease in the present.
4. These then are the conditions as we find them with this body, Miss [1522].
5. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this indicates - from its activity, its irregularity, and the pressures produced between the circulation of the lungs, heart and liver - that there is a source of toxic poisoning.
6. And there is in many periods excess acidity.
7. These as we find arise from inclinations and tendencies in the structural portion of the body; and the effects that are created through the activity of the colon, the lack of eliminations, the disturbance at times with some of the glandular forces of the system.
8. The source we find arising from subluxations in the structural portion of the cerebrospinal system, especially in the lower portion of the cervical, almost THROUGHOUT the dorsal, and the lack of coordination of the lumbar axis with the reflexes from the 9th dorsal plexus.
9. IN THE NERVOUS SYSTEM, naturally, these pressures produce the inabilities of the body to rest well, or the inclination towards insomnia because of the very pressures upon the nervous system as related to their coordination between the sympathetic and cerebrospinal systems in the areas indicated.
10. The greatest subluxation as we find is in the 2nd and 3rd dorsal area, and pressures in or throughout almost the whole of the cervical area.
11. And the lumbar axis is so disturbed as to make even the pelvic balance to be shifted, especially on the left side.

12. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS OF THE SYSTEM, because of the nerve disturbance we find the inclination for the upsetting of the assimilating system at times; the feeling of a fullness after meals, as of a gas formation; lack of proper elimination; distention in a portion of the colon area itself.
13. THEN, FOR THE CORRECTIONS:
14. We would have at least six to ten osteopathic adjustments covering those particular areas indicated. These would be taken about twice a week until six or eight or ten are taken.
15. About two or three weeks apart we would have a high colonic irrigation, to remove the toxic forces; until at least two or three are taken.
16. Occasionally, about two or three - possibly four times a week we would take a quarter teaspoonful of Alcaroid after the heavy meal of the day; the period it is taken and frequency depending upon just how severe the gastric flow appears.
17. As we find these will remove the inclinations that are causing disturbance in the heart or blood pressure, the toxic forces, and allow the body to sleep much better.
18. Do these.
19. Ready for questions.
20. (Q) What diet should I follow? (A) A well balanced diet, but not such a severity as to unbalance or not to work with the changes being made in creating the correct balance in the alkalinity and the acidity of the system. Hence in the diet we would keep about a twenty-percent acid-producing to an eighty-percent alkalin-producing diet. Beware of mixing white breads, white potatoes, spaghetti or macaroni, any two of these at the same meal. Beware of too much of the sweets, especially until there is a full cleansing of the colon. The sweets taken should be preferably honey or its products. Plenty of fresh fruits, fresh vegetables - these would be well.
21. (Q) What is the best laxative to use? (A) This should vary with varied experiences. As we find, if those manipulations and adjustments are taken as indicated, also the colonic irrigations, a laxative will not be necessary for some time. If it is necessary later, take preferably the vegetable compounds rather than the mineral - for the body.

22. (Q) Would you recommend Dr. Dobbins [Frank P. Dobbins, D.O.] or Dr. Miller [Mary A. Miller, D.C.] for the osteopathic treatments? (A) Dr. Dobbins.
