1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here.
3. Now as we find, these are rather conditions regarding which the body should be warned, than such disturbances that need correction. Preventive measures are needed, rather than correction of any great illness.
4. These disturbances have to do with the circulation, the eliminations and the assimilations of the body; though the greater distress with the body arises from a glandular disorder.
5. These then are conditions as we find them with this body:
6. First in the blood supply - we find a tendency towards a form of anemia. This, combined with the general disturbances as we shall see, causes weakness as a reflex action in some parts of the body. These are the greater disturbances, though there are specific disorders that will be overcome with the correction of the general system - these in their major aspects would be brought near to normal coordination.
7. In the activities of the nerves - here we find specific centers that need attention, owing to the impoverishment of the circulation. These especially are indicated in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd cervical, with the 2nd and 3rd dorsal. These are the primary sources. And if there is a coordinant activity between the nerves and muscles and supply areas to the general digestive forces, it will aid a great deal in strengthening the body forces. With the strengthening of these, many disturbances will disappear.
8. These should include, then those things that have to do with the correcting osteopathically of the areas indicated, as well as in the lower dorsal and through the sacral and
1695-2 Page 2
the ileac plexus. These will reduce that disturbance existing in the circulation between the heart, the liver and the lung area.
9. This disturbance also makes for periods when the kidneys are affected unless there are great quantities of water taken, and there should be taken at times great quantities.
10. But at least once a day, three days a week, do take watermelon seed tea as a part of the water. This would be prepared by pouring a pint of boiling water over a tablespoonful of watermelon seed (ground or cut) and allowing it to steep. Let it cool, then strain and drink. This will clarify those conditions that cause reactions in the kidneys and bladder, for, the lack of eliminations and the slowing up of the circulation causes a greater quantity of drosses to be held in the system, and these need to be eliminated from the body.
11. More will be eliminated through using this stimuli for the kidney activity than in most any way.
12. But it is well that the osteopathic treatments be given that there may be the better throwing off of the poisons from all centers, and the stimulation in corrective measures for cleansing the glands. Thus the irregularity of the heart's activity may be reduced and bring for the body much better strengthening influences in same.
13. As to the activities of the functioning organs - there is shown great discernments, accomplishments in that the entity itself knows. But don't be a "know it all." But know to keep that which will keep the body physically and mentally in the correct relationships one portion of the body to the other.
14. More of the activities of the organs - as heart, lungs, liver and kidneys - are reflexes, rather than being organic disturbances. The administering of the properties to act directly upon the organs will give the body more of the disturbance than exists in the present. But if there will be the osteopathic correction, and the purifying of the glandular forces, we may build the body to a normal reaction through the organs.
15. First begin, then, with taking internally one drop of Atomidine in half a glass of water each morning before breakfast for five days in succession. Then leave off five days. Then take again for three days.
16. Then begin to have the osteopathic adjustments as indicated, in the area of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd cervical, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th dorsal, the lumbar and sacral axis. All of these then should be coordinated; not too deep a treatment in the beginning. Set up drainages that have been
1695-2 Page 3
set in motion by the excess of the iodine (from the Atomidine) in the system.
17. Then take also, when you begin with the adjustments, the watermelon seed tea, that we may cleanse the kidneys. Flush them good. And we will rid the body of the irritating of the nervous system as related to the bladder and to the activity of the kidneys.
18. These, with normal reactions, will tend to build the body back to near normal conditions.
19. We would add the vital forces to the body as may be had from taking each day at least one quarter teaspoonful of gelatin (Knox Gelatin). This will strengthen the body. Don't begin this until the glands are purified.
20. Then take at least once each day the vitamins B-1. Do not take A.
21. Do take D and G, but these more in the foods than supplementing in the combinations. These will bring better forces to the body; that is, in the food values take sea foods, fowl, a little lamb; not other meats. Plenty of carrots, beets, onions, lettuce, celery. Take plenty of these throughout the periods.
22. Do leave off some of those sedatives or some of those drinks or foods that have carbonated water.
23. If there is something needed for rest, use the Radio-Active Appliance - and you'll go to sleep, and it'll be real sleep!
24. Do these, if we would have better conditions for this body.
25. Ready for questions.
26. (Q) From a physical standpoint, are my present surroundings at my work favorable to me or would you recommend a change at present to a higher altitude doing part time work, say in a resort hotel? If so, please give suggestions as to place, etc. (A) These you have to make favorable to self, wherever you may be. If you make up your mind that they are unfavorable, all the favorable things people would say couldn't change. If they are unfavorable, you may make up your mind to make them favorable. You can change them to be what you wish.
27. (Q) From a physical standpoint, are my present surroundings at my home favorable to me? If not, what suggestions would you make? (A) These you might apply in the same way. Of course these are hard to deal with, but if you make up your mind you're going to - you can change them - any of the home folks - better than they can change you!
28. (Q) Do I suffer from angina of the heart or any other
1695-2 Page 4
HEART ailment. Please answer YES or NO. I sincerely want to know if I have a HEART AILMENT. If not, what causes the pain around my heart and down my arms? Would digitalis in small doses be helpful to me? (A) No. You're going to give it to yourself though if you keep on taking Phenobarbital!
29. (Q) What osteopath would you recommend to carry out these treatments? (A) Either of those that you would choose. For this condition especially, though, we would give Irvin.
30. (Q) How often and how many should be required? (A) In the first series we would take about ten, and about twice each week. Then we would rest from these at least three to four weeks, and then take six to ten more.
31. (Q) Should I continue taking any of the following? (A) (Interrupting) take all of them if you want to, but we have told you what to take!
32. (Q) What causes the soreness which I have had at times at the end of my rectum? (A) This comes from the sphincter nerves. When there are the adjustments this should disappear. Should it still continue, use an injection to clarify the general condition in the lower portion of the sphincter nerves: Usoline or Nujol..............1 ounce, Glycerine (in which 2 drops of Carbolic Acid has been stirred).....1 ounce. Stir in thoroughly, and this means thoroughly stirred - not just shook around. Use this as an injection with an ear syringe.
33. (Q) Do my eye-glasses need changing, and if so, should I return to my old eye doctor? (A) We would not change until after at least the first series of adjustments have been made. Then return to the same eye doctor if you like - this is very well.
34. (Q) Are my teeth O.K. - that is - free from infection? (A) Some need local attention but nominally very good.
35. (Q) Is beer (or any other alcoholic beverage) harmful to me? (A) Read all we have given.
36. (Q) Is there anything I could do to help my mother? (A) If you'll help yourself you'll help your mother the most. Let the attitude of the body be ever in that way of helpfulness for others. This is the best help for yourself. For as ye do to others ye are doing to thy Maker.
