Time of Reading 3:55 to 4:15 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., New York.
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. You will answer the questions she may submit, as I ask them.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1706].
3. Now as we find, rather there would be warnings given for the body respecting disturbances which have been a part of the experience of the body; and the effect these are gradually producing in the system - that may be in the present eradicated or corrected, and thus prevent greater disturbances later on.
4. Hence those things as we find that would be the more beneficial would be the protective or preventative influences - from the inclinations and weaknesses that arise from conditions which have existed.
5. These then are the conditions as we find them with this body, [1706] we are speaking of, present in this room:
6. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY OF THE BODY, here we find conditions very good save where, in portions of the side, there has been the effect of scar tissue from external injury; that at times shows the lack of the proper activity of the glandular forces as related to the secretions of those forces which prevent a great quantity of building up of scar tissue.
7. These as we find have gradually begun, through the pressures upon the soft tissue, to make inroads into the activity of the soft tissue; as in portions of the lung and a part of the lower pleural cavity.
8. We do not find these showing other than an infectious condition, or of the nature that there is the lack of the glandular secretion sufficient to remove the tissue in such a manner that the system may be builded to normal conditions.
9. IN THE NERVOUS SYSTEM, here we find the body very good in
1706-1 Page 2
most respects. But through those areas where there have been and are those inclinations for the pressure upon the sympathetic or superficial portion of the circulatory forces, the conditions become at times rather aggravating, - in that the body becomes aware OF organs in their functioning.
10. And this inclination at times tends to upset the digestive system; especially at the periods of activity, and the inclination for the formation of conditions wherein - through the very activity of the nerve forces - if there is an overactivity of the mental or the physical body - the excesses of the acid, as produced by the activity especially with the condition in the blood supply, upset the body as to eliminations and as to the ability of the body to obtain rest PROPERLY through the nerve reactions.
11. These then, as may be indicated, are SYMPATHETIC conditions to the general reaction, as we find.
12. IN THE ORGANIC FUNCTIONINGS OF THE BODY, brain forces as we find respond nominally, as do the reflexes; save as to those awarenesses which become indicated at times to the conditions through the side - where the injuries have been.
13. Through the throat, bronchi, lungs and larynx - we find, as indicated, that the organs themselves here are not involved; though there is the awareness at times of the lower portion of the pleural cavity being in the condition of not AT EASE - though not diseased!
14. This is the natural consequence of those effects of the overacidity produced by the conditions indicated.
15. In the heart's activity we find a near normal balance. The metabolism of the body we find near to normal. There is at times the quickening of the pulse, but this is NOT a condition other than sympathetic from the nervous reactions of the body.
16. In the digestive forces we find very good reactions save as indicated - that there becomes a reflex activity from the overnervous conditions at times - during those periods when the nerve reactions produce some little upsetting.
17. As to the activity of the organs of assimilation and digestion - spleen, pancreas, liver; all of these we find near to their normal reaction when the general conditions are considered.
18. The overnervousness, with the activities of the digestive forces being disturbed at times, produces a TENDERNESS in the areas about the gall duct - but no disturbance of a nature that could be said to be organic in its nature.
19. In the eliminations as related to the digestive forces
1706-1 Page 3
we find some little bit of upsetting that at times causes some disorder.
20. But all of these disturbances should be included in a part of the correction by the general activity of the system in adjusting itself.
21. Coordinations between the upper and the lower hepatic circulation are very good, though with the excess of acidity there becomes at times an excess of the uric acid force or influence in the body.
22. Hence the awareness or the feelings as of a heaviness through the lower portion of the abdomen and through the pelvic areas; and across those areas along the small of the back.
23. With the correction of the other conditions, we find that these should of themselves be corrected.
24. IN MAKING APPLICATIONS FOR THIS BODY, THEN, AS WE FIND:
25. We would use the Hydrotherapy measures as combined with the Low but High Frequency Electrical Vibrations for the body.
26. If these would be taken twice a week for the first few weeks, then once a week for the next four or five to six weeks, we find that they should make for those conditions which would bring about a near NORMAL body in regard to these disturbances.
27. In the application of the Hydrotherapy and the character of same needed, we find that there should not be such DEEP manipulations as to make for any great changes, but ESPECIALLY the areas from the 9th dorsal to the upper portion of the cervical area would be the PARTICULAR areas for not adjustments but MASSAGE; while those through the lumbar AXIS would need the corrections, so that there is not this heaviness nor the activity as to cause a disturbance from the improper balance through the hepatic circulation.
28. The character of electrical forces, as indicated, would be of the LOW form but of the HIGH FREQUENCY; and these should be about once a week applied - while the general manipulation and the full hydrotherapy treatments would be about twice a week, as indicated.
29. Do these, and we should bring the normal forces for this body.
30. Ready for questions.
31. (Q) Is the sinusoidal the electrical treatment referred to? (A) No; it is rather as indicated, the low current of the high frequency machine - it's applied with the hands!
32. (Q) May anything be done to strengthen eyes so as to prevent wearing glasses? (A) These as we find will be materially aided by
1706-1 Page 4
corrections through those portions of the dorsal and cervical area, as indicated. But each individual should gain this understanding - that the repression upon the nervous system, as there is the activity or the use of the organs, necessitates often that there be helpful influences through such - when there is the close activity or use of the organs of the sensory system. These treatments or applications as suggested, however, will materially aid the whole conditions to the head and throat - or to the sensory system.
33. (Q) Anything abnormal in the uterus? (A) No thing ABNORMAL, as we find, considering the general condition of the system. As indicated, there is an excess of the uric acid in the system that at times produces some irritation in the area, when there is an excess of activity or the attempt of the body to adjust itself to the overamount of acid. But with the adjustments indicated, with the corrections through the use of the high voltage - or the high FREQUENCY and the LOW activity - these should make for corrections in these directions.
34. (Q) Is there any inflammation or anything in the way of a sore in the lower part of the body? (A) None that would not be corrected with the use of those influences or things as we have indicated, as we find. There are IRRITATIONS, but these should respond to those applications indicated. The greater DISTURBANCE to look for is in the pleura! Do these, and as we find we will bring the better conditions for this body, [1706].
35. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file (See extra sheet of directions [which was enclosed] for Dr. Mary Miller, to whom we would refer you for these treatments suggested. Her address is 205 W. 57th St., New York City.) .)
