Time of Reading 11:20 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Pa. (FIRST PHYSICAL SUGGESTION)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body here - this we have had before. Now, in the physical conditions as exist in the body at the present time, while disturbing in many respects, were those conditions as have been given as respecting the body and that to bring about proper corrections of these disturbances, considered, there would be seen that the body physically and mentally would be in a very much BETTER condition than we have had at other times when these conditions or physical forces have been seen. While there is an accentuation of nerve suppressions, and of the nerve conditions in system, until at present, with the accentuation in some directions and some centers, it gives - as has been seen before - very much of a condition bordering on nurasthenia [neurasthenia]. These in themselves are better than they have been at other times. To get the more perfect understanding, possibly, for this body's conception of existent conditions and of those as have been seen and given, it may be well to review some of these for the body:
2. In the condition as existed in times back where so much suppression was brought about by anesthesia, operation, change of nerve ends by the action of those conditions bringing about functioning of the organs in the pelvis and in the abdomen proper, these have not wholly - as has been given - been set in a nominal way of forming perfect coordination through the system. The lesions as have been given that exist in lumbar and sacral region, while much improved - and the adhesion ALMOST broken up, this - through the exercise that brought about the accentuation - brings pressure and disturbance to the central nerve system. Hence the variation in the character of disturbance as are brought to this body, [1713].
3. Now, we have those that have at times back affected the eyes. Now we have those that are giving more trouble to the throat and the region there. These are reflexes, following along the same line, or the same branches of nerve ends that find accentuation in various portions of the system,
1713-15 Page 2
particularly in the throat and in that portion of the throat that causes stinging, burning at times, and the continual feeling of soreness; yet no indication from the throat itself proper of such conditions existent. Purely nerve reflexes, coming from branches of the hypogastric and pneumogastric plexus as radiate from adhesion that exists in the 2nd lumbar region, see? as it was for the eyes. Well, though, for the eyes, that the glasses be looked after again.
4. In those conditions as exist in pelvis, the condition wherein the body feels tired, weak, when special exercises are taken - at times when arising of morning all fagged out, rather than rested - walking good at times, and at others tires the body; all of these conditions are PURELY REFLEXES, and not disturbances other than the improper coordination between cerebrospinal, sympathetic, nerve system; while, as we had in the beginning, these were affecting direct the organs in their functioning. Now, as we find them, not so much the affection, as the effect of nerve reflexes THROUGH the functioning of the organs; such as in various portions of the system.
5. Then, to meet the needs of the conditions at the present time:
6. Well that the body CHANGE scenes as much as lies within the abilities of the body.
7. Keep manipulations osteopathically for the body, and use those vibrations each evening as would come from the Radio-Active appliance; OR the Radium Pad. Either of these, with this condition, would be beneficial. See? It is easier, of course, to add the Radium Appliance (Double X) across the lumbar region; with the osteopathic manipulations, or keeping proper adjustments and the proper stimulation for the LOWER portion of the body for the distribution through the upper plexus that come about the radiation of the exterior portion of nerve centers from the 1st, 2nd lumbar, 10th, 11th, 9th, 8th dorsal, the whole cervical region, once to twice each week; keeping exercises as were FIRST given - the swinging of the body night and morning when lying prone. These will assist the body in gaining the proper distribution of nerve forces in the system; wearing the pad for at least ninety (90) days, and the directions as to charges every day should be adhered to. Do that. Ready for questions.
8. (Q) Is my diet alright? (A) Diet very good. Necessarily, this is to be changed from time to time.
9. (Q) How often should the osteopathic treatments be given?
1713-15 Page 3
(A) Once to twice a week.
10. (Q) Are olive oil massages good? (A) Very good, especially if they be made over the abdomen and these regions, so that the whole of this region may be brought to better assimilating and coordinating through the body, see? Well, too, for the body to get married. These conditions that arise from this would be well for the body, with these corrections made. Not until these are better coordinating though.
11. (Q) Are my teeth in good condition? (A) Better than they have been before. These need to be looked after from time to time.
12. (Q) Why am I losing weight? (A) Most of it is worry.
13. (Q) Is milk good for me? and am I drinking plenty of it? (A) When assimilated, good. When not, not good. This is to be governed according to the conditions as they arise in the system. Beware of too much acids. No apples. Other fruits are well. Nuts in season. Much of that which carries iron, and PLENTY of iodine for the system. Not too much potashes. Not too much of the Irish Potatoes - these are not as good for the system as other vegetables.
14. (Q) Why do I break out in a sweat? (A) Improper coordinating of nerve forces. Follow the instructions as we have given, and we will find better conditions coming for the body. Do that at the present time. We are through for the present.
