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 he has submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes.
3. Now as we find, disturbing conditions in this body may be said to be both general or constitutional as well as acute.
4. These then have a source of disturbance in the general health and body-replenishing forces of the system, as well as by the specific disturbances that are acute - with or combined with the general disturbance.
5. We find that these arise from lack of proper coordination in the eliminating system, caused by disturbances as we shall see - of both a functional and of what may be termed a static nature.
6. Then, these are the conditions as we find them with this body, [1772] we are speaking of:
7. In the blood supply we find the indications of the lack of eliminations - that is, properly distributed; as well as toxic forces which arise from too frequent acid conditions existent throughout the activity of the assimilating and eliminating system.
8. Thus we have the inclinations for uremic reactions; and through the subluxations and general impoverishment to the organs of the sensory system, and disturbance with the organs of same - as in the eye and auditory nerves.
9. These have become more acute in the optic forces owing to the very nature or position of the subluxation in the cervical and vagus centers area.
10. These have produced the inflammatory forces to both the sockets or lids AND the eyeball, as well as a strain upon the optic nerve itself. And these cause then the form of granular disturbance to the eyelids, as well as to the cornea and to the filament about the eye and the filling of the lachrymal duct that causes the oiling or the flow of the
1772-1 Page 2
lymph through the duct to the eyeball itself.
11. All of these become a part.
12. Then, as indicated, it is a constitutional as well as a specific disturbance.
13. These as we find may be MATERIALLY aided, if there are the proper precautions and the proper applications for aiding.
14. The general conditions, as indicated, affect the digestive system; and - with the general disturbance which has been for some time a part of the disorder - the gall duct and liver area, as well as the fullness in the lower hepatic circulation, as well as the glands through which the activity from the flow from the kidneys is a part of the general disturbances from conditions which existed long, long ago - and a part of an old stricture is a part of the disturbance.
15. As we find then, in making for better conditions, a general as well as a specific application would be the more beneficial for this body.
16. The first consideration is not to overtax or use the eyes under great stress or strong light, or too fine a print, or too fine a work that requires long usage of the eyes.
17. It is well to consider also the assimilating or digestive system, as will make for the producing of a GENERAL alkalinity through the body; stimulating those activities of the lacteals to a better coordination between the lachrymals and the acids in the lower portion of the stomach.
18. Hence after each meal, for at least a week, we would use a quarter teaspoonful of Alcaroid as a digestant.
19. Have osteopathic adjustments made in the Dobbins manner; the coccyx, the lumbar center or axis, and a coordinating of those areas especially where the subluxations exist in the vagus centers - both the cervical and the dorsal.
20. Set up drainages, as it were, by the manipulation; stimulating the activity of the glands around the throat and thorax, as well as those parts of the head and across the temple and to the nasal passages; so that the drainages from these will not be such as to cause greater quantities of acidity through the constant dripping as it were of the refuse to the passages.
21. These would be given about twice a week for three to four weeks, then a rest period from same of a week or ten days, and then MORE of the adjustments and manipulations - and greater will be the improvement to the eyes, to the digestion, to the nasal passages, and to the general
1772-1 Page 3
eliminations - if all of these are followed in the manner indicated.
22. Use a spray of a mild antiseptic, such as Glyco-Thymoline diluted, for nose and throat.
23. Keep the diet to a better alkaline reaction, and we will find greater improvement.
24. After there have been the first three to four weeks of the osteopathic adjustments, it would be well to use every other day - during the week or ten days of rest from the osteopathy - the low electrical vibration to the cerebrospinal system, as well as the head and neck and to the optics themselves, from the Violet Ray (hand machine, bulb applicator; though using the Double-Eye Applicator over the eyes; not too strong, and not more than half a minute at the beginning).
25. During the periods of the osteopathic adjustments and treatments, it is well that one or two high colonic irrigations be given in the Reilly manner, for the removal of mucous and the accumulations of waste through the colon area.
26. Do these.
27. Ready for questions.
28. (Q) Is a cathartic good for me? (A) Better if there is the ability to use oils AND enemas, rather than cathartics - because these tend to congest or to cause disturbance in both the upper and lower hepatic circulation.
29. (Q) Any local application for the eye condition? (A) Only a mild wash for same of mornings.
