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 has submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes.
3. Now as we find, there is a complication of disturbances preventing the better normal functioning of this body.
4. These have to do with the glandular system as well as the nervous systems of the body.
5. Then, these are conditions as we find them with this body, [1855]:
6. In the blood supply there are the indications that there is inflammation through areas along the cerebrospinal system where, as we find, there are subluxations that tend to cause this to be a source of disturbance - especially with the pains in the head, the neck - and is a contributory cause to the complication through the glandular forces.
7. Those in the nervous system, however, cause the greater disturbance with the glands in the neck, while the glandular disturbance within the system as related to the eliminations of every nature, as well as the activity of the assimilating forces, are in the greater manner responsible for the weakness and those indications at times of a dizzy mental disturbance and distress.
8. In the functioning of the organs as related to the nervous disturbance - we find:
9. There have been injuries (external) in times back such as to cause subluxations to portions of the structural body, or a jamming of segments along the cerebrospinal system, - especially in the neck, or the full length of the cervical system, as well as in the upper portion of the dorsal area.
10. This, with the system attempting to function impulsively through those activities, has caused a great anxiety to the nervous system throughout the whole of the vegetative nerve
1855-1 Page 2
centers.
11. However, the lacteal duct and the liver area of the glandular force cause the lack, or the inactivity of the digestive forces and the slowing of the flow of gastric forces through digestive area; thus slowing up all of the active forces in the glandular system.
12. As we find, in making corrections here - we would apply the hot and cold water to those areas especially in the cervical and upper dorsal area; followed by a gentle neuropathic massage. These would make for the greater improvement in the releasing of the impulses through the activity of the nervous system, and thus reducing those violent headaches as well as the fullness in the throat and the glandular activity in same; and enable the body to care for the conditions as related to gums or mouth or teeth. These would be given by such an one as Backman - these corrections along the cerebrospinal system. In the beginning these would be necessary almost every day, you see.
13. Then, as for the activities of the general system:
14. AFTER the hot and cold water applications AND massage are given, AFTER the corrections are made, not before, - THEN we would begin with the very low form of the electrical vibration as may be had through the Diathermy. This would be the more beneficial, but not until there has been full correction made along the cerebrospinal system. This would supply, in a very low form, sufficient heat activity and impulse along the cerebrospinal nerves to make for the removal of those tensions which have existed by the changing or changed conditions when the hot and cold water applications and massage have been made.
15. The Diathermy treatments should be given, of course, under the direction of one who makes a specialty of such treatments, but they should ONLY be given of the very lowest form - for this body. The applications should be made to the gall duct plexus as well as the brachial center or plexus.
16. In the matter of the diet throughout - we find that the foods should be rather those that are well balanced in blood, body and nerve building. Use plenty of fresh, green, raw vegetables with the diet at all times.
17. Refrain from too great quantity of fried foods, or things that would create too much of an inclination for the producing of gas through the digestive forces, or the combinations of starches WITH greases.
18. Do these and, as we find, we may bring the better influences and forces for this body of [1855].

19. Ready for questions.
20. (Q) Is there a dental infection causing the glands in my neck to swell so? (A) Rather as we find, as indicated, it is a complication of old disturbances from injuries to head and neck and shoulders. Do these things as we have indicated, if we would bring the better influences and forces for this body.
