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 which have been submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes.
3. Now as we find, the general debilitations which exist through the body, the lack of energies, the lack of the abilities for the functioning of many of the organs in their proper relationships one to another, are from nerve exhaustion.
4. Not that it has reached those proportions where it is one portion of the nerve force destroying the other, as in sclerosis, but rather pressures from poisons of a toxic nature throughout the system.
5. These as we find include toxic conditions which affect the liver, the spleen, the kidneys, and the GENERAL conditions through the body.
6. Also, through the pressures indicated in the areas about the upper dorsals, inflammation is caused to the eyes, or optic forces themselves, so that the inflammation in the lids and the granular condition appearing upon the ball of the eye come from a nerve exhaustion.
7. As we find, in making the better applications for corrections, there should be first a sufficient number of Colon Irrigations; not so often nor close together as to deplete the very vital forces of the body, but kept sufficiently often that there are no effects of toxic forces left in the system. These would be begun gently - not too much attempted at once - but about every three to five days apart, until there is little of the phlegm or the mass as will be indicated that passes from the colon.

8. When such Colonics are given, there would also be a stimulation of the nerve centers by gentle manipulation along the cerebrospinal system - the masseur rather than the gentle osteopathic treatment, in the beginning.
9. At least twice a day, for an hour, apply to the eyes the scraped Irish Potato - not the new or this year's crop, but the old Irish potato. This would be put right on the eyelid, (with the eye closed, of course), and then bound on for about half an hour to an hour. Afterwards the eyes would be cleansed with a weak cleansing solution for the eyes, that is antiseptic; this about the proportions used for washing a baby's eyes, see?
10. After there are no more indications of phlegm and such natures from the colon, THEN begin with osteopathic adjustments; that would stimulate the activity of the eliminations and CORRECT the lumbar and sacral areas.
11. In the matter of the diet - liquids and semi-liquids are preferable. Plenty of beef juices. Plenty of chicken broth, of course; and a little fish if broiled may be taken; and all the vegetables that are easily assimilated.
12. These as we find offer the better conditions for this body, [1963].
13. Ready for questions.
14. (Q) Who would be the proper doctor to give the colonics and the massage as indicated? (A) At Reilly's.
15. (Q) What osteopath, later? (A) Dobbins.
16. (Q) Is there a condition of diabetes? (A) This is more of a spleen and a reflex condition to the activities to kidneys and of the pancreas, than true diabetic reaction. DO NOT give the body insulin. Use rather the Jerusalem artichoke as a portion of the diet three days each week, at least. It is more of a splenic or splenetic condition than a diabetic.
17. (Q) Are watermelon and such things alright for him? (A) This is rather hard on the system, as it tends to make a reaction that is not so well; though in moderation it may be taken. Or if the Watermelon Seed Tea is taken, this would be better than the watermelon.
18. (Q) Are any liquers good for him? (A) No liquors.
19. (Q) Any tonic he should have? (A) Let's get the system in shape for a tonic before a
1963-1 Page 3
tonic would be indicated!
20. (Q) How much rest should he have? (A) He should have three hours each day, at least, besides the eight hours' natural rest at night.
21. (Q) How much exercise and what type? (A) Walking, and any in the open. It is as much WORRY as it is other things in the body's disturbance!
22. (Q) Should he be in Westchester County? (A) It's VERY GOOD!
23. (Q) What does the blood show? (A) The toxic conditions.
24. (Q) Any high or low blood pressure? (A) Tendency towards the low.
25. (Q) Is there any organic condition? (A) As has been indicated, the functioning rather than the organs - and blood and nerve forces, nerve exhaustion and eye strain. Do as has been indicated for the better conditions. Keep up the colonics until there is no show of phlegm or of such natures in the stool or the passage; using plenty of an antiseptic in the last waters; Glyco-Thymoline preferably. Do not make the osteopathic corrections until the system is in a condition to receive the better distribution of energies to the nerve forces of the body. Do those things as we have indicated.
