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, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes.
3. Now as we find, while there are some disturbing conditions which prevent the better normal reactions, most of these would be rather as warnings to make the corrections now while changes are coming about in the body.
4. We find that these have to do primarily - the disturbing forces - with the incoordination in the eliminating channels. Consequently, with the manner of suppression of the nerve forces, there is a hindrance in the eliminating channels.
5. Much that should be eliminated through the regular channels of the alimentary canal, or the kidneys, or the perspiratory system, or the respiratory system, becomes - as it were - changed.
6. Thus we find there are disturbing factors in the cuticle of face and portions of the body where it is rough, or where there are excess blackheads, or an oily skin at times, or those activities that cause disturbance in all of these.
7. As we find, the primary cause lies in a subluxation, as combined with the changing of the glandular forces in the activities of the body as it HAS developed. Thus the changes wrought by the associations will ASSIST in making changes for the body.
8. These subluxations exist in the lumbar, sacral AND the lower dorsal area. These then affect the circulation.
9. Three or four GOOD, DEEP manipulations, taken first, should make most of the corrections.
10. AFTER the osteopathic corrections have been made, we would then begin with hydrotherapy treatments - that is, we would have the "whole works," as it were.
11. First we would have a Sweat, preferably not raising the
2072-2 Page 2
temperature of the body so much, but the FUME Bath as combined with the Dry Heat; and this Fume Bath with an equal combination of Spirits of Camphor and Oil of Wintergreen put in the water that would be boiled under the body so that the fumes of these would settle over the body, see? Put about a teaspoonful of each in a pint of water for this purpose.
12. Then have a THOROUGH rubdown.
13. These we would have about once a week until three or four are taken.
14. And THEN - not before that - we would have one or two (which should be sufficient) of the Short Wave Therapy - the Deep Therapy treatments.
15. Then, after a month, another colonic irrigation would be given. This would be a part of the general hydrotherapy treatments, you see; that we may cleanse the colon from those disturbances that are beginning to be indicated by the pressures through the subluxations in the sacral, the lumbar and lower dorsal areas, in the rectal area in the sphincter centers.
16. When the three or four general hydrotherapy treatments have been given, we would continue the Baths or Sweats. These may then be taken by self, by rolling into a hot wet blanket for fifteen to twenty minutes, AFTER having been rubbed thoroughly all over the body - face, hands and entire body - with Peanut Oil. Afterwards have a thorough rubdown with coarse towels, see?
17. Also for the rectal condition we would take a general exercise morning and evening - just a few minutes; raise self gently on toes, bending forward until the fingers touch the floor; raise the hands high above the head, still on toes, then reach for the floor. Then the general circular motions of the body, wit these, should reduce the conditions and bring the proper eliminations, proper coordinations of the circulatory forces , and improvements to the whole general forces of the body.
18. As to the diet - we find that the diet which has been a part of the experience in the present is VERY good. We would not change this a great deal.
19. Never combine fruit juices and cereals, however, at the same meal.
20. Fruits and nuts in their season should be taken, especially almonds and filberts.
21. Keep those things that have been used, only avoiding the combinations as indicated.
22. Do all of these in the ways as we have given, and we should very soon have and keep the body in the normal physical reactions, with greater mental and physical
2072-2 Page 3
abilities to express the spiritual influences of the body.
23. Ready for questions.
24. (Q) What diet (for this body) would give the greatest harmony of forces for further development of the Kundalini forces? (A) As indicated, these are very good and we would not change these in the present. We would change those conditions that exist as subluxations, which three to four of the thorough osteopathic adjustments in the area indicated should correct. Then we would have the hydrotherapy, and three to four of these should be sufficient; then the one or two short wave therapy treatments; then keep in the regular way as indicated.
25. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file (See extra sheet [which was enclosed] of directions for Dr. Dobbins.
