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, we have the body here, [2309].
3. Now as we find, there are conditions the correction of which in the present would relieve a great deal of tension and disturbance, and prevent a great deal of trouble which may arise unless such corrections are made and changes are wrought in the conditions of the body.
4. These as we find, then, have to do with inclinations, tendencies and weaknesses which have existed within the physical force.
5. Then, these are conditions as we find them with this body, [2309] we are speaking of, present in this room:
6. In the blood supply we find indications of congestion through the system; that is, rather of the acute nature; yet this congestion, and the effect as produced upon the general system arises from an inclination, tendency or weakness which exists in the bronchi and larynx especially, and where there are those lesions and tendencies that keep a condition that is constantly irritating.
7. These have not assumed those proportions as to cause other than a weakness through the lungs, but without these being corrected this would eventually become a part of the condition; because the body is constantly - as every body - in the position of either meeting or being subject to those inclinations for infectious forces that may attack the tissue through the lung area.
8. This causes those conditions through the face and nasal passages, the antrum, that at times cause a great deal of disturbance.
9. These then are constantly allowing drainages into the system from the poisons and congestions, that cause the lack
2309-1 Page 2
of the vital energies being created in the assimilating forces of the body. Thus we have an upsetting at times of the digestive system, the inclination for trouble with the eliminations as produced by congestion through the liver, or the taxation at other times from these through the areas of the upper hepatics as combined with the lower hepatics. Thus irritation is caused through too much of the poisons being as accumulations from the toxic forces from kidneys, or a neuritic and a uric condition that tends to make for accumulations in the muscular forces of the body - that are already weakened by the disturbance in the blood system, that causes disturbance to the locomotions of the body.
10. As indicated, these are tendencies - that at times arise to give disturbances to the body.
11. As we find, then, in making corrections - first we would have occasionally, about once a week, a thorough osteopathic relaxing of the body; not a stimulating treatment, but a relaxing treatment; with special reference to the area from the 6th dorsal to the first of the cervicals.
12. Then, after two or three of these are given (and we would have them at least a week apart), we would coordinate the 9th dorsal, 4th lumbar and coccyx area, with corrections and those activities that will have been created by the applications to the upper dorsal.
13. With the conditions in trachea and bronchi, these often cause pressures so much upon the system as to disturb the rest of the body. Thus insomnia becomes a portion of the disturbance.
14. Hence, throughout the period, that there may be the better rest for the body, we would use each evening the electrically driven vibrator. Use the sponge applicator about the face, head and neck, and especially over the antrum, back of the head, the throat and the neck. Use the cup applicator along the cerebrospinal system and the upper portion of the body, across the diaphragm; so as to produce a stimulation to the superficial circulation. Take at least fifteen to twenty to thirty minutes to give self this treatment, or to have it done, each evening.
15. As an aid to the disturbance through the bronchi and larynx and trachea, we would use an inhalent; just the fumes from same, not as a spray. Put this in a large mouthed bottle, at least an eight ounce bottle. Prepare so that there may be two vents through the cork, and both vents may be kept tightly corked when not being used. Put in such a bottle this combination of ingredients:
16. To 4 ounces of Grain Alcohol (at least 90% proof) add,
2309-1 Page 3
in the order named: Oil of Eucalyptol...............20 minims, Rectified Oil of Turp............5 minims, Compound Tincture of Benzoin....30 minims, Tolu in Solution................20 minims. Use this at least twice a day. When to be used, shake the solution well, remove the corks, and inhale the fumes that would be thrown off from same - deep into the throat and lungs two to three times, also in each side of the nasal passage. Of course, neither of the vents would extend into the solution, but only into the space above the solution. Inhale this regularly, and it will be found to keep down the cold and clear up this condition - with the other treatments.
17. Do not take one part of the treatment without the other!
18. As to the diet - take plenty of food values that carry Vitamin B-1 and G. These are found especially in carrots (cooked or raw - and we would have them both ways often), the yellow neck squash, yellow peaches, cereals - especially oats and corn. These should be in the diet almost daily. Give these combined in different forms. Plenty of orange juice for the body, but do not take cereals and orange juice at the same meal. No fried foods at any time. Plenty of boiled onions. These should be a part of the diet once or twice a week. Fish, fowl and lamb should be the principal meats. Whole wheat bread always, and preferably this toasted.
19. Do these, and we will bring near to normal conditions for this body, [2309].
20. Ready for questions.
21. (Q) Will it take me long to get well? (A) Depends upon how consistent and persistent the body is in following the treatments suggested. It should not take long.
22. (Q) Should I answer a letter received from "A"? (A) This had best be answered from within self first, and then if it is in keeping with the aspirations and hopes, answer.
23. (Q) Will the office situation straighten out so my work will be more pleasant soon? (A) It will.
24. (Q) What osteopath would be suggested to treat me? (A) As we find, any in sympathy with the information here indicated, who will give them in the manner outlined; that is, not a stimulating but a relaxing treatment, and AS indicated.
2309-1 Page 4
As we find, ANY of those best suited to the body itself would be well.
25. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file (GD's note: See extra sheet of directions [which was enclosed] for Osteopath; also extra sheet of directions [which was enclosed] for druggist in preparing inhalant.) t.)
