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, [2543].
3. As we find, there are disturbing conditions which prevent the better physical functioning. These have to do especially with the coordination between the sympathetic and the cerebrospinal nervous system, particularly in relationship to the activities of the organs of the sensory system.
4. These then affect primarily the vocal relationships TO the auditory and the optic forces of the body.
5. Then, these are the conditions which exist with this body, [2543] we are speaking of, present in this room:
6. The blood supply we find very good as related to the general activities of the body. As related to the activity to the auditory forces AND the optic forces, there are hindrances because of the general strain which has existed in some of the glandular forces.
7. Thus, through those pressures that have existed, we have an impoverishment to the nerves of the sensory system.
8. This has existed for some time. Thus it has grown to be a general condition as related to the glandular forces, and a specific or a constitutional disturbance as related to the auditory forces and to the vision.
9. All of these as we find, however, may be materially aided.
10. The activities of these upon the nerve forces of the body:
11. In times back, as a minor injury to those areas in the upper dorsal, 2nd and 3rd dorsal, we had a pressure or subluxation that existed. This began first to give
2543-1 Page 2
expression in the amount of blood flow and nerve energy to the auditory forces. This caused a thickening of tissue in the auditory chamber.
12. It did NOT in the beginning cause the whole of the drying of the fluids in the ear, and the balance; though this was experienced by the body as conditions developed, - a dizziness at times, at others a swimming of the head and the like.
13. This CONTINUED pressure, however, has caused a great deal of this fluid to become static, and has thickened the combination of the auditory forces - or the stirrup, the anvil and the like are NOT stationary but thickened.
14. In the repression, from the 3rd dorsal through the secondary in the 3rd and 4th cervical, this also affected the vision - through the same character of impoverishment.
15. Not that the vision was affected other than by the lack of focus, or the activities from the nerve centers TO the optic nerve; not impoverished as to cause a hardening. But this remained more of that nature of just impoverishment, and the blurring, with the inability for the true stereoscopic reaction to occur.
16. This then has drawn upon the thyroid glands, the glands of the tendons as related to the adrenals. All of these at times, through the nerve reflexes, have reacted upon the organs, but has not produced an organic disturbance either in the kidneys or in the stomach; though all of these at times have become involved in the condition - at periods when the body, through becoming supersensitive, has allowed itself to feel sorry for itself.
17. The ability of the body through its mental awareness to make the best of all situations has brought, however, the best of influences throughout the activities; though this oft produces a general high nerve tension to the body - and the body grows quite weary.
18. These have rather occurred at periods, though, and are a part - now - of the GENERAL conditions; not affecting the organs of the body.
19. In making applications for helpful influences, these must be kept in mind:
20. Each condition has been and is a purposeful experience. Thus the activities must be in that manner in which the spiritual, the mental and the material influences are coordinated into one.
21. There are physical deficiencies. These need to be supplied from physical sources; but with that attitude of a mental and spiritual purpose to assist the body in gaining a normal equilibrium in those portions of the physical forces
2543-1 Page 3
where deficiencies exist.
22. These as we find will require more the mechanical than the chemical reactions. Thus we would have an alleviation of those subluxations in those areas that are producing the disturbances to the sensory system. But do this ONLY by one in sympathy with, acquainted with and believing in the efficacy of prayer, of doing as is indicated; all, no more, no less.
23. Then these may be indicated, to those who are doubtful, by the fluoroscope or x-ray, as existent in the 3rd and 2nd dorsal, in the 3rd and 4th cervical. These, of course, with their retention upon the impulse, have produced the disturbance.
24. At the beginning there may be those tendencies towards FEAR, because of the amount of inflammation as will be produced to these organs of the senses - with the first few treatments. But continue with these, in series, and we will find we will bring bettered conditions, more hopeful experiences, and EVENTUALLY we may restore not only the hearing but also the vision - to ALMOST, if not quite, normalcy.
25. Have such osteopathic adjustments made by Dobbins. We would have fifteen of such treatments in the first series.
26. Then have a rest period of three weeks, and then another series of osteopathic adjustments. Continue with these in series, and we will find better conditions coming for the body.
27. During the rest periods between the series of osteopathic treatments, there will be the needs for the use of electrical forces. These we would have applied from the static electrical forces, NOT of any other character. Hence use that in which the low electrical charge is produced chemically, and carry with this into the system the vibrations from the metallic elements that aid in supplying the energies through the activities of the glands that have been devitalized by the drawing upon them for activity. These properties are needed to stimulate those vital activities - not taking them internally, but vibratorially. We refer to Atomidine (which is atomic iodine) and Chloride of Gold. The vibrations of these we would take alternately through the low Wet Cell Appliance. The attachments would be made as follows:
28. One day, when using the Gold: The small copper plate would be attached directly to the body at the 9th dorsal, while the large nickel plate - through which the Gold vibration passes (in the proportions of one grain Chloride of Gold to one ounce of Distilled Water - and use at least
2543-1 Page 4
six ounces) - would be attached to the umbilical and lacteal duct plexus, or four fingers to the right from the navel center, see?
29. The next day, when using the Atomidine: The small copper plate would be attached to the 2nd cervical (this governing the activity to the upper portion of stomach as also to the center through which the nerve forces to the sensory system and cerebrospinal system cross at that area), while the larger nickel plate - through which the Atomidine vibration passes (in the proportions of three ounces commercial strength Atomidine to three ounces of Distilled Water) would also be applied to the umbilical and lacteal duct plexus.
30. Use the Appliance each day during the rest period from the osteopathy - for thirty minutes; one day with the Gold Solution, the next day with the Atomidine Solution.
31. Then have the second series of the osteopathic adjustments.
32. Even before beginning to use the Appliance, we will see helpful conditions.
33. Do that.
34. In the matter of the diet: The body is a very good dietician, but take more of those herbs or vegetables that carry Vitamin B and B-1; especially during the periods these applications indicated are activative in the system. For, as the body is cleansed by the removing of those hindrances, there is the need for replacing of energies; and these are the energizing forces for the body.
35. As to the mental attitude - keep that faith in Him, who doeth all things well.
36. Ready for questions.
37. (Q) What causes and what should be done for the skin condition? (A) The glands purified, by the use of the Atomidine vibratorially taken, we will remove these disturbances.
38. (Q) Should the Appliance be discontinued when beginning the second series of osteopathic treatments? (A) It would be hard to carry this about. Discontinue. But begin when there has been the completing of the second series.
39. We are through for the present. Copy to Self (two copies, one for mother) " " Ass'n file ile
