At the Time of Reading home of 10:50 to 11:10 A.M. Eastern Daylight Savings Time. Mrs. [...] in the upstairs northeast bedroom, ..., S.C.
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, [2587].
3. Now as we find, there are disturbing conditions which have prevented the better normal functioning of the organs of the body.
4. In the present only functional disturbances are indicated. These may grow into organic disturbances, or they might become so separated as to set up conditions of their own.
5. We find that the conditions which exist arise from things that existed at or during the time of the birth of the body; and a pressure exists in the lumbar and the lower dorsal areas which has hindered the functioning of the organs of assimilation.
6. Hence, as indicated, rarely has the body ever taken any quantities of foods. Rarely does that as taken become easily assimilated.
7. These come from pressures existing in the lumbar and the lower dorsal areas.
8. Naturally these have caused forms of lesions in the area from which the vagus center receives its impulse from cerebrospinal and sympathetic nervous system - or in the 3rd and 4th cervical centers.
9. These produce a great nervous strain on the body; and it
2587-1 Page 2
produces in the sympathetic nervous system the effects of high tension, high imaginative and high emotional nature, and those conditions in which the body becomes almost hysterical in its natures at times.
10. The giving way, or the expression of these is rather an outlet for the body; yet usually the suggestions or activities concerning the outbursts for the body bring other disturbances that cause suppressions.
11. These then produce a very much impoverished blood supply, low blood count - that is, of red blood; slow activity even in the best of the digestive forces, little of proper eliminations, rarely the ability to cause the perspiratory system to function; causing a disturbance through ALL the eliminating channels; causing such repression through the lungs as to give very poor reaction to the blood stream at times, by the re-oxidizing of the system.
12. All of these, as we find, arise primarily from those conditions existing in the areas indicated, and their reflexes.
13. As to the effect of the organs - at times there is excess activity of kidneys, slow activity in the liver and pancreas and spleen; though at times the repression through the areas of the spleen itself causes a fullness and a heaviness, and a feeling of pain through that area - as well as at the pit of the stomach.
14. The stomach itself is very small, and tipped; so that this also causes distress - greater distress - to the nervous system.
15. Then, in making applications for the betterment of this body:
16. First we would begin with a series of gentle but firm osteopathic adjustments. Have them twice a week until about sixteen have been taken in the first series. Do not attempt to make the full adjustments in the lumbar and lower dorsals at the first time, to be sure, but gradually relax the body. Massage also the abdominal area; not as to cause any great disturbance, but so that there is a better activity. After the first sixteen treatments, rest from these for a month, and then have them once a week until sixteen more have been taken.
17. Within the next ten days or three weeks, begin also with the use of the Radio-Active Appliance when ready to retire. At first this will tend to irritate rather than to quiet, but if the body will keep this on for thirty minutes to an hour for the first three times, then it will be found that it will aid in equalizing the circulation - that will have
2587-1 Page 3
been set up generally by the osteopathic corrections being made - and bring beneficial effects to the body.
18. Keep this up constantly - that is, each day for at least thirty to ninety days. Be sure that the attachments are circulated properly about the body, and that the anode plates are kept very clean.
19. Then as to diet:
20. Not too much sweets, not too much meats.
21. Do not attempt to crowd the body or to force food. Let this become rather as a natural consequence, but eat often.
22. In the morning have citrus fruit juices or cereals, but not both at the same meal - rather alternate these, having one on one day, the other the next, and so on; with a good, full glass of milk, a little bread or toast if desired, a little fruit other than the citrus fruit if desired.
23. Between the morning and the noon meal take at least a good, full glass of malted milk. This should be made to be palatable, by whatever type of flavor the body desires; whether vanilla, chocolate or what character, or BOSCO may be taken, or it may be altered if it becomes objectionable.
24. At the noon meal take rather beef juice with the juices of vegetables; or a soup, or juices or vegetables or meat broths and the like; not heavy foods.
25. Then in the afternoon have at least a good big saucer of ice cream, whatever flavor is preferred. This may be mixed occasionally with ices; as orange ice or lemon ice, or pineapple ice or the like.
26. In the evenings have well cooked vegetables, plenty of liver - this at least two or three times a week; also fish, fowl and lamb. The green and leafy vegetables are preferable; not so much, but some of each.
27. Do these and we will bring the much better and near to normal conditions for this body.
28. Ready for questions.
29. (Q) What causes the frequent leg ache at night, and how may it be overcome? (A) The pressures upon the sciatic nerves from those suppressions or subluxations in the lumbar and sacral areas.
30. (Q) In what condition are tonsils and should any treatment be given? (A) The general treatment as being indicated. Do not have same removed as yet.
31. (Q) Does her great desire to return to live with her Grandmother [2808] in ..., Fla., have any bearing on her physical condition? (A) As has been indicated.
2587-1 Page 4
Do these things, and we will find great improvement, and much better conditions for this body, [2587].
