1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time. You will diagnose the case thoroughly, giving the cause of the existing conditions, also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body.
2. EC: Now, we find this body very good in many respects, throughout the physical body; yet there are those conditions of which the body would be warned, for the better condition in the physical way, that the physical may function the more normal in this body.
3. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body, [2903], we are speaking of. First:
4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find very good at the present time, though there are conditions that at times produce a higher than normal blood pressure. This is not of an organic nature in organs; rather of the nerve system, as we shall see, produced by the inability of the system at times to bring the normal eliminations in the system, especially through the emunctories of liver and kidneys, which organs show the distresses when the pressure is produced, or when toxins are left in the system that bring congestion to various portions of the system under stress at the time. In the lower portion of the body we find the circulation slow, and the exterior portions, or the vein circulation, gives too slow a return to trunk portion of the body. Hence this swelling, or the vein showing the plethora effect at times giving a great deal of trouble, especially when toxins are allowed to form in system, by the poor eliminations produced in the emunctories, through disturbances in the nerve system, affecting organic functioning. See?
5. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, in this we find the greater cause of the trouble that has been produced at times, or IS produced at times in the body. While the exercises, the action of the system, has kept off, DOES keep off, much of these conditions, there are those lesions in the 8th and 9th dorsal, in the 3rd and 4th lumbar, that give to the
2903-2 Page 2
functioning system those incentives that cause disturbance, when any equilibrium is disturbed by congestion, or by overloading of the stomach - indigestion, or by any condition that affects directly the nerve sensory system. Hence, as there will be seen, at times that depression, or overexcitement, would produce indigestion, or over activities of the kidneys, or LACK of activity in the liver, as much as cold or other conditions, see?
6. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS, brain forces very good.
7. Organs of the sensory system extra good, through the ability of the will's forces to be applied in the system. Hence these conditions as have been given, with the activity over the functioning of the organs through the sensory or the sympathetic system.
8. Throat very good, though there are times that reflexes to the upper portion of the circulation gives the tendency for a rising, or a clearing of throat, which gives distress in a manner to the body at times. Not an affectation; not an organic condition - a nerve reflection, through the secondary cardiac and to the 6th and 7th cervical. Irritation produced in throat and bronchials.
9. Lungs very good.
10. Heart's action - this, as we see, not an organic condition, but produced by this condition of nerve center and of the reaction, or retractory action in the system.
11. Digestion very good at present, though there have been those conditions in spleen and liver that has brought distresses, and these show the effects of same, though are very good at present. These were produced by the condition existent in the dorsal and lumbar region - THAT condition produced many years ago when the body fell - steps.
12. Through the mesenteric system - this diet that the body has adhered to from time to time, this activity of the body in its exercise, has assisted greatly these conditions; yet, were these corrections made through the osteopathic or chiropractic adjustments, that would relieve or release this pressure (while we will have some retraction when this is done, unless the exercises are kept normal for the body), we will find that the general physical condition of this body would be rebuilded.
13. The taxation as is seen in the kidneys at times, a retraction, and this pressure produced through this lesion, this overflow of blood to extremities. Hence the condition that comes to lower limbs, feet, and especially along the veins.
14. To relieve, then, these conditions for this body, and to give the normal forces, we would, through osteopathic
2903-2 Page 3
manipulation and adjustment, correct those conditions as are seen in the dorsal and lumbar region, and then ALIGN the rest of cerebrospinal system with those corrections. Do that. We will find that thirteen to fifteen such treatments should BRING the normal conditions for body. This does not take the place of the care, the attention, that has been given to the body through the diet or exercise, or through those adjustments for the various conditions as arise in system, but this makes the CORRECTION, that these, as they are applied, may be more effective; for with this correction in the lumbar we will find this pressure relieved in lower limbs, especially.
15. We are through for the present.
