1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, Mrs. [3722] and those conditions that surround the body. In this particular case or condition we will find a very interesting study of physical conditions as produced by physical disorders affecting nerves, as prevent the proper functioning of organs, that with those conditions aggravated produce disorders in other portions of the system that are (as in this) called or classed a condition that has become constitutional. True, will the conditions be left or allowed to continue to function UNDER these strains, it - the condition - will BECOME constitutional, the nature of the disorders become more specific and apparent, and with the breaking down of those functionings of the organs so disturbed in or from a normal functioning, will make for more violent and specific disorders in those organs so affected.
2. These, then, are the conditions as we find them: First, IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY - This shows that sluggishness in its activity from carrying those properties or specific matter not wholly prepared for assimilation in the system, with the resultant effect upon heart's action, as well as upon the kidneys and their functioning.
3. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, OR SYSTEMS, do WE find the basis or the elemental cause of the disorder. In the 8th and 9th (sympathetically, 6th and 10th) dorsal area do we find those lesions of the nature that have affected, do affect, the functioning of the spleen and the pancreas. Hence with an over amount of stimuli in the nature of carbohydrates, or of that in any nature that produces an excess of the alcoholic effect upon a digestive system, do we have these lapses of activity of the system in reducing the sugars, and of producing the proper amount of those elements IN the blood supply to eliminate the poisons. An excess of
3722-1 Page 2
hyperglycemia, then, is a result in the system from this continued pressure, and from those periods of excesses of those within the system either in the form of the carbohydrates or proteins in some form, or the excesses of that producing alcohol in the system as to make for slow activity upon that taken as food within the duodenum proper, and the activity of the pancreas juices or fluids UPON that to be assimilated. An excess then arises in the lacteal glands, and the urea and the inflammation of such produce those engorgements in the hepatics and the kidneys, producing an excess of urine - with those of sugar in same, those of casts, and heaviness in the activity. This produces CORRESPONDING effect upon the circulation to the brain and throughout the SYMPATHETIC system that of nerve exhaustion. At times there would later come this more excessive, but apparent in the present of a heaviness in the lower lumbar regions - as if the whole system were bearing down a bit, and the feet, ankles, lower limbs, become heavy, especially with long on the feet - when some swelling shows in ankles and feet, or a fullness there, at least. Soreness along some portions of the muscles on the inner side of lower limbs and groin, and an unusual tendency for the appetite in those directions that cause more excesses in system.
4. The effects are apparent upon the whole ORGANISM, while the body suffers (when suffering at all) more from inertia, or nervousness and irritation, than from particular pain - except from the worry of the general feelings in system.
5. In meeting the needs of the conditions, as WE find - here is an interesting condition, where that the combination of schools or practices would be the most beneficial to the body, where there may be combined those of specialists' efforts in eradicating these these conditions from the system. That known as osteopathic adjustments AND manipulations, combined WITH MEDICATION that will ASSIST in relieving the activities of organs already affected by the excess impulse given in the regions that affect these organs involved; not only by the pressure produced in that particular area, but from the excesses of those elements created in system BY the pressure, affecting the organs that show irritation.
6. The activities of food values must also be seriously considered, and the amount of rest and the amount of activities must be taken into consideration.
7. With these, as we find, being considered together, this PARTICULAR case here - as we find - may be relieved entirely; while either ONE alone MIGHT NOT! and, as we find
3722-1 Page 3
with the existent conditions, WOULD not relieve the condition wholly! but would be rather a temporary relief, with the tendencies and inclinations still existent, either in those regions from which the pressure EMANATES that HAS produced this condition, or the excess of impulse and irritations in the organs already affected - see?
8. We would change as to that where these treatments might be combined in the manner as to relieve the system, in a way as to eradicate both the pressure and the impulses in the disorders of ORGANS being affected by that produced from the pressure.
9. Then: Correct osteopathically those pressures that exist in the dorsal region, as indicated. Rest considerable physically.
10. We would take internally that as would be combined either from THIS, or that may be made from the extracts of pancrean juices and from duodenum juices - that may be taken internally; or, preferably, as we find, this:
11. Put 6 ounces of clary flower in 16 ounces of distilled water. Reduce by slow boiling, or simmering, with a glass or enamel cover over same, to 1/2 the quantity. Strain, and while STILL warm add: Ambergris (dissolved in 1 ounce of pure grain alcohol)........15 grains, Oil of Juniper............................1/2 dram, Alcohol (85% solution)......................1 ounce, Cinnamon (preferably in the stick)..........1 dram. Cut or shake well before the dose is taken. The dose would be a teaspoonful 20 to 30 minutes before the meals are taken.
12. Beware of any carbohydrates. Preferably this as an outline: Those that are not stimulating to the lacteals, or that are excessive in sugars or too high in proteins.
13. We would have at least two treatments osteopathically each week, ONE of these being an ADJUSTMENT treatment followed with a general manipulation - the other rather the massage over the whole system, KEEPING the coordination of nerve impulses from the ganglia in this area of the cerebrospinal with the cerebrospinal ganglia in the locomotary areas and the sympathetic areas.
14. Ready for questions.
15. (Q) Would you recommend the use of insulin in this case? (A) As we find, as has been given, the better procedure would be the combination of the correction of impulses from pressure and the effect OF the impulse BY the creating of
3722-1 Page 4
disorders in the gastric forces of the system, and in the blood supply, and its effect UPON organs themselves. Insulin, as we find, does not cure, is not a preventative - but does relieve, and does act as an assimilant in many disorders of the nature of this disturbance in advanced stages. Under the PRESENT condition, and the stage of the disorder with this body, that as given would be the better - or the manipulative forces, with those preparations by such dispensaries that make the combination compound FROM pancrean juices and duodenum juices.
