1. LBC: You have before you Mrs. [3898], who is in this room.
2. EC: Yes, we have her here.
3. LBC: I want you to go over her carefully, examine her thoroughly, and tell us what is the matter with her.
4. EC: Now, you see, as we have the condition of this body here, of Mrs. [3898], we have a different condition from the condition that now exists in the body and what produced it. We have a product in the body of troubles of long standing, particularly those of irritation to the nerve forces and centers, or ganglions [ganglia], in the lumbar and pelvis regions. The tie-up of nerve centers, especially those in the iliac plexus, to their ends, and those to the upper head, and the supplying sympathetic nerves to the sciatic, those of the celiac plexus, or to those of the internal portions of the pelvis itself, governing those of the organs of the pelvis, until we have produced irritation of the nerve centers, sympathetically, through the whole system, especially those with the sympathetic force to the kidneys, and sympathetically to the lower end of the duodenum and to the pancreas. The condition through those sympathetically, through that of back standing, through the ilium, of its forces there, until we bring about a condition through the circulatory system which has produced a degeneration to the nerve forces and to the blood supply to these parts, or into the secretions and excretions in eliminating the forces used in the system.
5. We have as the condition in the system at present here, beginning from the head, we have poor circulation to the capillaries, except at times when they become flushed and full, produced from the stimulants we have in the force itself: that is, in the stomach. We have poor nerve supplies along the spine at the 4th dorsal, 2nd and 3rd cervical, 8th and 9th dorsal. Lesions at the 1st, 2nd and 3rd lumbars of an irritative nature, producing tautness of the muscular forces to the supplying muscles out from these vertabrae themselves. Then into the pelvis here, we have the force supplying that of the muscular force to the
3898-1 Page 2
sciatic nerve, or that branches from the solar plexus here, producing irritation through the whole system - nervous debility, as we have brought about by old existing conditions produced by the tying up of nerve centers improperly, from the pelvis, until we stop the secretions, or the eliminating secretions here, through the pelvis, and the dross of the system as through the channels produced an irritation sympathetically, through the whole condition in the body. Then, as these conditions have been brought to bear on the whole body, we have them coming into the action of its forces through that of the nervous condition in the body to the other functions of the organ itself; that is, of the body itself; namely, in its action on to the forces, or organism of the sensory organs themselves, or through the senses into the feelings of the body, into the impressions, or repressions or suppressions, as the case may be, received from the outside forces in its action or reaction onto the force into the body itself, becoming at times to the body irritative, at others as soothing forces, to the system. These bring about the condition from the nervous forces, and through the digestive organs bring about the actions through the forces, especially in that of the lymphatics, and through the sympathetic nervous system, acting in sympathy through the whole system.
6. (Q) Is anything she is taking now - Coca Cola - is that beneficial, or a disadvantage to her condition? Is there any organic trouble with the heart? (A) Only through the sympathetic forces, you see. As we have these conditions of the weakening of the body, or its nerve forces, the lesion from here at the spine, the 4th and 5th, 2nd and 3rd cervical, and then in the lumbar at the 4th and 5th, we come in conjunction, sympathetically, through those of the governing forces of the secondary cardiac plexus. The condition of the nerve forces in its reaction bring about the forces we have the condition to the heart, not of stimulant forces, not of organic trouble through the stimuli we have to the system, or the repulsion of the blood from the heart - from the ventricle itself.
7. (Q) What causes the condition of the rectum? (A) From the condition that first brought about the condition in the body! From the long standing condition in the body. From times back, tying up of nerve forces. The removal of these forces from the body brought about the condition we had in the forces.
8. (Q) What treatment would you prescribe to relieve this condition? (A) Bring about a condition of forces in the body whereby the body is to be benefitted from the condition it has at
3898-1 Page 3
present. Or to bring it to a normal condition with the existing forces as we have in the system, the forces of age, nature.
9. (Q) What treatment would you prescribe to bring about a normal condition of the body, and to relieve these present conditions? (A) Bring about the condition of benefit to the body. We have now in this condition those of forces of renewed regeneration of the nervous forces to be brought about. Or, as it were, to stop the atrophication of the nerve of the nerve force itself, or to keep back to those of muscular force being brought in contact through the nerve forces in the body, or that as we would have as forces of a paralyzed condition. We bring about a rejuvenation of these forces through the application to the spine here, after we have removed the forces here first in the pelvis and in the lumbars, through that of salt, sea water salt, not that of calcium here, ordinary, but that of organic matter itself, applied through the forces of electroid, or electral forces, applied with both of the sea salt through that of a current of organic electral forces, then a stimulant to the stomach or intestines, to repair the rejuvenation of these forces through that of a sedative to the kidneys, stomach, duodenum. To the nerve forces of the spleenic action the rejuvenation of the blood as of clara [clary] water. Constant use of the limbs through the forces of exercise, not of tiring nature, but plenty of open air and oxygen with it. Remove these first by manipulation along the spine, or as we would have in the forces of osteopathic form, by using the bones as the levers to relax the muscular forces of the body. When we have it relaxed for about five or ten days - treatment every other day, not every day, five or six treatments, you see, then we apply the salt and electrical force with the rejuvenation of the forces taken into the stomach, through stimulants. The body will improve and be better. Don't worry.
10. (Q) Any other treatment for the present? (A) Do this.
