1. LBC: You are now asleep and will be able to tell us what we want to know. You have before you [3919], who is in the room with you. She is before you now. EC: Miss [3919]. LBC: Yes she is before you now, you will see her. EC: Yes, Miss [3919], yes we have her here. LBC: Alright. Now I want you to go over her carefully and examine her thoroughly and tell us what is the matter with her, if anything.
2. EC: Here we have her here. Let's get this together. First, along the spine from the brain; see here, from the first cervical on down the spine to the last dorsals, into the lumbars, into the lower ends - the coccyx.
3. We have along at the cervicals first, we have a connection between the nerve force and blood supply, both to the brain and lungs, here at the cervicals; also, in the neck to the facial muscles and nerves, these are from reflexes we have along here. Then we have the lesions. We have the lumbars here, you see we have troubles here through the cervicals, from the reflexes along the conditions existing below; along from the lumbar the existing condition from the solar plexus here (center) here to the dorsal.
4. We have a condition existing from where we have the seat of the troubles, which has produced a seat in these conditions we have through the pelvis and intestinal tract - the beginning of the troubles here, abnormal in the body here of Miss [3919], we are talking about her.
5. We have produced here at the second lumbar a lesion here, you see in the lumbar region, coming in contact with the sympathetic and locomotory muscles of the limbs below, through the pelvis and into the intestinal tract, where the trouble begun, until we produce a condition to the blood supply to the elementary [alimentary?] canal itself; also, in the condition where it passed through the pelvis, also,
3919-1 Page 2
in the pelvis and back into this, which produces a condition in the kidneys themselves, throwing off a discharge we have had there and passes it through the urine; this has produced to the mouth this over-taxed and over-stimulated condition until we have gathered at the lesion in the lumbars and producing the condition in the pelvis.
6. The same produces conditions from the minor troubles into the throwing off or discharge from the generation here, you see. The same thing comes back, through the blood, from the forces coming in contact with the skin itself, along the forces outside; the pains produced across the back, sickness of the stomach produced, from these conditions, pains to the head only at times. The body is up, it is not sick, not down. The condition existing antagonizes and stigmatizes the whole make-up of the system.
7. (Q) What other conditions do you find? Do you find any bad condition about the frontal part of the head? (A) The head produced from the condition we have there with these conditions here. In the frontal part of the head, none there except from what we had from the antagonized condition from the troubles in the supply of the blood forces to the neck and to the facial muscles here we had at first.
8. (Q) What was the beginning of the trouble? (A) The beginning is here in the lumbar and we have had reflex pains to these until we have a gathering in the nasal passages until we have produced pains to the frontal part of the face; the impression from the outside is from local.
9. (Q) Well what treatment would you prescribe to relieve these conditions? (A) Relieve the conditions or tensions on the nervous system to the blood supply of the whole system - we have the blood supply. We have a normal body - we have the body here of Miss [3919]. We have the blood supply, that is, the arterial system forces out from the heart; we have the nervous system carried from the sympathetic and cerebrospinal system, governed by the muscular force and nerve tissue, that supply the blood force as we carry it through the parts of the system, where we cause trouble. We have effected parts of the system; we have lesions formed along from the spine to different parts of the system. If we relax this supply by removing the tension we supply blood to the system, that is, if the blood is in the condition as we have it here in this system of Miss [3919]. If we supply
3919-1 Page 3
the blood force to these conditions as we have existing in this body, we will resupply the forces to throw out from this system or absorb through the respiratory system, through the organs of the kidneys and by manipulation of the body thoroughly, from head to foot; we will have this so the muscles, the bones, the very angles of the body to supply these forces, to the muscular forces, to relax the nerve supply to force the blood, until we produce a quieted condition to the system, that brings on a natural state of coma; producing a rest to the body and rebuilding tissues of the body destroyed by being taut, by the muscular forces in the body itself. Don't mean you need medicine. The opposite we have from the electrical forces into the system. We need the muscular forces relaxed until we have supplied the nerve forces through the pelvis - the solar plexus - until we take away enough of the gathering of the forces or the tautness of the muscles in themselves to relax the system to allow it to rebuild through nature. The lymphatics, as we have from this system, carry a supply or rebuild to the forces or producing a non-capillary through the system. By relaxing the body we reduce these conditions until it comes as nature gives it; comes as natural.
10. (Q) Any other treatment you would prescribe? (A) Relax the conditions and the body will be alright. Do not overstimulate to effect the eyes. The trouble we have have here from the second cervical overstimulated the body, have to be done by hands that know how. Overstimulate the forces that supply the blood and facial muscles and through the brain; we produce then an anaesthetic state of coma for a natural state of rest to the body, rest to the whole being, as it were, through natural means. We need something to force the blood away from the head and to renew the forces here; the natural flow of blood until it runs normal to the arteries of the head and take away forces as supplied by nature itself. If conditions arise we have to change from kind or quality that exist.
