1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [3985]. Now, as we find, while there are many disturbing factors and conditions in the physical forces of this body, and many of these have been of long standing, with the proper application, with persistence - and consistent in same, the body may be brought to a physical condition where a great deal physically AND mentally may be yet accomplished by the body.
2. These conditions are varied in the effects as disturb the body. As indicated, some have been of long standing, and hence have become in a manner a constitutional weakness in the physical functioning.
3. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [3985] we are speaking of:
4. THE BLOOD SUPPLY shows for toxic forces in the system, produced by poor eliminations and improper functioning of fagged glands, and of nerve system - or systems. Hence some organs are involved in the condition, though very little may be termed purely that of organic disorder; rather a functional disorder, the condition so exaggerated as to disturb the organs in their functioning; as heart action, as digestive system, as the spleen in its activity to the whole body.
5. IN THE NERVOUS SYSTEM we find, then, the greater distress - or the seat of the greater distress, while effects are more exaggerated in other portions of the system. With an overtaxed nerve system, and especially specific centers involved, the incentives to functioning in various portions of the system became so over accentuated, and the attempts to alleviate such were directed at effects rather than causes, which brought about a collapse in the cerebrospinal's coordinating with the sympathetic system. The centers specifically involved are those in the 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th dorsal area. A form of lesion (lateral in
3985-1 Page 2
nature) exists there. The effects have been of nerve exhaustion, improper digestion, heart's action affected, and the organs of assimilation and elimination becoming involved. The body at first over-irritant, or easily disturbed in its mental equilibrium, making specific worries about conditions existent, and then the digestion going wrong, the glands of the system, improper functioning from this nerve exhaustion gave the disorders as we find existent in the body.
6. Then, to meet the needs of these conditions as we have given, it will be necessary for consistent and persistent action on the part of the body to bring about a better, or a near normal condition again. With various times we will find it necessary to change those properties as may be administered to the body for the correction of the conditions, as various portions of the body or the organs respond to those things that would be applied from without to act upon the systems within.
7. BEGIN with these:
8. First we would take small quantities of Atomidine, as a stimuli to the functioning of the glands of the system - three to five drops twice a day for five to ten days; then a period of rest, then after five days begin again, taking three drops of same in half a glass of water - with each dose that's taken, for a period of fifteen to twenty days - see?
9. During this same period begin with those of the manipulations OSTEOPATHICALLY given, about twice each week. One of the treatments each week should be principally that of a general stimulation to the body to make it rest more, or a massage. The other treatment would be more an ADJUSTMENT. Do not attempt to make all the adjustments at ONCE along the cerebrospinal system!
10. To bring rest or ease, use the Radio-Active Appliance once each day, preferably in the afternoon. This would be attached, the first anode to the right wrist - then to the left ankle. The next day attach first to the right ankle and left wrist. Each period would be for thirty to sixty minutes of such vibrations. Be sure that the appliance or battery portion is kept in a crock, not a metal container, with ice - or its equivalent - see?
11. Do this for at least twenty-six to thirty-six days, and then we would give the changes and the NECESSARY things for change.
12. In the matter of the diet, keep those things that will make for the better assimilations; that is, a tendency toward an alkalin diet.

13. Keep the eliminations through the alimentary canal as near normal as possible. When necessary an enema may be given for cleansing the colon, or removing of drosses. Well that this be done occasionally, when necessary. This had better be done through colonic irrigations.
14. Ready for questions.
15. (Q) Is a permanent cure possible? (A) If this is followed AS it is OUTLINED, consistently and persistently and making the changes as necessary to meet the various emergencies or conditions, as response is made here or there in the functioning system. This nervousness, this tendency of the body to become tensioned all over, tendency of inactivities of the body, the better MENTAL balance of the body will come about gradually. There may be expected periods when seemingly there will be accentuations, or specific conditions may seem to be accentuated and distresses arise - but patience and persistence, and CONSISTENCE. Because the body desires to eat too much - do not overeat! Do not allow the body to become morose, or sorry for itself!
16. (Q) Shall I continue my present occupation? (A) When CONDITIONS are bettered, this will be the natural thing for the body. See, the cramps at times come FROM the present occupation.
17. (Q) Will my financial situation improve? (A) As the abilities of the body are the better balanced, then these should improve also.
