1. EC: We have the body here, [4172]. Now, while we find the physical conditions are very good in many portions of the system, there are those conditions existent that with the correction in the present would prevent greater distresses later on, and in the system's attempting to adjust itself to the conditions bring about the distresses and disorders as we find at present.
2. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [4172] we are speaking of, present in this room:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, we find that tendency of the vitamins or vital forces to be deficient in the manner of storing energy, as it were, in the system. Hence the periods we have at times when the body easily tires, or that there apparently are distresses without being able to definitely say just what disturbs the body - physically or mentally. At other periods we find those conditions existent in the nervous system that cause the periodical depressions that come from functioning organs that are governed most through the nervous system. Hence those conditions that bring for distresses in headaches, in depletion of appetite and the ability to carry on fully in a normal way and manner, and even when the body under such distress FORCES conditions, as it were, at TIMES the depressions and the disorders may wear off with the day; at others we find they become more and more depressing in their general effect, until - with the disorders that result from the disturbance in digestive system - distress comes throughout the whole of the body.
4. With the depletion in the blood supply (this rather as warnings), we will find that - unless corrections are made - the impoverishment of conditions in the assimilating system, or that which brings about the resuscitation of vitality or force or energy in the body must suffer more and more, allowing the general system to become more and more susceptible to outside influences - either those conditions
4172-1 Page 2
that may be taken on in the form of the bacilli or those that may be deteriorating in their effect within the physical functioning itself.
5. IN THE FUNCTIONING AND CONDITIONS OF ORGANS AS RELATED TO THE GENERAL SYSTEM:
6. Brain forces we find very good, and the discernment and dissemination through the sensory system are active; yet at times even these - in the senses' reaction - find they are over active or acute in functioning, as the eyes, ears, nose, or through the organs of the sensory's reactory forces.
7. In the throat, bronchi and lungs:
8. In the throat we find there re those conditions that produce disorders through infectious forces, as of the condition in the throat proper. This is more from a disordered nervous system than of specific conditions, though infection at times exists - but with a cleansing of the system in a manner as to relieve the pressures, as we will find or see in the cerebrospinal system, these may be clarified by their proper drainages, rather than through exterior activities.
9. In the lungs themselves, the indications of the hindrance in the blood supply are seen.
10. Heart's action near normal, save under those periods when depressions come from the existent conditions in pelvic organs, or in the stomach itself proper, as a reflex action. When the pressure becomes low in heart's activity, the pulse is faster.
11. In the digestive system proper, through reflex forces, we find disorders in the lacteals - that is, in the assimilation of those of the protein nature, especially. These produce, as it were, a regurgitation through the activity of the duodenum in itself to act upon foods that are taken into the system, and an excess of acid that results from same produces those conditions in head, aided also by the pressure existent in the lumbar and sacral region. Here we find directly the causes of the conditions existent from those forces seen in the pelvic organs, by pressure existent in the lower dorsal, sacral, and in coccyx region. These producing a pressure, make for those distresses throughout the periods that make for an elimination in these portions of the system. The feet and lower limbs at times give distress or anxious anxiety, as it were, when the body is under such strain - as does the functioning of the kidneys themselves, in the cold hepatic circulation that exists, show for a distress in the bladder region. These make for the disorders as we find them with
4172-1 Page 3
this body, [4172] we are speaking of, present in this room.
12. In the specific conditions that exist, or where lesions will be found - those of the circulatory nature, or in the circulation, in the coccyx - as will be seen in the 2nd and 3rd, from the end of the coccyx. Not a lesion in the nature of a circulatory that makes pressures, other than sympathetically. Hence the pains as felt at times across lower portion of the back itself, lower into the sacral region, extending at times along the under portion of the limbs themselves. A greater lesion in the lower sacral and lower dorsal. These we will find by the correction of same. This we would do osteopathically, adding to the body those high frequency vibratory forces of the sinusoidal, as connected between those vibrations in the central system - as from the 3rd and 4th dorsal, where another SYMPATHETIC lesion is seen - and the 4th and 5th lumbar. These should be given at least twice each week; that is, the vibratory forces - and not over two or three minutes in the beginning. Make for not the direct positive, but that which makes for contraction of the muscular forces in the pelvic system itself, as the correction of the system, and the relief of the pressure in these will make for a nearer normal functioning of the organs themselves.
13. In the matter of the diet - be mindful that the foods taken are those of the non-acid producing in the system. Beware, then, of meats to any great extent - and especially of those vegetables of the tuberous nature. Then, the leaves or those of the pod nature will be found the better for the body, as will be those of the citrous fruits or those that grow from the vine. Beware, though, of those that carry to much of the seed itself.
14. Keeping up these in their proper relationships one to another - the manipulations and the low electrical forces, with the proper diet - we will bring a normalcy to the body in three to five weeks. Ready for questions.
15. (Q) Where does the blood come from that I spit up? (A) Those pressures that exist from the conditions in the throat and larynx; NOT from the lungs.
16. (Q) What causes me to have the breaking out all over my body? (A) This produced by the improper circulation, from the lesions existent in the lumbar, dorsal and upper cervical regions. Improper coordination in eliminations of the system. OVER-acidity.
17. (Q) What causes me to have hot flushes around my head? (A) The pressures in the pelvic regions and the disturbed circulation, as has been outlined. Citrocarbonates will be those properties to be taken for the eliminants, when
4172-1 Page 4
needed. These should not be taken too regularly, but they will be found to be the most effective. Those that may be seen in Occy-Crystine - this is a carbonate in itself, see? or those in the Citrocarbonate that make for more of the alkalin for the digestive forces.
18. (Q) What makes my throat stay sore and raw? (A) This produced from those conditions existent in the reflexes from the upper dorsal and cervical region. With the correction of the conditions, these conditions will disappear.
19. (Q) How often should the manipulations be given? (A) These should be at least twice each week, and before the application of the sinusoidal. The sinusoidal immediately following will make it more effective. When the throat irritation is of any great extent, until after at least three or four such treatments have been given, we will find that by dissolving two to three - one, two or five grain tablets of Calcidin - and this sipped in HOT water every hour or so - will immediately RELIEVE this tickling, and the dryness or the irritation in larynx and throat.
20. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n office " " Research Department " " Cayce Hospital
