1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [4345]. Now, as we find, there are specific conditions that disturb the physical functioning of the organs of the body. These, as we find, are more in the nature of reflex conditions, in the disturbing of the functioning organs, but are of specific nature in their condition.
2. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [4345]:
3. First, in the BLOOD supply, this we find shows in its elementals the nature or cause of the disturbance, in the manner in which the circulation takes place; it being rather of the superficial circulation, or slower in its action in the return to the heart than in its flow from the heart to portions of the system. Hence producing in the heart's action itself a high pressure in the conditions of the system. This makes for the inability of the full or complete activities that might be experienced were there a normal coordination between the arterial and venous circulation.
4. The elements of the blood itself show there are toxic forces, then, that produce this condition. Hence a variation may be seen in the constituents of same, as there may be specifically seen the great variation in the specific gravity of the urine itself, and of the manner in which the circulation through the hepatics is altered at times. The toxic forces, then, must exist in the system that is governed by this hepatic circulation, or in the hepatic circulation. The condition of the liver itself also indicates this condition, for there is not the proper coordination in the excretory and secretive functioning of the organ itself. Not so much in the organ as the organ's function, but the FUNCTIONING system OF the organ produces this condition in the system. Produced in return by the nature of the circulation THROUGH the organ.
5. In the NERVOUS system we find there are hindrances
4345-1 Page 2
created by this improper coordination in the circulation, and we have a correspondent disturbance between the sympathetic and cerebrospinal circulation. Hence we find there are reflexes that cause at times those disturbances with the organs of the sensory system, or that are governed principally in their reaction to the senses; so that the eyes at times give disorders, as dull - and not visioning as properly as should; things taste abnormal at times to the body, the appetite not as keen as it should be - even with those diversions that are attempted by the manner of diet that has been outlined for the body at times; the ear at times gives forth those disturbings in the hearing, and a drumming or roaring at times in same. These are but signs, or the reactions which show that disturbances exist, and are not causes - but the SIGNS of conditions that disturb the functioning system.
6. In the ORGANS themselves, these are affected by the condition:
7. The brain forces at times are not as keen in their perception, and the body at times feels there is not as keen a response to the manner the body would think things out in its way of discernment - and these make for those disagreements, as it were, with self, and the seeking out for the causes of these; and a tendency to feel there should be stimulation in some way or manner for a more keen perception. Hence throws the whole general system out of balance without being able to say just WHAT is the reason, or the cause, and - as we find - this then is rather of a subtle nature, but - as we shall see - may be removed from the system so there may be a better reaction.
8. In the throat, bronchi and lungs, these are very good considering conditions, yet this fullness appears in all at times.
9. Heart's action shows the condition that exists as of pressure, and must gradually make for - with the manner of the circulation, unless corrected - an enlarged organ itself, in that - attempting to pump the circulation, as it were, when slow in returning - it makes for that often heard, in the tests of same, as a gurgitation; which denotes - as also the other tests - a pressure in the blood supply.
10. The digestive system is rather spasmodic in its activity, so that things that agree at times do not agree at others.
11. The causes, then, as we find, are dilations in the colon itself. As we would find, an X-Ray would prove this conclusively to the body, were this taken with the manner in which these are classed at the present time or period.
4345-1 Page 3
This, as we find, exists in the ascending and the first portion of the transverse colon area, and these make for the toxic forces that appear in the system, and - producing the disturbance sympathetically in the heart's action, and the pressure that exists in the hepatic circulation - making for those disturbances that come and go between the kidneys and the liver themselves, as well as the other conditions.
12. In meeting, then, the needs of the conditions as we find for this body, [4345]:
13. First, we would begin with those irrigations that will relieve those pressures in the colon area throughout. Continue these, not to the detriment, not so that the activities of the lymph and the peristaltic movement of the colon or the intestinal system are entirely lost, but of sufficient frequency to eventually CLEANSE the colon itself THOROUGHLY, and allow the reactions to come in such a nature as to form normalcy in the eliminations; for, as in times back, the body has suffered from first the tendency for constipation, later the folds or hemorrhoid reaction in the lower portion of the colon and throughout the area of the system in its ejection period, or areas; and THESE are then as effects that CAUSED these conditions (the toxic forces). These have produced the pressures in the organs of the hepatic circulation, or liver and kidneys and the colon itself, and the signs of same are created in the blood stream itself, or pressure, or improper coordination between venous circulation and arterial circulation.
14. In the manner, then, that these would be relieved - or these applied:
15. First, every two weeks - until four or six such colonics are had. In using these, there should be plenty of intestinal antiseptics used after the cleansing, so there is as little irritation as may be had.
16. We would also, BETWEEN those periods, have at least two to three general manipulations osteopathically (that is, between each two week period), stimulating the centers of the cerebrospinal and sympathetic that make for activities in the system as related to the digestion. It would be better to have two of these treatments each week.
17. After the sixth colonic irrigation, or when this is thoroughly cleansed, these need only be taken sufficiently to KEEP this condition from forming again in the body.
18. In the matter of diet, these will be kept in the order that there is sufficient quantity of food for weight, but not the greases or fats that make for a hard digestion - at least not a great deal until there is the better condition established in the hepatic circulation, and until this
4345-1 Page 4
pressure has been relieved.
19. These, we will find, will aid in bringing about a near normal condition for this body of [4345].
20. Ready for questions.
21. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " File " " H. M. Goetz
