1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time. You will diagnose the case thoroughly, giving the cause of the existing conditions; also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here.
3. Now, we find there are those conditions that prevent the full normal functioning of the organs in this body. They have to do with the torso, or mesenteric system, and the organs of the trunk portion of body, with reflexes to other portions.
4. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body. Not that the body is in that condition of not being able to carry on, in a way and manner, but not a normal condition exists, and the body labors under stress at times.
5. While many minor conditions exist reflexly, these, as WE find, cause the greater distress:
6. In times back there was received in the body that which caused first an adhesion in the left side, near the descending colon, and this prevented, then, the full normal functioning of the ejections from the system. Then, the adhesion caused, the organs of the pelvis gave some trouble in their normal functioning, causing some distress to the functioning of the mesenteric system, and producing inflammation, which reflexly affected the hepatic circulation. Then, with congestion, the menses became irregular. This has improved with the actions of the body, yet the nerve system becoming so overcharged, then assuming those conditions later that brought on distress in the functioning of the glands of the system - especially the ductless glands - with these conditions produced, then we had the breaking down, as it were, of the abilities of all of the glands to function in coordination - which, as is seen, is necessary, when it is considered that all of living organism is of such vibratory nature that each portion of the system must take from that assimilated to build through its plasmatic cell system that which will rejuvenate,
4390-1 Page 2
rebuild, re-supply, or re-furnish the system with the necessary portions of the organism to rebuild or replenish themselves. With this adhesion we find, then, the system tended to be laggard in its elimination through these channels. Then we find, with the circulation disturbed, and with the nerve system under high tension, we had an excess of capillary circulation - hot and cold flushes over the body at times, headaches tend to disturb the equilibrium of the body, pressure seemed to be at the back of the head and on top of the head, depressions and nausea at times. These only reflexes of a general disturbance in the system, and sympathetically the whole organism out of balance, yet soon does the body recuperate from these conditions - for this is as of a sympathetic condition, and the body being over sympathetic in its functioning finds the reactions to and fro, as it were, to be very active.
7. In the general debilitation of the system, we find that the throat, bronchials, and the larynx, at times respond to this condition, and the fullness as is seen in the throat and about this portion of the body is a plethora, as is caused by the blood supply and the nerve system attempting to create an equilibrium from those conditions as are created by the unbalancing of the glands in the body, see?
8. No organic conditions, as we find, existent. No conditions where the plethora has taken on such conditions as to necessitate any condition, other than that of producing an extra amount of elimination, of relaxing the body sufficiently to overcome the lesions as exist in this lower dorsal and lumbar region, see? by stimulating there, and by creating such an equilibrium in the body that will overcome these conditions, see?
9. To do this, we would first, through deep manipulations, osteopathically given, correct the cerebrospinal nerve system. These should be given after the body has been thoroughly relaxed, either by dry or by wet baths, that tend to set up an extra amount of elimination through respiratory system - either by dry cabinet or heat cabinet, as given, see? Either one will relax the system. Then immediately the manipulations should be given. These, then, will reduce the condition and cause the general system to take on that proper amount of resistance to bring about the better eliminations in the body. Naturally, with the ELIMINATIONS being set up, the ASSIMILATION will be increased, see? and with increased assimilation the vibratory force as will be set by using that of the plain Radium Appliance, will clarify blood stream and create that vibratory force that will enliven the glands in the system to that extent where
4390-1 Page 3
their normalcy will be brought about in the body.
10. We would take at least thirteen (13) osteopathic adjustments, and at least thirteen (13) such baths, or steaming or vapor baths, see? before the treatments are given, and while the body is relaxed the treatments should be given.
11. Do that.
12. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) Is an operation necessary for this body? (A) Not under existing conditions, no. If she will carry out these as have been given for the correction of the condition, we see that none would ever be necessary, under conditions that would arise in the system.
14. We are through for the present.
