1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body. You will answer any questions regarding same that I may ask you.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here.
3. Now, we find the body is very good in many respects. While there are - and have been - those disturbing conditions in the physical forces of the body, these - as we find - may be brought near to the normal forces through those conditions that will meet the needs of the disturbing factors in the physical functioning of the body.
4. These are the conditions as we find them with this body, [4512] we are speaking of. First:
5. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find is in that condition of being subnormal in some manners, and over-active in others. In this is meant: We find the pressure, the heart's action, shows the effect of a deep circulation, rather than of the full capillary circulation. Hence we have through this channel a disturbance in the eliminations of the body. Hence this condition becomes depressing at times to the heart's action, and to the reflexes from the circulation. Especially, then, does the body become - through this manner - as one very susceptible to altitude, or to sudden changes.
6. In the elements and constituents of the blood we find as these:
7. There being - with this deep circulation, and not a full capillary or vein circulation - many conditions in the body wherein the extremities become, as it were, unstable - or soon tired out, by the lack of the normal rebuilding forces necessary to carry on the energies of the body. The feet become as heavy - the hands become as leaden, in the circulation as produced by this disturbed circulation.
8. The cause of same we will see in the physical structure and in the functioning of organs.
4512-1 Page 2
9. IN THE NERVE SUPPLY, in this we find many of the causes, or the seat of disturbances. While the body-physical would not like to be called one of a nervous temperament, or one of an easy disturbed nervous condition or position; yet this condition often INWARDLY appears to the physical functionings of the body, produced by those conditions existent in many of the centers along the cerebrospinal system that have been weakened through those conditions existent in the pulmonaries, in the effect created in various centers supplying those portions of the body that have to do with the distribution of blood forces in the body.
10. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, in the brain forces good. In discrimination, in discernment, above the ordinary. In the functioning then of this portion to the body, we find that this has often - through stress - kept the body, when seemingly the physical heart even would not function to carry out the desires and the dictates of the central brain force.
11. In the functioning of the organs of the sensory system - these are very good, considering the stress, the strain, under which these have often labored for the better coordination in the body.
12. Throat, bronchials, lungs, and larynx:
13. In the lungs, this shows the effect of the disturbance through a forced circulation. Hence the tendency as to create that of the effect as is produced by the lungs as inhale and as they exhale; for the lungs, while not in that condition of being physically or organically in a distressed condition, show the effect of a full pulsation. Hence easy to feel the smothery feeling, or the action of a repression in rarefied air, or sudden change.
14. In the digestive system:
15. This shows the digestion very good in the present state, though there is seen that - with the blood needing, with the system needing replenishing, rebuilding new blood supply to the body - it is necessary to be careful of that which would cause any disturbance to the mesenteric system, or that would be easy to cause the reaction toward the acidity forming in this portion of the body.
16. In the heart's action - this good, under existent condition.
17. The general debilitation, caused by weakness, by overtaxation - then, the cause - with the lung pressure of the abnormality that occurs at times.
18. The kidneys and the hepatic circulation show that these have been and are at times over-taxed, through the abilities
4512-1 Page 3
to bring about normal eliminations when capillary circulation is poor, and when the distribution of used forces are forces to be eliminated through either of these channels in its entirety.
19. Then, to bring the normal forces for this body:
20. First we would, through the proper manipulation osteopathically given, correct those disturbances in distributing centers of nerve reaction and nerve supply to the organs of the body - especially to the secondary cardiac plexus. To the solar plexus stimulation. To the lumbar and dorsal plexus stimulation. These should be given for at least twenty-six (26) treatments and adjustments.
21. Being careful of the diet.
22. And applying those properties as are found in the Double X Radium Appliance, to give the better stimulus to the nerve supply and to add to the blood supply, through the replenishing and building up of more red blood, and adding to that of the leucocyte to meet the needs of vital forces in the body.
23. Do that. Ready for questions.
24. (Q) Where can he get this treatment given properly? (A) Wherever he so desires - wherever the sojourn is found. The altitude here is not as the best, at and under present conditions - though, were these conditions or these appliances given under the present surroundings, the vitality and the replenishing and rebuilding forces would add quickly. To the higher clime is the better, or a more UNIFORM clime is better under EXISTENT conditions - unless these forces as given were applied - in that case here would be excellent. Then take sand and sea baths occasionally, but never over taxing the body physically or mentally. Never strain the mental forces, nor never over-tax the physical abilities - for one, as is seen, is dependent upon the other. While many peoples depend - many peoples are awaiting the efforts of the body - do not spend self too much until there is full recuperation; for much may be accomplished for many through the efforts of THIS body, physically and mentally.
25. (Q) Should the body take any medicinal properties any time? (A) When these conditions as are given - or applications as are given - are begun, not necessary for medicinal properties, except occasionally. Until then take those properties as have been given for the stimulation, but never as a sedative stimulation. More of rest, more of that necessary to build strength and vitality needed. This may be accomplished here, and would be faster - with sand and sun - with the vibratory forces from the osteopathic
4512-1 Page 4
adjustments that bring about correlation and coordination (this is more often feared by the body). Hence the necessity of consistent coordination with physical and mental abilities.
26. (Q) What should the diet be? (A) The diet has been outlined for the body. Without changes in the physical application, we would not change from these. Never that, however, that is hard for the body to assimilate - for the forces, as are seen, are disturbed in elimination. In disturbance in assimilation would be all the harder for the body. Hence that as has been given is to create the proper distribution of the vital forces of body, so that better coordination is set up and eliminations are kept up. The diet given is good, and that should be stayed in the way that gives the best for the body. Necessary changes are seen occasionally - but those properties carrying the most iron, the most of silicon, and of STABILIZING forces for nerve and blood, are the better.
27. (Q) Would the Stafford Springs mineral water be good for this body? (A) VERY good.
28. (Q) Should the body continue the same medical treatment and the osteopathic treatment also? (A) Do not discontinue medical treatment until the osteopathic treatment and the appliance are active in the system.
29. (Q) Should the body take Digifoline? (A) Digifoline is as the active principles for that condition with the heart. Under the present stresses and strains, WELL. When there is stimulation to the plexus as govern the heart - through the secondary cardiac - and when the body is receiving vibrations from that of the Radium active forces, then these will not be necessary - save occasionally, when the body overtaxes itself - the digitalin will be well, see - but this kept up WEAKENS the vitality.
30. (Q) What exercises should the body take? (A) Take sufficient to start and keep up the stimulation of and toward eliminations. Never over-taxing self physically or mentally, as given, until more resistance is builded in the body.
31. (Q) Should the body engage in another political campaign? (A) As given, there are many calls for the body's physical and mental abilities. Do not over-tax same. There is the call, however, for the body to engage in service for the people of the body's land. Fail not in that service as has been, and as will be, rendered through the body's endeavors.
4512-1 Page 5
Do that - for keeping in that oneness with the purposes of the creative energies is building for the body, and is rendering aid to fellow man - which is the highest service to God.
32. We are through for the present.
