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. You will also answer any questions I shall ask you regarding the physical conditions of this body.
2. EC: Now we find there are many abnormal conditions in this body, and many of these may be corrected in their entirety in the physical. These at first had to do with eliminations in the body. These at present have to do with assimilation and with conditions produced in the functioning of the organs of the body, and of the locomotories and the tendrons in the locomotion.
3. Now these are conditions as we find them in this body, [4529] we are speaking of.
4. Now, in giving the conditions in this body, and the cause, we will of necessity have the correlation of conditions and of cause.
5. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, we find this very good at the present time in many respects, yet there is in the whole circulation those signs of conditions as has been brought about, and that has produced much of the conditions in the body.
6. At the present in circulation the vasomotor circulation involved in blood supply more than other portions.
7. In constituents and elements we find dregs of those same poisons as has produced the condition in the system. In the division, we find sufficient red blood even to a pressure in heart's forces, yet deficient in the rebuilding in the coagulation created in the blood stream, except at times.
8. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, in the centers in cerebrospinal nerve system do we find the seat, or the first beginning, of the troubles of this body. These we find begun in the sacral and in the ilium plexuses. First as a heaviness to the sacral region, with indications of a full circulation.
4529-1 Page 2
Kidneys heavy in their excretions. Then we begun to have in the centers from locomotion those contractions of muscular forces in tendron, as in the knee, in the sciatic nerve, in the shoulder and brachial plexus; this lesion thus formed producing the lazy, or subnormal, action of kidney, leaving uric acid in the system. The body vitally strong resisted through hepatic circulation. Hence with inflammation produced, the mesenteric gland took on this inflammation. Hence the lower dorsal (in the 12th) showed the reaction, and the digestion became bad - a nerve digestion, taxed through hypogastric nerve plexus and the ganglion that gives the nutriment to the ilium region became inflamed, sympathetically, gave reaction in the pneumogastric plexus. The system taking on these inflammations, and not eliminated through their proper channels, sediments begun to show in hepatic circulation and in capillary circulation, attacking the lymphatic centers, causing contraction in arm, in limbs, in body, producing neuralgial conditions in face, in neck. These were the fore-runners of conditions now existing in this body, [4529] we are speaking of.
9. In the nerve system at present, we find so overtaxed in cerebrospinal, in the ilium and sacral plexus, that each center where sympathetic nerve connects with the ganglions fed by the cerebrospinal cord proper, shows the contraction, and the contraction in muscular forces along the spine, such as to even curve the end of spine and bring the impinioned condition in the cerebrospinal cord in many centers (that is, the plexus that comes from the cerebrospinal cord; not the cord itself). This we find in the 3rd segment of coccyx, in the 2nd lumbar, and throughout the sacrum. In the 12th dorsal, in the 8th dorsal, in the 1st, 2nd, dorsal, the 4th and 3rd cervical; all of these show these contractions. In the reaction of these we find a blood supply that is given with a liver torpid in action, yet the secretions in the mesenteric system often become alarming to the body, for the digestion as taking place in the intestines is of more of mesenteric conditions than of the condition that brings poisons, or of that of constipation.
10. IN THE ORGANS OF THE BODY, we find all at present under the strain of these conditions as are produced, and have been produced, yet not organically deranged, save as under the strain of the body.
11. Then to bring the normal condition for this body, and to relieve those distresses, we would either, through the operation for the sympathetic nerve system, disconnect those at these centers and allow the cerebrospinal to supply and
4529-1 Page 3
relieve the system and become sympathetically deranged, or we would through care, patience and attention, apply these properties to the body and bring about the assimilation and eliminations through their proper channels, until we bring equilibrium throughout the body. These would be the manner to bring these about:
12. First, be necessary that hot vapor baths be given the body until the body creates an elimination through capillary circulation; straining and weakening on the system, yet taking after such treatment those properties that will force the system, physically, to be able to bring back that vital force necessary to give the correct incentives throughout the system. Taking such vapor baths at least once each week. After the body has rested from such baths, massage and knead into the body equal parts of pure grain alcohol and olive oil, in all cerebrospinal centers. After these have been taken (baths and rubs) for three to four weeks, begin through the massage and neuropathic forces to correct the impingements in the cerebrospinal system; in coccyx, in sacral, in lumbar, in dorsal, in cervical, adjust a little at the time.
13. Diet will be in accord with the response the body makes to these treatments. When these have been taken for three months, we would give further instructions from here.
14. We are through for the present.
