1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [4530]. Now, in the physical forces of the body we find disturbances that are aggravating to the physical functioning of organs, and - as we find - these may be corrected, that the body may function the nearer normal. There is, as we find, in the cerebrospinal nervous system some impingements that have been produced by conditions or disorders as have existed in the system. These at the time - these ailments - made for those thickening of the tissue about segments, and have produced pressure that has given improper incentives through the mesenteric system, or the intestinal tract. These, in producing toxins in the system, have brought about disorders with the organs of elimination, as WELL as to the circulatory system itself; so that there are periods that come and go when the disorders are more severe, or more aggravating than at others. The pressures being in the region of the solar plexus, or the lower portion of same, and in the lumbar region, make for the disorders as have to do with the digestive system, the eliminating system, the conditions as exist in the blood supply, the headaches, those conditions as make for pressures reflexly in the sensory system - so that the organs of same become at times accentuated in their actions, as the body is able to hear better at some times than others; at others we find the vision gives disorders; again we will find the throat and bronchi will give some distress, more as burning sensations; then, again, as of phlegm, not from just cold, but seemingly as result from pressures in the bronchi, or from the stomach, and from the upper portion of the left lung. These are more of a REFLEX than of the causes, for - as given - the causes are pressures and impingements as exist in the 8th, 9th and 10th dorsal, and in the 3rd and 4th lumbar plexus. This condition at times, reflexly, produces that aggravation to the lower limbs, so that the circulation is disturbed there. This makes also for those conditions in
4530-1 Page 2
which at times - not always, for any condition that will clarify the system as to poisons aids in their functioning - these becoming at times such that the kidneys in their functioning are over active; at others not as free in acting as they should be. This makes for that distress, then, in the hepatic circulation, or that functioning between the liver and the kidneys, so that the disturbances in the stomach itself, or particularly in the duodenum, or the duodenal orifice, becomes - as it were - expanded, and acidity becomes the result in the system. There is less of the activity in the peristaltic movement of the colon than there should be, produced by a low temperature, as is produced by the system attempting to supply sufficient of those of the serums, or of the fluids of the system, to carry on its normal functioning. Heartburn, or indigestion, the result of same.
2. In meeting, then, the needs of the conditions with this body, [4530], we are speaking of, present in this room, we would first make those proper corrections and adjustments, so that the lesions in these areas as given are broken up; making for, during that same period, that of the proper correlation of the gastric juices of the stomach proper, so that the blood supply becomes a nearer NORMAL reaction, so that the capillary and internal circulation does not make for that feeling as occurs at times of easy tired; again as, apparently, that the outer body and the inner body are almost separated by conditions or feelings in the system. These, as we find, are the ACTIVITIES of the system attempting to adjust itself.
3. With these corrections, with those properties as will make for CLEANSING the body, correcting those subluxations and breaking up the lesions, will make for a nearer normal condition; and the body ridding the cause, will remove many of those disorders as occur in action with these conditions.
4. We would use also during those periods, to make for rest, that of the violet ray; this applied PARTICULARLY across the body at the diaphragm region, in the solar plexus center from the back, solar plexus center from the front, that there be sufficient of the electrical forces as make for vibrations in system to coordinate with the centers as are being relieved of the pressure. Ready for questions.
5. (Q) Has the body any organic trouble? (A) Only functioning, through those pressures on the nervous system, as makes for the distortion in action; not organic troubles.
6. (Q) Why does the body feel depressed at times? (A) With as much pressure on the central brain of the
4530-1 Page 3
system as is exhibited in this region, it's a WONDER the body doesn't feel more depressed oftener! Other than being highly mentally balanced, there would be more depressions and more melancholia! We would remove the pressures, and we will find a condition of pep, vitality, buoyancy, and a brighter outlook on the world.
7. (Q) Should this be done osteopathically or chiropractically? (A) Should be done, as we find, osteopathically; for with the corrections there must be sufficient of the manipulation to make coordination in the CIRCULATORY, as well as in the muscular and nervous systems, so that the general treatment for those radial centers from the solar plexus to head, from solar plexus to lumbar and sacral region, these must have their proper COORDINATING, as well as JUST removing pressure in those conditions, or from those conditions in dorsal and lumbar region.
8. (Q) Has the body any lung irritation? (A) Only when there are those reactions from the circulation and from that in the bronchi, rather than lung. The BURNING through there is in the bronchi, as given, rather than lung proper.
9. (Q) How often and how long at a time should the violet ray be given? (A) When the manipulations and adjustments are made, which should be at least twice each week in the beginning, give the violet ray in those portions of system as given, for one and a half to five minutes. This range being from the beginning to that wherein the system is relaxed most, will aid most - for with much application without a relaxation, there must be the corresponding re-effect upon the system; that is, to give five minutes in the beginning would irritate more than aid, see?
10. (Q) What causes insomnia? (A) This, as has been outlined, the NERVOUSNESS, and the tendency of the brain to be active under abnormal conditions; for when pressure in the cerebrospinal system, especially where the sympathetic centers are radial direct from same, as in solar plexus, these tend to make for sudden awakenings, and then the inability to anaesthetize self by even rest, or counting sheep even.
11. (Q) Will the condition entirely disappear if treatment is followed? and how long will it take? (A) Two to three weeks should, with the proper responses - and not, now, because the body feels better - don't think it can commence and do just as it has been doing! Where the mental forces have been overtaxed so, so that the strain on the whole nervous system - and as soon as it commences to
4530-1 Page 4
feel better start again to overtax the body, physically and mentally, won't aid much! Take TIME to get in the proper physical condition, and it'll save much later on. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n office " " Research Department " " Dr. Lydic (2 copies)
