1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [4588]. Now, as we find, there are specific conditions that cause the disorders in the physical forces of the body. While the results of these specific disorders are at times CALLED causes, as WE find they are RATHER results than causes, though the effects or the results have PRODUCED conditions in the functioning of the system to such an extent that these (that is, the effects and causes) are to be considered in applying that which would bring about a normal condition.
2. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [4588] we are speaking of:
3. In the BLOOD SUPPLY we find an inactive force that is a form of anemia, produced by a developing body attempting to create sufficient of the warriors in the system to care for the POISONS that are being produced by local infections which occur in the system. These make for - that is, this attempt to produce - a general strain on the system, so that the body does not keep the proper weight, does not have the proper digestion, the proper assimilation, the proper ACTIVITIES are not POSSIBLE hardly FOR the body under this DEPLETED condition! This apparently affects the lungs at times, which it would, by the blood carrying so much of the red blood cells that carry little or no oxygen, from the lack of the system's being in proper tone through infection.
4. In the NERVE SYSTEM we find that that may be termed as the seat, or the causes of disorders or distresses. While we find the body a DEVELOPING, a GROWING body, yet we find in the cerebrospinal system there are impingements that prevent the normal flow of blood to the head, especially to the central nervous forces of the nasal cavities, the antrums, the eyes - THAT portion of the system - where the eyes are shown to be as out of alignment, the impingement has, does produce the irritations, the inability of the body to FOCUS properly in eyes. In the affectation same produces in the soft tissue of the face, prevents the normal and nominal eliminations from the system, see? leaving those
4588-1 Page 2
conditions to become as impediments in the soft tissue in nose, in antrum, in the face itself. So much vitality in a developing body has prevented this from becoming LOCALIZED, except at times when cold or congestion arises, when we have trouble with throat, trouble with lungs, trouble with breathing, and depressions; and we must sooner or later come to a general debilitation, with an asthmatic effect - which occurs at times in the condition in the present.
5. To REMOVE same, as we would find - for this affects the whole general system, as we may see how it affects the whole general system in the functioning of organs - we would not of NECESSITY remove to a different climatic condition; not necessarily in the BEGINNING perform OPERATIONS, until there has been sufficient separation or segregation in the system, at least that the operative forces would be beneficial, NOT producing that which would become DETRIMENTAL; for under existent conditions it would be hard for proper coagulations to take place, and would require a long-drawn-out condition, and would NECESSITATE where the body would obtain a great deal more oxygen for recuperative forces; but, rather would we begin, as soon as there is a relax in the activities of the body, under the proper direction, proper supervision of one who may, make those ADJUSTMENTS necessary in the cerebrospinal system to CORRECT the flow of blood supply TO the head, TO the neck, TO the nasal cavities, TO the eyes; at the SAME TIME such an one should be capable of taking care OF the LOCAL conditions as will arise by the system's adjustments, making segregations that will be necessary TO remove by local treatments, until the body may set up the proper DRAINAGES in a NORMAL way and manner, see?
6. Then, under such supervision as may be termed a specialist in osteopathic adjustments, with the abilities to apply those things necessary for throat, nasal conditions, eyes. No operative forces in the present, until CORRECTIONS have been made, until drainages have been set up, until the blood supply has been so altered and changed by the diets that would be outlined for the body under such supervision as to become blood BUILDING, oxygen carrying; taking with these the animated or carbon forces (animated or carbon ash) that will carry INTO the system - WITH the assimilated forces - the oxygen necessary to PRODUCE an enlivening force in the blood supply as it is created in the system. The quantity as would be taken with the manipulative forces, as would be begun in the first - or, we would begin as this:
7. The manipulative forces or corrections in the cerebrospinal system, osteopathically given, by a specialist in the adjustments for the sensory organisms of
4588-1 Page 3
the body - see? These would be made at least twice to three times each week, or twice a week adjustments and once a week a general treatment. Each day that these treatments are given, thirty minutes before the treatment is begun give one-eighth grain animated ash. When through the treatment, apply the ultra-violet ray over the upper dorsal and cervical region from one to three minutes, at least thirty-eight to forty-eight inches from the body - see? Then, after this has been taken for at least TWENTY-SIX treatments altogether, we will find that LOCAL applications in the nasal cavity, in the face - if these have NOT been set up, will need local anaesthesia to remove drosses, that will allow the system to become a NORMAL draining force without detrimental forces to the body.
8. The blood supply will be built up by the use of those forces as will aid the system in carrying on in a more body-building, blood-building, nerve-building force; for when the nerves are RELEASED they will of THEMSELVES respond. Do that. Ready for questions. We are through for the present.
