Time of Reading At his office, 11:15 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. New York City. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [4661] and those conditions physical as surround the body. We find there are disorders that may be corrected in the physical forces of the body, that the physical may function the nearer normal - and these, we find, have to do with specific conditions that exist in the physical functioning of the body, hindering in the eliminations and the circulations of the physical body.
2. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [4661].
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find shows an uneven balance. Not that the pressure is so abnormal, though THIS we find somewhat below normal. The divisions in the constituents or elements of the blood supply show a distress in the system's attempting to adjust self to those disorders or pressures as exist in system, that prevent the PROPER circulation. Hence the urea, the glucose, are unbalanced, making for some change in the CELL count in the blood supply also.
4. IN THE NERVOUS SYSTEM, here we find the greater disorder, and may be rightly termed the seat or the cause of the distresses that are produced in the system. There exist two very decided lesions in the cerebrospinal system, so that the nerve plexuses in these centers make for improper distribution of lymph circulation, as well as of nerve energies WITH the circulatory system. These we find in the last dorsal and upper lumbar, and in the coordinate reflex through the upper or lower portion of the cervical and upper dorsal. Hence these conditions are as a result of these pressures, and the manner or character of the lesions make for a nervous temperament - with pains in shoulders, neck, head; ringing at times in ears; tendency to produce an over abundance of lymph circulation in mouth and nasal portions of body; TREMBLING in the hands and arms. From the lower centers, a disturbed circulation in the lower extremities, reaching - to be sure - through those locomotary centers from the lower portion, forming perspiration in feet,
4661-1 Page 2
tendency for cold and clammy sensations at times, making for those conditions in the lower portion of the nerve ENDS to limbs - as makes for disorders in heels, ankles, tendency toward the feet disorder, as well as accumulations - or sore feet, callous conditions resulting in same; circulation not being taken away properly through the proper eliminating portions of body.
5. In the SYMPATHETICS, in their coordination or conjunction in the brachial center - the 5th and 6th cervical centers - makes for those tendencies of the distortion in the sensory system. Bad taste at times - not merely from a disturbed digestion, but from reflexes from those conditions in cervical and upper dorsal area.
6. IN THE FUNCTIONING ORGANS, brain forces are very good.
7. Sensory system shows the disturbance from the conditions existent in the cervical and upper dorsal region.
8. Bronchials, lungs and larynx - naturally, from such disorders - show some reflex, though not an organic disturbance; neither is the heart's action other than of nerve reflex conditions.
9. Digestive system - rather that of a NERVOUS indigestion, rather than a functional one - for the balance in the lacteals and the conditions of digestion is very good, CONSIDERING other conditions. Not that these disorders from same do not arise, and at times an excess of acidity exists in the digestive forces of system, but these are rather reflex than of causes - or even effects, except at periods, or TEMPORARY conditions.
10. In the functioning of spleen, liver, pancreas - such a condition makes for an engorgement in spleen proper, with a tendency for sugars - or of those that should be as a stimuli towards the characterization of the digestive forces in the lower portion of stomach AND intestinal digestion making for a too full, or the effluvia becomes disordered through reflex forces, rather than organic or even functional. Being, then, more a nervous disorder - even in these functionings, as is indicated by the hepatic circulation itself, where there is at times an over abundance of eliminations through kidneys - while at others sparse, and a tendency to make for sedimentary conditions. NOT an organic disorder, but a functional one, arising from pressures in the system.
11. In the lower intestines and the colon - these we find show the tendency of the poisons to gather, or those toxic forces arising that aid and abet the disorders in the extremities, as well as the nervous disorder of the body.
12. In meeting the needs, then, of the conditions we find
4661-1 Page 3
for this body, [4661], we would first make those proper corrections in the lumbar, lower dorsal, sacral, and cervical regions, OSTEOPATHICALLY, that will loose, or allow a normal circulation through the system. This may not be done too fast, for the corrective forces in removing pressure should not be made more than once each week - while at least two GENERAL treatments will aid and REST the body.
13. Cleanse the colon at least once each week by high enemas or colonic irrigations, being sure there is sufficient of the antiseptic forces in same as to prevent irritation; and such antiseptics should be of those natures that are non-acid in their reaction.
14. Low form of electrical vibrations will also aid materially in quieting, allaying, and assisting the nerve plexus and centers to gain a NORMAL or nominal reflex.
15. Well that, at least every other day, there be a massage of the brachial centers, lumbar centers, with equal parts of Olive Oil and Tincture of Myrrh. These act as foods for centers, allaying the distresses in nerve ends.
16. Bathe feet in a mild or weakened solution of salt water at least two or three times each week; bathing the BOTTOMS of same with Carone Oil, or a mixture of alcohol, Olive Oil and Witchhazel - half and half of the oils and one-third of Witchhazel. These will relieve the pressures, as will also the MANIPULATIONS for the feet and limbs in correcting those irritations to the bursae in the heels and in the feet themselves. These, of course, will not necessitate as long application for correction as will the correcting of the disturbance in the cerebrospinal centers proper.
17. In the matter of diet - let this be a tendency towards an alkaline, rather than even an equal balanced diet. This may be as a sample, though it may be changed to meet the needs of the conditions of the body:
18. Mornings - diet of citrous fruits, prunes, prune whip or prune juices, tomato juices, or figs - so they are not in too much of the syrup. Raisins, and such, may be altered with these also.
19. In the noon - should be rather those of the soups, or a LIQUID diet - and not too hasty in consuming same.
20. In evenings there may be those of a well BALANCED diet, not making too much as weight without considering the assimilating possibilities of that taken.
21. In six to eight weeks we should have a near NORMAL body. Ready for questions. We are through for the present. Copy to Mrs. [1919] " " Ass'n office
