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 suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [5379].
3. Now, as we find, there are disturbances in the developments of this body. In some time back there was an injury to the end of the spine so that the coccyx end of the spine is turned in to the side and this causes the conditions which develop in the right side, especially in the area of the umbilical and lacteal duct, and these at certain periods will increase unless corrected because the spasmodic reaction is to the medulla oblongata, the larger nerve center in the base of the brain, which causes contractions and spasmodic reactions.
4. As we find, we would first begin and remove the lesions which have been and are indicated existent in the lacteal duct area. We would have these corrections for the spine made osteopathically by such as Ober [Vincent H. Ober, D.O.].
5. Then use Castor Oil Packs over the gall duct or the right side. Put them on about three thicknesses of flannel, then apply electric pad or heavy salt heated and then apply over the oil; this should be applied directly to the body. Sponge off the body, after taking this off, with a weak soda solution.
6. When there are the attacks, until there are the corrections made, hold a cold cloth back of the head along the neck and we will find it will be much easier for the body.
7. But these adjustments and packs should correct these conditions.
8. Do not take quantities of sweets at any time. Do take
5379-1 Page 2
the leafy vegetables as portions of the diet. Not too much fats. Never any hog meat, save breakfast bacon. Sweets should consist of honey or corn syrup, these taken in moderation, only in fall of the year or winter.
9. Do these and we should bring corrections for this body.
10. Ready for questions.
11. (Q) How long should the Castor Oil Pack be kept up and how often? (A) Keep up the Packs until the corrections and the lesions in the area are broken up. These should be taken by periods, three days at a time, an hour each day. Follow same with two teaspoonfuls of Olive Oil. We wish to clear the alimentary canal and keep it clear, and then do have those corrections made. Leave off these packs after three days for two weeks and then give them again. Have at least two series of the corrections made about ten treatments in each series, with two weeks between the two periods of treatments. Use about twice a week, and the packs three days each week, skip a week, then three days again.
12. (Q) Should I continue to hold her when she has these spells, until corrections can be made? (A) As has been indicated, let it rest but keep the feet high and put cold water or ice water back of the neck on cloth.
13. (Q) Did this condition come from injury at birth or just what caused it? (A) She was set down too hard.
14. (Q) Any advice to the parents in aiding the child? (A) Don't be impatient. Do follow through. You have a great soul here.
