1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [5601]. Now, we find the abnormal condition as exist have to do with the eliminations of the system; also the specific conditions as exist as causes these conditions; then the effect as is created, or impulses as are exhibited from existent conditions.
2. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [5601] we are speaking of, present in this room.
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this shows the variations as are exhibited in same, through the condition of toxic forces exhibited in the eliminating and eliminations through the EXISTENT condition.
4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, we find there are existent subluxations, or impingements existent in the cerebrospinal system, that has had much to do with the position and condition in the alimentary canal, and the effects as are created in the vegetative nerve system. In the 9th, 10th and 12th dorsal centers do we particularly find these conditions existent; so that the reflexes from these have prevented that activity of the whole of the intestinal system, as to carry on the proper peristaltic activity through the system. The tendency of a decreased circulation, making for a high hepatic circulation, especially in the upper portion. The tendency of the pressures has been to deflect the activity of the kidneys and the liver; so that at times there is an over-activity in the kidneys, then again a suppression of the proper functioning. The condition in the liver, spleen, pancreas, and the activity of the system as regarding assimilation, also becomes deflected, and we have produced a prolapsus in the ascending, or at the cross of the transverse and ascending colon. This forms, then, the basis of the conditions as disturb this body, as we find them. The conditions as result from same, whether as to indigestion or from a quick heart action, or the conditions in the head at

times, THESE are reflex - and with the REMOVAL of conditions PRODUCING same, we would find a much nearer normal functioning of the body throughout. It will be found necessary that those impingements be relieved, as well as applications made for the conditions as have been produced, but for PERMANENT relief the CAUSE of conditions must be removed. This will require time, patience and persistence, and at least sufficient time must be taken would there be the permanent relief to form for the system that of the strengthening of the muscular forces of the nerve plexus as have failed in their activity through the inactive forces from impingements in the cerebrospinal centers.
5. In meeting, then, the needs of the conditions, we would apply those forces in manipulative or corrective measures as to relieve those conditions existent in the lower dorsal, and necessarily the relaxing of those in the upper dorsal and cervical to be in coordination with the rest of the system.
6. We would be mindful of the diet, that the tendency is to create more of lacteals and less of the acid in system; also keeping those cleansing solutions, or those of the cleansing OF colon; so that there is less toxics in the system.
7. These, as we find, will bring about a much nearer NORMAL condition for this body, [5601]. Ready for questions.
8. (Q) What causes the continual aching? (A) That of the metabolism of the system. The disturbed circulation.
9. (Q) Why does the body not sleep well? (A) Produced by the nerve pressures, that tend to make for improper coordination between sympathetic and cerebrospinal system; for the cerebrospinal is to the whole of the physical body as of that of IMPULSE to carry out conditions of the living physical organism, while the sympathetic system is rather that of the imaginative, or akin to the psychic and to the operative forces of the brain centers and impulses. Without coordination, these bring restlessness and insomnia.
10. (Q) How often should manipulations be given? (A) It will be found that as much rest as possible will be needed in between the manipulations, which shall be at least once each week for CORRECTIVE measures and at least once or twice each week for the general relaxing for responsive measures in the system.
11. (Q) How often should the irrigations be given? (A) That depends upon the amount of diet and the amount of activity of the physical body.
12. (Q) What should the diet be?
5601-1 Page 3
(A) As indicated, keep that more of the building for lacteals; that is, lacteals in this sense meaning not only that of the non-acid, but that builds for the proper character of fermentations as take place in an organism for ITS assimilation. Not only do we say foods as enter the stomach must be those of an alkalin, for those of the first of the glands as secrete are alkalin in nature, but when food has been acted upon by the digestive fluids of the stomach, they turn again into the system, or should, in an alkalin reaction, but of the NATURE more of lacteals, or of a milky, carrying those of an alkali, but alkali only in reaction of the nature of that known as ALCOHOLIC in its content. This, then, shall be kept in a state where assimilations are well balanced, so that as circulation picks up same there is not ACID carried in the system; keeping an equal balance between the NECESSARY forces of a white and red blood supply, and NOT an OVER activity - as is exhibited in this system, of a portion or character of white blood that makes for the toughness, or the condition where there is an attempting to ward off poisons assimilated through the mesenteric and through that of the vegetative system.
13. (Q) Regarding the broken leg, is there a perfect recovery? (A) The conditions, as we find as exist, are in the nature of a perfect recovery; but the troubles being that the system attempting to create that of the perfect coagulating forces as related to the structural portion of system, as well as of the cartilaginous and the ossification as is necessary, takes place in the knitting of bone or of structural portions - these being low, the condition has been much SLOWER than SHOULD have been, under a NORMAL condition in the system.
14. That is all the questions.
15. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n office " " Research Department " " Dr. Lydic
