Time of Reading 4:00 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. Bronx, N.Y. (Physical Suggestion - with special consideration of the history of his condition)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [5609]. Now, we find, while there are some disorders in the general physical forces of the body, in most respects the body is very good physically; yet there are rather those conditions of which the body should take warning and have those corrections made while the general physical body is in the condition where the responses would be of a sure and permanent nature. While disorders that have existed in times back are better than they have been, these - as we find - are in the nature of, while permanently relieved of so much of the intense pain as did occur, there are the constant reactions FROM the disorders that indicate that the basis or the cause of these, as first PRODUCED disorders, has not been wholly relieved or corrections made.
2. These conditions, then, are as we find them with this body in the present:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY - This we find very good in most respects. There is a tenderness in the body for the pressure in the blood supply to be abnormal. We shall see this is rather of a reflex nature than a cause, though this in itself with the corrections NOT made would eventually bring about disorders that would be harder to cope with than they would be under the PRESENT conditions or situation.
4. IN THE NERVOUS SYSTEM the body is very good, considered from many respects in this way or manner, yet in others we find to have been the seat or the cause of much of the older disorder; while these came also, as we find, from the excessive conditions tending towards those of constipation, these also - as we find - were produced from the non-activity of the peristaltic movements throughout the system, and the body being - as it were - at times so busy, not taking the precautions or the care, or taking the time for the attending to those calls or those of the activities that should be from the general system, allowed conditions
5609-1 Page 2
to be builded in the system. This gradually broke down those of the descending colon activity, until a prolapsus ensued, and a tendency towards those of the protruding of those forces in the system as of hemorrhoids, that make for the disorders as FROM which those secretions are seen as disturb the body at times in the present. These are from, then, those activities of the cerebrospinal nervous system; this existent condition, then, and that that needs correction, being below - or between the lower lumbar and the sacral area, and in the coccyx area also. This tendency also gives rise to those conditions which become of a nervous nature in the prostrate gland, and MUST - unless corrected - would a strain physically, mentally, or of any overtaxation to the body - bring about a disorder that would be harder to be dealt with; though these CORRECTIONS in the nervous system, that will produce - or that produce those pressures - or pressures are produced from conditions in the nerve system - that would overcome these tendencies, and those conditions in the lower digestive system and in the colon itself, as well as those tendencies that must arise - though they are not so pronounced in the present - as to the kidney disorders, the activities of the bladder, or the specific gravity as seen of urine, in the attempt of the kidneys themselves to care for those INFLAMMATIONS in the minutia, or in the emunctory portions OF the lower pelvic portions of the body. Hence these disorders as appear FROM this condition, a tendency for a sediment at times in urine; this not of an organic nature, rather that of a nerve pressure, with conditions produced in that of the descending colon itself. With the corrections made, then the pressures NOT removed, allow STILL those effects of a FORM of prolapsus as occurs, and of the pressures that exist.
5. Now the reflection from these, are that at times we find the body - the head, through the lower portion of the head, and then to the upper portion, early mornings especially, of a fullness, of a feeling in the eye as of grit or sand, or the depressions as come from those effects in the system THROUGH that of inflammation in the lower portion of the body or torso itself.
6. In the corrections, this will be necessary - that we would apply those either of baths, or preferably - as we would find - of the wet HEAT, see, TO the lumbar, sacral and coccyx regions, WHEN or BEFORE the CORRECTIONS are made - and we would make corrections osteopathically. These would be made at least once each week, though we would have other treatments for a short period of at least TWICE each week - see? Then, when these are made - say for two or three
5609-1 Page 3
weeks, and a couple of corrections made during the time - then we would REST for two or three weeks, and then corrections made again.
7. Now, in the general physical forces - or as to the organic conditions in body:
8. In head and brain forces, these we find very good. There ARE sympathetic conditions as arise at times, from the tendencies toward inflammation in those of the glands, kidneys, and the lower portion of body, that tendency for a swallowing - fullness in throat, not as of phlegm that occurs - though this does occur at times, but tendency to try to keep something down, that does not appear exactly as to what it may be; a FULLNESS occurs, see - sympathetic reflection only; not organic disorders in throat, bronchi, lungs or larynx.
9. In the heart's action, as has been indicated, we have at times a slowed pulsation and an abnormal pressure. These are not organic, but rather those of the SYMPATHETIC reflection from a nervous disturbance as first occurred in the lumbar and sacral region, and later from disorders as occur from the activities as removed those that produced the pressure. Now remove same in the cerebrospinal system, and we will find we will change the pressure. This, as we will find, we will best do by occasionally - not too often for this body, but occasionally have those of the COLONIC irrigations to relieve the pressure in the colon region, so that - as the corrections are made in the cerebrospinal system - these may REMAIN in their correct order. We will also by same remove that mucus and that tendency for discharge in the rectum itself, and in those portions from which the body finds those inflammations arising. We will find also that the digestion will be improved. While the body eats a plenty in the present, yet in the ASSIMILATING of that TAKEN does not ALWAYS follow that those taken feel or agree just well WITH the body. This we find will be improved by this removing of these pressures in the intestinal tract. This will also tend to make a better coordinating activity with the liver itself, PROVIDED there is not TOO much of this used - once a month for two to three months (that is, two to three irrigations), then REST for the period before they are taken again, see? and have THIS done by one who understands, and not just bungles along with it!
10. In the activities, then, as we find, these will bring about a near normal condition for this body. Taken in time, as we will find, will be easily removed, or the response will be more certain, more sure; but allowed to DRAG along,
5609-1 Page 4
we will find there will be re-occurrence of disorder, tendency for the lower limbs and for the feet to give trouble, tendency for the heart's action to become more irregular, tendency for those of the digestive forces to be disordered more and more.
11. As for the diet, these we would keep a WELL balanced diet. Now, as we find, as has been indicated by conditions as for the head itself, there has been a lacking of elements in the blood supply - or we would not have the pigment in the scalp and in the portions of the system not REPRODUCING their cellular forces for the resuscitation of the normalcy for the body! Hence we will find that, will there be times when those of turnips, of carrots, and of Irish potatoes are eaten RAW, there WILL be a STIMULI to this portion of the system, that with the use of those of crude oil - followed by cleansing with that of alcohol one to twenty in water and massaging same with (that is, the scalp we are speaking of, to be sure) the white vaseline - we will grow hair! Ready for questions.
12. (Q) Is Dr. Emil Granet (the son) of 15 East 10th St., N.Y. City, treating me correctly, or would the Forces suggest another doctor in N.Y.? (A) We have given the outline! Now do either one you want!
13. (Q) Is the trouble localized or throughout the intestines? (A) We have given the condition as EXISTS! Localized, to be sure, if we consider that as being the trouble. The TROUBLE - this is the effect - the EFFECTS are being treated, NOT the causes!
14. (Q) Will I become entirely cured, and how long will this take? (A) From three to six months following the suggestions as we have outlined, would be cured.
15. (Q) Would you recommend Psyllium seed? (A) We haven't given it yet! If it's necessary we will give it! We would follow rather with that of a well BALANCED diet, and altering or changing as necessary. We would keep, of course, a tendency toward the NON-ACID; not too much meats, not too much sugar, nor too much of those of confections - but a well BALANCED diet - see?
16. (Q) Are all fruits good for me? (A) These will be found to be very good if well balanced and taken in moderation, not an excess. Apples, beware of too many of these or of bananas, though they may be taken at times in moderation.
17. (Q) Are the arch supporters I wear helping me? If so, shall I continue them? (A) Why not make the corrections and do without the arch
5609-1 Page 5
supporters! They will be alright as long as the condition exists, but they will gradually grow worse unless we make the corrections in the lumbar and sacral region, as has been outlined!
18. (Q) What causes pain in her left leg? (A) Pressure as is seen in the CERVICALS of the SACRAL. Now that sounds like a combination of the wrong thing, but we mean what we say! Here: In these smaller portions of the sacral themselves, which may be classes as a cervical reaction - an axis there. These pressures there make for pains along the locomotaries, for they produce pressures. Make these correction now as we have given. Be CONSISTENT WITH that as has been outlined, see? and we will find we will have a normal condition. Let's treat the CAUSES, and not so much of the effect! We are through for the present.
