IN THE NERVE SYSTEM - These, as we find, again are a result
of the distresses as have been produced in times back, when
there was a sudden jar, cold, congestion following same,
which produced in the functioning of the organs of the pelvis
this disturbance in such a manner as to produce prolapsus -
in a form - of the organs themselves, and the pressure as is
produced in the system causes the disturbance to the nerve
system, in the reflexes to the various portions of the
system. This also responsible, as we find, for the
disturbance as comes, even to those of the circulation
through the upper portion of the body - where the GLANDS, and
the system through the throat and bronchia, show distress or
disorder. These are rather sympathetic, and are effects -
not causes - of the disorders, and were those conditions in
pelvis and the general system made to coordinate WITH the
changes as would come about by the correction of these
conditions, the body would be in a nearer normal activity.
While the distresses are of the nature as to produce scar
tissue in the form, especially, of tendons being in that
position as to PULL the organs and their tributaries, or the
portions adjacent in same - the blood supply, the nerve
system, is not in a position for operative measures in the
present; nor would the body respond, or were the whole
system - as it were - tended forward, or upward, so that the
positions could be gradually changed, these MIGHT not be
necessary; though they MAY be necessary, even WITH the
changes as brought about in the system.
We would, though, first PREPARE the body, and IN the change -
will the responses BE such, the necessitating of an
operation would then be QUESTIONABLE, as to whether it
would be necessary or not.
In the treatments, we would THOROUGHLY relax those of the
lumbar, sacral, coccyx region, and keep well bound, that the
conditions may respond to the manipulative measures as would
be made in making the corrections and the contractions
through the whole of the system; keeping all well balanced,
relaxing the system before adjustments - with heat.
Colonic irrigations will be well for the body, about once
each week - as these corrections are made - that the poisons
and the drainages as are set up through the eliminating
channels may be cooperative in the effects created in the
system.
We would not be on feet too much during the periods of
relaxation.
Following the treatments, the body SHOULD - until normalcy
in temperature of the body is kept - be in a position where
the hips and feet are higher than head, and when active
there should be bandages.
We would also use those of the ultra-violet ray over those
centers in the cerebro-spinal centers in and above the
brachial plexus, that the responses in the system to the
heart's action, to the digestive system, to the position of
the stomach itself - as will be changed with the manipulative
forces - may receive, through the EXTERNAL application of
heat to same. These, in this particular condition, will be
better even than the sun's rays. While sun is efficient,
this is centralized more in these plexus.
As in the matter of the diet, these must be of the nerve and
blood building, as we may keep a better ratio between the
white and red blood cells; for the tendency of an increase
occasion in the white blood NUMBERS shows the manner in
which the system itself attempts to meet those strains as
have and do exist in the body. We would follow these rather
closely; that is, as the treatments, or manipulations and
adjustments and the applications are made, we would check
rather closely on these, as to positions. Ready for
questions.
(Q) How much outdoor walking should she take?
(A) When treatments are begun in earnest, where the
applications are made as for change, not TOO much; not too
long on feet at any time, or else we will undo what we are
attempting TO do.
(Q) How often osteopathic treatments?
(A) In the beginning, when the real adjustments are made in
the system - and the POSITION of pelvic organs and the
changes IN the system are being made - osteopathic treatments
should be at least every other day, and every other treatment
AN adjustment. Be sure the HEAT is applied - wet heat - to
the body before adjustments; also that the body RESTS in
position when and after the treatments are given, for at
least two hours. Then be bound or bandaged before the body
is on feet.
(Q) What treatment for itching of vulva?
(A) This may be of a local treatment, or local nature.
This, however, is rather from the pressure than from an
EXTERNAL force that may be applied. May be best internal,
see?
(Q) How often and how long ultra-violet treatments?
(A) These should be at least days BETWEEN the osteopathic
treatments, and from three to five minutes. MOSTLY near that
of the brachial plexus, for the change in the heart's action
and for the stimuli as comes from this region.
(Q) Should she take sun baths and swim?
(A) These may be taken occasionally, but not too much
stretching of the body; unless in the proper direction -
unless she wants an operation! We are through for the
present.
