EC: Yes, we have the body here, [
18] - this we have had
before. We find some changes in the general physical forces
of the body since last we had same here; some, we find, are
not so good; others, we find, that showed distresses, as
being nearer normal. In the eliminations and the
assimilations of the system, there are such incoordinating
forces as to produce distresses in the hepatic circulation,
so as to bring an impoverishment to the blood supply, also
leaving drosses in the system in toxic forces as come from
those conditions in the colon, and especially in the
descending colon, where there are some distresses that give
the effects as seen in the system, causing an irritation
there. Also in the lower hepatic circulation, the attempt
of the kidneys to function when there should be more
activity with the liver, as causes the taxation and the
digestion in the system. This makes for the low pulsation,
making for an excess in the white to the numbers of the red
blood supply.
In meeting the needs of the conditions in the present -
and there should be those precautions taken, that this does
not become too accentuated in the system, for distresses
of an aggravating nature might easily arise from the
existent forces:
We would increase the activity of the liver in its
functioning, so as to bring about a better assimilation.
We would increase this activity through that of
counterirritation externally, using those of the castor oil
packs for same, and these should be kept up until there is a
full activity from same; RELIEVING the pressure in the kidney
and bladder area through the usage of packs of Epsom Salts.
It would also be found that the irrigation of the colon
would be beneficial, so that not too much irritation may
be left there.
When these conditions have been relieved, then we would,
OSTEOPATHICALLY, EMPTY the gall bladder, so that the system
in its excretory functioning may give off properly for the
assimilations of foods.
We would also find that the care of the diet during this
period must of necessity be in keeping with that as is to
be accomplished; that is, no food values that are not easily
assimilated should be taken, but as much of those as are
intestinal and of the gastric forces foods as possible.
Much of this will be found in those characters of water;
also of the oils as may be given. We would, then, have an
altering of the yellow saffron water with the camomile and
also those of the olive oil as intestinal and as gastral
[of or pertaining to the stomach or digestive tract.]
antiseptics and foods for the system. Then the FOOD values
would be most of that as is pre-digested, until at least
there is the full awakening of the functioning of the liver
in its activity.
The body should rest most of the time during this activity,
for nausea and headaches and nervousness must ensue if there
is taxation to the feet, or the pressure to the kidneys
and bladder, and especially to the lower portion of the body
in its eliminations. Ready for questions.
(Q) Are the female organs affected in any way?
(A) Only reflexly, from the inflammation and pressure
as created in the lower portion of the colon itself, and
through those of the REGIONS of same.
(Q) Is this condition what is causing the pain in the left
side?
(A) In the descending colon, as given.
(Q) Any special exercise?
(A) The most of the exercise, until there is at least the
eliminations set up through the hepatic circulation, should
be of the manipulations to make for proper distribution of
the forces. See, two to three days would be required for
such an activity to be set up.
(Q) What kind of food should she eat?
(A) During this PERIOD, should be MOSTLY pre-digested foods.
Afterward these may be, and SHOULD be, of a high blood and
nerve building food; carrying as much protein as may be
digested or assimilated by the system - but there must be
the preparations, so that this MAY be assimilated - see?
(Q) How long at a time should the oil and salts packs be
applied?
(A) As given, these should be applied until there is full
activity from the hepatic circulation, or liver.
(Q) Any further suggestions regarding this body?
(A) Do this, for - as we have given - there may be much
trouble arise unless these are aroused to their normal
activity, both as to the pressure in the pelvic organs and
to the digestive system itself, for the blood is being
UNDERMINED, as it were, as are the organs of digestion AND
assimilation being crossed in their functioning. We are
through for the present.
