TEXT

LS: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly and tell me the conditions you find at the present time. You will diagnose the case thoroughly, giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for the cure and relief of this body.
EC: Now we find there are conditions abnormal to this body. While we find the body very good in many respects, there are specific conditions causing disturbance in the nerve system that produce disturbance in portions of the body. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body:
IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find very good in many ways, yet there is in the system that preventing equalization in the distribution of plasmatic cellular forces in normal manner. Hence the deflection and the distress caused by the imperfect assimilation produced by this condition in portions of the system.
IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, in this we find the seat or cause of the disturbance, especially do we find this in the cerebrospinal system. In the lumbar region, fourth lumbar plexus, in the dorsal region, in the fifth and sixth dorsal, in the cervical, the first and fourth, in this we find the cause of the disturbance in the body. In the lumbar region, this produced first, and causing the distress to the system, more in times back than at present; for that, some corrections in portions of the body, this has been assisted, yet the deflection has caused, by this subluxation, the lesions in the dorsal and cervical region. Thus in the dorsal, this lesion produced the deflection in the circulation, hence the deflection to the circulation. The subluxation in the cervical causes strain to organs and to the sympathetic system. Hence the sympathetic and the sensory system become involved in the conditions.
IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS, in the brain forces, very good, yet the division in the blood supply and the subluxation in the first and third cervical deflect the reaction in brain forces. In the sensory deflection from cervical region causes distress at times, more in the past than at present, to organs in the sensory system.
In the throat, lungs, and bronchials, we find the lesion in the dorsal region produces a slowing or taxing in the blood supply through lungs, yet no organic conditions to be wary of, rather that to be warned against, and have the correction made that elimination may be through the pulmonary and the sympathetic through the lymphatics against the distress in the system as to cause the capillary circulation to become the seat of the effects of conditions to be treated.
In the heart's action. This we find of a nerve condition rather than of organic origin. Lesions in the dorsal affect directly the hypogastric. These reflex, through cardiac, give an abnormal heart's function, yet no organic condition in that portion.
In that of digestion, we find the system does not assimilate those properties taken, for the nerve reaction easily affects the body by nerve conditions, producing rather a nerve digestion than indigestion. Yet often the hydrochlorics in the duodenum above normal and the pressure caused in the lacteal glands produce here this condition, the depression in the intestinal system.
Liver subnormal in excretion functioning; abnormal in secretive functioning, from nerve stimulation both through sympathetic and through cerebrospinal conditions. Hence the digestive system becomes involved, making a high hepatic circulation, straining kidneys, and with the condition produced in the lumbar region, cause distress from reflex rather than from organic forces.
Then to bring normal conditions to the body, through deep manipulation osteopathically given, correct conditions in the cerebrospinal system, using those vibrations for the digestive system, stimulating the mesenteric glands sufficient to stimulate the secretive system throughout the intestinal tract. Those vibrations are found in the use of electric pads that vibrate the intestinal systems. See? Do this and we will bring normal conditions to this body.
(Q) Is the mind of this body active?
(A) As given, the conditions to vibrate are subjugated through the impressions as deflected in the first cervical and this pressure on the pineal gland causes the deflections.
(Q) What should be done to make the injured thumb of this body normal?
(A) Use vibrations necessary as would be stimulated through the proper circulation to the affected parts. This will bring the near normal for conditions existant in the portion of the body.
(Q) What is the condition of the nose of this body?
(A) That of an increased circulation in the lymphatics, from deflection in circulation from third cervical lesion.
(Q) For muscular development, should the body use the Henderson Method?
(A) Those conditions as outlined for the body, use those and develop the body through the use of exercise for system as the system responds to the corrections made.
(Q) What special exercises are best for developing the shoulders, arms, back, and chest?
(A) Make corrections before you begin the exercise. When those are ready, then exercise.
(Q) Is the body somewhat tongue-tied?
(A) From nervous condition.
(Q) If instructions as given are carried out, and by living a clean life and trust in the Divine Power, will this body reach the supreme strength of athletic perfection that he desires to reach?
(A) Within nine months, yes.
(Q) What will be the body's weight?
(A) 168 lbs.
That is all the questions.
We are through for the present.

REPORTS

12/10/24 Letter from friend Mr. [3190]: "...I received Mr. [77]'s reading and it seems to be alright. We were fortunate in getting hold of the right man to carry out your instructions, and he has already started treatments..."
1/10/25 letter from [77]: "...I surely have improved wonderfully since I had a reading on 12/03/24. I thought I was in good health until I had the reading, at which time I found out I was in bad physical condition, but I am getting along fine..."
