TEXT

  1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body.
  2. EC: Yes, we have the body here.
  3. Now, we find there are conditions causing disturbance in the physical functioning of the body, and these may be corrected to that point or condition where there will be the more near normal reaction in the physical forces of the body.
  4. These conditions, as we find, are rather of the complicated nature; or there are many conditions that lend themselves to the disturbances as are existent. Chief of these have to do with the improper incentive received in certain nerve plexus, produced by subluxations existent in the cerebrospinal system. These conditions are the first cause. The activity of cold and congestion, with the improper incentive to nerve centers and plexus, have produced other conditions that are at times equally or more disturbing. These have been doctored, or there have been given properties to correct THESE conditions without considering that - with the correction of one condition - there was improper coordination in others, that have only changed the activity of the trouble or the condition in the system. Hence we find a digestion that is bad. This is more from properties that have been taken IN system than from the condition.
  5. Also we find the disturbance with the blood supply of the body. These conditions, while more aggravating in their activity, are reflex conditions, and were all the conditions considered as a whole - and the proper corrections made, and consideration given the disturbance to the digestion and to the blood supply - we would find better reaction in the system. The character or nature of the condition as is created in the blood supply is to cause an over-acidity, and this produces these conditions as exist in various portions of the body; as WELL as the hindrance to the normal functioning of the nerves and blood supply with the sensory system.
  6. The digestion and its reflex is rather that of - with the over-acidity, with the improper eliminations the reflexes in the muscular and nerve tissue and sinew of the body. Hence these conditions have been termed or given many names. The body improves at times - there are days when it is a great deal better. The incentive of the whole system being improper, the body is often considered very indiscreet as to the activities and to the movements of the body for the better conditions; yet this very activity is that which often keeps the body going.
  7. Then, to meet the needs of the conditions at the present time, there will be found that it will be necessary to CHANGE the condition as conditions change in the system toward correction, and we will continue for a period to have good periods and bad; quick responses at times, and again seemingly worse. These are, as seen, conditions that must arise from the very nature and from the length of time these conditions have existed in the body, and have gradually builded same in same.
  8. First we would begin with deep manipulations, osteopathically given, to correct those subluxations as exist in the 7th, 8th and 9th dorsals, and in the lower lumbar, as WELL as that in the upper cervical. The principal subluxations existent are in the 7th, 8th and 9th dorsal. The others are rather of the sympathetic nature.
  9. We would use also those vibrations for the blood supply and nerve system that are found in the Radium Active Appliance. Use the Double X Pad.
  10. For the diet - this must be looked after very carefully, as also must the eliminations as are set up in the system. Prepare medicinal properties as this:
  11. To six (6) ounces of ragweed, or ambrosia weed, add sixteen (16) ounces of distilled water. Reduce by simmering (not boiling) to one-half (1/2) the quantity. Strain and then add two (2) ounces beet sugar dissolved in two (2) ounces hot water. Cut three (3) drams Balsam of Tolu in three (3) ounces grain alcohol (85%) and add to THIS, before adding to the rest of the solution:

      Sassafras Oi1........................20 minims,
      Iodide Potassium 10% solution........30 minims,
      Bromide Potassium 10% solution.......10 minins.

    (These quantities appear small for conditions, yet their reaction with the other conditions in system are sufficient.) This then added to the solution. The dose of this would be half (1/2) teaspoonful three (3) times each day, at least an hour before each meal. Eat the meals, but be very careful that little or no meat - no FLESH, anyway - passes into the system, until the system is cleansed properly. Broths, or the JUICES of meat, may be taken. As much green vegetables as the body is able to assimilate, especially of carrots, beets, lentils, onions, celery, parsley; such as these. Tomatoes may be taken in MODERATION, provided not too highly seasoned.
  12. At least once each third day cleanse the system with an enema.
  13. Do that.
  14. In thirty days we would give further instructions.
  15. Take the manipulations and adjustments every other day during that period, and the ADJUSTMENTS should only be made every second treatment - see?
  16. We are through for the present.
