In considering the conditions as we find that exist in the
present, the greater portion now arises from the effects of
an overtaxed nervous system - by adhesions and lesions in the
pelvic organs. And the ASSOCIATE activities of these make
for a great deal of the irritation, the antagonism, the
destructive forces as related to the digestive system, the
quick pulsation, the headaches that are so violent at times,
the bearing down pains in the lower portion of the pelvis,
the limbs aching at times, lack of sufficient blood supply.
All of these are the effects of the conditions. And unless
there is a reduction in the sedative forces that have been
taken, we will have not only a plethora condition that would
require or necessitate an operation for the correction in the
pelvic organs, but also as related to the digestive system.
[See
263-21 Reports
12/12/61 Three-fourths of stomach
removed, etc.] As we find, operative measures are not
necessary in the present - IF these applications such as we
suggest will be applied for the body:
We find that first there should be precautions taken
respecting the general diet of the body; which should
CONSISTENTLY contain principally those foods tending towards
an alkalin-reaction. Not that there would never be eaten any
meats or even the acid-producing fruits or vegetables; but
the GENERAL diet should be more and more alkalin - less
quantity of sugar, more and more blood and nerve building.
Also we find that to reduce or change the conditions it will
be necessary for at least twenty-six treatments through the
good OSTEOPATHIC manipulations and adjustments in not only
the cervical but dorsal and lumbar areas, with the
adjustments in the sacral, lumbar, lower dorsal and
throughout the cervical area. Have the manipulations at
least twice a week until twenty-six, at least, have been
taken.
We would also find it most beneficial, at least once each
week, for the body to use the Atomidine douche; a teaspoonful
to a quart and a half of tepid water. This will remove the
irritations in the vagina and the pubis, and those
irritations about that portion of the system where there will
be the tendency for the adhering tissue, the irritating
tissue, to become near normal WITH the adjustments and
manipulations.
For the stomach and abdomen we would use a support, as the
stomach is still not in a correct position and makes for the
tendency of accumulations of foods that do not digest
properly and ferment without digestion. An elastic would be
much preferable, though the binding or dressing cloth would
be well.
Do these, we find, if we would bring better conditions.
When the severe headaches occur (for these periods will
continue until sufficient of the corrections are made),
rubbing the feet and knees - or from the knees down - in hot
mustard water will be MUCH preferable to taking the
sedatives. If a sedative is to be taken, a milder form would
be MUCH preferable - such as may be had in the Painodyne or
such natures; these carry less of habit-forming properties
and are less violent upon the heart's activity through the
gastric flows or the cardiac plexus in the system, and less
upon the activities of the liver and spleen. One of these
should be sufficient, but take them as SELDOM as possible.
It is necessary that such be administered under the
supervision of a physician.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Do I need glasses?
(A) They will be helpful; as will also the use of the
Atomidine for the gums and a wash for the mouth - used in
half-strength for the mouth, to relieve those conditions that
arise from the nervous forces of the body as well as the
acidity in the system. Gargle the throat and rinse mouth
with same at least twice each day, preferably after brushing
the teeth and using the Ipsab for the gums.
(Q) Is this condition pyorrhea or trench mouth?
(A) More like Riggs' [Rigg's Disease] than either, but it is
a combination - we might say. This arises, though, from the
general condition in the system. The corrections, with the
local attention as indicated, will relieve this.
Do these, or you'll be sorry you didn't!
We are through with this reading.
