First we had an abnormal condition in the metabolism of the
body. This produced by the hindrances as existed in the
cerebro-spinal system, until deficiencies in glands were
seen, as existed - do exist - and existed more in other
periods - in the thyroids, in the adrenals, in the supply
of blood forces THROUGH the glands in assimilation. These
deficiencies BEGAN by the inactivity in IMPULSE from blood
supply received from the conditions in the cerebro-spinal
system. The results or effects as have been produced -
a state of nerve depletion through the whole of the system,
as seen in sensory system - eyes, ears, nose - especially
in the soft tissue, and a RESULTANT effect as came in throat
and glands of same - a resultant effect from a catarrhal
condition existent from same, producing an intestinal
disorder of a highly acid state. THIS affects directly,
then, those centers from which blood supply is obtained in
bone or structural portions of body, which hinders in the
sinew, the bone, and in the soft bone or marrow itself, in
places. Also the effects as are created in the general
system. Then, these conditions are, as we find, more a
RESULT - and NOT the cause. The cause being from conditions
in PELVIS region, in the lumbar center especially, where
a circulatory lesion produced there causes those effects or
depressions of a highly nervous disorder, with pressures
also existent in the upper dorsal region; this of a lateral
nature, causes those conditions oft which, WITH the
UNBALANCING of body, brought about the disorders as
exhibited.
In meeting the needs of the conditions, as to bring about
proper corrections for the body in a normal manner - to treat
or to medicate one PORTION of the EFFECT produced, is only
to alter the conditions without any PERMANENT relief, and
is to CHANGE the condition from one portion of the body to
another; for the blood supply being abnormal, there must be
considered first the source of rejuvenation. To supply foods
or properties in the body for assimilation, and there being
a specific condition of infection, is to either localize and
produce a plethora condition or an activity as to cause
conditions later on that would be of a nature that would
be globular in reaction, or to produce organic disorders by
overstimuli, as to make an organic disturbance later that
would be more harmful.
Then, we must begin with the basis or the cause of the
condition - and add that to the system for the AIDING the
conditions in the body - rather than those as would be
contrarywise, or as would produce counter-irritations.
These, then, would be the manner in which we will find we
may bring - WITH consistency and PERSISTENCY - a nearer
normal condition for the body, but to begin and only take
a portion, or to begin and take part of that given, then
discontinue, will not be helpful in ANY sense to the body
- for the last estate must be worse than the first, if we
are to LOCALIZE conditions or if we bring about such an
effect as to make some of the conditions become acute in
body.
Then, we will find, we would set up DRAINAGES in the system
by the use of properties taken - both as to diet and as to
stimulate more eliminations through alimentary canal, that
stimulates all of the organs of excretory system, not
overtaxing kidneys nor liver, but using those of an alkalin
nature as to change the assimilated forces, so that - with
the added conditions for the body - we will ELIMINATE that
ABOVE normal, so as to take poisons OUT of the system; then
aiding the system by the application of the Infra Red AND
ultra-violet, both - one as a destructive force to those
superficial forces in the circulation, the other as a
stimuli in the bone or structural portions of the body,
as to be nerve, blood BUILDING for the body, as RESISTANCES
may be builded up, producing the proper coordination of the
conditions assimilated, of the conditions as are made for
the eliminations, through the manipulations and osteopathic
adjustments for the body, as will bring about the better
coordinations. Ready for questions.
(Q) What should be done for fallen stomach, gas, and nervous
indigestion?
(A) Just as we have outlined; that is, that there is proper
consideration given to the body as in reference to producing
an alkalin state in the system. This would be done by the
using of those oils - as much as will be assimilated by the
body - the olive oil, of the very BEST. Be sure that it
does not become rancid in the system. We would take at least
a small sip - half a teaspoonful - every two hours, for at
least TWO MONTHS - every two hours that the body is awake
take it! or until it's assimilated all that it may. Each
day - a tablespoonful of Milk Of Bismuth one day - Milk of
Magnesia the next day - and then an antiseptic for the
intestines, in that of the Glyco-Thymoline, at least five
drops in water, on the third day - see? with the olive oil
being kept properly through the system.
The manipulative forces, AS they are made, will be made for
the stomach proper to be HELD in position. The manipulations
will also RELAX the body along the cerebro-spinal system, as
to overcome this nervous depletion - as will be NECESSARY for
corrections in the lumbar region, and for the pelvic organs
themselves.
(Q) Is there infection where impacted tooth was removed?
(A) When the circulatory forces in body are RELIEVED, these
will NOT be as of infection. Any condition with as much
congestion existent in a body, as in throat, as in pelvis,
as in stomach - all are seats of infection, and throw poisons
in the body, at times. Hence the condition as has been
outlined, that we take first those as to set up DRAINAGES in
system, through the properties as taken in medicinal forces,
also as to those manipulative measures, and the usages of the
ultra-violet - which would be given at least twice each week
for that of the respiratory system, and for the effect as it
will create in the nerves themselves proper. The Infra Red
would be taken at least twice each week, but NOT on the same
days that the others are taken, see? The manipulation should
be given twice each week, and only ONE of those of a
CORRECTIVE nature - and be sure that the lumbar and the upper
dorsal are relaxed with wet heat BEFORE such corrections are
made. Only make these a small portion at a time.
(Q) Why constipation? What remedy?
(A) We have just given it! Just do that! We have covered
that!
(Q) Should bridge be changed?
(A) First let's correct the CONDITIONS in the system, as
outlined! Either do as we have given or suffer the
consequences! We are through for the present.
