TEXT

1. EC: We have the body here. This we have had before.
2. (Q) Has the abnormal condition of the 3rd and 4th cervical been corrected?
   (A) Been corrected in part. This condition, as is held by some [osteopathic] schools of adjustment, would be HERE thoroughly demonstrated. When there is the release of pressure in a nerve center or plexus, some schools hold that IMMEDIATE reaction takes place. Might as well say that when there is stoppage of circulation and release, it immediately takes place. It immediately BEGINS to ADJUST itself, but there is needs be - as in this condition - where the proper releases are made - that there be strengthening to the muscular tissue, that there may be the PROPER response THROUGH that PORTION OF the ganglia so released. See?
3. (Q) Is the ultra violet light treatment being properly administered?
   (A) Correct.
4. (Q) Is the method of applying the castor oil and Epsom packs being carried out correctly?
   (A) These are very good. Conditions make necessary alterations in the application, especially of the Epsom packs - for, here we have found that - where congestion has been had in the activities of the liver, and these reactions act with those of the vegetative nerve system, so that conditions as are being removed through those portions of the upper colon - NECESSARY that these be changed in their position, that the release and activity as is caused by the Epsom packs be changed. So, don't stick it in one spot and say "This we are doing right". Follow the conditions as are given in the activity of the system, that the whole CLEANSING of same may be removed, or brought about.
5. (Q) How long should these packs be continued?
   (A) Until the condition is removed! Conditions will be removed when there is seen that there is normal activity of the system in response to the normal eliminations as set up. These may be discontinued for a time, then it will be found necessary that reaction should take place.
6. (Q) Is all other treatment being properly administered?
   (A) Very good. There will be seen that, were those conditions as exist in breast - were these massaged GENTLY with Iodex, or coco-butter AND Iodex alternated at times - these will assist in relieving this pressure, as will also this continuation of the ultra violet, with the [osteopathic] manipulation in the upper dorsal and cervical to RELEASE those conditions as cause this regurgitation in the cardiac end of stomach.
7. (Q) Are the kidneys functioning normally?
   (A) Normally under the condition. Not NORMAL for the body entirely, for there is the tendency to be overactive AND underactive - depending upon the reaction in system of the kidney, for these are as the negative and positive poles of the system.
8. (Q) May the unguentine dressings be discontinued on the finger?
   (A) May be discontinued, but there should be seen that there is no chance of re-infection.
9. (Q) What is the cause and treatment of the tension in the back of the neck?
   (A) Reflex from those conditions in the lumbar and sacral, as come from that sympathetic condition in the cardiac region. Relaxation of these by the heat, by the stimulation of capillary circulation, will aid and relieve the condition.
10. (Q) What is the cause and treatment of the sore throat?
    (A) Regurgitation. Be well were an antiseptic or wash occasionally used, that these do not re-infect the mucous membranes of the throat, nasal, or of the antrum, or of any of the tissue IN the throat.
11. (Q) Is the breast of a malignant or benign nature?
    (A) Of the nature of malignant, as has been given before - though this may be separated in the system. When there is the sufficient reaction in the system that assimilation may be properly carried on, then we may add to the system those conditions that will RELEASE WITHIN the system that which will aid this in being changed INTO a benign activity. Came from pressure and from the conditions as have been formerly explained to this body.
12. (Q) Would it be advisable for body to go home?
    (A) Not if it wants to get perfectly well! Unless it would continue exactly in the lines as have been carried out - and it wouldn't! Ten more days would mean a great deal more to the body.
13. (Q) Should she go to ..., Okla., with daughter, [558] for better health?
    (A) If she wishes to, but GET in better health FIRST!
14. (Q) Would you advise lamp in house, if a nurse to operate it?
    (A) Possibly will not be necessary when the [osteopathic] corrections are made properly, or if it is used for PREVENTATIVE measures this may be well.
15. (Q) What kind of lamp?
    (A) Sun lamp, or the quartz mercury is the BETTER - but under the supervision of one knowing, and not turned loose freely!
16. (Q) What diet would you advise?
    (A) Alkalin reaction.
17. That is all the questions regarding this body.
18. We are through with THIS reading.
