You see, we have first from the head, pains along through the
body here from the 2nd dorsal and the 5th and 6th dorsal, and
from the 1st and 2nd lumbar. That is, we have tie-ups here,
or floating lesions, or lateral lesions, in the muscular and
nerve force which supply to those of the lower end of the
lung and the diaphragm, in conjunction with the sympathetic
nerve of the solar plexus here, coming in conjunction with
the solar plexus at the end of the stomach. We have had, as
we had before in the system, a tie-up through that of the
digestive tract, or a state of impact through the larger, or
through the colon here, most all the time. The fecal matter
lying together there in the body, producing then the
irritation as we have through the whole digestive system,
leaving the body in a state of collapse, or run down state,
as we have at present, and has allowed this congestion to
form in the lung from the air breathed in and bacilli, to set
up this condition as we have in the left lung in itself,
until we have a congestion of the lung, or that is, of the
blood circulating into this lung, becomes choked, or clogged,
leaving the air to pass through that of the right and upper
part of the left, leaving itself, as it were here, until we
have a choked condition.
Now, it has been somewhat relieved here by the application of
these forces to the exterior, also to the forces of the blood
here from the circulation in itself, but the condition of the
lung, of choking, that has been left in the system by the
fecal matter of the intestine, through the circulation of the
hepatics produced the temperature we have in the body, as it
were, we have a chilling or congestion of the circulation
which produces the temperature from the condition in the
lung. That is, the air, not coming in perfect contact with
the circulation, or the lack or re-oxidization of the blood,
produced the condition as we have. Still, we have some of
the bacilli here in the lung set up in these forces.
(Q) No organic trouble in the lung, is there?
(A) The organ itself, of course, is involved here. The lung
from its infection of the forces.
(Q) Any other conditions of the system?
(A) We have the reflex conditions from these, of course,
through the whole body. The action of its force on the whole
system to the other organs through the circulation, through
the mind or matter, in itself.
(Q) Are the tissues, or the cells of the lung broken?
(A) No; only choked here at present, you see. They are
solid.
(Q) What treatment would you prescribe to relieve these
conditions and bring the body back to normal condition?
(A) We have here the condition in the body. You see, we can
have one or we can have many ways to relieve the condition,
but to alleviate the trouble we have, to destroy the bacilli
itself, and that is only through the air itself, or
discharge it as it is sloughed off and thrown out through
absorption or through the circulation.
We can relieve the condition either as what we have here
applied before to the exterior and interior, both or
regeneration of the blood, or re-enforcing the blood, as we
have said, with the forces that rebuild tissue, lung cell
forces, or we can rejuvenate by the action of the
manipulation of the nerve centers or muscular forces along
the spine that supply to the blood forces to relieve the
taxed condition of the muscular and blood forces, until we
allow a unison of the circulation to those, or from
stimulants to the circulation by the relaxation of these
forces along the spine from the 9th to the upper cervical,
1st and 2nd. That only relieves the condition at present.
To remove at present it would be best to have plenty of open
air at all times; bathe with water, or salt, or sea water;
high altitude - rarefied air - and plenty of exercise, and
give the roughest of foods, not too much of it; fats, and
that which builds blood; that of iron, carbon in the system.
(Q) That manipulation along the spine, should be osteopathic
treatment?
(A) That is to relieve the muscular forces, so that we can
produce a condition by the action of the air itself, outside:
that is, we need the body to be outside, in the open air;
free from cares or worries to the mind [Her second baby son
had died about 3 months ago. Born
3/28/11, died
5/17/11. A
brother, Mr. [
5705], had died of T.B.
4/13/10.]; exercise of
the arms, especially, over the head, to expand the lung
force. Keep away the pressure of the forces here from below,
around the intestinal tract, by manipulation, keeping the
whole body full and flushed at all times. The salt is to
strengthen the forces here. It gives strength to the body
and does not keep the blood forces choked. We remove these
forces only through the circulation and by absorption. As
the lymph from the white blood is thrown around the bacilli
they are drawn off and expelled. If we allow the body to
remain and chase these back and forth through the forces they
break, and then become the eating of the tissue of itself.
(Q) Any other treatment you would prescribe now?
(A) Either of these, but the air will have to do it.
(Q) What diet should she take?
(A) Depends on the treatment she takes. If we have the open
air we want the roughest kinds; fats and carbon. If it is
the same life as we have here - indoor - we have those of the
gluten character, and stimulants, with that of medicinal
properties as we are using here, with that of stimulants
sedative to the forces in the lung cells. But to destroy
that, either get out in the air with the roughest, of course,
and sea water, and exercise the arms above the head here.
