TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [540]; this we have had before.
2. As we find, there are disturbing conditions of a varied nature from that as we have had heretofore.
3. There has been recently a strain in the handling of the body in a manner where a pressure has been created in the upper dorsal and throughout the cervical area, that makes for a dizziness - through the disturbing in the nerve pulsation as well as for a contraction in the muscles and tissue in neck, face, head.
4. We find that this should disappear with the corrections osteopathically and the general eliminations increased through the use of not a cathartic but rather that which would make for the arousing of the organs of assimilation - as we would find from Syrup of Figs.
5. If this is allowed to remain, we may have some disturbances from the digestive as well as the locomotory system in the upper portion of the body.
6. Do this.
7. Ready for questions.
8. (Q) How often should the osteopathic treatments be given?
   (A) Two should be sufficient. As we find, these would be about a day apart.
   The eliminant should be begun after the first of the treat- ments is taken.
9. (Q) Am I pregnant?
   (A) This will depend upon the changes that are to come about with the first period. If this does not come on at this time, we will find conception will take place.
10. (Q) Please give outline of diet and activity through this period.
    (A) This as we find will be as the matter of the diet, keeping about an eighty percent alkalin with a tendency for foods that carry more of the calcium - and these elements as we find will be, of course, in milk and in those foods as prepared with same; and like the carrot, the potato - the yam - and all of the natures of this kind. Not too much of nuts, but berries may be taken.
    As to the activities, these should be free, easy, yet making for such an activity as would bring about a normalcy for the functioning of the organs; being mindful that all of those conditions about the activities are as much in the open as possible.
11. (Q) Is my blood pressure high?
    (A) Not high under the existent conditions from the conditions in the body as related to those pressures that have brought about these disturbing conditions as indicated.
12. (Q) Any further advice for the body at this time?
    (A) Have at least these two corrections. Use the eliminant of the type and nature as indicated. These may make for changes in the general eliminations of the body. If they do, these are the correct for the body at this time.
13. We are through with this reading.
