EC: Yes, we have the body here, [
549], Millinery Department,
..., now waiting on a lady in front of a glass with knot on
posts - two sit together, you see - on the back one. Yes,
quite an interesting lady, though, she is waiting on; she
needs a reading, too! to take this knot off of her!
As we find with this body, [
549], there are those conditions
that disturb the better physical functioning of the body.
These, as we find, affect the digestive system as well as the
general circulation, and are of the natures that affect the
tissue in portions of the body; especially in the lower
pelvic organs, making reflex conditions through the nerve
systems. And unless there are measures of some nature taken
for corrections, there will eventually be builded such
conditions in the system as to form lesions or adhesions in
various portions that will become detrimental for the
physical body of [
549].
These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this
body we are speaking of, [
549], ... Millinery Department,
..., Tennessee:
At present there are those effects of quite a bad taste in
the mouth. This is from belching and gas, produced by those
things as we will see in the trunk or torso portion of the
body, especially in the right side - in the ascending and
transverse colon area.
First, in the BLOOD SUPPLY, we find that the pulsation and
the number of red and white blood corpuscles vary; yet there
is a tendency for a form of anemia. Not that there is an
excess in this direction save at times, but the assimilations
are of such natures that these portions of the system become
impoverished at times; causing a metabolism that is not
always good; low in the blood pressure. As to the elements
of the blood supply, we find there are indications of
adhesions in the torso portion or - more specifically - in
the left portion of the ovaries there. And this produces
inflammation in such a manner that gradually there has been
produced a plethora in the portion of colon indicated. And
this causes that tendency for foods to ferment easily in the
duodenum, and for the liver to become torpid in its activity;
causing the bile ducts to become rather sedimentary in the
effluvia thrown off in the secretions. This makes for the
backing up into the stomach proper a fullness; a feeling of
distention, gaseous formations and the like. These
naturally, affecting the system in such a manner, produce the
conditions that have been indicated in the blood supply.
In the NERVOUS SYSTEM we find there are specific centers that
have in the main been involved, and involve the condition
that has become apparent. Hence we may say that most of
these conditions being described, though of a specific
nature, are effects and not causes; though causes of
distress, to be sure, arise from these conditions.
In the 11th and 12th dorsal area we find subluxations, and
these have gradually lessened the impulse for activity during
the periods of eliminations through the menses; causing the
coldness that exists in the activity of the eliminations
through the Eustachian [Fallopian?] and through the tubes in
the pelvic organs, especially in the left ovary and the left
tube. This has gradually made a drying condition, until
there were the periods of inflammation. These running along
the internal nerves that affect or make pressures to the
portions of the lymph and emunctory circulation through the
internal organs, or the flow of the water blood - as it were,
or the emunctory and the lymph, produces a lack of
eliminations. And taking up the effect of the muscular
forces to the intestines, causes slow or poor peristaltic
movement; giving or gradually building these effects, changed
according to the manner of diet and the character or kind of
eliminant taken to produce the activities through the
alimentary canal.
Hence we have in the 11th and 12th dorsal area a subluxation
of a nature which is to the right, provided it is viewed from
the back, and hence in making the correction the pressure
should be made on the left portion of the spine in the area.
With such adjustments and treatments there should be a
GENERAL massage along the spine, and - to be sure - making
the corrections in the hypogastric and pneumogastric cross
plexus in the 3rd, 4th and 2nd cervical area; these would be
secondary, though the application would be as necessary there
as in making the corrections.
We also find that the ORGANS of the system, as indicated,
make for the tendencies for a character of headaches, that at
times makes for a pulsation not only in the head itself but
to the extremities and lower limbs - and even the hands and
through the shoulders suffer from the repressions produced by
the thinned or poor circulation and the character of the
metabolism in the system.
In meeting the needs of the conditions of this body then,
[
549] we are speaking of, we would find that it would be well
first to begin with the osteopathic rather than chiropractic
treatments; for just to make adjustments alone will not make
the proper coordination through the rest of the system,
though they may aid. As we find, however, it would require
not more than six to ten or thirteen such treatments and
adjustments, osteopathically given, if made properly. In the
first portion these would be taken twice each week; while in
the latter portion it would be well that they be made only
once each week.
But be mindful of the diet and the general activities of the
body. This would be an outline, though not this ONLY would
be taken:
Beware of too much white bread, or of eating too fast at any
time; and of taking too many carbonated drinks or waters at
any time!
It would be well for the body to begin and take one or two
courses of Crazy Crystal water, for the proper adjustments
for eliminations - but because the body feels better - from
the eliminations being set up, and from the activities of the
organs that we have indicated are under distress - DO NOT
leave off all the treatments and adjustments in the
osteopathic manipulations!
Mornings - citrus fruit juices or dry cereals with milk, but
do not eat the cereals and the citrus fruit juices at the
same meals; else we will find we change the activity of
citrus fruit juices with the gastric juices of the stomach,
by combining those that are acid and those that are alkalin
reacting but of an acid nature. Crisp bacon, brown toast of
whole wheat, Graham crackers, coddled egg, stewed fruit,
fresh fruit; all of these are well, but not all at one meal,
to be sure.
Noons - preferably a green and fresh green vegetable salad;
as tomatoes, celery, lettuce, peppers, radishes, carrots, and
the like. These should be grated together or chopped very
fine. An oil salad dressing may be used.
Evenings - a general vegetable diet, well balanced with three
vegetables above the ground to one grown below. Well-cooked
and well-seasoned vegetables. And the meats should only
include lamb, fowl or fish. Do not take shell fish, but the
fresh water fish would be preferable to the salt fish, see?
Mackerel, and the like, don't take; but the fresh water fish
will be much better for the body. Some little condiments may
be taken at this meal, if so desired. Be mindful that not
too much sweets are taken, but sufficient that there may be
created a balance with the green vegetables for a sufficient
fermentation in the proper proportion and nature. Hence
tarts or fruit pies, or rolls, or the like; but not just cake
alone, for this is not so well. Coffee and tea in
moderation.
We find that it would be well also for the body to take at
times small quantities of Cod Liver Oil, and the Russian
White Oil at times. These should preferably be taken of
evenings, just before retiring. Not large quantities, but
small quantities taken should create the vitamins necessary
to produce in the alimentary canal activities, in the organs
of digestion and throughout the whole system, the proper
relations of the bacilli as necessary for carrying on the
activity of eliminations and actions throughout the whole of
the alimentary canal.
Occasionally it would be well for the body to use the high
enemas to relieve those pressures, especially of evening when
the body is tired from standing on feet and having a dull
headache. A high enema will relieve such conditions,
especially if there has not been at least two evacuations
from the alimentary canal during that day.
Do these, and we will find we will bring for the physical
body much greater abilities for the mental and the physical
to react to that about self.
Keep the mental in the attitude of constructive forces. See
in every individual the body contacts that which is hopeful,
helpful. See GOOD in every one! Do not look for others'
faults, but rather for their virtues; and the virtues in self
will become much more magnified. For that we think upon,
that we become. In our mental world we create that which is
manifested in our spiritual as well as our material
conditions.
Keep rather, then, in this attitude: MAY I GIVE PRAISE
ALWAYS TO HIM WHO, THROUGH THE GIFT OF THE CHRIST INTO THE
EARTH, MAKES THE AWARENESS OF HIS PRESENCE ABIDING WITH ME.
LET ME SEE IN MY FELLOW MAN THAT I WOULD HAVE MY FELLOW MAN
SEE IN ME. LET ME GIVE PRAISE AND GLORY WHERE IT IS DUE IN
MY FELLOW MAN AND TO MY MAKER. LET THE WORDS OF MY MOUTH AND
THE MEDITATION OF MY HEART BE ACCEPTABLE IN THY SIGHT, MY
LORD AND MY REDEEMER.
Ready for questions.
(Q) What causes dark spots in arm pits and how may they be
removed?
(A) The poor circulation, with the character of the diets
that have been taken. Keep those things as outlined for
creating a better blood supply, a better elimination and
coordination for the whole system, and we will find these
spots will disappear.
(Q) Is there any change I can make that would prove
advantageous to my mental welfare?
(A) Think differently; rather along the lines that have been
outlined. Don't feel sorry for self. Feel sorry for others
that don't know self, and then live that way!
We are through.
