TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here; this we have had before.
2. As we find, if the body had followed those suggestions indicated for it, we would not have these disturbing conditions in the present.
3. There are acute conditions arising from the cold, the congestion, which has caused the functioning of the organs to bear upon the nervous system in relation to eliminations through the menses. Or the activities of the pelvic organs as related to the general nervous system cause these distresses.
4. In the present we would use the Salt Packs across the lower portion of the abdomen and across the lumbar and sacral areas. These would make for relaxations.
5. And naturally there may be needed the relaxations through the GENERAL system, as in the use of any MILD sedative.
6. So this would necessitate that there be taken an emit afterwards, or preferably a compound that would work with the general eliminating system.
7. Then, as soon as the periods of elimination have passed, we would begin and make corrections osteopathically in the lumbar and sacral area; specifically in the 4th lumbar, and in the 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th dorsal. We would have two of these a week, until about six or eight have been taken.
8. Then rest from same for a month. And then have these again.
9. We would begin with and take during the whole period the Tonicine, in about half the prescribed or suggested dosage. Keep these properties for the building of the system, and for the coordinating with the manipulative forces.
10. Let the general diet be such as to make for body and blood building; and nourishment to the whole system.
11. These we would do.
12. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) What caused the disturbances in menstruation during the last period?
    (A) Congestion.
14. (Q) Please explain fully the reason for cramps at menstruation.
    (A) Contraction of the uterus. And this is caused by the muscular forces that supply nourishment to the ovarian channels and the Eustachian valve or the Fallopian tubes. Hence those relaxations and the general conditions as indicated that would be the necessary applications for correction.
15. (Q) Is it possible to give me in detail a sure cure for these?
    (A) We have just given it!
16. (Q) Are these cramps a physical suffering brought over from one of my past appearances?
    (A) The conditions have come from that as we have indicated heretofore; that during a period there were those indiscretions which caused the taking of cold, so that a congestion has been produced - or those conditions that have made adherences, see?
17. (Q) What mild sedative would you suggest as best for this body?
    (A) Aspirin or Codeine, or the like.
18. (Q) Would having a child cure these?
    (A) There wouldn't be much chance of having a child in the present condition! For, as indicated heretofore for the body, until there is such a condition in the uterus itself that it may contain and retain inwardly - not outwardly - and be in proper position, it would not maintain.
19. (Q) Why is it the antrum trouble has not gone away?
    (A) Because we have not had those applications in toto that have been given!
20. (Q) Are the tonsils infected?
    (A) Tonsils are involved, but we find these should correct themselves or clear - when the circulatory forces and activities throughout are aided with the proper manipulations.
21. (Q) What causes the shortness of breath?
    (A) The lack of blood supply!
22. (Q) Please describe Sitz bath prescribed in my reading.
    (A) Use a tub and sit down in the water! [GD's note: See description by Harold J. Reilly, Ph.T., used in 3104-1 Reports.]
23. (Q) Why has my health continually failed since marriage?
    (A) The taxation through nervous forces from those activities in the organs of the pelvis. And as indicated, if these will be corrected in the manner given, the general health should be MUCH on the improve rather than deteriorating!
24. (Q) Is there any correction to be made in my relation to my husband [1003]?
    (A) Not as we find, if the proper precautions are taken as indicated for the body in the first preparations for itself for the physical activities of such relationships.
25. (Q) Any other informations or advice that would be of help at this time?
    (A) In the physical forces adhere to those suggestions as indicated:
    The Salt Packs (heavy salt, you see, heated) on the abdomen; lower portion of the abdomen and over the edge of the pubic bones, you see; and on the spine across the lower lumbar and the sacral area. These with the sedatives should soon relieve the body.
    Then in the morning, or late in the evening or night, take an emit; that is, an evacuation through the use of an irrigation. Not necessarily the high colonic, but as warm as the body can stand, see?
    Then take an activity that will make for a MOVEMENT through the alimentary canal; as Castoria, we find; or Syrup of Figs, or Cascara Sagrada, or any that is chosen or proven for the body itself.
    Then, you see, after such periods of elimination, begin with the osteopathic treatments and the Tonicine as indicated.
    The ingredients in the Tonicine should aid the circulation. With the congestion as indicated here, the lack of blood supply, the overtaxed nervous system, naturally there is a slowing of the blood circulation. It has caused a clotting, a congestion, and naturally has made for a curvature in the position of the uterus itself. So, these activities through the Tonicine are first to build up the metabolism and the katabolism through supplying those elements that make for greater activity through the thyroid itself. The thyroid is an active organ with all the secretions for the organs of the pelvis as well as with or through the structural portions of the body; as in the nails, the hair, and such portions of the system that are only a portion of the functioning of the thyroid. The metabolisms are kept better, by that which makes for a better or equalized circulation.
    Then the manipulations and adjustments in the areas that coordinate with such functioning will make for an activity with the organs of the pelvis themselves, and a relaxation and building up of the general conditions of the body. The manipulations with the other activities will bring an equalizing of these though the system; not allowing congestion, and making corrections where there are the impulses from the cerebrospinal system acting directly to the organs themselves.
    Do that. We are through for the present.
