Now, as we find, there are some changes in the general
physical conditions of the body; not all are towards
betterment, but there has NOT been as yet - as we find - any
considerable localization of the disturbing factors. While
the congestions in the pulmonaries give distress, the
changing for the stimulations to the heart's activity and the
attempts of the body-physical, through the applications that
are being made to increase the drainages even through the
kidneys that are themselves disturbed, makes for the hopeful
conditions. True, the temperature that is indicated is
draining upon the system. But if the body is kept quiet, and
if there are continued in the main the applications to keep
the poisons eliminated and to keep the congestions from
localizing in such manners as to disturb the clarification
of the smaller quantity of the blood supply, the conditions
still remain more and more hopeful.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Is it a stenosis of the valves or a leakage that causes
the cyanosis?
(A) Rather is it the sedimentary conditions that arise from
the dissipations of poisons in the organs attempting to be
eliminated through these channels.
(Q) Is a depressant indicated in the respiratory system to
counteract the effect of the cardiac stimulants?
(A) As indicated, preferably the necessity of a stimulant in
a manner but not a depressant that would cause sedimentary
conditions; for with such taxations these would become too
easily localized.
(Q) Please explain just how the ultra-violet ray lamp should
be used, and how often; and is the lamp now being used the
right one?
(A) This is the right character; and should be used at least
once each day in the present conditions, for this stimulates
the circulations by the relaxing of congested portions even
in the deeper portions of the body; over the congested area
of the lung (the left lung) in front and over the lower
lumbar in the back for a lesser period - or a minute to a
minute and a half or two minutes over the upper area, and a
minute over the lower area.
(Q) Would you advise a blood transfusion?
(A) Not in the immediate; for the blood is of such a nature
itself that there would be caused too great a heart stimulant
and be too easy to produce heart block.
(Q) Would it be advisable to move the body to a hospital?
(A) Would not be advisable in the present. Rather would it
be advisable to keep very close tab on the eliminations, as
from the disturbances in the kidneys and bladder - and upon
the BLOOD supply.
(Q) Should the medicine prescribed for the heart and bladder
by the doctors be continued?
(A) As those administering same see the effects and the
reactions. For the BODY is STILL, as indicated, responding;
and while resistances are low, there are STILL being builded
resistances by the assimilation that are effective.
(Q) Should the Syrup of Squill be continued?
(A) This may be discontinued.
(Q) Should the inhalant be continued?
(A) This is most effective as an antiseptic for all the
passages of the throat, the bronchia, the trachea; and should
be continued.
(Q) Should the Castor Oil packs be continued, and how often?
(A) The Castor Oil packs make for the disintegration and
prevents tissue becoming too greatly involved such as to make
for adhesions. Hence these should be continued once a day,
or at least every other day; for they are helpful.
(Q) Should the Ash and violet ray be continued?
(A) The Ash should be most certainly continued. Its
activity is as stimulating the oxygen that is released by the
use of same with the violet ray; and combats, making for
effective forces for the body.
(Q) Should the Al-Caroid be continued?
(A) Continue as it is necessary to make for the perfect, or
more perfect assimilation that is of an alkalin reaction.
(Q) Should the rub and salt packs be continued?
(A) The rub will tend to make for the alleviation as the
body is quiet or being still; while the packs as the body IS
still will not be as effective but rather irritating. So
discontinue the packs, but continue the rubs.
(Q) Are there any other suggestions for relieving the
condition of the heart?
(A) Necessity demands that there be a relaxation through the
pulmonary activity that the heart's action may be relieved
somewhat. As we find, the stimulations with the relaxations
by the deep therapy should be the more effective.
(Q) How long before the body should be able to respond and
an improvement be seen?
(A) It must respond in the next forty-eight hours.
(Q) Should the osteopathic treatments be continued?
(A) These would be HELPFUL; but if the massage is done
heavily in this area, the osteopathic manipulations would not
be necessary in the immediate - though, as conditions
improve, these would be the most helpful in stimulating the
distributory centers.
(Q) Would you outline a specific diet for the body for the
next forty-eight hours?
(A) That which is stimulating, easily assimilated, and most
strengthening. Of course, as long as the beef juices are
absorbed in small quantities they will maintain strength.
Give just sips often, to maintain strength.
(Q) Any other suggestions for the body at this time?
(A) Keep hopeful. Keep those things about the body that
make for the more cheerful reactions. For fear (or doubt) or
disturbances to the mind, as it is sensitive in its activity,
make for the greater hardships.
