TEXT

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here; [797].
3. As we find, there are disturbances and these are the results of incoordination in the eliminations as related to the functioning of the liver and its relationship to the organs of the central blood and nerve supply.
4. It is through this incoordination created in these organs of the central system that the involvement of other reflexes occurs as from kidneys, heart, lungs; though with the correction of these disturbances in the liver functioning, as related to the excretory functioning, the body will gradually adjust itself when coordinations are produced with the other organs of the body - which will be through adjustments that coordinate these in their various centers where they react with the sympathetic nervous system.
5. In bringing about applications to the direct sources or causes of these, we would apply over the liver area hot Castor Oil Packs about an hour each day for five days in succession.
6. Then take internally a half a teaspoonful of Olive Oil.
7. When this has cleansed the system, have a high colonic irrigation to clarify and purify the colon area.
8. Then apply (not before) the sinusoidal electrical treatment - not strong. This would be applied to the secondary cardiac plexus along the spine and over the liver and gall duct area, about a minute or a minute and a half. This should not be given until about five days after the first treatments for the conditions in the gall duct and liver area.
9. Then begin (not before) with the osteopathic adjustments and coordinate those areas in the lumbar center, 9th dorsal, the upper dorsals and throughout the cervical areas. Take at least ten of such adjustments.
10. Doing these we should correct these conditions and the body be able to carry on in a normal way, with normal reactions in its activities.
11. Ready for questions.
12. (Q) Would my condition be benefited by removing tonsils?
    (A) Not necessarily. These, of course, are sources of disturbance and of poisons in the body, but these are necessary. And if the areas are purified and the poisons eliminated, through the channels indicated, these should clear up and give little trouble. The colds and congestion from the lack of activity in these should be eliminated and the tendency for the body to have a slight temperature or fever, or strep in throat and those portions, from the lack of proper eliminations, will clear up.
13. (Q) Should a special diet be followed?
    (A) Keep those foods that are more of the eliminating natures, leave out sweets.
14. (Q) Is salt in diet injurious?
    (A) Use kelp or deep sea salt instead of the regular table salt.
15. (Q) Is bed rest best?
    (A) Bed rest is very good, but you can take too much of it.
16. (Q) Can I recover and be able to re-enter the Army?
    (A) Read what we have just given. You should live a normal life when these corrections are made.
17. We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

1. See 797-1, a Life Rdg., on 1/22/35.
2. 7/31/43 His mother, Mrs. [1657], requested an appointment for a Physical Rdg. for him, saying he was home from the army because of illness.
3. 3/05/44 He submitted questions: "Can I recover, and be able to re-enter the Army? Will I be able to participate in sports again, especially baseball? How may I improve?"

REPORTS

1. 6/05/44 He phoned GD saying he has taken the 10 osteopathic treatments from Dr. Irvin - feels pretty good, but the laboratory tests still show condition not cleared up; though the rdg. indicated it would be slow. Would like another appointment for Ck. Rdg. to see if anything else is needed or if everything is proceeding okay is going to continue the treatments.
