In the NERVE SYSTEM we have the tendency for restlessness, or
the body is unable to at times make the concentration,
especially in relationships with individuals or groups; not
so much in its activities. Then we have periods when there
are hot and cold flushes; tendencies for the extremities to
feel a numbness, or for the limbs apparently to become asleep
or numb. Then we have the reactions in the coordination of
the faculties when there are periods that things do not taste
as they should; others when the way the body has thought
concerning individuals, self, the moral relations, the
theologian expressions or philosophies, does not seem to
answer or satisfy the general unrest. This is not merely
from a torpid liver but, as indicated, there are many
functioning organs disturbed - through the activity of the
eliminations in the alimentary canal. These make for
disorders that affect the functionings of the eliminations,
when pressures are made upon the activity in the kidneys so
that there are irritations with the bladder, and the organs
of the pelvis become - as it were - CONSCIOUS more of their
activity in the system when those actions make for the
repressions or the conditions in the nervous forces of the
body. This has tended to make for an accumulation in the
caecum area of the body, so that we have along the right side
- just below the liver area, just above the hip - a
heaviness, with an acuteness at times in the opposite side or
in the left side. This is more localized, but never is there
the same consciousness of it - except in the heaviness or
acuteness.
In the ascending colon, then, we have an accumulation that
makes for an engorgement there.
These are the effects of conditions, and - as we find - the
specifics arise from a tendency in the lumbar axis of an
unbalancing of the weight, or pressure that has - with the
activities of the body - gradually brought on these
alterations in nerves, and reacting on same in the
functioning of the organs as related to the body.
In the functioning of the ORGANS themselves, we find:
Brain forces are very good. The activities as to detail,
minutia, are evidenced in the positions of the nerve
reactions to the organs of the whole body. Little escapes
making an impression upon the mental attributes of the body.
Easily may the body tell, when seeing an accident, any room
individuals or the like, in great detail much of how the
body-reactions or impressions were.
In the soft tissue of the head and throat we have those
reactions at times from the effect of a poor circulation; as
a drying, smarting at times, that affects the sensory
organisms - that must necessarily be eliminated without
causing a great deal of trouble either to the eyes, hearing,
or without it settling in the throat or nose. These are only
indications in the present, but at times are very apparent.
In the bronchi, throat, lungs and larynx, we find these are
very good considering the manner under which the respiratory
system acts in accordance with these reflexes from a
disturbed circulation and a less quantity of blood supply.
No organic disturbance. Little functioning disturbance,
unless there are those periods when the body is under excess
or acute excitement or overtaxing by long standing on the
feet, or overexercises that make for the heaviness arising
in or under the point of the shoulder blades, or from the
axis of the brachial centers. These are rather sympathetic
conditions, as are the pulsation and the heart's activity.
Here no organic disturbance.
As to the stomach itself, here we find a sympathetic
condition from the activities from the gastric flow, as well
as at times a regurgitation from the duodenum from the
repressions in the liver area that make for the awareness of
a fullness at times across the abdomen, especially over the
lower portion of the spleen area. These are only reflexes
and sympathetic conditions.
The organs disturbed, then, are those of the hepatic
circulation, or the liver and its concurrent activity with
the pancreas, spleen, gall duct, eliminations through the
system; the activities of the spleen, the kidneys, and the
eliminations through the canals that make for drainages in
the system in the pelvic organs and jejunum and colon and
those activities throughout - that are indicated as showing
sympathetic and functional disturbance.
Then, in making corrections that may bring about the normalcy
for this body, [
800], we are speaking of, present in this
room, first we find that just for the very activity of the
body-mind to know the causes will be a relief for the body
itself. But, as in the analyzing and in the carrying forward
from an analytical mind's activity, it is necessary for
specific conditions of specific natures to be accomplished
that there may be the reactions or corrections brought about
that will make for a normalcy or a betterment throughout the
whole body.
First, then, we would begin with the vibrations from
electrical applications; and, as we find, the best for the
body in the present would be the violet ray - but take same
with the Animated Ash. We would take, then, every day an
eighth grain of Animated Ash. Empty this from the capsule
and take with a small swallow of water. Three to five
minutes after taking the Ash (and this would be preferably
given just before the body is ready to retire), give - from
ten to fifteen minutes - the violet ray, principally across
the diaphragm area and specifically over the liver area and
gall duct and then along the whole of the cerebro-spinal
system.
As we find, three to five deep osteopathic manipulations
would be excellent to aid in making for the coordinations of
the centers especially in the lumbar plexus that show for the
unbalancing. Necessary, to be sure, that we coordinate the
9th dorsal center, the brachial center and the 3rd, 4th and
5th dorsal area, and the cervicals from the whole area of
these including the hypogastric and pneumogastric plexus, as
well as specific activity or pressures applied for the vagus
nerves or the fifth nerve, so that the internal circulation
which is stimulated by the revivifying of the centers by the
electrical forces and the recarbonizing of the blood supply
may be particularly aided.
Then, be mindful of the diet. To be sure, this should be in
the form of blood building; with the proper vibrations and
radiations and the revivifying of the functioning of the
organs themselves. So we would have rather, then, an
alkalin-reacting diet. Not that the body is to set itself
in the position that the diet becomes the RULE, but knowing
in which direction the foods should act - and those things
that will aid most in correcting the influences in the body
- the body should take what is necessary. The
alkalin-reacting foods in the main, though, would be the
better. We would alter specifically the breakfasts. We
would have citrus fruit juices, coddled egg with no white,
and at other periods the barley malt with the whole wheat or
cracked wheat and barley malt. These will add the necessary
iron, silicon and the vitamins combined in same, to stimulate
the assimilating forces in the lacteal ducts and to build and
strengthen the body. We would have one or two meals each
week, at least, of broiled calves' liver. This has those
vitamins necessary also for the increasing of that balance in
the homones [hormones?] and the urea of the blood forces that
may be acted upon by such stimulation.
Necessary that we at times eliminate through the alimentary
canal by the use of colonic irrigations. These should not be
taken too often, but in the first two or three take
sufficient that we remove the mucous that is indicated as an
accumulation in the ascending colon in the present. Three,
then, would be taken in about two weeks; then a month or six
weeks apart should be sufficient - if the diet is carried in
such a way as to make for body-building.
Do these and we will bring for the body a near normal
condition.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Could Dr. H. B. Bressler [H. Bond Bressler, D.C.] give
me these treatments successfully?
(A) Except for the osteopathic manipulations and
adjustments, the most of these treatments suggested may be
taken by self!
(Q) On account of my present employment may I take these
treatments after work?
(A) As indicated, most of these treatments should be taken
just before retiring. Of course, the manipulations, the
adjustments for the specific centers as indicated in the
lumbar - and coordinating those in the central and upper
dorsal and through the cervical area - five to six of these
should be sufficient, but arrangements may be made to have
these given in the evening as well as at any other period.
(Q) How long should I follow these treatments?
(A) This will necessarily depend upon the consistency and
persistency in following same. We will see changes in a very
few days, if these are followed. There will be some periods
of reactions when the body will not feel so well; for
remember, the body has builded on that which has become sort
of a constitutional condition to do without the blood supply
necessary for the nutriment; and the body has tended to live
a good deal on its nerves. But these conditions would soon
pass away, if there is the persistence that should be.
(Q) Outline a diet for me.
(A) As indicated, it is more preferable not to set an
outline, "Well, I can't eat this or that; I mustn't do this
or that," for this body as well as any other body! But an
alkalin-reaction in the main is more preferable for the diet.
ABSTAIN from these - and then we will have the rest almost
as indicated: Not a great deal of bananas in any form, or
raw apples. Nuts - when these are taken let them be filberts
or almonds, that are much more preferable. Meats - do not
eat hog meat in ANY manner, save a little crisp bacon
occasionally. NEVER any hog meat, and especially none
uncured. Not a great deal of heavy fats; these are harmful
for the body. But most of the other things for a normal diet
are the more preferable. Not fried foods either; these work
upon the conditions in the liver and are not good for the
body.
(Q) Dr. Riley D. Moore for the osteopathic treatments -
would he be alright?
(A) Yes, he would be very good; VERY good. Make the
manipulations or adjustments in the lumbar, COORDINATING the
others with same.
Do these, and we will bring those conditions for the body so
that its outlook upon life, the whole of the perspective will
be raised. For with torpidity in self and worriments in the
mental, these are hand in hand with great irritation - and
close down the horizon even of hope.
(Q) I have diarrhea all the time. Will this treatment
take care of this?
(A) When we remove the irritations as indicated in the
caecum area, we overcome these conditions by removing the
mucous, that is as an accumulation - causing irritations to
the flow. As the pressures are taken off the lumbar and 9th
dorsal, these will materially aid also.
We are through for the present.
