First, we find the BLOOD SUPPLY distinctly disturbed as to
its manner of circulation in various portions of the system.
Some portions become (as in the lower extremities at times)
so slow as to cause not only some swelling but discoloration,
in spots. And in the joints (as in ankle, as in knee, as in
groin at times) there is a great deal of distress, very much
like neuritis or a rheumatic condition. But it is more the
effect of the pressure upon the circulation produced by a
subluxation existent in the 4th lumbar area, as coordinant
with the area at the end of the spine - or in the coccyx
plexus. If these were relieved, as we find, with those
pressures that have caused or been caused by the nerve
reflexes - as we shall see, by the adhesion, or such a
condition produced in portions of the system from this
lack of the lymph or of the blood supply that aids in
circulation in tissue - it would MATERIALLY aid the
headaches that arise from the disturbances in the blood
supply, the nerve system and the eliminations of the body.
Again in the blood supply we find the circulatory forces as
related to heart's activity making for a change, or quite a
difference at times in the pulsation; at times near to normal
of eighty-four - at others we will find it below even 70
or 72, and at others we will find it to be to 90 or 94.
A variation. This may be at times two or three days in its
variation, and then again for several days be near to normal.
In the NERVE FORCES of the body, we find:
With those changes that have come and are coming about in
the eliminations that affect the organs of the pelvis and
through the eliminating system associated with same, with
this subluxation and the pressure that has existed in the
coccyx and the lumbar area, there has been the tending
toward the creating of an IRRITATION. This has produced
a coherence, or an adhering - as it were - of the organs
of same, in the area itself.
Hence we have at times some minor, and at others some quite
disturbing and aggravating discharge, that makes for quite
an irritation upon the nerves of the system. And this
reacting to the body, with the various disturbances that
have been indicated in the nerve forces of the body, assists
in bringing on these periods of very severe headaches. These
are from the BEARING down pains, as it were, or on top of
head and to the base of the brain - these appear as if they
were SEPARATING; and, as it were, the feeling that if the
top could be lifted a bit - it would let the steam off - as
it might be expressed.
The pressures indicated, coming between or in the area where
there is the coordination between the cerebrospinal and the
sympathetic or vegetative nerve systems, make for a great
deal of disturbance physically - or the internal nervous
forces of the body. They produce the inability, as it were,
for the body to move about; disturbing the equilibrium; also
affecting the vegetative forces so that the eyes become - as
it were - dimmed; there appears to be a great deal of humming
in the ears; there's a fullness in the throat and a nausea
that comes with all of same, such as to produce a reaction
through the sympathetic forces of the body.
These react or make for disturbing factors in this manner
through the forces of the body, as we find.
In the functioning of the ORGANS themselves, we find:
Brain forces are very good.
Pressures as indicated in the nervous forces, of course,
find their reaction in the SENSORY forces of the body,
and the sensory nerve reaction; as well as to the sympathetic
reaction to the bodily forces.
Throat, bronchi, lungs and larynx: These organically are
very good, yet the disturbance through the circulatory
forces makes for disturbances spasmodically or at times,
at intervals.
The lungs, the bronchials and the heart's activity: The
heart's activity organically is very good, though through
the circulatory forces as indicated there is the heaviness
felt in the lung area when the pressures on the body attempt
to make for a clarifying. Or as the blood is slow in same,
in the deeper portions of the body, or the extremities, it
makes for this heaviness through the lungs, though
organically not disturbed to a great extent.
In the digestive forces do we find sympathetically a nervous
reaction and a lack of the proper eliminations through the
alimentary canal. These make for a heaviness through the
right portion, or through the liver, the gall duct area,
and ESPECIALLY in the lacteal ducts; a little heaviness
is felt at times in the caecum or the lower right side.
The hepatic circulation being disturbed, with the
disturbances as indicated, naturally the inflammation
through the area in the uterus and in the vagina and organs
of the pelvis causes a scant and yet at other times rather
an active elimination through the bladder or the activities
of the kidneys. Yet these leave poisons by the very
activity, or slow activity of the hepatic circulation and
the disturbance in the whole of the circulation as an
organic activity.
Then, in meeting the needs of the conditions of this body,
as we find:
We would first take the chiropractic adjustments, ESPECIALLY
that adjustment which is made from this coccyx and lumbar
center. Take such an adjustment treatment, chiropractically,
every day for a week to ten days.
Then at the end of that time, leaving off the adjustments
for a week, take during the rest period week each day a
douche. To each quart of tepid water we would add two
teaspoonsful, or one dessertspoonful, of Atomidine - as
a solution for the douche, see? This, as we find, will make
for not only cleansing but revivifying the activities with
especially the adjustments as may be made in the lumbar and
coccyx area. And such adjustments would be for not only the
relieving of the pressures as indicated, but to stimulate a
general activity and make for a specific correction of the
circulatory forces of the body. Thus we will correct those
conditions in the extremities, in the nervous forces of the
body, and those of the more specific nature as we have
indicated.
After the douches have been taken for a week (one each day),
we would begin again with the chiropractic treatments and
take them for a period of THREE WEEKS - once each day an
adjustment and a general treatment.
In the meantime, if there hasn't been a stoppage of the
discharge, and the pressures and bearing down pains through
the pelvic organs, take again a few - two, three or four - of
the douches. For the douches use about a quart to two quarts
of water (prepared as indicated), holding same as long as
convenient without causing pain.
Then at the end of the three-week period of the chiropractic
treatments (not before), begin with the deep therapy as may
be had from not the sinusoidal - but that rather with the
sinusoidal machine which is of the reverse coil, or a very
low treatment of same. And we would make the attachments
so as to empty or as to cause an activity of the GALL duct,
and the circulatory forces through the upper hepatics; that
is, making the connections at the 3rd and 4th dorsal (one
plate) and the other plate over the lacteal duct or the
gall duct area. We would only take six to eight of these
treatments; it should not be necessary to take more than
that.
However, if it becomes necessary to take other chiropractic
ADJUSTMENTS, then another week of the electrical treatments
should be sufficient - or two weeks.
During the whole period we would keep the diet tending more
toward the alkalin-reacting nature; body and blood building.
But the diets that have been indicated for the body are very
good.
As to the baths that have been taken - those of some electric
spray, or the electric baths - unless and UNTIL there is this
pressure removed, these CANNOT be VERY beneficial. They may
make for temporary relief, but, as we find, following these
suggestions, in a few weeks - six to eight weeks - the body
should be near to normal.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Am I suffering from what the medical world calls
migraine headaches?
(A) No. Not in toto. True, there are some symptoms
of same; but it is rather that as we have indicated - a
disturbance in the circulation that has borne upon the
system in such a manner as to make for irritations in
such measures, in such ways, that it has borne upon not
only the sympathetic but the cerebrospinal nervous system.
So, correcting those segments and aligning the cerebrospinal
system as indicated, with the electrical treatments following
same, should - with the douches and the diet, etc. - correct
the condition.
(Q) When these headaches occur, what means can be taken for
immediate relief?
(A) An adjustment (chiropractic).
(Q) In what condition is the uterus?
(A) As indicated.
Follow these suggestions as they have been outlined and they
should bring very much nearer normal forces for this body,

We are through for the present.

knee?" [?]]
(GD's notes at time of reading: See letter [which was
enclosed] to CHIROPRACTOR with directions for his
treatments. Be sure you get a Chiropractor instead of an
Osteopath or Naturopath or some other, because it seems
that the Chiropractor is especially trained in making that
coccyx-lumbar correction referred to in the reading, where
the other schools of treating are not.
See letter [which was enclosed] with directions to
ELECTROTHERAPIST for the electrical-sinusoidal treatments
as indicated. The Chiropractor may be able to give these
treatments also, if he has the necessary equipment; but
be sure they are given AFTER the periods of chiropractic
adjustments...and in the order indicated. This is very
important.
See booklet [which was enclosed] explaining the Atomidine
and where obtained, to be used for the douches.
See Alkalin-Reacting Diet List [which was enclosed].
