Now, as we find, conditions-physical are very good in many
ways; yet there are those conditions the correction of which
in the present would bring about much nearer normal
conditions in the body, and relieve the body of those
distresses that arise at times; that produce disturbances
through the mucous membranes of the throat, the head, and
the soft tissue of the face; those that make for a great
deal of disturbance at times through the eliminating
portions of the system, and thus prevent later a great
disturbance throughout the system.
These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this
body, [
1095] we are speaking of:
IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, there are the indications of a
superacidity that oftentimes arises in the system. This is
not only from the character of the food or the diet or the
excess of portions of these, but from pressures that are
indicated that exist in the upper dorsal and through
portions of the cervical areas, where - when those
congestions and colds arise - the body becomes more aware of
these by the conditions that exist through this portion of
the body; by the ache or the pain or the heaviness across
the lower portion of the lung area; though this is more in
the muscular forces than in the tissue itself.
Also there are indications, from the character or the nature
of the blood supply, of how the pressures from the lower
lumbar area, or through the axis there, produce pressures
from the feet and lower limbs that make for a distress
through these portions of the body; making a heaviness at
times and thus causing distresses in the eliminations through
the alimentary canal.
The clearing of these would prevent much of that which has
disturbed or does disturb the body.
From those conditions or pressures, or lack of the impulse
through the blood and nerve supply, in the upper dorsal,
there is the filling of the soft tissue in the face at times.
Hence those conditions in the sensory system itself.
THE NERVE FORCES OF THE BODY, we find these become overtaxed
at times through the very NATURE of the disturbance; for not
only is there the disturbance in the deeper nerve supply but
the reflexes are to the sympathetics, as indicated. Hence
those periods of irritation that arise - or come rather from
the nerve forces than those things that are of the physical
nature. For we find both the reactions to the physical AND
to the sympathetic or nerve forces.
IN THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, these, as we find, are generally
under a strain, as the congestion that is shown at times in
the liver and the spleen; or especially in the hepatic
circulation.
As we find, then, if these conditions are cleared we would
make for a relieving not only of these disturbances but make
for better reactions through the body, [
1095], we are
speaking of.
THEN, IN MAKING THE APPLICATIONS FOR SAME:
First, as we find, there should be in the BEGINNING periods
of relaxation, that would be made by the use of either the
PINE Baths or Pine Sweats, and then general rub. These would
be under one week about two or three; that is, until the
stimulations are such that the superficial circulation is set
in motion - so we would take these about two or three times
in one week. Of course, this would be severe upon the body;
but these stimulations are necessary if we are to rid the
conditions entirely.
Then we would have the adjustments osteopathically made, not
only in the lumbar but specifically through the dorsal and
the cervical area. These would be taken for about eight to
fifteen treatments. When these are made, the one treatment
should be a GENERAL treatment and the next a specific
adjustment in the lumbar and the upper dorsal and cervical
area, etc. When those adjustments in the lumbars are made,
coordinate the bursae of the feet with the general
locomotory forces of the body itself.
Be mindful in the diet, that there is a refraining from too
great a quantity of highly SEASONED foods, spices, peppers,
too much sweets. No red meats. These are too severe upon
the system.
These kept for the full period, as we find, would make for
a correction with this body.
Ready for questions.
(Q) How many of the Sweat Baths should be taken?
(A) Three, as just indicated.
We are through for the present.
