(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the body here.
Now, as we find, there are many conditions in the physical forces of the body that are very good; yet there ARE disturbing conditions that may be, as we find, corrected in the present; that would make for a much more coordinating physical functioning, and thus relieve the body from physical anxieties and from physical disturbing conditions that are apparent in the assimilating and eliminating forces of the body.
These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [1140] we are speaking of, present in this room:
IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, there are times when the flow itself is not too normal, and there are hindrances then in the assimilating forces that cause this lack of there being builded sufficient of the red blood cells to at all times coordinate or cooperate in preventing the disturbing forces in portions of the body.
This, as we find, arises primarily from the distortions in the katabolism, or in the elements that go to make for activity in the glands of the body, as related to the manner in which the effluvia or the hormones of the blood stream make for their coagulating forces through the body. These arise from those conditions that have come about by sedimentary reactions with the pancreas, the spleen and the gall duct in ITS activity UPON the system in the SECRETIONS from these.
Primarily this arises from a condition that has arisen from conditions that were in times back a disturbing factor, and thus in their correction made for an accumulation that caused a strangular reaction in the lacteal ducts.
This, then, is the basis not only of those disturbing conditions but that as produces through other portions of the body the non-activity of eliminations from a NORMAL reaction. Thus in portions of the body there have been at times those tendencies for the accumulation in lymph pockets. There have been made pressures upon various portions of the internal reactions to the system, thus making for a drying effect or a slowed circulation through the sympathetics that have at times brought into the activities the reactions from the sympathetic to the sensory forces of the body.
These corrected in the present, as we find, would make for a gradual building back to a normalcy for the body through its reacting system.
IN THE NERVE FORCES OF THE BODY, these natural deficiencies or exaggerated conditions make for pressures upon the nerve forces of the body, at times causing not the normal rest, at others the conditions in pressures upon the system as to produce to the organs of the sensory system disturbing factors.
Also the reactions through the coordination between the cerebrospinal and sympathetic systems produce those pressures in the brain forces, or the headaches that make for a reaction that reacts to the whole of the impulses of the body itself.
IN THE ORGANS OF THE BODY, as indicated, those that have to do with the assimilating or production of that which produces in the body the abilities for the system to replenish itself become involved in the condition.
Tautness, to be sure, exists along the cerebrospinal system, specifically in those areas where the locomotories of the body - both to upper and lower at times - give rise to disturbances there.
IN MEETING, THEN, THE NEEDS OF THE CONDITIONS, AS WE FIND:
First there should be taken the time to make for an activity upon the organs of the assimilating system; an activity that would not only drain the gall duct of those tendencies for sedimentary reactions but that would stimulate all the activities from the organs of the abdominal area to the normalcy, for the pressure through the activity or coordinating of the circulatory forces with the organs of assimilation and also for CLEANSING the system in those particular disturbed areas.
So, we would first begin with a compound that is combined or prepared under the name Zilatone. One tablet of a morning, one of an evening, for two days. On the third day, in the evening before retiring, take two tablets. The next morning (the fourth day) before arising, take two tablespoonsful of Fleet's Phospho-Soda stirred in a whole glass of water, as warm or as hot as may be taken. Lying on the right side, make for a pressure in those areas about the liver, the lacteal ducts (by putting a pillow underneath the body in that area). And these will make for, through that day, a drainage that will cleanse the system.
Through these periods (the four days), let the diet be rather of a semi-liquid nature; or fruit juices, beef juices, vegetable soups as combined, and the like.
Then, after two or three days (following the taking of the medicinal properties), begin with manipulative measures osteopathically made, specifically in the lumbar area, the 9th dorsal and the brachial area; through, of course, the cervicals, that each coordinating center between the deeper circulation and the superficial is released, that drainages are kept and that the body-functioning may build back to that of an equal balance throughout the system.
These we would take (the manipulative measures) for a period of two to three weeks, twice a week; and then have a rest period from same of two weeks, and then take them again for a period of like time.
And we would find the general conditions much changed.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Are puffs under my eyes from kidneys or from stomach?
(A) From the pressures produced in the lacteal duct area, as we have indicated, by this change that occurs in the incoordination or inactivity of the superficial circulation with the internal. And those tendencies for the pressure in the upper hepatic circulation make for this disturbance.
(Q) Is lump in my throat a thyroid nature or lymphatic?
(A) Lymphatic; it arising from those tendencies for stoppages in portions of the circulation due to the attempts of the system to make for a BALANCING in a condition that needs attention - as we have indicated - in the liver, gall duct area, the pancreas and the spleen to make for their coordinations of the activities of the ducts through same, or the activities of the glands to PRODUCE a balance in lymph AND blood circulation. While the lymph, of course, at times is a portion of same (that is, of the blood circulation), the inability of coagulation through the lack of those elements by the improper secretions from the indicated organs and their glands produces the disturbance. This area drained, and then the proper stimulation (through the properties indicated, and the osteopathic manipulations), with the diets kept for a building up of the system, will clear these conditions.
(Q) Is all my digestive trouble in stomach or intestines?
(A) As indicated, more arises from the lacteal duct area; though an unbalancing (for at times the body experiences the lack of the ability of the gastric forces to digest foods, which) produces through the intestinal tract disturbing factors - but this is the lack of the proper elements to cause the proper balance of the lacteals, or the alkalins and the acids. For the system becomes excessive in either direction by the very changes that come about; with a tendency, to be sure, for a lack of calcium for the whole system, and at other times lack of the excesses in the needed alkalinities.
(Q) Have I fibroids in and around uterus? If so, what size - and should I have these removed?
(A) As we find, these are rather the pressures upon the organs by the improper drainages because of the disturbings in the circulation. We would not in the present have these removed, but if the drainages are set up from the 9th dorsal, the lumbar plexus being CORRECTED, specifically, and coordinated, with the proper drainages set up, these should be absorbed - and naturally would be a much better way and manner than the operative forces.
After these processes as indicated are carried through, then if these continue this would be another question.
But the system itself, properly balanced, takes care of excesses even; though necessarily slower than operative forces, but safer - without those chances for the reaction from scar tissues' effect or the accumulation of lymph pockets or of irritations that make for fibrous reaction.
(Q) Shall I have enlarged joint or bunion operated upon?
(A) With these drainages, these conditions should be materially aided. And massage same rather, morning and evening, with equal portions of Olive Oil and Tincture of Myrrh - heating the oil to add the myrrh. With the drainages, with the manipulative forces, with the organs balanced, these should disappear without operative forces.
Do that.
(Q) What can I do to help my feet?
(A) These pressures in the lumbar area should be removed, so as to relieve the feet.
To be sure, when the manipulative forces are given, these should extend to the bursae especially of the feet; those under the knee, those along the portions of the ankle to the portions of the feet. But massage the feet and the joints especially with the equal portions of the Olive Oil and Tincture of Myrrh; this will relieve same.
(Q) What is the meaning of drainage?
(A) When the activity from the nerve forces and the muscular plexus along any portion of the cerebrospinal system, from which organs or portions of the body receive their nerve impulse, are stimulated, this sets up a circulation that allows for refuse forces or drosses from the system to be carried out in a normal way and manner. This is drainage, see? Not necessary that excesses only through the alimentary canal be increased in eliminations to make for proper drainages, but the muscular forces or tendons or bursae or the areas along the system where the nerve plexus produce the improper impulse need to be stimulated. This is why the activity through a massage properly osteopathically given sets up such drainages better than the administering of those things that stimulate an already disturbed condition between the deep circulation and the superficial, see (that is, through cathartics, etc., see)?
Hence these are the indications as we find for the body.
While it is necessary to stimulate the activity of the organs that are showing a tendency for slowness or laggardness in their activity, this must be done properly - from their impulses or centers along the cerebrospinal system - to be EFFECTIVE and to MAINTAIN an equilibrium.
(Q) Is Miss Mabel Todd the right osteopath for me to go to in the Essex House, W. 59th St.?
(A) If she will make the adjustments in these specific centers as indicated, you see, and not attempt to make drainages ONLY by stimulating the upper DORSAL and CERVICAL areas, correct. She has the ability! If she will follow these suggestions, correct.
Do these things.
(Q) Where is the lacteal duct area?
(A) In the right portion just below the liver or the gall duct, and a portion of the liver area; a hand's breadth - that is, the four fingers - from the umbilicus or navel plexus to the right side, see?
(Q) How do I treat that?
(A) As indicated, in those activities of the properties in the Zilatone as combined with the Phospho-Soda - taken as indicated. Then the stimulating of the centers along the cerebrospinal system that carry the impulse for circulation will bring normalcy for this area; loosening - There will be times when there will be felt in the right side a little trickling or tingling sensation, especially for the first day or two after the taking of the Phospho-Soda, see? But these will gradually adjust themselves. Do that.
(Q) What is the size of the largest tumor that is around the uterus?
(A) That of a wren's egg. And this is more of the nature of the LYMPH sacs than the harder areas. And if these are carried forward as we have indicated, these SHOULD be absorbed. If they are not, necessarily - as has been indicated - other measures should be taken. But we would advise THESE first; then we may give further instructions.
We are through for the present.
