TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1511], present in this room.
2. Now, as we find, there are some disturbing conditions in the physical forces of the body the correction of which would not only alleviate disturbances that automatically arise at times in periods but relieve other disturbing conditions that are a portion of same also.
3. Thus we would have a near to normal physical reacting body, giving the opportunity for the greater mental and physical expression through same.
4. These then are disturbances as we find them with this body, Mrs. [1511] we are speaking of, present in this room:
5. First, in the blood supply we find - owing to the nerve pressures and disturbances - there's the inclination towards a character of anemia; more in the nature of that in which there is the lack of the proper hormones in the blood stream for the creating of the balance between the red and white blood supply, or the lymph and the leucocyte supply of the blood forces themselves.
6. This is produced as we find primarily by some adhesions and pressures that exist in the lumbar and sacral areas; and with the pressure upon the nerve system, with the effect as produced to the reactions between the sympathetic or vegetative nerve system and the cerebrospinal we find also a sympathetic condition through the soft tissue and nasal passages and through the throat - those inclinations for the lack of the proper oxidization through the blood supply in the lung areas.
7. Not that there are organic disturbances, but these as we find arise as sympathetic conditions through those portions of the body as well as from the high nervous tension from those conditions that have been indicated which arise from adhesions and pressures IN the lumbar and sacral areas.
8. As to the activity of these upon the nervous system, and the activities upon the organs of the bodily functionings themselves, we find:
9. These, as we have indicated, produce pressures and deflections in such measures as to affect - through the nerve system and systems - the assimilating forces, the digestive influences, the activities to the organs in the sensory forces; all of these come under stress through the reaction of these disturbances in the system.
10. Then in meeting the needs of the conditions:
11. While it is well that constructive activity physically, mentally, spiritually be exercised at all times in the reactions to the conditions in and around the bodily forces, we find that when there are those PHYSICAL reactions that cause a disturbance of the specific natures that exist, then mechanical applications may relieve these when these may NOT be done through mere suggestions themselves.
12. Then, as we find, through manipulations osteopathically administered - through the sacral and the lumbar area; correcting, of course, after the first four to five of such adjustments made, those disturbances in the coccyx end of the spine as well as coordinating the centers through the upper dorsal and cervical - we will relieve the disturbances for this body and bring about a near to normal condition.
13. With the pressures existent there will gradually come more and more of the tilting of the stomach.
14. These are then the activities necessary in the present. We would give some ten to fifteen such treatments, then a rest period from same, and then we find only a few more being necessary - if they are given properly; one or two occasionally might be necessary.
15. But do these for this body.
16. Ready for questions.
17. (Q) Will I have another baby, and when?
    (A) For the carrying forward of same it will be necessary for corrections to be made, before it will be possible for it to be carried to the full extent or time. When these corrections ARE made, then this may be brought about for full conception - when desired.
18. (Q) Any special osteopath?
    (A) One that would be in sympathy, or that would carry out those suggestions for the proper adjustments and corrections through the system.
    To be sure, we want to coordinate the dorsal and upper cervicals for those conditions in the lung, as well as in throat and head; but these should become SECONDARY or the latter portion of the adjustments - making proper corrections in the lower portion first as given.
    Do that.
19. (Q) Do I need any local treatment for my nose or head?
    (A) If there are the corrections, this should NOT be necessary - if these are given properly. There WILL be, of course, some local treatment - but this will be AFTER the adjustments are made for the CORRECTING of the flow of the circulation, the removal of the inclinations for the accumulations and for the growths there; but these should be secondary and NOT the first primary cause.
20. (Q) Any suggestions regarding diet or building up the system?
    (A) The body is a very good dietician! if it would follow same, though it doesn't always follow! But keep that normal balance of the alkaline and acid, or eighty percent alkalin reaction to twenty percent acid reaction in the foods.
    The body may keep a well balanced diet in this direction and keep normal in that respect.
21. (Q) Any other suggestions?
    (A) Do these as we find, and we will bring the better normal and near to normal conditions for this body.
    Keep the mental activity constructive in EVERY manner, to make for more OPTIMISM throughout - to have the better physical force for the better physical and mental reaction in same.
22. We are through for the present.

REPORTS

1. 1/05/38 Report afterwards to GD: Felt Rdg. was remarkable, in that it explained her "allergy" trouble as explained by physicians, when no mention of it was made beforehand. Three years ago had acidosis, felt badly after that; then started sneezing, developed hay fever - had all checks and given anti-acid things; said sinus showed anemic condition; no particular germ or allergy found. Her baby came, which is now 18 mo. old; the trouble became better but began to develop again - started to osteopath, Dr. Mutschler [O. C. Mutschler, D.O.], for 2 weeks - about three months ago, just before she became pregnant again (being pregnant now); and he said, definitely, as the Rdg., that the sinus condition was only secondary - he used osteopathy and Abrams' treatment and she felt better, but stopped after becoming pregnant. Said she would go back to him, she felt sure he would follow the Rdg.
2. 1/06/38 Mother's letter:
   "...Regarding [1511], for the past 4 years she has suffered from what we called Hay Fever, for the want of a better name. The symptoms were the same as hay fever but persisted through out the year. She has been under treatment almost constantly. First by a doctor of internal medicine, who sent her to a nose and throat specialist, only to be sent back to the internal medicine man. Besides this, several times each year she has gone to ..., Pa. to stay with my people to be under the care of our family physician, Dr. Mutschler. Dr. M. has practiced osteopathy for many years and in addition for the past 12 years has also used the Abrams' or electronic system of diagnosis and treatments, at the same time making some interesting discoveries, which he has put into practice. Each trip to ... continued both methods of treatment as long as advised by Dr. M. Her condition would be improved, but only for a short time. In your reading mechanical treatment, as well as osteopathic adjustment was advised. Do you think the mechanical treatment could mean the Abrams' Electronic treatment? If so, Dr. M. has both systems required; but here are the objections. Dr. M. is a skilled and a spiritual man but over this long period of treatment he has failed either in locating the seat of the trouble or in making the proper adjustment, while I think he might be sympathetic to your suggestions, [1511]'s environment in ... while most comfortable would be a disease conscious one - with no sympathy or understanding of what we are doing. Now for the question. Do you think it would be nice for her to come to me here in N.Y. for several weeks when we could procure the proper treatment here? I am sorry to trouble you and will fully understand if you cannot advise me. My most important duty at the moment is to get [1511] well."
3. 1/12/38 EC's reply: "...If you had [1511] there with you for a few weeks and let her go to Dr. Reilly for a few treatments... Dr. Reilly has had several cases that he has handled and I'm sure he would give [1511] what she is looking for, real help..."
4. 2/11/38 Mother's letter: "...My married daughter, [1511] who had the physical reading, spent 2 weeks in N.Y. and was under Dr. Reilly's care while there. She will wait a while before having a check reading."
5. 4/10/38 Mother's letter: "...My daughter, [1511] was benefitted by following the instructions of a physical reading given Jan. 5th of this year, has had a slight return of trouble. Can you give the name and address of an osteopathic physician, either in Norfolk or Richmond, who is familiar and sympathetic to the work you are doing?..."
6. 4/12/38 EC wrote giving the names of 4 osteopaths in Norfolk. Irvin, Hudgins, Ober, Richardson.
7. 6/09/38 Mother's letter: "...My daughter [1511] has noticed some improvement under Dr. Richardson's treatments but continues to be quite uncomfortable at times..."
8. 11/22/38 Mother's letter: "...[1511], who had the physical reading, continues to have early morning attacks of sneezing - sometime[s] lasting for several hours. She plans to have a check reading..."
