GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body. You will answer the questions, as I ask them:
EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2338].
Now as we find, rather would there be the suggestions for preventing the arising disturbances from inclinations or tendencies which exist with this body.
While there are some specific disturbances which prevent normal reactions, we find that these do not hinder in the general physical welfare; though there are those tendencies for disturbances in organs that may PROVE to be detrimental forces to the body.
These, then, are conditions as we find them with this body, [2338] we are speaking of, present in this room:
In the blood supply we find there are the inclinations towards a disturbance with the pancrean activity. This, at times, as combined with general conditions, causes some disturbance in the metabolism of the system, as well as in those directions of producing too great a quantity of sugars for a nominal balance.
That there has NOT been, from these tendencies, the inclinations or a disturbance in the katabolism, is indicated from the nature of the causes of such tendencies.
Also in the blood stream there are those inclinations for a roughening at times through the superficial circulation; causing the inclinations for the eliminations to become involved.
In the nervous system we find the SOURCES of these tendencies; for there exists a subluxation in the lumbar and sacral areas that has hindered, and does hinder, the normal functioning through the pelvic or genitive system.
This is turn, through the sympathetic relationships between the superficial and deeper circulation, causes the reactions in the lymph AND the emunctory system to the pancreas, the liver, the spleen, in their coordinations with the general functioning system.
As to the organs themselves, - we find the brain forces and the reflexes from same are very good. These indicate the normal reactions; while in the sensory system - because of those tendencies and relationships with the disturbances to the eliminating and the imaginative system - there comes at times the hindrances to the better circulation. Hence those conditions that may sympathetically occur with the hearing, the taste, and the vision at times. However, these in the present are not in those proportions as to cause any GREAT disturbance. These WILL grow, unless there ARE those corrections made for the better coordination there.
Throat, bronchi, lungs, larynx,- we find only a nominal reaction under the sympathetic disturbances.
In the digestive system, and as related to the heart, liver and kidneys, - we find through the sympathetic reaction there is caused in the metabolism, as indicated, those conditions which at times make some variations in the pulsation; though the PRESSURES that are indicated TEND toward too great a pressure. These are tendencies, and vary a great deal at times in their reaction through the system.
It is not a heart disturbance, but the inclinations from the pancrean reaction; and the heaviness that occurs at times across the small of the back, or below, or between the kidney AND the lumbar-sacral area. These are merely reflexes, and are indicated through nerve reactions.
Digestive forces at times are very good; at others we find a NERVOUS reaction, - from this disturbance through the metabolism of the kidneys and liver AND the heart circulation.
In the pancrean forces, as related to the activity of this gland with the organs of assimilation, we find indications of the greater disturbance existing.
Thus the corrective measures as would be taken should be indicated in those directions of creating a better balance, and to prevent the tendencies for the body-increase in weight, with those inclinations for the producing of greater excess of this activity in the body.
In the kidneys as related to the activities through the organs of the pelvis, - these as we find HAVE at times given disturbances; though in the present not so much as heretofore, but is producing greater reactions to the organs of assimilation.
As to the functioning of the organs of the pelvis, - we will find the corrections in the coccyx, lumbar and sacral will relieve those tensions which have existed there, and that have prevented a normal reflex or reaction to the generative or genitive system.
Also these, as combined with those properties which we will indicate to create a balance in the activities of the spleen AND pancreas, will prevent the increasing in the weight and in the disturbances through the pancreas, heart AND liver activity.
First, then, we would give:
Begin with corrective measures osteopathically administered to those areas specifically indicated; coccyx, lumbar axis, sacral, AND coordinating the brachial AND the upper plexus WITH those corrections made through the area. We would have these in series. First we would have the relaxing treatments, by the application of Wet Heat to the lower end of the spinal column. Then, twice a week take such adjustments for some six to eight treatments. Then rest from these at least three weeks. Then take another series of some twelve to fourteen; THESE given about ONCE a week, - ONE a RELAXING treatment, the other a stimulating treatment.
As a corrective measure for those tendencies indicated through the functioning of the assimilating system, we would add the Jerusalem Artichoke to the diet three times each week. Let this be eaten with the meal, you see. Take this regularly; twice it should be cooked, and once raw. The activity of this is for that influence upon the assimilating system.
In the general diet, - keep away from fried foods, or from red meats.
Plenty of fresh vegetables we would use each day.
Not that the body is to refrain from meats if desired, but no red meats - or hog meat.
Doing these, we will find we will bring much nearer to normal reflexes and activities through this body.
Ready for questions.
(Q) What causes the bad pain in the back?
(A) Those reflexes from the activities of the pancreas, as related to the eliminations through the kidneys. It has not reached such a stage that there is any inflammatory condition, but the pressure upon the nervous system.
(Q) What has produced the swelling in the abdomen? Is this of a tumorous nature?
(A) This is the natural reflex, or filling of that lymph AND emunctory circulation, as was first indicated, that arises from the disturbances or tendencies in the direction as we have indicated.
It is only of the lymph and emunctory circulation, which CAUSES puffing or fullness, but not in any form tumorous in its nature - as yet.
Setting up the eliminations, and stimulating the activity of the eliminations through osteopathic corrective measures in the areas indicated; directing the activities of the pancreas, the liver and the kidneys through the corrections as would be received through the taking of the properties indicated in the diet, will prove to relieve these tensions.
Do these things as indicated; we will not only remove the disturbances but PREVENT a great deal of disturbance later, that might arise from these tendencies and inclinations gradually arising in the system.
We are through for the present.

When Jerusalem Artichoke in not on the market, it may be ordered from John A. Salzer Seed Co., LaCrosse, Wisconsin. Only take ONE artichoke at the time - one about the size of a hen egg; but three times a week as indicated in the reading.)
