IN THE NERVE SYSTEMS PROPER, here we find there has existed,
in the cerebro-spinal and the sympathetic system, those
hindrances that have prevented a NOMINAL or NORMAL
development in the physical body; an ABNORMALITY, in that the
IMPULSES as have come to the system has made for an impulsive
force as prevents the body from responding in a normal
manner. Not that of an abnormal MENTAL development, but
an abnormal mental IMPULSE in the physical functioning.
This, as we find, is in both the lumbar and the cervical
coordinating centers, from those of the 2nd and 4th lumbar
plexus, also in those of the 3rd to 5th CERVICAL plexus, and
especially does this show in the SYMPATHETIC reactions to the
body. In the specific condition existent in the present, we
find that through the increasing of the amount of lymph as is
existent, and has existed in the system, this creates those
improper coordinations in burse centers; that is, as from
radial REFLEXES in the LOCOMOTIONS and reflexes in the body.
Hence the condition in digestive system, the condition in
the mental reflexes, as well as regurgitation throughout
the activities of an ASSIMILATING system. This, then, is
a reflex condition, rather than that of a cause; the cause
being in those impulses as outlined.
IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, in brain
forces impulses show how that of incoordination makes for an
abstruse activity in impulse, yet a NORMAL reaction for the
condition - and these may be made normal in their activity.
In the functioning of the organs of the throat, head, and
the SENSORY system - the body, through impulses from those
incoordinations in the cervical region, receives those
conditions as exist through the lymph ducts and glands of the
emunctories through the head, neck, and the ORGANS of same -
as there is irritation shown to all of the SENSORY organisms.
Bronchi and lungs - these are NOMINAL in their functioning;
ABNORMAL with the CHARACTER of that circulation through same.
Heart's action shows the effect of the quick and
temperamental pulsation, and naturally - from the effect of a
disturbance in the central supply - shows a quick pulsation,
but as even pressure.
IN the digestive organs of the body, we find a normalcy
at normal reactions - but with an excess of congestion
produced BY those conditions existent when they have become
accentuated through pressure, from congestion and excitement,
has brought those abnormalities in regurgitation.
Liver, spleen, react in a normal manner when under normal
conditions. Assimilating forces show the effect of the
conditions in the lumbar area. These have existed from
birth, for a PRESSURE was created in the 2nd lumbar which has
made for what would be termed an excessive amount of blood in
the capillary circulation.
In the organs of the hepatic circulation, other than liver,
we find these show an excess - as is indicated in the
characterization in the locomotories of the body; for
the adrenal glands show the effect of the pressure, as do
the GLANDS of the body - as especially indicated by the
inflammation in the burse centers - whether the arms, elbows,
knees, or in any exterior portion of body itself. Hence,
even to the touch at times destroys the equilibrium of the
body's reaction.
In meeting, then, the needs of the conditions of this body
- as we would find, THESE would be that manner in which
NORMALCY may be brought to the body:
There are specific conditions to be met in the present. Then
those that would be of a LONGER duration in bringing about a
normal reaction for the whole physical forces.
In the beginning, we would give those properties as come from
the vibratory forces as would be created by THIS combination:
To 4 ounces of simple syrup, add:
Tincture Valerian...............1/2 ounce,
Elixir Calisaya.................1/2 ounce,
10% solution Bromide Potassium...40 minims,
10% solution Iodide Potassium....10 minims,
Tincture Capsici..................3 minims.
Shake the solution together before the dose is taken. The
dose would be 20 minims every 2 hours until there is, at
least, a nominal or normal rest - without those reactions
as come from same.
Keep the intestinal tract cleansed. PREFERABLY this may be
done with the enemas as will carry an antiseptic. This will
REDUCE the tendency of the nervous reactions in system, and
the quivery and jerky conditions as result from any undue
activity.
We would begin, as soon as the body rests well, with those
of the manipulative measures, osteopathically given, as to
correct those centers through which the ELIMINATIONS, as
drainages, are set up in the system - especially in the
cervical, upper dorsal, and the sacral and lumbar. These, in
their reactions, will bring a nearer normal reaction to the
body.
Then we would change, when the body is in a nearer normal
condition, to that necessary to bring normalcy for the body.
This should require not more than 10 days to bring the body
back to where it was 3 to 4 weeks ago. Ready for questions.
(Q) What is the cause and remedy for the frequent passing of
water?
(A) This produced by that condition existent in the
assimilating forces of the body, and especially as to their
reference with the glands about the kidneys. This NOT of a
nature that is of ORGANIC disorder; a FUNCTIONAL disturbance,
as given - see?
(Q) Is there infection or inflammation of the bladder? If
so, what is the cause and remedy?
(A) No infection, as we find. Inflammation, produced by the
excessive amount of the lymph pressure in system attempting
to be eliminated through these channels. When we have
cleansed the colon, and have had antiseptic reactions through
the intestinal system - and relieved those pressures in
the lumbar and cervical regions - we will find a better
coordination established in eliminations, and drainages and
eliminations set up through their NOMINAL channels - rather
than through the weakened conditions in the impulses to the
organs' functioning - will bring near normalcy.
(Q) How long will it take to get this body back to a normal
condition?
(A) As given, in 10 to 12 days it should be back to WHERE
it was in the condition when the first disturbance began - or
3 to 4 weeks ago. THEN we may give that as will make for a
NORMALCY; this would require some 3 to 6 months, dependent
upon the response and the manner in which the diet and the
impulses are carried out. Do this at the PRESENT, and we
will find the RESPONSES will come.
(Q) How often should osteopathic treatments be given?
(A) These, as we find, would be WELL were a sedentary
character of treatment given every OTHER day, and every other
day a DEEPER manipulation. One that will make the body REST.
Each day, then - see? and every other day one that will make
for CORRECTIVE measures in the cerebro-spinal system; for
- as the nervous system is that greatest involved, with the
lymph and emunctories - the sedentary effect of the gentle
massage over all centers will bring the greater response and
the better rest to the body. That's common sense, see?
(Q) What diet?
(A) Beware of sweets or of meats, but those that are of a
nerve BUILDING are the better for the body. Not that the
pancreas or liver, or kidneys, are in other than a state of
excitement through the lymph carried in their areas.
(Q) Is it necessary for body to be in hospital?
(A) Not NECESSARY; but this would be the better MANNER!
That is all the questions regarding this body.
Do that for the present. Then we may give those further
corrections as the CONDITIONS improve.
We are through for the present.
