TEXT

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, [2424].
Now as we find, there are disturbing conditions that prevent the better normal functioning. From the very nature of the disturbances, there may appear to be a great deal of trouble. This, because of the very nature and source of the disorder, has brought disturbing factors at various times to many portions of the functioning system.
But with the correction of the causes, we will find that most of these will disappear; and the body will gradually return to a near normal physical functioning.
The sources of the disturbance, as we find, are primarily of a glandular nature. Hence the unbalancing of the metabolism of the system; at times the apparent disorder in the blood pressure, blood flow, and the organs themselves - as in the respiratory system AND the assimilating system, as well as organs of the sensory forces have functioned and do function under distresses.
These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [2424] we are speaking of, present in this room:
The blood supply indicates those disturbances of the nature in which there is the involvement at times of poor assimilation, at others poor distribution of that assimilated; nervous reactions that bring about conditions in which anxieties are created in the activity of organs, - as the respiratory system, the activities through the sensory system. The vision at times becomes disturbing, the hearing at others, the activities of the kidneys and at others the digestive forces and the liver activity.
As we find, SOURCES then are in the glandular system and reflected in the activity of the organs of the body; as well as specific lesions that have been formed in the cerebro-spinal system from the activities which have been brought about between the nervous systems of the body.
Hence the needs that preparations be made for the corrective measures to be brought about, through the application of influences to create first a cleansing of the glands as related to their activity.
Begin first, then, to take one minim (drop) of Atomidine in half a glass of water each morning, before any meal is taken. Take it in this manner each day for five days.
Then begin with two minims each day for five days.
Leave off then, entirely.
And begin to take at each meal, while the meal is being eaten, five drops of Elixir of Lactated Pepsin stirred in a little water. This is to change the activity of the assimilations through the digestive system.
Every fifth day, while the Pepsin is being taken, you see, take also a teaspoonful of Milk of Bismuth stirred in a full glass of water; this preferably taken of morning.
After this has been taken, then on the next day - that is, the sixth day, - begin with adjustments, osteopathically administered; especially in those centers of the brachial plexus for the respiratory system, the bronchi, the larynx; and the head and neck as for the flow to and from the organs of the sensory system, - the eyes, the ears, the nose and the facial forces; that drainages will be set up.
We would administer some sixteen such adjustments; and we would recommend Richardson. Do not begin these, however, until the system has been first cleansed in the manner indicated.
During the period that the osteopathic treatments are taken, we would also take each day a small quantity of Milk of Magnesia, - say a teaspoonful to two teaspoonsful. This is to produce better alkalinity, with better eliminations.
Then as to the diet.
DO NOT eat hog meat of ANY kind, save a little crisp breakfast bacon if so desired.
Have plenty of citrus fruits at ALL times, but do not eat cereals - either dried or cooked - at the same meal when citrus fruit is taken.
Beware of much potatoes, or too much fats of any kind.
Use rather fish, fowl and lamb as the meats, but never ANY of these fried; rather roasted, boiled, broiled, baked or the like - these should be the manners of preparation.
Have plenty of leafy vegetables rather than the dried. Tomatoes should be especially taken, but raw rather than cooked; that is, those canned and eaten just as they are when taken from the can are preferable, in most cases, to those that are shipped or fresh.
Plenty of lettuce and celery.
No apples save cooked; these may be prepared in sauce, or roasted, baked or the like.
As we find, if these are adhered to - consistently, persistently - they will bring near to normal forces of this body.
Do EACH of these in the ORDER indicated. For, each has its place. To be sure, first the Atomidine will at times cause the headaches to appear more severe (that have been a part of the disturbance), more of the burning at times of eyes, and the fullness; but hold to the manner of administration as indicated, and we will find these will bring the better forces.
The periods for the digestive forces being changed with the properties indicated are necessary also, as the purifying of the glandular forces, BEFORE the adjustments are made. For, all will then work together for corrective forces for the body.
We are through for the present. [See 2424-1, Par R1.]

Remarks after Rdg. [2424-1]; feels it covered the condition rather thoroughly; it is what the doctors call asthma, tho he has it most of the time, especially when taking the least cold; glands in throat swell and face, breathing difficult, eyes burn, face feels swollen and sore, etc.
4/15/41 He referred Mrs. [2479] for a Physical Rdg.

(We will appreciate it if you will include a technical analysis of your findings.)
5/09/63 GD's note: Mr. [2424] lived to be 71 years of age.
1/29/70 His daughter visited A.R.E. to read Mr. [2424]'s rdg., saying that her son also has asthma and she thought perhaps the same tr. suggested for her father might help him.
