These arise from conditions that exist in the lower dorsal
areas, or near the 6th, 7th and 8th dorsal. This is the area
where there is the feeling of stiffness and soreness, in the
body if there is long remaining in one position, as in rest,
or if the body gets overheated, or if the body gets cold.
Hence a pressure is produced through the area, with tingling
sensations to the extremities at times, as if the limbs - or
hands and arms - were asleep; or lack of circulation. Then
we also find the pressure is part of the disturbance in the
blood supply and in the nerve system, causing reactions or
irritations in the area between the antrums, or pressures in
those areas that supply the lachrymal ducts and nutriment to
the optic forces or to the eye socket itself. The eyeball
itself, only disturbing sympathetically, but producing an
irritation - as itching or pains through the area when the
use of these causes the cutting off of the circulation.
Remember, as indicated, the supply is in the sympathetic as
well as the cerebrospinal system.
These are the disturbances as we find them with this body.
Then, in making applications for beneficial conditions for
this body, - we would first begin with the osteopathic
adjustments that will set up drainages; not stimulating but
draining the flow of circulation through the alimentary
canal.
We would have at least two or three colonic irrigations,
scientifically given, about eighteen days apart. These will
aid in cleansing the body of those disturbances that cause
the reactions to the sensory system.
The correcting, osteopathically, of those conditions in the
areas from the 9th dorsal to the 1st cervical will remove
those tendencies that are preventing better eliminations
through alimentary canal. Also the pressures should be
relieved in the area of the antrum, by the setting up of
drainages in the 1st, 2nd cervical; not merely by aligning
the cerebrospinal system, but by setting up drainages through
the ducts and glands about the neck, the head and the face.
If proper drainages are set up, it should not be necessary
for operative measures.
Such osteopathic treatments we would take about once or twice
each week.
After the 5th or 6th osteopathic treatment, we would begin
using the Violet Ray (hand machine) for head and neck, face
and eyes. Use the bulb applicator for the head, neck and
face, and the double-eye applicator for the eyes. Use the
eye applicator only thirty seconds. Don't try to give the
treatment with the single-eye applicator but so that both
eyes may be treated at once. Then use the bulb applicator
for half a minute. Do these just before the osteopathic
treatments are given; that is, after the first six
osteopathic treatments have been given begin adding the
Violet Ray treatment.
Do these, and we will bring better conditions for this body;
setting up drainages and stimulating the flow of circulation
to remove and correct the sensory conditions, setting up
better eliminations through the alimentary canal, and thus we
will find much better conditions throughout the body.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Should an eliminant be taken for the constipation?
(A) Preferably use the colonics, about three of these -
eighteen days apart - through the periods that the
adjustments osteopathically are made.
Of course, also watch the diet. Have plenty of raw
vegetables and food such as figs or prunes, raisins and the
like, and we will have better conditions for the body. Do
eat carrots a great deal. These should be scraped or cut
very fine and eaten raw, as in gelatin or in such a way that
the body does not tire of same. At times they may be grated
and eaten with salad dressings if desired, and at times
cooked. These add better circulation especially for the
eyes, face and nasal passages.
(Q) What causes pain in back and side?
(A) As indicated, pressures in those areas that disturb the
alimentary canal, the stomach and the eliminations.
(Q) Can you recommend an osteopath in Toledo that would be
sympathetic in following these suggestions?
(A) As we find, we would have one suggested by Coulter.
(Q) Can you tell us where to obtain a Violet Ray?
(A) The Hamilton Beach Manufacturing Company..
We are through with this Reading.
Two copies to Self - (one for the osteopath)
Copy to Ass'n file
Two Miss Goodall for indexing
(We suggest that you send a copy of your reading to Dr.
George N. Coulter, 18 East 41st St., N.Y.C., and ask him to
recommend an osteopath in Toledo, who will cooperate by
following the suggestions made.
A Violet Ray hand machine might be ordered from the Hamilton
Beach Mfg. Co., Racine, Wisconsin, or from any electrical
supply house; or you might try various beauty parlors.
Sometimes a beauty parlor has this type of machine, which you
might borrow or rent. It is especially hard to get the
Violet Ray now, since the factory has discontinued making
them for the duration.)
BACKGROUND
10/21/43 Remarks: "Eyes feel like they are going to cross,
pulling out of sockets. In morning have to use my fingers to
lift my eyelids. Especially in morning my nose hurts. Had
tooth pulled 2 yrs. ago that was completely rotten, may be
some of it left causing trouble. Whole right side hurts
since about three yrs. ago - like neuritis - at times can't
move in bed. One doctor thought I had glaucoma, but after
making all the tests said it wasn't. They can't find
anything wrong with my eyes - I've had glasses fitted - have
several pairs of glasses but none feel right. I can see, but
right now my eyes feel like needles are sticking in them."
Questions submitted:
1. What causes the condition with my eyes? and how may it be
corrected?
2. What should be done to eliminate pain in back and side?
3. What should be done for constipation?
