TEXT

1. 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; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [3407].
3. As we find, there are many good conditions through this body. However, there are those that disturb the better equilibrium. But if these corrections will be made, many of those that are minor - or even aggravating conditions in the present would be eliminated.
4. These are conditions as we find them with this body, [3407].
5. The blood supply indicates that there is incoordination between liver and kidneys as related to eliminations; and these bring about irritations in parts of the body, disturbances at times with eyes, ringing in the ears; certain characters of foods are aggravating to the disturbance - as any form of acid, such as tannic acid or any of the gum-producing foods; as certain characters of peaches, plums or apples, or chocolate, coffee or tea.
6. However, this disturbance arises from a subluxation that exists in the 9th and 10th and 7th dorsal centers. We will find much better conditions for this body if corrections are made osteopathically, and if stimulations are given to produce better eliminations. These should be done by stimulating activities in the lower cervicals and upper dorsals for better emptying of the stomach and duodenum and the activities as would be corrected through these. We find that these will eliminate this acidity in the stomach that comes at times, or the tendency at times for foods to ferment. For these subluxations arise from conditions that have gradually arisen from disturbances at child birth.
7. Do these.
8. We would have one such as Irvin make these corrections. These should be done from the 1st cervical, the 1st coccyx area. These should be stimulating treatments, with corrections made in the 9th, 10th and 8th dorsals. Don't attempt to make corrections until at least five to six general treatments have been given, and then have at least three to four treatments to make corrections gradually - not all at once.
9. (Q) What suggestions can be given as to diet?
   (A) Those things in the beginning that do not carry the disturbing conditions to the body as indicated are the better. Nothing that carries the oils or gums in same as indicated.
10. (Q) What can be done to relieve distress at base of brain?
    (A) When we relieve this distress in the 10th and 9th dorsal, we will relieve that. But all treatments are to commence from the 1st cervical - that's at the base of the brain; but begin such a treatment at the 1st, 2nd and 3rd dorsal and 3rd cervical, all of these should be the main areas treated during the first few treatments. Then commence with the lower dorsals and then the lumbar and sacral, and after five to six treatments have been given gradually correct the 9th and 10th dorsals. These should be stimulating, but not too heavy treatments.
11. (Q) Would it be well to have a baby at this time?
    (A) Wouldn't be well at all with the present conditions, for this would be very hard on self as well as on baby in regard to the condition of the kidneys.
12. (Q) If not, when might it be well?
    (A) This depends upon the corrections and how well these are made.
13. We are through with this reading.
