IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, OR SYSTEMS, do WE find the basis or
the elemental cause of the disorder. In the 8th and 9th
(sympathetically, 6th and 10th) dorsal area do we find those
lesions of the nature that have affected, do affect, the
functioning of the spleen and the pancreas. Hence with an
over amount of stimuli in the nature of carbohydrates, or of
that in any nature that produces an excess of the alcoholic
effect upon a digestive system, do we have these lapses of
activity of the system in reducing the sugars, and of
producing the proper amount of those elements IN the blood
supply to eliminate the poisons. An excess of hyperglycemia,
then, is a result in the system from this continued pressure,
and from those periods of excesses of those within the system
either in the form of the carbohydrates or proteins in some
form, or the excesses of that producing alcohol in the system
as to make for slow activity upon that taken as food within
the duodenum proper, and the activity of the pancreas juices
or fluids UPON that to be assimilated. An excess then arises
in the lacteal glands, and the urea and the inflammation of
such produce those engorgements in the hepatics and the
kidneys, producing an excess of urine - with those of sugar
in same, those of casts, and heaviness in the activity. This
produces CORRESPONDING effect upon the circulation to the
brain and throughout the SYMPATHETIC system that of nerve
exhaustion. At times there would later come this more
excessive, but apparent in the present of a heaviness in the
lower lumbar regions - as if the whole system were bearing
down a bit, and the feet, ankles, lower limbs, become heavy,
especially with long on the feet - when some swelling shows
in ankles and feet, or a fullness there, at least. Soreness
along some portions of the muscles on the inner side of lower
limbs and groin, and an unusual tendency for the appetite in
those directions that cause more excesses in system.
The effects are apparent upon the whole ORGANISM, while the
body suffers (when suffering at all) more from inertia, or
nervousness and irritation, than from particular pain -
except from the worry of the general feelings in system.
In meeting the needs of the conditions, as WE find - here
is an interesting condition, where that the combination of
schools or practices would be the most beneficial to the
body, where there may be combined those of specialists'
efforts in eradicating these these conditions from the
system. That known as osteopathic adjustments AND
manipulations, combined WITH MEDICATION that will ASSIST in
relieving the activities of organs already affected by the
excess impulse given in the regions that affect these organs
involved; not only by the pressure produced in that
particular area, but from the excesses of those elements
created in system BY the pressure, affecting the organs
that show irritation.
The activities of food values must also be seriously
considered, and the amount of rest and the amount of
activities must be taken into consideration.
With these, as we find, being considered together, this
PARTICULAR case here - as we find - may be relieved entirely;
while either ONE alone MIGHT NOT! and, as we find with the
existent conditions, WOULD not relieve the condition wholly!
but would be rather a temporary relief, with the tendencies
and inclinations still existent, either in those regions from
which the pressure EMANATES that HAS produced this condition,
or the excess of impulse and irritations in the organs
already affected - see?
We would change as to that where these treatments might be
combined in the manner as to relieve the system, in a way as
to eradicate both the pressure and the impulses in the
disorders of ORGANS being affected by that produced from the
pressure.
Then: Correct osteopathically those pressures that exist
in the dorsal region, as indicated. Rest considerable
physically.
We would take internally that as would be combined either
from THIS, or that may be made from the extracts of pancrean
juices and from duodenum juices - that may be taken
internally; or, preferably, as we find, this:
Put 6 ounces of clary flower in 16 ounces of distilled water.
Reduce by slow boiling, or simmering, with a glass or enamel
cover over same, to 1/2 the quantity. Strain, and while
STILL warm add:
Ambergris (dissolved in 1 ounce of
pure grain alcohol).............15 grains,
Oil of Juniper............................1/2 dram,
Alcohol (85% solution)......................1 ounce,
Cinnamon (preferably in the stick)..........1 dram.
Cut or shake well before the dose is taken. The dose would
be a teaspoonful 20 to 30 minutes before the meals are taken.
Beware of any carbohydrates. Preferably this as an outline:
Those that are not stimulating to the lacteals, or that are
excessive in sugars or too high in proteins.
We would have at least two treatments osteopathically each
week, ONE of these being an ADJUSTMENT treatment followed
with a general manipulation - the other rather the massage
over the whole system, KEEPING the coordination of nerve
impulses from the ganglia in this area of the cerebro-spinal
with the cerebro-spinal ganglia in the locomotary areas and
the sympathetic areas.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Would you recommend the use of insulin in this case?
(A) As we find, as has been given, the better procedure
would be the combination of the correction of impulses from
pressure and the effect OF the impulse BY the creating of
disorders in the gastric forces of the system, and in the
blood supply, and its effect UPON organs themselves.
Insulin, as we find, does not cure, is not a preventative -
but does relieve, and does act as an assimilant in many
disorders of the nature of this disturbance in advanced
stages. Under the PRESENT condition, and the stage of the
disorder with this body, that as given would be the better -
or the manipulative forces, with those preparations by such
dispensaries that make the combination compound FROM pancrean
juices and duodenum juices.
We are through.

REPORTS
1/29/32 Mr. [
437]'s letter: "My wife [
1315] just phoned me
that the readings on her sister [
3722] and the little [
5448]
girl came in this morning and I want to express my thanks
and tell you that, from what I gathered over the phone the
readings are miraculous."
2/02/32 Mr. [
437]'s letter: "I want to say here that all of
the readings that I have seen to date have been marvelous.
I will say also that it is not always possible to have people
follow suggestions. In the case of my sister, Mrs. [
3722],
her doctors advise very strongly against the use of any
medicine that contains alcohol. According to their
contention, the introduction of alcohol into the system, in
any form, would be highly dangerous to her in her present
condition and I explained that the alcohol was necessary in
order to dissolve the ambergris and that I felt certain that
some of the other ingredients no doubt would counteract the
effects of the grain alcohol. I was unable to convince them
and, for the time being, she will proceed with the
osteopathic treatments and take whatever medication they have
been giving her, which so far has given a very satisfactory
result."
2/09/32 EC's letter to Mr. [
437]: "Yes, we occasionally have
the experience of doctors disagreeing with some of the
formulas for conditions. We have had this same objection
raised in other cases, somewhat similar to Mrs. [
3722]'s. I
recall just now at least three. I am sending to you a report
of one such case. While this man has not gotten entirely
well, [
953] he commenced rather at a late day - as you can
see from this letter. [
12/17/23] He was given practically
(though not indentically) the same treatment as suggested for
Mrs. [
3722], that containing the alcohol. His doctors at
that time told him if he took this he wouldn't live a month.
I have heard him say quite often that the other cases these
specialists were treating at the same time (for the same
disorder) are none living except him."
