TEXT

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the condition you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here.
3. Now, we find there are those conditions existent that may be assisted towards that of bringing about a more apt and more direct assistance toward the functioning properly of the organs of the system. The troubles have to do with some specific conditions existent, and the results or the effects of these conditions, as have their results in the functioning of the various organs.
4. These, then, are conditions as we find them with this body, [4154] we are speaking of. First:
5. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find lacking in vitality, and in the ability to meet the needs of the system. Lack of red blood and of stamen [stamina], or of the proper elements to give sufficient vitims or vitality to the body. Hence the inertia, or inability or capacity of the body to exert self in a normal way and manner. This condition as seen is a gradual outgrowth of existent conditions in the system, thus producing or adding to that as caused in the blood supply. This, then, is the basis or the seat of the troubles, and why those things added to the system, that should build or supply to the body proper replenishing forces for the body, do not respond ordinarily to those conditions or things administered.
6. Then, we find in the nerve system the seat or basis of the troubles. First there is seen in the lower portion of the dorsal region that which in times back caused trouble in the pelvic organs. Then we have reflexes along the cerebrospinal centers, radiating through the sympathetic system, those that prevent the stomach from functioning nominally, and the organ itself not PROPERLY set, or adjusted, by the continual drain on the system of the vital forces, or it is lowered improperly. Hence indigestion and poor assimilation, head aches occasionally, were in times back (not so of late - not so much at present) the resultant conditions from these. As the body, then, suffered from these conditions, that of lack of vitality, insufficient of the red blood, the overcharges of white, and the inactivity, resultant from these conditions - a gradual builded condition; yet there have been those conditions existent that came as conditions magnified, that added TO the condition already existent. Hence we have, then, to meet conditions as they exist, and begin from that point where we may add that vital force necessary to replenish and rebuild properly throughout the system those of proper coordinating forces that will give a basis for rebuilding and replenishing of the forces in the body - see?
7. Now, to meet the needs of the conditions, first we must have that of the proper vibratory forces set up in the system. Through this we will be able to add those properties in the diet, as well as in medicinal, that will aid in bringing nominal conditions for the body.
8. First, then, we would begin by adding those vibrations as are found in the ordinary, or plain, Radio Active Appliance. Change or alternate, evenings, the right and left wrist, in the action of the secondary or the positive anode - see? and use same for at least one hour each evening as the body is ready to retire.
9. Begin also with the gentle massage over the whole body, osteopathically, that - as the vibratory forces are set up - there may be the proper connections through the centers along the cerebrospinal system, and proper reaction through same. Use that of an appliance that will support the stomach proper, or fit same with a support for this organ - see? and wear this whenever the body attempts to move about at any length of time.
10. Also take only this at first for medicinal properties - those as are found in Wyeth's Iron, Beef and Wine - this as a tonic for the body. Eat PLENTY of meat juices, especially of beef juice. This should not be taken with the flesh, but prepared alone, see? Keep plenty of those of the green vegetables; beans, lentils, asparagus, celery, spinach, and such for the body - as much as the body WILL assimilate, but keep the intestinal tract open, so that after assimilation there may not be re-infection for the system from non-expulsion of feces from the system.
11. Follow these directions out for at least thirty to sixty days. Then we would change for the further or full corrections.
12. The osteopathic adjustments should not begin until the body has had at least fifteen to sixteen thorough gentle massages, and the vibratory forces set up for that long. MASSAGE should be given EACH DAY, and when adjustments begin may be made every OTHER day, with the full treatment with same. Do that for the present. Ready for questions. (After pause) We are through for the present.
