TEXT

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time. You will diagnose the case throughly, giving the cause of the existing conditions, also the treatment for the cure and relief for this body.
2. EC: Now, we find with the physical forces of this body there are some complications with the conditions as are existent in the physical functioning of the organisms of the body. Many of the symptoms have been treated, rather than the conditions as produce or cause the condition. While there are specific conditions and specific effects, many of these come from the complications, as we shall see, in the forces of this body. First:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, in this we find this complication is manifested, even in the effect as is produced, or there are many portions of this body that turn into the fluids of the system, rather than coming through its normal channels, and inflammation is shown directly in the producing or in the effective glands in the system as function from the blood supply. See? That is, in the emunctories and in the lymphatics the greater distresses are shown through the complications, for, as the lymphatic is as of the secretive fluids, and as it takes of its elements from the blood supply in its highest forces or last analysis, we find so much of this coming in various portions of the system as to cause distress, when these form in pockets, or when the attack, as it were, or find lodgement in various portions of the system - as the distress is seen at the present time in the internal organs, about the adrenal gland here - that is, above the kidneys, see? and this causes this distress through this portion of the system, while the direct cause or seat of that producing this condition is in the ganglions above this portion, or those of the 10th and 9th dorsal. Reflexly, this produces then this condition, and irritation to the mesenteric system only adds fire or fuel to the condition, rather than correcting same, causing same to be diffused through various portions of the system.
4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, with this deflection, and with this subluxation, we find there are many centers, there are many portions of the body, where soreness comes, that is of a reflex nature - keeps coming to the form of that condition of swelling in various portions that produce an over taxation and a depletion of nerve energy, such as is seen in the upper portion of the pulmonaries, or the distress as is caused from that congestion as was produced in times back in the lungs, through cold. Now with this diffusion of the blood, and of the lymphatics, this we find gives a distress. This is not an organic condition, but a functional, produced by irritation of subluxated nerve reaction and of the poor eliminations through the system.
5. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS, as may be well seen, all of these are under distress from this condition, varying in the effects of each as the varying effects of the condition through the cycle of the functioning of the organ - that is, there are times when (this as an illustration, rather than existent condition, though this has existed in the body lately - in the digestive system) there is any condition that produces indigestion, whether of the stomach or of the intestinal system, and an over supply of this secretion goes to this portion of the body, then the distress comes, with swelling, through the various portions of abdomen, through the lower portion of body, then extending to the lower extremities, to the upper portion of body; thus the ache comes above the diaphragm and its forces. This gives the distress to this upper portion, and the torpidity of the liver being increased by this condition causes distress throughout.
6. Now, to overcome or to meet these various conditions in the body, first we must meet that condition in the mesenteric system - that is, for the condition existent at the present moment and time. Meet that in the mesenteric system by those properties in the system that will allay first the inflammation, which will be found in properties such as this:
7. A mild camomile and saffron tea combined, see? Proportion about one to twenty (1 to 20) of each and this combined, and then mix with water and cooled. This, as we find, will reduce inflammation throughout the mesenteric system.
8. Packs of damp (not ice cloths, but of damp cool cloths) along the whole of the cerebrospinal system, and especially along that of the 9th and 10th and 11th dorsal, and across the abdomen, from the region of the traverse colon. This, as we find, will reduce the inflammation - not RELIEVING but REDUCING same, by the change in eliminations produced by same.
9. Then, as this is reduced, and as this is used, combine these with the manipulation, osteopathically given, for the reduction of temperature through the mesenteric system. Not sufficient kneading of the intestines as to cause rupture in any way or manner, but a gentle massage, that the diffusion of the incentive forces from centers comes over the system, and not so centralized in various portions where irritation is shown, see? This will gradually, with the properties in system, move the bowels in the NORMAL way and manner, with the foods, keeping in such as those of the junket, of the elm water, of all of those properties that go to cleanse system, and soothe same. Small quantities of Magnesia, or Milk of Magnesia, may be given while this is being applied too. Not any of the heavy foods. Broths or any strengthening foods are good for the system.
10. When this has been reduced then more THOROUGHLY, treat osteopathically that condition along the cerebro-spinal system until this is reduced entirely, see? and then gradually build the body, through the application of the diet and of the general system, to the normal forces.
11. Applying later on (as after thirty to thirty-five days) those vibrations of the Violet Ray over the system to equalize the whole body, see?
12. After this has been used for some time, we would apply those forces in the Radium Appliance to the system. This then will produce the correct metabolism and katabolism in the system, see? One is diffusion of forces, the other the elimination in forces, see?
13. Do that. We will find we will bring the normal forces to this body, if these are applied consistently and persistently.
14. We are through for the present.
