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 give the cause of the existing conditions, also the treatment for the cure and relief of the body.
2. EC: Now we find there are abnormal conditions with this body and these may be corrected. They have to do with specific conditions as exist in the body, and the effect this condition produced in the body.
3. Now these are conditions as we find them in this body. First:
4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, we find this constantly in a strain. Hence the condition as produced in circulation through heart, though not organic trouble in heart, but the unequalized circulation producing abnormal blood pressure. At times above normal, at times subnormal. In the elements and division in blood supply very good, though not correct metabolism in the body.
5. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, we find the greater strain produced, for there are specific conditions in the 2nd lumbar region, produced by lesions of an internal nature. These in turn produced lesions in the 2nd lumbar plexus, that both disturbs the organs of the pelvis and through the reflex in pneumogastric disturbs the circulation through intestinal tract especially. Hence the inclination of the body toward constipation, and when there are properties taken in system to excite the secretions through intestinal tract the responding of the nerve system through this retraction produces much distress to the body, especially in the upper intestinal tract; the seat of trouble being in lack of secretions in the colon. The trouble in the lumbar produced by lesions as caused at time of birth of last child, an the disturbance in the ovarian region being from these same lesions. Hence the distress in headaches, nausea and the repressions as produced in the action in pelvic organs.
6. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF ORGANS PROPER, brain forces very good, yet with the taxation to the sympathetic nerve system, and with the conditions produced from same, the body is often not able to control the mental proclivities of the body.
7. All of the sensory system under strain of the nerve condition, as is whole respiratory system. Hence the inclination of the body at times to have hot and cold sensations. This acts directly through the nerve strain in body.
8. In digestive system we find, with the action of hypogastric centers, sympathetically, the pneumogastric plexus becomes involved. Hence the constant strain on the stomach proper and the tendency for same to be titled. This drains the system, unless the body rests after each meal.
9. In the liver and extra secretion as produced by taxing to the system shows its effect on the organ proper, though not organically as yet deranged.
10. Kidneys show taxation and the hepatic in its circulation through same show the signs of temperature at times.
11. Then, in the organs of pelvis proper, we find the lesions producing these conditions.
12. Then to overcome these, and bring the body to the normal conditions, we would through local applications in pelvic region, or in vagina proper, overcome these conditions, by using medicated packs until the lesions are corrected properly, and through deep manipulation, osteopathically, correct lesions in the lumbar plexus, and the reaction in sacral plexus, taking in the system in the diet those properties that give the proper secretions to the intestinal tract and contract the muscular forces in lower dorsal, that we may balance the stomach in its position.
13. These properties in diet would be those of the nature that bring about the action of the pancreas and the liver, using then much whole wheat and bran, or rough material, as it were, for the diet.
14. We will find with these we will bring the body to the normal conditions. Packs will be necessary to be used for at least six to eight treatments, the manipulation from twelve to sixteen. DEEP manipulation.
15. This will bring the body, [4318] to the normal conditions.
