These, as we find, have to do particularly with the central
nervous system, and pressures as distort or prevent -
dependent upon the cycle of activity - the normal forces as
act in response to the impulse of the imaginative and the
sympathetic nervous system; these pressures, then, being
of specific nature - but do not always produce exactly the
same reactions in the physical functioning of the body; for
at times these function WITH the system as respecting the
activities and impulses of the sensory system. At such
times the sensory organs are accentuated in their activity,
especially that as to that as may be termed the FEELING of
the body. The body, then, SENSING even conditions that to
the normal forces are not apparent to many another. Again we
find repressions in the sympathetic and sensory system. At
such times we find the reactions to the centers as radiate
for the sensory reaction causes distress for throat, for
head, for eyes, for ears, and at such periods there is an
increased reaction from the reflex to the nasal, to the
throat, and then a general debilitation over all the system.
Following such we will find that the digestive system does
not respond as well as during normal periods; rather that of
an incapacitation for digestion, or for food, rather than any
DEFINITE specific disorder. The repressions as we find in
the cerebrospinal system are especially those in the 5th and
6th cervical, and reflexly in the 3rd and 4th dorsal. With
the proper correction of these, and with the mental forces of
the body kept in that attitude of an ideal; not an IDEALIST,
but as of an ideal; we will find the general conditions of
the system will RESPOND, and the whole physical forces and
the mental abilities of the body will expand in their near
normal way and manner - [
4537] we are speaking of.
In these corrections, these we would have made in an
osteopathic manner, naturally attuning the rest of the
system to same.
In the STUDIES, we would find that of Unity would be more in
accord WITH that of the general TREND of the body than other.
These, as we find, will bring the nearer normal condition for
the body. Ready for questions.
(Q) Is this condition in any way a form of epilepsy?
(A) Rather the repressions as exist in the upper dorsal and
the cervical region, that prevents their normal activity to
the brain reactions; and, as is seen, these are most active
when the body NORMALLY rests, see? Not a form even of
epilepsy, for epilepsy comes either from stomach or genitive
system. These are from repressions, and an injury as
received in the 9th and 10th year.
(Q) How often should the manipulations be given?
(A) As is consistent with making a normal correction of the
cerebrospinal system. In the beginning they would be more
often than after treatments had been administered.
Salines will be found to be most beneficial in the food
values. Plenty of salt, or dry salt, at such periods of
contraction.
(Q) Should any other medicine be taken for this condition?
(A) When bromides, or any of hypnotics are given for such
conditions, these are only aiding at the expense of other
portions of the system.
The corrections should be from those pressures in the NERVOUS
system, that NORMALCY may flow through nerve and blood
impulse, see?
Medicinal properties should only be those as keep for a
normal activity of eliminations, but not as sedatives for
the nerve supply.
(Q) Luminal should not be taken at all?
(A) Only in very small doses, until the corrections are
made.
(Q) What is the dosage that should be taken of the Luminal?
(A) In the 3 to 5 grain.
(Q) How long can this be taken without harming the system?
(A) Every dose harms the system! The CORRECTIONS made, we
will find that in three to six WEEKS there will not be the
necessity of taking any!
(Q) Is Luminal habit forming?
(A) Any sedative is habit forming.
(Q) Would you advise the body not to swim or drive a car, or
drink lots of water?
(A) Do not SWIM over much, though wading would be very
good. DO NOT drive a car, until more sure of self. Water,
internally, is HARMFUL in too large a quantity - but an even
balance must be kept; for to have active forces, such as from
any sedative, is detracting from the vitality, and increases
the desire for that which satisfies an appetite.
(Q) Has fast growing had anything to do with this condition?
(A) Not so much as the injury in the 9th and 10th year had
to do.
(Q) What was this injury that produced this pressure?
(A) A fall.
Do as we have given, and we will bring the better conditions
for this body. We are through for the present.
