TEXT

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions; also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body, and you will answer the questions which I will ask you regarding same.
2. EC: We have the body here, [4585].
3. Now, we find there are those conditions that give distress at times through the physical forces of the body. These in their reaction cause some distress, yet in that which causes or produces same is rather of subtle nature, and needs the attention - for, without some corrections it would be hard for the body-physical to adjust itself so that a perfectly normal reaction would occur in the physical functioning.
4. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body.
5. We find there has been in times back a condition that produced a pressure that causes the inactivity in the full and complete sense of the kidneys. This is found in the last lumbar and in the last dorsal. This the region. The reaction in the system is to produce a slowing up of the functioning of the organ, or organs, yet their activity at times is near normal, but the functioning of the organ is NOT normal, or that that it should eliminate from the system. Hence the reflexes from these conditions are seen in various portions of the body.
6. IN THE BLOOD STREAM there is produced rather a heaviness, and an extra count in the heart's action occurs every fifteen (15) beats.
7. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM irritation is produced in the functioning of the locomotaries, especially toward the lower portion of the body. This producing the swelling as is seen in lower limbs, and a TREMBLING sensation at times in the UPPER portion of body, and this is as of the reflexes, rather than that direct cause of the conditions produced in the eliminating centers in the mesenteric system. The uneven flow in menstrual periods, and these conditions need correction, for - with the continuation of these - the organs themselves will become such an extent disordered as for the condition to become organic, and also of the nature of a chronic condition. Then, with the specifics in this condition, with the acute condition arising, there would be dire results in the physical functioning of the body.
8. In the correction of these conditions, we would first REST (as the body contemplates here), and before the body starts for such rest or recreation, have at least three (3) adjustments made CHIROPRACTICALLY, if done properly. Osteopathically would be better, but would take longer, see? Make the adjustments first, then after returning from such a rest take the osteopathic treatments, see? This will correct the inclination of the functioning of the organs of elimination, especially that in the region of the kidneys and the mesenteric system.
9. Take - while the body is at rest - Saffron Tea every other day, at least once during every other day. Prepare in half an ounce to six ounces of water and let steep, like tea, see? Taking as a draught about two (2) teaspoonsful in half a glass of water. The water may be cool or taken as the body sees fit. Prepare at least every other day, see?
10. We would also use as a poultice, about twice a week, that of stupes of mullein; that is, take the green leaves of mullein - put them in water (warm water) and let them steep or soak for two to two and a half hours. Lay same between thin cloths and lay across the small of the back, or in the region of the kidneys, see?
11. Well that LITHIA tablets be taken by the body, as also keeping intestinal tract clean; that is, not OVER stimulating the excretory system, but rather as the laxative for the whole mesenteric system. This may be done by the diet, or by the taking of those properties that act as a lubricant - such as Usoline, or of that nature. PREFERABLY that with the least amount of paraffin base, and this will be found in Usoline - tablespoonful at least every other day, until the full osteopathic adjustments are made, of at least thirteen (13) treatments.
12. Do that, and we will find the better conditions for the body. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) What causes swelling in the feet, particularly around the left ankle - more noticeably in warm weather?
    (A) Those conditions as have been given respecting the kidneys and the conditions there, and the effect as is produced on the locomotories - hindering circulation, and the extra beat as is seen in the heart, and the forces not returning from the extremities - slowed up circulation, by pressure on the lumbar and sacral region.
14. (Q) What causes blotches on both arms, particularly the left arm, more so on the upper arm and elbow?
    (A) The circulation as is being hindered in the body and non-eliminations - this is the effect as is seen of the slowed up action of the kidney and the uric acid as is assimilated in the system, and the nature of the blood supply causes this in the capillary circulation to become as these conditions in the epidermis or outer portion of the body.
    Take these conditions as have been given apply these in the way as outlined, and we will correct these conditions for this body. Do that.
15. We are through for the present.
