Now, the conditions as we find existent with this body may be
termed psycho-diathetic; that is, while there are many
complications and many varying conditions arise in the
physical functioning of the body, the seat or cause is from a
condition existent wherein there is such dilution in the
blood as to prevent the replenishing of same, and preventing
of same from carrying out its double functioning through the
organs of the system - produced by an injury received to the
physical body just above the portion of system where the
chyle is carried into the ducts from which the blood is taken
as new blood back to the system. We have a form of lesion
there that prevents the nerve energy from the system carrying
out its action in a normal manner. The physical attempt is
carried in a portion of the impulse, especially, of the
system to reproduce itself through the functioning of the
various organs. These not being deficient, except having
GROWN so by the inactivity of the system to produce that
necessary for the resuscitation from the blood stream,
produces what may be termed, then, a psycho condition, or a
psychological condition; that is, the impulse from the
internal system - through the lesion formed - affecting the
hypogastric and pneumogastric plexus at the lower end of the
stomach, produces then regurgitation and the reaction of the
pancrean action in the system - causing, then, this condition
as is seen. Hence we have debilitation throughout the body.
Tendency to swell in portions where blood is unable to come
back to its normal flow, or once in a portion of the body, in
other portions we find the appearance as of anaemitized
condition, in others again it presents as the plethora
condition. The repulses - as is seen in the lungs at times -
bad. The throat dry, and tendency to appear as if irritation
along the bronchials. The effect to the sensory system is
very marked, as may be seen from the effect of a psycho
condition produced to the sympathetic system in any form, or
in any place, yet in this particular place we find comes the
appearance of nausea, dizziness, tired easy, deflection in
the kidneys - as ALL conditions may be seen from the effect
of a disturbance of the nature in this portion of the body.
Now, to meet the needs of these conditions, and to bring the
near normal forces for the body - and by care and by
attention, and by persistency, by consistency through the
diet, through the action of the body as respecting itself,
through those conditions as may be administered for the
bringing about of normal forces for the body - this may be
eliminated, or it may be changed so that much better
condition would exist throughout the body. Not that the body
is entirely inactive, either physically or mentally; yet
these constant drains on the system - without the ability to
resuscitate - must eventually bring such disturbance, not
only functionally but organically, as to be hard to combat
with. Do not think that the condition is easy to meet -
though this, taken NOW, may be brought nearer to normal
through the proper handling of same.
Here we find, just below the point of the hip and near the
end of the liver, the appearance of a hard cake-like
condition - externally speaking. This is the indication as
will be seen. No operation would relieve the condition, for
in the first place the blood supply nor the nerve system
would stand for same, under the existing condition - for
coagulation is way below normal within the physical forces of
the body, [
4605] we are speaking of.
The condition then to be met, first we would apply those
properties of as hot application of Castor Oil to this side
as the body can well stand. While this will produce some
distress in the hepatic circulation, and an over abundant
activity in the kidneys, this should be kept up (evenings
principally), so that the condition may be given impulse from
the vibration created by absorption and heat to that portion
of the body. Let the acid from same be active below the
pancrean reaction, or without going through the intestinal or
through the stomach tract and hindering those disturbances
already produced in the gastric juices of the stomach proper.
Then those centers from which radiate the impulse to this
portion of the system - those of the 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th
dorsal - particularly these, need attention through the deep
manipulation, osteopathically given, that again the central
cerebro-spinal nervous system may radiate that impulse as is
already in part to the system in an increased way and manner.
As for the diet, let that be principally of that as almost
pre-digested foods - though as much of raw vegetables as may
be well taken, carrying plenty of iron and of salts; such as
carrots, celery, lettuce, asparagus very little - but this
has a diarrhetic that is good for the system. This, of
course, cooked (the asparagus), and let no stimulants of any
character - either tea or coffee - be taken, for these would
be hard on this portion of the body.
After at least thirteen (13) such adjustments and at least
fifteen (15) such applications, we will find different
conditions existent entirely with the system. Then there
will be the necessity of taking into consideration the action
of the lower end of stomach and of the liver and the hepatic
circulation, in ELIMINATING from the system so much of the
used forces that must be assimilated and thrown out through
their regular channels; for unless these are considered we
may overtax one of the eliminating centers to the destruction
or to the harm of another, producing a condition either in
kidney, liver or the capillary circulation that would again
be hard to deal with. Hence this must be carried principally
through the alimentary canal. Not by the ordinary means of
cathartics, but rather that of stimulation through the added
force of electrical vibration, with the alternated of the
water supply to the system, externally and internally.
These, however, would best be given when these first
applications have been carried out. Do that.
Nausea as may be produced, as given - and headaches - do not
take sedatives so much, though soda - plain bicarbonate of
soda - may be taken in small quantities for same, PROVIDED
the foods taken carry sufficient iron and salt and salts, or
vegetable and fruit salts. Do not eat apples. Other fruits
may be taken in moderation - especially tomatoes.
We are through for the present.
