TEXT

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 suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions as I ask them.
EC: Yes, we have the body here. As we find, there are disturbing conditions and yet these have been misunderstood for some time. There has been produced most of the heart disturbance by the application made, rather than by the conditions which have existed.
There is in the 6th dorsal a subluxation on the left side. This has been caused distresses in the back, as well as in the front a repression, or the effect with the moving of the shoulder blade or the activities in the arm, in the shoulder, through the heart areas. These are not of such a great amount but sufficient to impinge nerves, and these are in those areas where, with the application, it upsets the digestion.
This causes the lower limbs at times to become aggravated into activity, which causes a quickening, jerking.
There would be first the gradual correction; not attempt to do this all at once, for there should be at least some six or eight treatments before there is the attempt to make the complete correction osteopathically. Then make the adjustment and give some several treatments, five or six more, rest a period and then in a week to ten days, begin again. This time as the treatments are begun use the short wave, not the diathermy, but the radio-active. This should give to the body-forces is the incentive for better activity. We should thus relieve these tensions in the body.
In the diet do strengthen the body with vitamin E and the B and B-1 complex. Not so much in the supplement of the vitamins but using the foods which are rich in the E, as well as B and B-1.
Do keep in the open oft, and we will bring better conditions for the body.
Ready for questions.
(Q) What about the lower glands?
(A) Let's correct these which are causing these disturbances here and we will find the body will respond to the lower portion of the activities through the body. There are to be stimulations of the centers along the spine, as well as making this specific correction in the areas of the upper cervical and to the 3rd, 4th, 5th, cervical, 9th dorsal and throughout the lumbar areas. But corrections are to be made at the 6th dorsal and we will relieve these tensions through the left area of the lung and heart and correct digestive force.
(Q) Should these be done osteopathically?
(A) These should be done osteopathically, as has been indicated.
We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

2/05/44 Letter from wife: "He has been suffering from pain in the region covering the left side of chest for 6 or 7 yrs. Has been to several doctors, has been treated for heart trouble - at that time I thought I would lose him from the strong medicine they gave him. At the present time he is taking electric treatments, which are supposed to be for the stomach. He has a terrible time to get any food to agree with him. Tries this diet and that but seems upset all the time. I have put my ear down to the left where the heart seems to be and there seems to be a queer gurgling in that area." 1. Please advise especially regarding heart, stomach and lower glands. 2. Would change of climate be advisable? 3. What is the pain over left side of heart area, sometimes lasting for days, in certain kinds of work where stretching is necessary?
