EC: We have the body here. These conditions, as we find,
have to do with disturbances in the vegetative nerve system,
so that the gastric juices of the stomach itself - and that
through the intestinal tract - so act upon that of the lymph
and capillary circulation as to produce that of the eruptive
forces through the eliminations being attempted to be
carried there, rather than the coordination in the vegetative
system as to produce proper peristaltic movement through the
intestinal system; and hence we find conditions in PORTIONS
of the intestinal tract that must eventually produce either
those of holes, or as it is in the present - improper
absorption into the system of poisons, which will eventually
bring those of the peritonitis, or of those of such a nature
that will be destructive to the system. These conditions,
as we find, are from TWO causes. In the beginning, we find
in times back there were those conditions as made for the
improper activity in system through assimilations. With the
properties as were taken - in medicinal manners - as would
aid in assimilation, this partook of those conditions as form
the walls of intestines in such a manner as to make for less
of those of the serums, or of the juices in system which
act as cushions for the activity of foods through intestinal
tract. Then, with the activities in the system - where, in
the stomach proper, those forces as make for those of an over
acidity in system - brings the activity of the blood supply
with the lymph of the body in such a nature and manner as
to make for the absorptions, as have - and do in a manner
exist in the system, producing a weakness in the vitality, a
thinning of the blood supply, a high pulsation, an abnormal
pressure in the heart's action - though not an ORGANIC
disorder; functional, produced by the conditions
existent in the WHOLE of the system.
Then, in meeting the needs of these conditions, we will
find that there must be some rest first for the DIGESTIVE
system, so that the gastric juices of stomach, duodenum and
alimentary canal, may gain an equilibrium sufficient to build
for a basis of proper recuperation in the system.
During such a period of rest - PHYSICAL rest, MENTAL rest
- the food values should be those - in the water as taken,
principally of elm - in small quantities - and of saffron and
camomile. These may be made into teas, in weakened solution
- one to twenty - and drunk as the waters for the body. In
food values, these should be those that are of the nature
that is easily assimilated, such as would be in dried milk,
raw eggs with milk - but not taking the white with same.
Small QUANTITIES of spirits frumenti may be made with these,
but this quantity must be reduced in the system - else we
are to add to those conditions as exist in the colon itself,
especially as to the activities same produce upon the kidneys
and the bladder itself. In these changes, then, we will find
that two teaspoonsful, or a tablespoonful may be taken in the
milk and egg. Those of the diet as is of an ALKALIN nature
may be gradually added in two or three days after this
rest is begun. Then we would, as we begin first, in the
beginning, EMPTY or irrigate the whole of the colon, so that
the fermentations as have existed there will be eased. Not
so much as to produce stretching, nor a ballooning in any
portion of the intestinal tract, but most must be builded to
those of the serums or juices as act in the building up and
STRENGTHENING of the duodenum and the jejunum, especially.
In the caecum end, this will necessarily need manipulations,
that the DISTRIBUTIONS of the system will not irritate the
capillary circulation more than necessary.
For the abrasions, in the beginning, as occur - or the rash
as comes from those of the effects created in the vegetative
system - we will apply those of sulphur and lard. These will
be made in the proportions as will be active in that they may
be rubbed thoroughly into the cuticle itself.
We will find, will these be carried out, that the body
will replenish, rebuild, and in a few WEEKS be on the road
to ELIMINATING those distresses that have caused so long
the disorders in the system, [
5434]. Do that. Ready for
questions.
(Q) Is there an ulcerated stomach?
(A) Rather that of a pitted, or an eruption in duodenum
and intestines; NOT ulcerations in stomach. An ACIDITY in
stomach, that is more in the form of a rash within. It is
the VEGETATIVE system that's greatest in distress. That's
the nerves to the intestinal tract proper becoming inflamed
by the drawing off from same all of the circulation, or in a
great manner the circulation from that portion of system.
Hence, as the circulation acts through the lymph and the
exterior or capillary circulation, it draws or brings poisons
to the center as eruptions in the exterior portions of the
system, in extremities especially - for the circulation
becomes lessened there. High hepatic circulation, low or
torpidity in liver, excess of uric acids, and such in the
system. Will those conditions as we have given be followed,
we will find corrective measures may be brought, - will these
be disregarded, or only those of a palliative nature given,
acting as sedatives in the system, these must eventually
bring eruptions that will be ulcerations, lacerations, or
PUNCTURES - as is the outcome of same, by the thinning of
the walls of the stomach and the intestines.
(Q) Is there any sinus trouble?
(A) This is rather the lack of circulation, by so much blood
supply being taken up in the lymph and the serums of system,
that makes for a dryness - and is more of a catarrh than of
sinus trouble. Dry catarrhal condition.
(Q) Should there be any local treatment for this?
(A) Not in the beginning. These will be necessary when -
but let's begin at the BASIS of the conditions, for those
properties as will be found in that as will be given rather
as in the change in the serums in the stomach itself, in
that of the elm, saffron, and of the other properties, will
bring those of more of the active forces as to build for
resistance. With the manipulations for the accentuated, or
the extension of the capillary circulation, the soft tissue
in head, neck and face, will have its treatment through
manipulations in the beginning. Then, when the conditions
become such as are localized, and the general system is
building up, we may meet those of LOCAL conditions. A
GENERAL is the better in the beginning with this condition.
(Q) How often should manipulations be given?
(A) In the beginning they should be at least every other
day.
(Q) How often may the sulphur and lard be applied to the
abrasions?
(A) When they produce such a great amount of irritation, as
to become so as they are IRRITATING. This may be necessary
several times during the day, as we BEGIN gradually will this
be farther and farther apart. Not a great amount - only that
that may be rubbed thoroughly in, but don't get out in the
rain or get the feet wet while these are being applied, for
these will act quickly with the blood supply. Sulphur is
needed in the blood, as is also iodine. We are through for
the present.

REPORTS
GD's note: From others who knew of Mr. [
5434] I understood
that he obtained osteopathic treatments from Dr. Lydic and
later Dr. Gena Crews. Test mailings indicated that he was in
a Veterans' Hospital in May 1953, and that in May 1957 he had
become deceased.
