(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the body here, [5456]. Now, we find there are conditions that are abnormal for ths body. These are rather of the subtle nature, and unless corrected must - sooner or later - give considerable trouble; for oft, when the disorders manifest themselves, the effects as are created are those treated, rather than the conditions that cause same.
These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [5456] present in this room:
IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, there is seen SUFFICIENT in quantity; in quality, this alters or changes as the CONDITIONS or disturbances are changed, and when the disorders are present - as an acute condition - we will find that the capillary circulation is very low, and only at such times would the physical appearance be such as to indicate disorders - and the body gets little sympathy for the real condition as exists. In such periods, we find at one time there may be a LOW blood pressure, with the hepatic circulation taking on more of the blood and not SUFFICIENT being carried to extremities, or to any exterior portion, and at such times there is coldness and clamminess in the extremities, with dull headaches, pains across the right side, and the disorders producing that heaviness, dullness, bad taste in the mouth. In OTHERS, we will find above normal in pressure, and quite a different alteration in the characterization of the blood supply. The nature of the disorders, as we find, producing same.
IN THE NERVE SYSTEM - This, in part, may be called the seat or the cause of the trouble; yet it is more specific, even than that; rather the pressure IN the nerve system, and especially in the ganglia of the 12th dorsal and the 4th lumbar are the effects in the cerebro-spinal seen; while the SYMPATHETICS, in the region of the solar plexus and in the 5th cervical plexus, show their reflexes. Hence this coldness as appears at the back of the neck, or just above the shoulder blades at times. This is the indication of the deep circulation attempting to adjust itself to the pressures created in the lumbar and lower dorsal region. The sympathetics being in accord, find their reactions in these centers.
IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, at such times, when there are repressions from the disorder, we find the sensory system becomes involved, as does for the ringing in the ear, the tendency to FULLNESS in the throat, and tendency for an inclination to clear the throat, and the fullness of the system as related to the swallowing; yet these are but indications, and not causes.
In the throat, bronchia, lung, larynx - these, within themselves, are very good; only functioning disorder at times.
Heart's action altered, as is seen, by the disturbances.
The digestive system is different. Here we find often those of INDIGESTION, yet the very same foods taken at other periods would digest, and when the body takes foods when tired, or mentally overtaxed, or under excitement, these act VERY different in the system. These, as we find, produced by those disorders in the colon, where we have something of the FORM of prolapsus, though not a TRUE prolapsus; rather the tendency of the intestine in the pyloric descending - or distending of the system - is cause the formations of gas, AND - following same - there is the twisting and the FALLING of the intestine itself. These produce the disorder. These conditions are from that pressure existent in the lumbar, sacral, and especially in the 12th dorsal. The heaviness as occurs at times across the small of the back is not from kidneys, but from this pressure - and the REFLEX, that CAUSES the activity of the kidneys at such time, is the attempt of the system to adjust itself, and to throw OFF poisons as are accumulated by the extra amount of the white blood and leucocyte created, in system attempting to meet the needs of the conditions; for the irritation, or usage of the system in any manner, requires the coagulative forces, and the body proceeds to make that as is necessary to combat conditions, but when these are not in SYMPATHY THROUGH the activities as produced by the pressures, these carry on through OTHER portions, and give the disorders.
In the liver and the hepatic circulation, this we find at times deep, and the hepatic tending to be cold - yet full in its activity; though the liver not active as to excretions to the system.
In the kidneys - these, we find, active at times from that pressure as brought in system.
Then, in meeting the needs, we would - through those of the manipulations, osteopathically given, WITH adjustments attending same at times - REMOVE that pressure as CAUSES this condition IN lumbar, sacral, lower dorsal, and EQUALIZE the pressure throughout the UPPER and the cervical region - upper dorsal and cervical; dilating the colon in such a manner as to relieve, gradually, the pressure as produced there, by the use of the colonic - which should be given at least one each week, until at least THREE are taken - then they may be taken ONCE each month.
We would also change the diet to conform to that as is NECESSARY to create the proper equilibrium in the digestive system - for this alters, as has been given, and at times there is little activity from the salivary glands, and food - even in the nature of the non-acids - enter the stomach with little, or insufficient amount of the lactics to carry on proper digestion. This produced by the taking up OF the juices IN system THROUGH that condition existent in the colon, see? Also we find at times, that foods LEAVE the duodenum in an ACID condition. THIS produces the greater distress about the second or third day after such conditions. This brings the FULLNESS to the intestinal system. The foods, then, would be altered to meet that as would be found by TESTING the salivary reactions; litmus paper, yes - and we would find the body would, in three to five weeks, respond to where the DISTRESSES would not be the reaction in system. Ready for questions.
(Q) Has this anything to do with the improper menstruation?
(A) With the changes as occur in blood supply, this naturally makes for disorders in the eliminating systems. Also the pressure as produced in the lumbar and lower DORSAL makes for the painful and the LACKING of SUFFICIENT discharge through this channel. With the correction of the system, these - of course, would correct THEMSELVES; though there may be NECESSARY, IN the segregation, for specific or local treatment - THIS would come later, see?
(Q) How often should manipulations be given?
(A) At least every OTHER day.
(Q) Did the fall received when a child cause this pressure?
(A) This has the portions to throw DOWN the system - this has MUCH to do with it, in the GRADUAL developings of the system - but, as is seen - or as has been given - is of the deep-SEATED or HIDDEN nature, see?
We are through for the present.
