TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, we find there are specific conditions as cause the suppressions and incoordination through the system, though this may be termed more suppression than of incoordination; for, were the suppressions and the pressure relieved in the system, we would find that the reactions as experienced by the physical in the nerve system would become the near normal in their functioning.
2. These, then, are conditions as we find them: While there may be much said as to the VARIOUS EFFECTS, these will give that as should FIRST be BEGUN in the correcting of the conditions in the system; for the suppressions have to do with those conditions in the head, in throat, and in the glands of the system. In the GLANDS, this the first cause. Then in the repressions produced in the cerebrospinal system, the growth or pressure as IS experienced in soft tissue and deep in the system, is the RESULT of these repressions; showing that, in going about to build up this system to the near NORMAL, or to the normal physical AND mental functioning, we would NOT ONLY begin with the releasing in the system of the functioning OF the various glands that are repressed, but ALSO relieve those pressures as are producing disorders in the nerve system - as is seen in nasal, as is seen in thyroid, as is seen in the LUMBAR regions. These are the centers that are UNDER distress from these repressions. The repression being, then, those in the system that have to do, first, with the glands that supply to the brain forces those of the activity through the sympathetic system. Hence the incoordination. The repression a cause, the incoordination a result. While often we may find, in such conditions, INCOORDINATION the cause and REPRESSIONS of FUNCTIONING being the result. Repression, here, being the cause, and the incoordination the result.
3. In making, then, the applications for these corrections - these, we would find, should be made through those of the corrective measures, osteopathically given, in the activity of the cerebrospinal system, and ESPECIALLY as they relate to the functioning of the organs in pelvis, in digestive system, and as a COORDINATION through the hypogastric and pneumogastric as they cross in the system TO THEIR activities in brain - the repression then being the active force, that of the STIMULATIVE WITH that of the corrective of the cerebrospinal centers would be the treatments. Stimulative first, corrective as conditions progress.
4. We would also REMOVE, AFTER drainage is set up in system by the stimulation, those conditions in nasal and in the throat. These would NOT be done at FIRST, but after drainage is set up in system.
5. We would also USE, to set up the stimulation in the system, those vibrations from the iodine in the wet battery. These being applied to the umbilicus and to the 2nd dorsal. Be sure the attachment is made to the 2nd dorsal first, then to the umbilicus center - to the RIGHT and ABOVE the center itself. These should be given not more than thirty minutes each day, PREFERABLY as the body rests.
6. We would also, for the time being - but gradually diminishing, keep those medicinal properties as have been applied for the corrective measures in the nerve reaction, but gradually reduce these sedatives as the stimuli is given to the system for the proper reactions in the body. Ready for questions.
7. (Q) How long should it take to bring body to normal if advice is followed?
   (A) In six to ten weeks. The changes as will be wrought in system, as is indicated in the first, will necessitate the gradual meeting of the conditions; for, as is seen, EFFECTS as have been created as seen in soft tissue, in nasal passage, as is seen in thyroid - MUST be MET AS the changes are brought about in system. DRAINAGE is the FIRST to be set up. Keep the system cleansed; that is, through the alimentary canal, even though those properties in the Ambrosia weed were given. These will reduce the sugars in the system, and would be well to give the plain Ambrosia weed tea. This would be given, a teaspoonful about once each week.
   As for the diet, beware of sweets or of nuts, and of those of TUBEROUS nature in the vegetables. The others may be taken, but DO NOT OVEREAT at ANY time.
   Plenty of outdoor exercise, in the open - this is well for the body.
8. (Q) Should she associate with other children?
   (A) The associations should be those that are of the nature that bring, not depressions - for that we are overcoming - but that that makes ENLIVENMENT, and the enlivening shall be governed, to be sure.
9. We are through for the present.
