In the conditions then, as we find with this body, [
5574] we
are speaking of, there are existent those of lesions in the
cerebro-spinal system that may be termed the cause of the
disturbance, primarily. These conditions exist in the upper
dorsal and in the sacral and coccyx region. The effects
as are produced are such disturbances to the metabolism of
the system as to cause catarrhal congestion in the system,
in such a manner as the mucus membranes of the head are
affected. Such conditions as are seen in nasal cavity, or
passages, and the closing of same by thickening tissue is
a result, as is the condition in the pressure produced in
lachrymal ducts and the inflammation occurring at times to
the eyelids, soreness in eyeball, also the indigestion is a
result of this condition, rather by toxics from the system
itself and by infections in the mucus - even - from the
character of the system - as is produced by too much acid in
the foods and in the juices as form to produce assimilation
or digestion; even the salivary glands show the effect, as
is seen from condition in mouth, roof of mouth, tongue, sides
of mouth at times. In the alimentary canal, in the colon,
most of the reflex from this occurs, producing pains in the
side at times - heaviness; pressure on the bladder, causing
irritation and often the effect of too active in the kidneys,
and the acid condition there. Also the variation in the
blood supply, as causes fast pulse, a low pressure, and a
depression at times around the heart. This rather the effect
of digestive action than of the circulatory system, save as
affected by the indigestion and the dryness as produced in
the canal itself.
In meeting the needs, then, of the conditions for this body,
we would first - for at least two weeks the body should keep
off of feet, and this should be considered seriously as soon
as the body may conveniently do so, for it is taking great
chances with self to allow these conditions to continue
without the causes being corrected. While the effects must
be considered, the causes must be corrected also, while these
changes are being effected in the various portions of the
system.
Then, the rest for at least two weeks from feet; not
necessarily in bed all of the time, but at least that
sufficient for the body to have PLENTY of rest during
that period.
Begin with the correction of the conditions in the
cerebro-spinal system, also at the same period - these we
would do osteopathically - the treatments should be given
every day, the corrections should be made at least every
third day, applying heat - wet heat, or wet packs and heat to
the packs - BEFORE the deep manipulations are given, in the
dorsal, cervical, and lumbar and sacral regions.
In the applications during the same period, there should be
used those of the antiseptic solutions as will clarify or
cleanse that condition through the passages in nose and face.
Also attention should be given to the mouth. Well that a
mouth wash occasionally be used, massaging gums thoroughly
at least twice each week with Ipsab solution, and also
correcting some local conditions in teeth.
We would also, during the same period, apply those of the
ultra violet ray. ALTER same with those of the Infra red for
the deep tissue, as well as nerve centers, MUST be reached.
We will ENLIVEN the centers from which all of the structural
portions of the body emanate. Especially would we apply the
ultra violet in the central portion, or through the LUNGS
and back. While those of the Infra red we would apply
more thoroughly to the back, in the region of the plexus as
governs the scapula, the centers from the shoulders and the
locomotary centers. Also we would apply over the SACRAL
region the Infra red, massaging same thoroughly after such.
We would also, at least twice - for two or three months -
twice a month use the high enema for the CLEANSING of the
colon. Also using those of the oil rubs after the baths of
the high heat, or sweat baths are used.
Keep the body warm during all of these periods, especially
the FEET warm, the head cool.
The diet should be principally those of the ALKALIN reaction.
A great deal of the citrous fruits should be used in the
eliminations, also those of the beef, iron and wine as the
stimulator for the digestive system.
Well that those of the properties in Vinol be given
occasionally, though we would alter that combination by
adding to same those of this, which would be taken - with the
teaspoonful of Vinol, at least twice each day, add only five
drops of this solution:
Tincture Valerian......1/2 ounce,
Elixir Calisaya........1/2 ounce,
Syrup of Rhubarb.......1/4 ounce,
Tincture of Capsici......2 minims.
This in a three ounce solution of Simple Syrup as a carrier.
Adding this to the dose of Vinol - just the drops, as given.
Do this. We will find that the body in two to three weeks
would be FREED from these conditions.
NOT following these, and only treating local conditions,
we may find and expect disorders through liver, kidneys
and digestive system, as well as lungs involved. Ready
for questions. We are through for the present.
