TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, we find, while there are MANY conditions that DISTURB the physical functioning of this body, were the various conditions taken in time and the conditions treated as a whole - rather than attempting to segregate, or treat this one and let the others go for the time being and then treat the others - that the conditions may be brought back to a near normal condition; while, with the description of conditions it might SOUND like EVERYTHING was wrong, yet these are NOT so far wrong that the corrections as a whole may not correct MANY of the disorders as are seen, for conditions are rather of the SPECIFIC nature as CAUSE, but of a GENERAL nature as effects, and effects may be easily treated without aiding the cause.
2. These, then, are conditions as we find them with this body, [5590] we are speaking of, present in this room:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find below normal in some respects; in the pulsation, also in that of pressure, and in red blood count.
4. In the general coagulative system, this is very good, and out of the ORDINARY - when conditions are considered as a whole, but this will be seen, that there is a reason or cause FOR this.
5. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, here we find a condition that is being AGGRAVATED, rather than being the CAUSE of a condition. While there are centers in the cerebro-spinal system that need correction, need adjustments, that the whole of the system may coordinate the near proper, the pressures as are brought about IN the system are EFFECTS created, or CREATE effects in the system as relating to the nerve centers. While stimuli TO the centers will cause the reaction, or contraction through the muscular incentive that may be created, these will be as toward building UP, and NOT toward the correction as OF conditions CAUSING trouble, but used a CORRECTIVE measures in correcting conditions.
6. In the sympathetic system, these show - or are PRODUCING DIFFERENT conditions. As is seen from the sympathetic BRACHIAL center, shows the relation to the sensory system and the effect as is created on the auditory nerves. Hence that condition of buzzing or roaring at times in ear; not hard of hearing, but a defect in the NERVE supply as to the head. This merely an ILLUSTRATION of how conditions affect this body.
7. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF ORGANS THEMSELVES, in the brain forces, the body very good.
8. Sensory system affected, as is seen, reflexly - through stress as produced in the sympathetic nerve system, as correlated with pressures created in the system through the organs of pelvis, and through position of stomach proper; for the stomach proper shows that the strain being DOWNWARD, and the pressure as created there producing to and for the condition as exists in the torso portion of body, produce pressure in the right side, and acute conditions are resultant from same at times. This from a POSITION as of the ORGANS themselves.
9. In the functioning of the lungs, larynx, bronchials - these very good, save as for the conditions as result from the variations in the plasm cells, or in the blood supply, and the contraction of cold is EASY at times for the body, for - on account of the lack of secretions as may be thrown to ward off conditions in the system - congestion would ensue easily.
10. As is seen in heart's action, sub-normal - but not ABNORMAL. NORMAL for the conditions existent in blood supply and pressures created in the system.
11. The digestive system, naturally - through the position of the stomach itself, and of the pressure created on the organs themselves - shows that this often gives disorder to the system.
12. In the liver, pancreas, and that portion of digestion - these WORK, but under stress - THROUGH conditions produced there.
13. As is also in the colon, and in the pelvis regions - where these distresses, or the conditions as have existed there - have allowed the dropping forward of the stomach, producing pressure on the organs, that are not ORGANICALLY deranged, but functionally show the effect as is produced in system, and especially through the right side and to the organs of the pelvis themselves. These producing, then, the disorders in the system; also the distresses as are produced in system.
14. In meeting the needs, then, of the conditions of this body - first we would find, it would be NECESSARY - would the body be perfectly normal - to REST, and - as it were - keep the feet higher than the head! but, in the application of those conditions to bring about the nearer NORMAL reaction in system, would be necessary to STIMULATE those portions of the system IN the MUSCULAR forces through the replacement and the contraction OF the muscular forces IN the whole of the pelvic system and in the stomach itself; that the POSITION of same may be kept IN a near NORMAL force to keep same in position until the MUSCULAR forces are brought to bear in the system to such an extent as to make a PERMANENT condition; else we will find, by pressure created - and by the constant strain on the blood supply, through the attempting of the system to meet the needs of the conditions - that there will be accumulations, and those of a plethora condition existent in some of the organs - as exist at times in the lower portion of the right side at present, at the beginning of the pyloric and here of the intestinal tract, or where the pyloric ends. These cause the condition in the system.
15. We would also apply those of the deep manipulation, applying heat when adjustments are made of organs, also of the muscular forces throughout the cerebro-spinal system, that the CONTRACTIONS may become normal. These should find ACTIVE forces in two to five weeks. THEN, WITH the gradual building up of the system, we will find the condition will become near normal in the body. Ready for questions.
16. Applying too, then, those forces also of the vibratory nature in the electrical ray; also those of the colonic irrigations, that we may relieve the pressure on the whole of the INTESTINAL system. These are for relief of pressure, rather than of conditions as are of a sedentary nature, though these DISTRESSES are produced by the filling up of the organ, or of the colon itself, and its pressure on the organs through the system.
17. (Q) Is driving a car detrimental?
    (A) Detrimental, until conditions are improved. Any strain that produces a strain DOWNWARD, on the pelvis OR the stomach proper, is DETRIMENTAL. That's why, in the CORRECTIONS, the body should be PRONE for some eight to ten days.
18. (Q) How often should osteopathic treatments be given?
    (A) Every day!
19. (Q) How often colonic irrigations?
    (A) Once a week until three are given, and then may be once a month.
20. (Q) What electrical rays?
    (A) Those of the sinusoidal, or of the short wave length. These should be applied to those of the lower brachial center and to the first of the sacral centers. See, the condition is why, as of this - that the contraction as will be produced through the muscular forces, and by the bringing about the position of the organs themselves, and stomach in particular, as well as those of the pelvic organs - these will remove the strain. NATURALLY, there will be locally used many of those conditions that CLARIFY the system, see?
21. (Q) What diet?
    (A) These should be those more of the BLOOD building, divided well between blood and nerve energy building in system - for, as is seen, the low blood supply and the high plasm cell creation in system. Then, the red blood should be created for the system. Then, the red blood should be created for the system, but keep same well balanced. This, naturally, is conducive more in the alkalin reaction.
22. (Q) Will hearing improve?
    (A) This has been given, as here. This is a portion of the conditions as are in distress, through the strain as comes from the upper portion of the brachial center, as radiate from the sympathetic system - which produces rather the buzzing; NOT the hearing is deficient! rather that of imparting to the NERVE supply to that PORTION of system!
    Do that, and then we will find - when necessary for the changes, we would give those through here. We are through for the present.
