Chart No. 13

on the x-ray film.^[1] The space between the adjacent bones gives the only real clue in these pictures, and the injection of color dye makes the picture clearer. However, that relationship can be shifted by posture and manipulative correction. Many so-called disc cases are really bad, chronic, spastic lumbago cases. Careful constitutional therapy^[2] plus local release of the energy blocks, spasms in the muscles and the impeded circulation, has given most surprising results. Sometimes it is advisable to use leeches to withdraw that black, un-oxidized blood sludge out of those spastic tissues and allow fresh blood to do the work. The relief obtained is like a miracle.

Gravity is not to blame in these cases. The body, like an inefficient internal combustion engine, cannot climb a hill against gravity. Even the best of leverage angles must have an internal combustive power behind them to function effectively against gravity. Heel lifts merely shift the weight but do not correct causes in these functional inefficiencies. Sacral base anteriority can be easily detected when the patient stands on the test board. In such cases folds appear on the posterior-superior base side, with a compensating spinal curvature on the opposite side. Corrections are illustrated in charts No. 14 and 15 in this book and in chart No. 19 in book II.

Spinal lateral curves are due to tilts and stress in the sacrum. The patient is laid on the side opposite the lateral curve, with a pillow under the hip to assist sacral correction.

Short legs become long at once under the correct POLARITY THERAPY procedure. When using the test board, PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THE PATIENT'S OWN CENTER OF GRAVITY and all parts relating to it. Gravity only points to the lack of relationship. It is not the causative factor of any of these lesions, as was previously assumed. A mirror is not to blame for a person's appearance, but his habits, thoughts, feelings, excesses in food and drink are real factors. Studying these cases makes the doctor's work interesting and more effective. Test this POLARITY reaction without vertebral adjustment and see how well it works.

The sacrum and its cerebrospinal fluid is the opposite pole of the motor area of the brain: Positive above, negative below. In the seed power in the pelvic sensory field lies the sum total of man's energy heritage. The triangular sacrum was called the sacred bone, as the key to the royal arch of the temple not built by the hand of man.

The position of the atlas [C1] is dependent on the sacrum. It will stay where the sacrum permits it to rest. The atlas [C1] is a key wedge at the positive pole, and stimulation there has powerful reactions all over the body as well as on the sacrum. But the sacrum is still the keystone to the royal arch of all structural relation and function in the body's own economy and individual gravity field.

The atlas [C1] shifts readily as an accomodating [accommodating] wedge for the triple polarity pull between the articulation of the condyles around the foramen magnum, the spine and the sacral base stress. Balance in all three must be affected before the atlas [C1] can be normal and at rest. NO ONE POLE CAN BALANCE THE WHOLE. IT TAKES THREE; even as the smallest stick has two ends and a middle. One pole can unbalance the others and cause any disease or structural defect. Correction depends on the balancing of all three factors. All motion is triune: Positive, negative and neuter [neutral] in its rhythmic energy flow from a center or around a neuter [neutral] core.

THE METHOD OF LEG MEASUREMENT AS A MEANS OF DETECTING THE TENSION

*****
¹ Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was developed in the 1970's and 80's. This system can show injuries and malformations in soft tissues like cartilage.
² Constitutional therapy probably means diet and lifestyle changes, plus resolving mental and emotional binds.
