The =symptoms= that appear after decompression are vertigo, nose
bleeding, nausea and vomiting. The most common symptom is the
severe pains in the muscles and joints which is known by the layman
as bends. There may also be temporary or permanent paralysis
called diver’s palsy. In the more severe cases there will be
unconsciousness, and even death.
When the workman is taken too quickly from the high pressure there
is formed gas and air emboli. These may form in the labyrinth of the
ear, in the spinal cord, in the brain, in the heart, or in any other
vital part of the body and not only be distressing but may even prove
fatal.
It must be remembered that the conditions produced by changes in
the air pressure may be classed as traumatic, immunity from which
is not entirely a question of uninterrupted transmission. If
there are subluxations in the spine at the time the workman goes
into the caisson, or if subluxations are produced at the time of
decompression, the interference thus produced will interrupt the
process of intellectual adaptation. Such subluxations should be
adjusted, but it must be remembered that if emboli are formed or if
bends occur the result or the relief is a question of the natural
processes of Innate in the body, and the results will depend entirely
upon the ability of Innate to cope with the traumatic condition.
Innate Intelligence operates through the body according to law, and
it is possible for the body to become so affected and deteriorated
that it becomes a physical impossibility for her then to repair it
and restore it to normal.
We have seen that the normal air pressure at sea level is fifteen
pounds to the square inch. In order that the body will not be crushed
by this weight it is necessary to have an internal resistance to
equal this weight. This internal resistance is maintained in the body
by the tone of all of its parts; it is maintained by the expression
of mental impulses in the tissue cells.
We have also observed that the combining of chemicals is influenced
by the pressure exerted; therefore, in order that the chemical
combinations of the body be constant there must be equilibrium
established between the external pressure and the internal
resistance. This is maintained through the adaptability of the
expression of Innate in the body. As the change takes place
externally there is a corresponding adaptative change taking place
internally and this all requires time. Therefore, in passing the body
from one air pressure to that of another degree, there must be a
sufficient amount of time intervening to allow Innate Intelligence to
bring about the necessary adaptation.
