EC: Yes, we have her here. She is a neurasthenic. This is
a condition here of the nerve force in the body, - of the
whole system, that is, action on to the other organisms of
the physical body and mental too, at times, especially do we
have most of the action shown in its forces to the physical
body, through the action on to the lung here; to the forces
here through the pelvis, to the lower extremities, acting on
to the locomotories of the system, or forces which govern the
lower extremities here from the pelvis, on the inside here,
along to the lower limbs, and especially at the knees on the
side here, along the line of the sciatic nerve, acting in
conjunction with the sciatic nerves from the appendages
thereof, here at the joints. The action on the forces here,
through the lung, is through the respiratory system, or more
to the lymphatic circulation, with its nerve appendages
to it here, in the action of the air into the lung, which
forces out, or the action of the same force on to the action
of the heart, or through the blood force, where the blood is
cleansed or purified by the air in the lungs. Therefore,
we have some of the cells in the lower part of the lung,
closed, from the action of the force of the nerves proper
in the system, wherein the force of action in itself is
Neurasthenic - in the acting force in itself or from the
mental action between the nerve and self proper, or to
the branches of those effected by the Neurasthenia, to the
action of the sympathetic nerve system and the cerebrospinal.
At times, we have these forces impaired or circulation, as
through these things we have formed, - indigestion in the
system or the stomach, producing a burning sensation to
the stomach itself proper, from the action of the juices
of the blood, all thrown out by the hepatic circulation
at the duodenum just before it is acted on by the pancrean
juices in the system, and the body in itself, proper becomes
emaciated by lack of nerve force or nutriment in the system,
from the condition of the system that we have in general
over the whole body.
(Q) What other conditions do you see?
(A) There are other conditions arising at times in the
system from the condition of the whole body, as we have
through the capillary circulation at times, throwing out
discharges from these in abrasions on the skin from the
exterior, but these all come from the troubles we have in
the system through the nerve force. That is the condition
between the physical body and its appendages on the system,
with the circulation and nerve tissue here, and muscles, or
to the mental body with its brain and appendages, and nerve
force through the system. The action then in these forces
the neurasthenic condition - a condition existing either
by physical means, brought to action on the body through
the nerve action on the physical system, that is, to the
circulation and muscular force, as the nerve force acting
on these in the system of this body that we have here.
(Q) What treatment would you prescribe?
(A) Hot applications to the solar plexus nerve center at
the ninth dorsal; electrical forces followed after all along
the whole spine, and make an impression to the mind, through
the mind in itself, or action of one mind on another, and
it will quit it. One is action to the physical body, with
application you see; throw off this coldness here to the
feet. Get away this soreness here, or burning at the
stomach, or heartburn in the system. Eliminate that from
the system through the physical means, the action of the
electrical forces, that is static, on to the body here along
the spine and the whole body to its finger tips, along the
limbs, along the line of the sciatic nerve force, along the
limbs, extremities where they come in contact with these
nerve forces, rebuilding in the body, at the armpits where
we come close to the circulation in the body. Then, the
impression on the nerve force through the mind on itself
proper, or to the mental body.
(Q) Any other treatment you would prescribe?
(A) When we eliminate these forces, we produce a condition
in the system, or the body becomes stronger in itself. As
we have in the system, a digestion here, but the new blood
in the body is fairly good, except at times we have a state
in the lung of the force producing this non-clarification
of the blood, - forced back in the heart with particles here
left in the cells, closed, and become then particles through
the hepatic circulation; forced in there, producing a
condition we have in the body. These distribute in the
forces in the body, producing abrasions of the skin, on the
outside. Remove these forces from the physical and mental
body, then we remove the forces from the body and produce
then a clarified condition of the system, and the rest of
the body will be in a better condition.
(Q) What condition is the mind in at present?
(A) The mind is alright, if it will act. The condition
of the mind is acted on by the mental force into the brain
in itself, producing the condition we have now, of the
neurasthenic, we have hundreds of them here. The action
of the nerve force on the brain itself proper, and it thinks
it is sicker than it is.
