TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, we find there are rather those conditions of which the body should be warned concerning. While the conditions at times give distress, there is gradually being builded in the physical system those conditions that will be much harder to combat with, unless the advantage is taken of the present resistive forces in the system and the causes eliminated from the system.
2. Now, these are conditions as we find them with this body, [19], we are speaking of, present in this room. First:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, first there may be said that pathologically, this body would be one of especially interesting study to the anatomist - and, as the conditions are given, it may be seen why.
4. In the blood supply, here we find evidences of not only the troubles as should be eliminated, but the character, the position, and the kind of disturbance as is evidenced, in the manner in which the variation of the white and red blood corpuscles exist in the system. Were the actual count taken, these would be found to vary, and were there only a few days at times changed in the count taken, the variation would amount to hordes. In this respect, then, we see that there is inhibited IN the blood supply some disturbance that causes or produces this, WITHOUT disturbing - as yet - functioning organs to a great degree, though we DO find that the headaches as come, the pains to the eyes, the languidness to the body, are rather signposts - or are signs of the disturbance and its location.
5. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, this, as we find, at PRESENT, suffers most through the internal nerve system, or through the vegetative nerves, or those of the intestines and the stomach, and the organs of digestion. At times we find that foods that foods taken, apparently without any reason, give distress, not only in the stomach itself - but there are periods when the food does NOT give distress until after same has passed FROM the stomach. This the result of the disturbance in the vegetative nerve system, throughout the mesenteric system - and these, as we find, indicate that the greater distress then to the blood supply, to the stresses on the nervous system, come from auto-intoxication, produced by the condition existent in the colon itself. The colon, then, in a portion of same - especially that in the descending - is a form of prolapsus. Not wholly DOWN, no - but tending to form conditions wherein there is a variation in the manner and in the way the eliminations or evacuations are made from the system. Now, the effects from these conditions: When there is the clogging or the blocking up of these poisons in the system, these are taken up then by reflexes through the jejunum, or through the smaller intestines. The glands, as come from the effect of the assimilation, directly through the activity of a certain portion of the blood supply, known in that portion - of a division of the leucocyte portion of the blood, these produce debilitation, the languidness, the heaviness at times in feet and legs, the achy feeling, or cold sensation at times along the innerside of the lower limbs, stretchy across the shoulders and arms at times. These are reflexes, coming from the hindrance of these pressures in this portion of the system to the lymphatic circulation. Drainage, then, in system becomes bad - sour stomach a result - headaches again the result - the eyes ache or burn at times from this same condition, and these are the signpost, or the effects that occur from conditions, and were the effects ONLY - and not the causes heeded - then we may expect that other conditions or other organs must, sooner or later, suffer from the distress.
6. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF ORGANS THEMSELVES, brain forces are very good. The sensory organism we find at times shows the reaction in the form of TOO MUCH mucus, and again a dryness in the throat - tickling at times in the ROOF of the mouth, or along each side of the throat - fullness with a tendency to clear same at times.
7. Lungs, bronchia - are very good. These show the effect of the disturbance in the blood.
8. Heart's action and blood pressure subnormal at times, again near normal.
9. Digestive system, under this stress and strain, shows the effect of an over acid condition in the system.
10. The liver torpid in its activity, as is the stress at times and over activity of the kidneys and the hepatic circulation - pressure on bladder at times - painful when passing of urine at times, or burning. This an over acid reaction, and the effects of the disturbance as is seen in that portion of system as given.
11. Now, to meet the needs of these conditions at the present, to eliminate these entirely from the system, that the body may function the near normal, that there may not be the later disturbance from these conditions in this body:
12. We would first rest for a day or two, at least until the first colonic irrigation is made - and in this care should be taken in making same, for with the fallen or closed condition in ascending colon, there may be expected some strain on the system at the first reaction from same. In two weeks there should be another irrigation made.
13. After the second irrigation is made, THEN the body may begin with those properties for the system as will BUILD same to a near NORMAL condition.
14. The diet, after such treatments begin, will not be of such a RIGID nature, but these should tend to be that as has more of what may be ORDINARILY termed the ROUGHER, or the coarser foods, and not too much of the sweets, or of the rich food, or of the highly seasoned foods; but rather the rougher foods.
15. With the beginning of treatments, would be as this: Using that of the appliance in the form of the electrical vibration as would be set in the sinusoidal application, the one anode placed at the 5th dorsal center, the other at the 4th lumbar. These should be given at lease twice each week for at least eight such treatments.
16. The MANIPULATIONS for the adjustments of the system to the changes as would be brought about by the cleansing of the system, would be given at least every OTHER day for at least sixteen treatments.
17. Do THAT, and we will find we will bring this body near to the normal, healthy reaction through the physical. Ready for questions.
18. (Q) What is the condition of the heart? What causes it to hurt at times?
    (A) Not so much the hurting of the heart as that location about same, in the pressure in the indigestive forces that arise. The pressure is produced in heart when the CIRCULATION is disturbed, which is only reflex. That intercostal - that is felt most there - is most indigestion - NOT heart.
19. (Q) What causes rheumatism in the right knee and what will relieve?
    (A) Relieving the poison from the system. This being absorbed back into system, and when the blood supply is being drained of its red blood count to meet the needs of the coagulation in the system, these may be expected to leave poisons in the system to the effect that those of the muscular forces - as neuritis, that in the sinew as the pressure in form of that as seen - are results. Removing the poisons, that producing same - relaxing the centers from which the radiation is affected - enlivening same through the vibratory forces - will remove these distresses from the body. Do that.
20. (Q) Are the tonsils affected?
    (A) No. These cause DISTRESS at times, from the overflow of the blood. The CORRECTION of the rest of the system will relieve these conditions.
21. That is all the questions.
22. We are through for the present.
