EC: Now, we find there are those conditions with this body
that may be corrected, and these are abnormal for this body.
This will require care, attention, and a persistent outlined
condition to be adhered to in a strict manner, for many of
these conditions are prenatal, yet these may be overcome in
the condition, for the cycles of the organs are such that
those that are involved in the condition are in that position
where the change will come, and these may be eliminated
entirely from the system, and, as this condition is created
by the system taking from that added to it for its building
in the body, and setting up a system as a parasite system
within the functioning organs of the body, this may be
overcome by adding that to the system that will eliminate
this, or adding sufficient to the unit forces of the atomic
conditions of the body that builds PROPERLY to a normal
condition of functioning, rather than this as is seen; for,
with the present condition, the diet of the body is such that
this condition is aggravated at times, rather than assisted,
yet much of the physical exercises of the body, and the
outdoor, and the close to nature, in many ways good. The
cleansing of the system externally very good - internally
very poor.
Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body, [
43],
we are speaking of.
The blood forces show this contamination, or that humor as is
carried in same that expresses itself in various manners over
portions of the body, affecting often the breath, affecting
the capillary circulation, affecting internally at times the
digestion and the assimilating system. In the exterior
portion called by different names.
In the nerve system, this very good, save there has been a
strain in the 2nd lumbar that needs correction very much.
This will eventually give the body trouble, unless this is
corrected properly.
In the functioning of the organs of the body, all show the
strain under which these labor, and many of these, especially
the liver, the kidneys, and the lungs, show the effect of
this long-standing condition in the blood, and the effects of
prenatal conditions for the body.
Now, to overcome these would be first to have the condition
in the dorsal and lumbar region corrected, chiropractically.
Should take eighteen (18) adjustments, which should bring the
body to its normal.
After the adjustments are taken, see? (not taking medicinal
properties unless the adjustments are made) take this as the
medicinal properties:
First prepare the carrier for these, in this: To 1 gallon of
rain water, add 8 ounces Wild Cherry Bark. Reduce by
simmering (not boiling) to 1 quart. Strain and add 4 ounces
of sugar, first dissolved in 1 ounce of very hot water. Then
add this to the solution (Cherry, or tea of the bark):
Syrup Compound of Sarsaparilla.........2 ounces,
Tincture of Stillingia...............1/2 ounce,
Tincture of Yellow Dock Root.........1/2 ounce,
10% solution of Iodide of Potassium...40 minims,
10% solution of Bromide of Potassium..60 minims,
Elixir Calisaya......................1/2 ounce,
Essence Tolu in solution.............1/2 ounce.
Shake this solution well together. Then add 4 ounces pure
grain alcohol. The dose of this will be teaspoonful 4 times
each day, see? before each meal (and eat the meals - never
eating too heavily) and before retiring. Don't retire too
soon after the evening meal is eaten. Don't sit up too late,
but don't retire too soon afterward. Give full time for
digestion - changing the diet from this one system diet.
Not meats, especially not fat meats. Lean meat of beef or
mutton may be eaten. No hog meat or any fish for this body.
Keep the intestinal tract open, even though high enemas are
used; not using too much of any cathartic, but keep
eliminations good.
Rest a little in the middle of the day, see? Follow this
closely, making corrections first. Do not take the medicinal
properties unless the corrections are made first, for though
they would assist, they would not correct the conditions in
the body, unless adjustments made first.
We are through for the present.
BACKGROUND
6/01/26 Letter from [
43] to EC: "A friend of mine recommended
me to write you that they were positive that you could help
me.
"I cough at night when I get the least bit warm, some time I
vomit and spit up phlegm, it seems, to be in my throat. I
have a good appetite but don't get much sleep on the account
of coughing.
"I have also been to several other doctors, they don't seem
to do me any good. I have lost weight in the last two
months. I lay that on hard work as I am working a hundred
and sixty acre farm alone, and without any rest. I think
that is why I am loosing in weight.
"Hoping to hear from you soon..."
