TEXT

1. EC: We have the body here, [120]. Now, we find there are those conditions that cause distress with the physical forces of this body. These are rather the combination of disturbances, and SOME have been of long standing. These have to do with the eliminations and the effect these disturbances have had, and do have, on the nerve systems of the body. These, then, are conditions as we find them with this body, [120] we are speaking of:
2. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find below the normal in its ability to store energy in the vital forces of the system, due to the improper eliminations as are carried on in the system, and the blood supply carrying these properties - as should be eliminated - causes an impoverishment in some directions, and an overburdening of the stream in other directions. Then, not WHOLLY that of hardening arteries, but rather that of the slowness of the circulation, producing at times strains on the heart's action, in its attempt, as it were, to force the circulation through the system properly.
3. IN THE NERVE SYSTEMS, here, as indicated, we find the seat or the causes for most of the disturbances, but THESE are reflex in nature first; then having formed, through this continual subservation [Subserving?] or subjugation of nerve energy, as related to certain plexuses of the system, these have become then the causes, or the greater distresses - but to attempt to eliminate the conditions entirely by treating that as is SECONDARY in the causes would only be bringing relief for a SHORT while, and the condition returning again. These subluxations, we find, exist in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th dorsal - lesions in the 3rd and 4th cervical, in the lower lumbar and sacral. These causing, and have been caused, by the disturbance in the hepatic circulation and in conditions existent there; though those nervous reactions of a cold or hot nature, or flushes in system, weakness in the eyes, in the continual tendency to clear the throat, the rising of mucus in throat, tendency to cough - these are reflexes from lesion in the upper dorsal, and AIDED by disturbances in the other regions as given.
4. IN THE ORGANS OF THE SYSTEM, brain forces are good; exceptional in discernment, and in the activities of the mind related to spiritual things in the life.
5. In the organs of the sensory system, those conditions as are produced there are reflex - as are those in the bronchia and lung. Naturally, the condition as existent - the body finds periods when cold or congestion is easily contracted. Cold feet, and tendency to be shivery when drafts or breezes come. These are from the activities of the respiratory system, but no organic lung disturbance.
6. Heart's action shows the effect of the sluggishness in circulation, and is a reflex from conditions in the liver and in the nerve system.
7. Digestive system - this the cause or the seat, or the first causes of disturbance. These date back. Though those added conditions for the system has apparently assisted, this, we find - these are rather in a dormant activity, than of being removed as causes.
8. The liver shows the effect of conditions in the nerve system and blood supply, as well as that as has existed in the digestive and assimilating portion of the body.
9. The kidneys - with the natural condition in the hepatics, these are overactive at times - at others are below normal in activity.
10. Now, to meet the needs of the conditions in this body at the present time:
11. First we would change from the environments or the surroundings, or put self in that position where these suggestions may be carried on for the system; for with these corrections, we will find many days - and very much bettered conditions physically - added to the span for this Life, or body.
12. The corrections, then, should begin WITH THE DIET FIRST - which shall add to the system those especially of magnesium, silicon, and sulphur - with iodine well distributed in the diet.
13. In corrections as exist in cerebrospinal and in the whole of the muscular forces of system, the correction of those lesions in the upper dorsal, the relaxing of those in the cervical and lumbars, will aid the system in bringing about corrections for all of the sensory organism, as well as correcting those disturbances in the nerve and blood supply. There should be at least, in the beginning, the manipulations and corrections given every other day, and every other day, or every other treatment, should be a GENERAL treatment, and CORRECTIONS made only in every other treatment.
14. Those applications of the sinusoidal ray, in that of the short meter, or short vibratory forces, should be applied to the system, especially in the brachial center and in the lower lumbar center. These should be given not more than three minutes in the beginning.
15. We will find, in three to five weeks, the near normal conditions brought for this body, [120]. We are through for the present.
