Now, you have before you [
164] who is at the American
Hospital, Neuilly, France - that is, the Department of Seine.
You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly,
tell me conditions you find, also the cure and relief of this
body. Speak distinctly at a normal rate of speech.
EC: [
164]. We have the body here. Now we find there are
those conditions as caused distress to the physical
functioning of the body.
These conditions produced by that bacilli that affects the
impulses to the nerve reaction in the system causing in the
various centers those inactivities that produce numbness and
the inability to function normally.
This in this particular body we find affects directly the
lower cushion of the locomotories and causes the distress in
the lower extremities rather than in other cushions, yet
produces in the whole reflex of the body the same inactivity
to nerve reaction through that of the secondary impulse.
These conditions as we find are improved from that of the
primary condition, yet these may be brought to still greater
functioning through the continuation of those things applied
to build toward the refunctioning of destroyed vibration as
is necessary in the making up of conditions under which such
physical forces are acted upon by this bacilli, for this
bacilli has become less active by those applications that
have been accorded this body, [
164].
Then only keep those same actions as have been begun,
carrying these to that extent that when reaction begins to
set in, full application of nerve centers are restored in the
whole system.
Well, when these are more active, then those properties of
equal parts of Pure Olive Oil and Tincture of Myrrh be used
to massage into the centers, especially where the lymph
centers react to the locomotories of the body.
Keep those things as have been applied. Keep the dark [?] in
the way and manner as will build or react to all of the limbs
that are under the control of those glands that supply
through the ductless glands of the body, that there may be no
deadened condition left that produces an inactive cell.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Is it desirable that he keep to his bed for a long time?
(A) (Is it desirable that he keep to his bed for a long
time?) Keep to the bed until the full reaction sets in, for
with the destruction of the bacilli with the inactivity of
the body this would be bad, yet the massage be masseured and
especially that added condition as gives for reaction to the
centers about the central cushion through the solar plexus
through the lower end of the torso and lumbar section of
those properties given and then when reaction sets in,
activity may be brought back in a general manner. But keep
to bed until full reaction sets in, keeping up massaging and
those applications as have been accorded it. See.
(Q) How long will this be?
(A) (How long will this be?) Four to five weeks.
Now the physical conditions of your body will assume their
normal function. You will awake in a minute and thirty
seconds after I cease speaking feeling well, good and
perfectly normal.
