(Q) I want you to go over her carefully, examine her
thoroughly and tell us what is the matter with her.
(A) Now, in this body here of [
194] we have a condition that
exists in the system at present, and we have a condition that
produced the first condition in the system that has brought
about the condition as we have it at present. We have a
condition in the system that has assisted to make the
condition that we have existing now.
We have here, in the body present, a lack of the blood in the
system to eliminate properly through the whole body,
especially through the liver and intestinal digestion. We
have a lack of the forces to supply the nutriment to the
blood through the capillaries or through that of the
lymphatic circulation in its nerve and muscular force, and
supply to the lymphatic and muscular nerves, especially
through the intestine and the liver. We have more of these
through the lungs, liver and intestine than any other part of
the body, that is, the lymphatic circulation.
Now, what has brought about the condition we have at present
was from the condition that first existed through the pelvis,
times back, through the kidneys, the discharge of the refuse
matter from the system itself here, that has brought about
inflammation through the pelvis. The use of astringents in
the system produced a choking up of the eliminating of the
cellular used forces in the liver proper, until we bring
about the condition we have in the liver, intestines and
stomach.
We have here now a filling up of the mucous of the intestinal
digestion; a lack of the power or property within the liver
to eliminate the blood properly of the matters taken up in
its circulation through the whole body; the lack of
eliminating through the respiratory system, which comes on
account of the condition in the nervous forces; a lack of the
blood supply to the capillaries and sweat glands. A lack of
the power to eliminate these through these allows a choking
up, producing a hepatic circulation below normal temperature
at times in the body, as we have now; below normal of the
action of the liver - that is, in its power of eliminating
and putting into the intestinal digestion, or the properties
to eliminate refuse matter and to infuse the blood with new
matter to be carried into the system, back from used forces
of the lymphatic circulation. Hence, we have destruction of
the red blood, or hemiglobin, and fouling of the white, or
leukocyte part.
(Q) Any other condition you see?
(A) We have the condition through the system that comes
contemporary with this, all caused by the infusion of matter
over the system. This is the existing condition. This is
the condition that brought it about.
You see, we remove these conditions from the system as we
have, a sedative treating of the condition. Treat the cause
of it here first. The cause, as we will find, is from the
forces produced along the spine here, coming into conjunction
with that of the kidneys proper, in their eliminating of the
forces in the body. That is a long time back. That is even
before we have the conception here. We have the forces in
the body now that are produced from this lesion here at the
9th dorsal, 2nd and 3rd lumbar, a lesion lateral, the dorsal
lesion, in conjunction with the body or hard lesion at the
lumbar, of long standing, that produced an overtaxing of the
supplying forces to the kidneys here, and from the liver,
until they bring about the condition we have. The
astringents used on the forces to produce the action on the
liver at times caused it to become torpid, inactive, filling
up of the juices from the liver into the stomach, producing
the condition we have in the intestines and in the liver.
To remove the trouble, or remove the condition formed in the
liver and intestines at the liver by the opening, or by
operation, we won't remove the condition in the system. If
we remove the condition in the system, and remove it by
absorption from the body, we leave the body in a normal
condition and it will be better than it has ever been - not
through the knife necessarily. If we remove these conditions
in the liver and intestines, or from the duodendum, the lower
end of the stomach, we remove the condition existing, but we
do not remove the trouble or what caused it.
(Q) What treatment would you prescribe?
(A) We remove first from the stomach and intestines all
fecal matter, as far as possible, that is gathered into it at
present, through taking something into it to cleanse it, just
water, so we will have the stomach full and reduce the amount
of gastric juices forming into the stomach. We relax the
abdominal forces here from the lumbars and abdomen itself,
until we can force or carry the water through all the
intestinal tract by means of the gravity carried by the
action of muscular force formed by the action of the
treatment to the body, not by natural means, but by means
used to relax the system. Then we give into the system here
by removing this condition, that of the forms of laxative to
the organism, or the liver in itself, to remove this
congested condition. By the relaxation of the liver we keep
away the sickness from the stomach itself, or the forming of
the juices formed by the duodendum and pancreas, from backing
into the stomach itself.
Use plenty of electricity, plenty of open air, fresh air, and
the diet should be light and of a form that is easy of
digestion to remove these conditions through it. As we get
the action we take relaxation through the form of olive oil
in quantities, a cupful at a time. Take enough to cleanse it
thoroughly, not purge it. We have had too much of this
before, but that which acts in unison through the action of
the liver in itself.
The forces of the electric force to be supplied to the system
is that of a stimulative and sedative to the body; not of
muscular contraction of forces, but of stimulative and
sedative to the nervous and muscular body to the action of
the forces. The forces of manipulation should be that of
hands, making the water act in the system - it takes too much
itself to act properly - and the relaxation, or the removal,
of the muscular force or lesion formed along the spine. It
will take time, but it has been a long time coming and
getting that way. Don't cut it open unless you have to.
Remove the trouble first and I think she will get well.
(Q) Any other treatment for the present?
(A) Do this and it will help the body. The removal of the
first cause is where we begin. The removal of what the first
cause has produced and not remove the first cause will not
relieve the body.
