TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [197].
2. Now, we find there are those conditions in the physical forces of the body that cause disorders, and being forewarned the body may be forearmed; for, with corrections for the disorders made in the present, these, as we find, would be much more easily brought to a NORMAL reaction than were conditions allowed to become of such natures, through the effects being produced, as to become either that of a constitutional, or of conditions being builded that would be hard to overcome.
3. The conditions, as we find them, have to do with the characterization of that assimilated being distributed in the system. This, as we find, is the basis of the disorders. While these do not always indicate - that is, the effects - that this is the disorder, but with the correction OF this, WITH the natural changes as would come with such a correction, would make for a nearer normal functioning physical body.
4. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [197] we are speaking of, present in this room:
5. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, naturally, as would be suspected from the disorder as indicated, there are indications in the character of the hemoglobin, the character of the red blood, the character of the white blood cell in their pressure, in their numbers, as to a disturbance. Not that we would say a blood condition that is the disordered center; rather the effect as is produced in the system in which the building up, or the replenishing of used forces in the characterization of eliminations in the system, especially as related to the nerve system and its relation to the various organs disturbed, does the disorder show. In the pressure, as is seen, below the normal at times. In the amount of the urea, this, as is shown, is below normal - and that of the glucose, or that of the building up of plasm in system, not always equal to the conditions, yet above normal in the present; as is also the indication in one character of the white blood. Not that this shows that there are any conditions where there is pus FORMING, or those of any of the characterization of the pus forming streptococci, yet these are evidenced as by the condition existent through the pelvis system, as by the conditions existent through a portion of the throat and bronchi; yet these, as we see, come from the character of the DISTRIBUTION of used forces, and of the DISTRIBUTION in circulation of those plasms as are builded in same through that of the assimilations for the body. Then, as we may suspect from same, there is that characterization in the digestive system, in which an unbalancing of the system occurs, especially as related to the glands of the lactics, or the lacteals. These show a repression. Hence that disorder as comes from same. The tendency at times of the sympathetic nerve system, through the sensory system, to give some distresses. As for the throat, bronchi, of the eyes and of the ears - these at times show the indications of these repressions, by the activity as seen in the sensory system. Not that these are not related to those of the mental forces of the body, over which often much may be gained by the activity of the mental being holding an image before same that is active with the forces of the body, yet these are of a PHYSICAL condition, ALSO, in the physical system, for there is the physical body, there is the mental body, there is the spiritual body. The mental body is the BUILDER, and the EFFECTS of that as guided by the forces of life through the spiritual forces, in the atomic forces of system, are manifested in the material or physical body. These, as we see then, relate to that characterization of the atomic forces as set up in each vibratory system of the body itself, so that we find at times, through the nerve energy, those effects of a very COLD, or low, hepatic circulation. The acidity as is seen in system at times arises from this, as does the tendency of the activities seen through the colon itself and its effect upon the lower hepatic circulation, or that of the liver and the kidneys in their relations one to another. These making for the repressions as come from the system.
6. IN THE FUNCTIONING, THEN, OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, these, as we find, show there are those centers along the cerebrospinal system from which the impulses of the functioning come to the system from the activity of the impulse through the mental being; for the mental is the builder; and show their impingements in the form of disorders, in what may truly be termed the BURSES of the plexuses [Bursitis?]. Especially are these seen in the 5th and 6th cervical, as for the head and troubled disorders to the upper portion of system; in the 9th and 10th dorsal, as is seen from those of the lacteals and those of the adrenals, those in the lumbar and sacral form for those conditions in the lower plexus that give disorders. These, as we see, are rather the effects as created IN the functioning system, and not even DISORDERS as yet - save as seen sympathetically.
7. Then, to meet the needs of the conditions, we will find that mentally, in the mental conditions OF the system, there may be held that which may, through the activities of the sympathetic WITH the cerebro-spinal, make for those conditions as may be desired to be builded in the body itself [Christian Science? Suggestive Therapy?]. Not that physical conditions or disorders do not exist, but EACH center must have its IMPULSE, its criterion of activity, to meet, or bring about that as is TO be distributed, used or given out THROUGH the activity of those centers, or those plexuses in the system; as do the brain forces themselves need that of the impulse for its activity, whether seen from those of the forces in the physical force - as seen as impulse through the sensory activity, or whether those that may be awakened from within by the activity of things from without; as the body finds these conditions are repulsive, or actions in those of buoyancy, or depressing in their activity.
8. So, in meeting the needs, these conditions MUST be taken into consideration:
9. Then, be mindful that the digestive system is so kept that the whole of the system is in an ALKALIN reaction, and not lacking for the lactics in their activity through the alimentary canal. We would take, then, as these, in this order, only VARYING them according to the needs for PROPER elimination.
10. The oil, as may be seen - Russian white oil - tablespoonful taken one day. The next day, or evening, we would take a tablespoonful of Milk of Magnesia. The next day we would take a tablespoonful of Milk of Bismuth. The next day we would take a Phenolax wafer. These, as we see, work in their variations for the necessary impulses in the whole of DIGESTIVE system.
11. We would also use, each day, those vibratory forces as may be had from the use of the Radio-Active Appliance, which will make for that polarity in the system of the extremities, in such a way as to prevent for the body that of the tendency of the tingling sensation, or quivery feeling as felt in extremities, especially if the least bit fatigued.
12. We would also use those of the manipulations, or of the VIBRATORY forces electrically driven. This may be done once or twice each week, and may be regulated - either with those of the necessary needs, or using the vibratory forces - these may be given each day. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) What is the cause of the small growth on the tongue?
    (A) This, only those of the accumulations of the excesses of forces as are manifest in this particular area. Do not disturb self as respecting same. This comes from that acidity. We are relieving same, through those carryings off of the conditions in the alimentary canal.
14. (Q) What causes the pain [bursitis?] in the upper part of arm?
    (A) As was seen in giving those of the centers from which radiation comes to the extremities, and the inactivity of the system as relating to distribution of forces as are assimilated. This comes from that center, as is seen from that given. There is a PRESSURE there. THIS causes the condition.
15. (Q) What do the red spots on the chest mean?
    (A) The differentiation in the capillary circulation end the lymphatic circulation, or the disturbance as given, in the blood supply.
16. (Q) What is the cause of the small blisters on hands and feet?
    (A) Acid, from NERVOUS condition.
17. (Q) What causes the headache?
    (A) This was as given, the pressure here - from the 9th dorsal, the 8th and 9th dorsal center - or from the lacteals, or the OVER ACIDITY as produced by the improper conditions in ASSIMILATIONS. We will find that the first change in the conditions, by the whole of the eliminations, will aid this condition. When the oil is taken, and then those of the Milk of Magnesia and Milk of Bismuth, and so on - then begin over again, until at least six to seven such ROUNDS are taken, see?
    Let the diet be not of meats, as the basis or the greater portion of a meal - but rather those of the vegetables, fruits and nuts, as build both for the blood supply and the MINERALS of the system.
18. (Q) How long should the Radio-Active Appliance be used at a time?
    (A) Thirty to sixty minutes each evening, circulating same all about the system - that is, when it is one day attached to the ankle, the next day the first attachment should be to the wrist and to the opposite wrist from that the day before; as from the opposite ankle from that the day before. Alternate to which centers these are added each day.
19. We are through for the present.
