TEXT

1. EC: There is much difference in the physical conditions in this body since last we had it. Some of these are better conditions, some have been created from the same conditions. Others have arisen by the change in the cycle of the physical developments [Menopause?], and by conditions as have been produced through action and counter-action in the system.
2. As to the conditions we find at the present time, they are as these: First:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, we find this is not as good as might be, for with the toxins as absorbed in the system, and being carried in the blood supply and in the poor elimination, these find their way to the portions of the functioning system, and between the capillary elimination and capillary circulation in portions of the body find their lodgement that gives distress to the system other than in the circulation proper, but in the exercise or action of the body through voluntary and involuntary muscular forces, and through the respiratory system, causing the strangulation to the circulation, and finding its counter re-action through the work of nerve centers as supplied between lymphatic and the heart or arterial circulation. This then produces strain as we have in extremities, especially in the arms, side, shoulders, limbs and across the diaphragm. This all produced by a condition existing in the blood supply and non-elimination taking place in the system, or elimination assuaged by the condition as exists in the system. The blood we find below the normal in red blood count. At times above normal in white blood supply.
4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, we find where these centers have their seat, and the branches of same are exercised through those portions of the system that are involved in the condition. The centers become strained, and we have in the third dorsal plexus, in the secondary cardiac plexus, at fifth and sixth dorsals, and in the third lumbar plexus, these specific conditions, and the perineurial center itself becomes involved in the condition, so that the portions of the system involved give off to the nerve system a counter reaction through cerebro-spinal and sympathetic system, so that the body at such times becomes depressed, [melancholia?] and has involuntary re-action of muscular forces through this condition.
5. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF ORGANS THEMSELVES, we find the brain forces very good, exceptionally good for certain conditions and development in the mental, in the spiritual and in the physical forces.
6. In the functioning of the organs of the sensory system, we find much re-action from the circulation and from the disturbance between the cerebro-spinal and sympathetic system, where it comes in conjunction with that of the sensory organism, and the nerves and blood supply supplying the organs of the sensory system. This especially is shown in the ear (left) and in the eye. Again we find it in the secretions as thrown off to the throat, in the larynx and in the bronchials, and especially to the organs of the vocal system. The sensory system then becomes overcharged. Not that the organs themselves have been deficient, but the elimination or the removal of the drosses as created in the system by this, with the poor circulation and with the condition of toxins existing in the system, causing the distress to the organs. Too much secretions in the eyes themselves, and too much of the congestion to the ear drum, causing ringing in the ear. Too much secretions to the throat supply, giving too much of the mucus to be discharged or eliminated from the system, causing also the reaction to the nerves in the facial portion, and giving to the nostrils that tendency of the counter reaction, and the constant action of the nerves supplying the ducts to the eye and to the head. Pains in the head at times, dryness to the throat, with the reaction of too much secretion. Dryness produced in the body in the lymphatic circulation, thence becoming the strain to the whole portion of the body.
7. In the lungs, larynx, bronchials, as we have given, with that of the heart's action becoming sub-normal, and again above the normal, produced by the contraction of the diaphragm, and the blood supply in the liver, with its circulation in the head, with the increase of the lymphatic in the head and in the portions of the back part of the body, the dryness reaction in that to the extremities. Hence the dryness as experienced in the hands, arms, again in the feet, and with the counter action, and with the reverse forces, as it were, and the lymphatic and capillary circulation taking on the reaction, the body has the feeling as if it were incased within another body, or the shell or the condition between the outer portion of skin and the inner portion becomes, as it were, aflame. Then too much secretion to extremities.
8. In the digestive tract very good for conditions as exist in the system. Liver we find torpid, and exercised by too much outside forces that form secretions in improper manner to the ducts themselves, causing the excretory and the emunctory to function above the normal. In the upper portion of intestinal tract we find there the lacerations in intestines through their seepage as caused in the system, and the body suffers from auto-intoxication as produced by this condition, and other portions of the system suffer therefrom. The kidneys overtaxed at times with this toxin as carried in system, also causing condition in the liver.
9. The organs of the pelvis we find functioning spasmodically to the re-action of the nervous systems, with the condition produced in hypogastric nerve centers from those conditions in those plexuses where the epineurial forces are involved.
10. Then to give at the present time those vibrations to the system that would bring the normal to this body, [325], we are speaking of, we would take first in the system those properties that will overcome that condition producing the condition in the body. Then also at the same time apply that to the physical that will be the incentive for system to bring equalization in the system, and elimination be established in the proper channel and manner. Take then this in the system:
11. To one gallon of rain water, add:

    Sarsaparilla Root....4 ounces,
Wild Cherry Bark.....2 ounces,
Dogwood Bark.........2 ounces,
Calisaya Bark........2 ounces,
Elder Flower.........4 ounces.

12. Reduce this by simmering (not boiling) to one quart. Strain while warm and add two drams of Balsam of Tolu, cut in four ounces of grain alcohol, with one dram of Balm of Gilead.
13. The dose would be two teaspoonsful before each meal. Don't take it unless the meal is eaten. The body does not take sufficient food in the proper manner for the body, for with these conditions arising the mental rebels against that which would place more toxins in the system.
14. With this we will find we must keep plenty of water in the system, and without the system, so that with the warm or tepid baths that should be taken to portions of the body where the emunctory circulation eliminates through the skin or through the capillary circulation, this must be removed as well as keeping the intestinal tract cleansed, or without foods or toxins having the opportunity to form in the system.
15. Let the diet be not of meats, but rather of vegetable, or with that of fish which may be taken, without a great deal of highly seasoned food. Too much of that [highly seasoned food] is taken, and more salines with the foods. As the vibrations from this are reacted in the system we will find we will bring better conditions for this body.
16. When this has been taken the full quantity, and the body rests from this for fourteen days, then take in the system this: 5 grains of Chloride of Gold to 10 ounces distilled water, with 10 grains Bicarbonate of Soda. The dose would be 10 drops in half a glass of water twice each day.
17. Then every third day apply the low vibration of the violet ray over extremities, and the whole length of spine, with the body lying prone on its face. [Violet ray hand machine, bulb applicator]
18. Do that. We will bring the conditions from the present to a normal vibration in the body, [325].
19. (Q) Would a change of climate be of assistance to this body?
    (A) No.

BACKGROUND

1. See 325-2 on 6/29/23.

REPORTS

1. 5/05/24 See 325-4, especially for hemorrhage from throat & nostrils. The rdg. seemed to indicate she had not followed advice in 325-3.
