TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [326]. Now, we find there are conditions that disturb the physical forces of the body and prevent a normal reaction in the functioning of the system. These conditions, as we find, in their main, have to do with the eliminations of the system and the manner in which the drosses affect the body.
2. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [326] we are speaking of, present in this room:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find below normal and charged, as it were, with the lack of proper eliminations being carried on in the functioning of the organs, where clarification of same should take place. Hence the repressions through the system from this condition produce those intense pains that are experienced in portions of the system, especially in the present - or in the present reaction those to the upper portion of body, in the head, the neck, the face. These, as we find, are from those conditions in the eliminating system as related to the activities of the liver and the hepatic circulation; this producing a pressure through the central nervous system, from and along those lines of the cerebrospinal nervous system with the sympathetics from radial plexus, that show some impingements along the cerebrospinal centers - hence the nervous system becomes involved in those plexus from the 3rd and 4th dorsal to the base of the brain. These are not causes, rather reflex actions that then come to the lower portion of the 3rd nerve center FROM the 4th and 5th cervical plexus and 3rd and 4th dorsal plexus.
4. In this reaction, these become acute when the eliminations are most severe in the region of the caecum - and hence, while there are not those of distresses particularly in the region, an uneasiness is felt there at times - but in the nerve ENDS the condition becomes acute.
5. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, in the brain forces, these are reacting nominally.
6. In those of the face, head and neck - in those of the jaws themselves, as from the radial axis - we have a pressure as produced sympathetically through the regions and from the causes as indicated, making for an ACUTE condition.
7. In the throat, bronchia, lungs and larynx - these show for an effect, though not an acute condition. Rather that as of a bad taste at times in throat and mouth, a dryness as caused by lack of proper reaction through the glands that make for sufficient of the lactics for the digestive system - and produce a dry sensation in the area. Lungs at times show the indication of an attempt of the blood supply to be clarified, or oxidized, through this portion of system - and rather a fullness felt, making for a tendency of a heaviness towards the head.
8. Digestive system, while not causing any particular disorder, at times we find a feeling of a fullness - especially in the lower and right side of body. This is from the conditions as indicated, and produces - with the overacidity as comes from this - a tendency of the body in its digestive reaction to make for poor eliminations, impoverishment of the blood supply, lack of sufficient lactics in the emptying of the digestive system, slowness in the functioning of the liver itself, fullness in the spleen reaction, and kidneys acting in a manner as of oft, but not of sufficient nature to cleanse the system - making, then, for a heaviness in the lower limbs, and an uneasiness or soon wearied, and the acute conditions as arise in the upper portion of body.
9. In meeting the needs of the conditions, we will find - while it will be necessary occasionally to meet acute conditions, until the system can be so adjusted for the eliminations to be nearer in coordination throughout the system - these will require a little time, yet there will be felt an easiness to the whole system, a lack of the repressions as have existed.
10. We would make, then, as these for the body:
11. First we would begin with the packs - oil packs over the liver area. These we would give each day - once each day, preferably in the evening - for four or five days. Then REST three or four days - then begin again.
12. During the same period there should be applied the Epsom Salts packs across the LOWER portion of the KIDNEY area. These we would give at the SAME time - see? Keep the heat for the salts packs with heavy plain salt, keeping the heat for the oil packs over liver and lacteal duct area with an electric pad or hot water - but NOT with the salt, see?
13. Take those properties internally at the END of the periods; that is, the end of each of the application periods - not each day, but at the END of the periods - see? those properties of the nature that will cleanse and take from the system those poisons that have been accumulated in this period, making for high eliminations. These we find will be found best in that as already prepared in the Castoria. Take in small doses; that is, half a teaspoonful every half hour, until there is a FULL reaction from same, see? The next DAY - after these have reacted - take a heaping teaspoonful of Bicarbonate of Soda - see?
14. As for the ACUTE conditions - when these arise it may be found even necessary for sedatives to be taken, but if these will be followed these will soon disappear, and packs of the Epsom Salts may be applied to those areas from which the centers cause the distress in face and in head - see?
15. Also those conditions as we find for the eyes, as make for the distressed area - these are REFLEX conditions, and if the drainages be set up by these conditions, as we are preparing for the ELIMINATIONS, we will relieve those DROSSES as accumulate for pressure in the system.
16. Will be well, too - after the first, or DURING the first rest period from the packs - that those osteopathic manipulations or adjustments be given that will AID in the draining from the head, the face, the eyes, those accumulations, and be MOST beneficial. [GD's note: We referred her to M. L. Richardson, D.O.]
17. We would also use, in the REST periods - which should be taken each day - the Radio-Active Appliance, that makes for COORDINATIONS from the distresses in extremities. This will relieve that tendency of cold feet, that tendency of the poor circulation in the extremities, and ALSO make for an easy reaction for the rest of those things given. Ready for questions.
18. (Q) How long at a time should the packs be applied each day?
    (A) From twenty-five to thirty-five minutes.
19. (Q) What should she eat?
    (A) In the matter of diet - these would be well to be considered; this may be a pattern or as an outline, but would be well to be changed from time to time:
    Mornings - a combination, or one citrus fruit diet - see? it may be altered at times with the stewed fruits, but DO NOT mix same. Again it may be altered with coddled eggs, whole wheat bread, dried toast and Ovaltine or a cereal drink.
    Noon - a liquid diet, with the fresher vegetables, a combination of same - but ALL green. Evenings - we would take those meat juices, NOT the meats themselves. That as of beef or those of any COOKED vegetables that are not tuberous in their nature. Any of those that are of the nature that make for those of beans, lentils, cabbage, carrots, all of these may be taken - but not those of the bulbular nature, as of potatoes or those of that nature - see?
20. (Q) Any spiritual advice for this body?
    (A) The body is spiritual in its aspects and in its reaction. If the body will aid self in those applications as may be made for same, SEE self - in the periods when the body enters into the quiet - HEALED as it, the body, WOULD be healed. VISION self BEING aided by those applications. Know what each application is for, SEEING that DOING that within self. Keep the mind in that attitude as makes for CONTINUITY of forces manifesting through self - a continual flow, see?
21. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. She came with her niece, Miss [307], and a neighbor, Mrs. [404], seeking health for her suffering for quite some time with an ailment called tic douloureux [neuralgia of the trifacial nerve].

REPORTS

1. GD's note: Mrs. [326] said she was pinning every hope on the treatment suggested in the rdg. to help her, since tic douloureux was considered incurable, and she had been unable to sleep, eat or attend to anything in her home properly for some time due to intense suffering.
2. 5/25/31 See 326-2.
