Now, IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, we find full - too full, in fact.
This causes the slowness of the circulation at most times,
and the quickening of the functioning of the organs affected
by that condition. This producing, then, a regurgitation,
and floods the organs of same - that is, the pulmonary, the
heart, the aorta artery, and the organs that are filled by
same in the deeper pulsations. Hence the body easily warms
up, as it were, or the heat at times to the central portion,
smothering effect or feeling over the system. While those
conditions that have been affecting the system in various
portions of the body have aided the condition, the EFFECT of
the anesthesia, especially to the nerve system, has allowed
this fullness in the circulation, and produces the greater
distresses. While the organs and the nerve system are full,
or too lax in their functioning, many of these may be aided
to bring to a nearer normal force the nominal functioning,
but care should be taken that there is not an over excitement
of any nature. Neither should there be too much of a full
relaxing of the system in what would be termed inertia, or
inactivity - but this should NOT be overdone to the extent
that the system becomes overtaxed in any way, either mentally
OR physically. Then, that inter-between, or that moderation,
or that condition wherein the system is kept in that way in
which more of the system physically uses up the energy as is
created IN the system. The body should NOT so tax self by
dieting [GD's note: She was overweight.] as to cause the
strength and vitality to be on the wane, but rather that
equalization so that the coordinating forces of the system
keep each functioning organ and each portion of the
circulation, whether of blood supply, nerve energy, capillary
circulation, lymphatic circulation, or of the hepatic
[liver?] itself, coordinating one with another. A regular
routine, then, would be well for the body, of specific
activities, and of specific rests, with that aiding which
will bring better coordination to the body. These, as we
find, would be best found in this:
First we would, as the body at times suffers from insomnia,
when the body awakens of morning IMMEDIATELY arise! Do not
become restless by thinking, worrying, or of the activities
mentally or physically, but immediately arise. Roll a lemon,
cut in half. Squeeze the juice of same and drink without
water with this, but take water afterward. Then walk just as
far as the body is sure that it will be able to return
without too much fatigue. Returning, rest for three to five
minutes, then a good pinch of salt on the other half of the
lemon and suck this, or get the juice with the salt for the
system. Then rest until the morning meal, which should
consist principally of those food values that carry those of
the building for nerve energy, rather than blood building at
this meal. Those things preferably as in cereals that are
well cooked, or that are dry, or these may be alternated.
Enough just to satisfy the body without producing hunger.
Of the noon meal, or lunch, this should consist principally
of those of the green vegetables that are ABOVE the ground.
Celery, lettuce, tomatos, or such foods.
Of the evening, little of the meats - but more of those of
the cooked foods that carry with same rather WEIGHT, than
building - but that SATISFY the hunger.
Use that of the plain Radio-Active Appliance. Best that this
be used twice each day, when the body rests of morning or
evening, and when the body retires. This should be kept on
for at least half an hour at each period, or may be
lengthened in the evenings. This, we find, will throw off
that of the heaviness, giving the better coordination between
the systems and reducing that pressure as is apparent in the
blood supply, easing the heart's action, removing strain and
pressure from base of brain, preventing the flooding of the
system with the blood supply that becomes slowed up in
extremities.
Well, too, were the body of evenings, before retiring, to
massage the spine thoroughly with as COLD water as the body
can stand. This should be done ALL the way from the base of
brain to the end of the spine. Massage, following the COLD
sponging. Do that. Ready for questions.
(Q) Why are the eyes and ears affected, and what treatment
advised?
(A) This from the pressure created in the cervical plexus
that governs the flow of blood and energy to the organs of
the sensory system. This fullness, this ringing or cricket
sensation that feels of a fullness to these portions, is
produced by that pressure there. Hence the massage. Hence
the coordinating of the nerve energy and blood supply.
(Q) How long should this be kept up?
(A) Until we have a near equalized pressure in the blood
supply, and until the body feels the variations that come to
the system from such diet and such routine. This, as we
find, should not be to the extent that it WEAKENS the body.
Be careful and be mindful that there are the proper
evacuations from the system. Mild cathartics - but DO NOT
keep JUST one! CHANGE - alter same, and occasionally use
enemas or douches that cleanse the system from ANY of those
irregularities that come from an affected circulation. We
are through for the present.
