These, then, are conditions as we find them with this body,
[
372], we are speaking of. There are, as we find, conditions
that are subservient to the main or primary conditions, that
have apparently been considered as the cause of the
conditions; yet, as WE find, many of these are rather the
result of other disturbances, and were the basis or that
producing the condition considered first, we would - through
care and attention - bring nearer to the conditions that
would enable the body to be rid of much of those that trouble
the body. There has existed for times back conditions in the
system that have prevented a normal reaction from incentives
in the system to function normally through the organs thus
disturbed. As is seen in the 5th and 6th dorsal vertebrae.
These disturbing the digestive system, especially as to the
functioning of the pancreas and the liver. [See subsequent
health readings mentioning the liver and heart condition.
See especially his last reading
372-8, on
10/10/33, Par. 22-A
saying that the medical term now for the condition is
cirrhosis, producing the appearance of a cancerous reaction.
He died
12/31/33.] These causing the system to produce
within same those poisons that have hindered the normal
functioning. These bring, as we see, distresses to the body
as regarding locomotion, as regarding the activities of the
organs, as related to the nerves of the sensory system.
These, then, producing such general debilitation in those
portions that are so active in a normal body, bring
distresses as are seen in the system. Then, to begin, we
will have to find that that is a basis for changes to be
wrought in the body, and as we build for that which will
enable the body to have resistive forces, then we may correct
from the changes produced, that necessary to bring the nearer
normal forces for the body, [
372], we are speaking of.
First, then, we would prepare as these for the system - this
prepared first as a carrier, and the carrier will also act
with the other properties to aid portions of the system that
are distressed through the lack of not only nerve energy, but
of the proper distribution through the respiratory system OF
that energy. Then, prepare the carrier as this:
To 8 ounces of distilled water, add 4 ounces of wild cherry
bark. Reduce by simmering to 1/2 the quantity. Then strain
while warm and add 2 ounces of simple syrup. Then prepare
another solution as this: Take 4 ounces of ambrosia weed, or
ragweed (dried preferably). Put this in 6 ounces of
distilled water. Reduce by simmering or slow boiling to 1/2
the quantity. Strain and while warm add to that of the
carrier with the syrup. Then add:
Syrup of Sarsaparilla..........1/4 ounce,
Tincture of Stillingia.........1/4 ounce,
Elixir Calisaya................1/4 ounce.
Then cut 2 drams Balsam of Tolu in 2 ounces of 85% alcohol.
Add THIS to the solution. Shake solution together before the
dose is taken. The dose should be half a teaspoonful at
least 3 times or 4 times each day. This is to form with the
system that upon which we are to build, and is preparing - or
to prepare the body - for that that will be administered when
at least two-thirds of this is taken. Do that for the
present. Then we would give the changes as are necessary.
As to the diet - this is, as seen, to be considered FIRST;
for we must add that which will assimilate with the system
and which will not distress the body through those weakened
conditions as exist. This has already been considered, but
we would consider this FIRST, with these properties as are
being taken - or TO be taken. No bread save that of the
rough, or whole wheat. No properties that are hard of
digestion through any portions of the system. No properties
that will cause extra fermentation in the system. No MEATS
that carry the flesh, though the juices may be taken in
moderation. Those properties in vegetable forces that add
iron and nerve vitality, carrying properties that are
effective as of the forces that produce vitality, or vitamins
for the body. Ready for questions.
(Q) What causes severe pains at night?
(A) The inability of the system to function nominally when
prone. The body finds when lying prone that it is hard for
the circulation to function properly. When up it is better.
Hence the tendency for the body to be restless, yet the feet
disturb at times - for the circulation slowed up, or - as has
been given - the vital forces as function through liver do
not carry the circulation properly.
(Q) Would you advise the body to continue business?
(A) The body should rest MORE, but to quit off suddenly
would be too much for the mental AND physical forces of the
body - for the body lives much on its WILL force.
(Q) Is the condition curable?
(A) With the response that SHOULD be effected through these
forces as have been given, we would be better able to say as
to whether it may be eliminated entirely or not; but no
reason why this should not be, as we find at present, with
proper precautions, to be sure.
That is all the questions.
Now, we will find that with the taking of these properties
there will be changing conditions in the physical
functioning. At times the body will feel full, flushed - the
heart heavy - the feet tired - tendency for tingling
sensations in extremities. These will be gradually overcome
by using enemas, that will lessen the strain on the lower
intestines. We would use these with small amounts of the
Usoline or White Oil, see? We are through for the present.
