TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now we find there are some abnormal conditions in the body that may be corrected. They have to do with the functioning of organs and the effect to the nerve forces in their action have on other organs, and the conditions as they produce within this system or body.
2. Now these are conditions as we find them in this body, Mrs. [381] we are speaking of, present in this room.
3. First, in the blood supply, we find the body very good. There are at times in the circulation of the blood, produced by the nerve condition as we will see, there is an over supply of the blood force that goes to the head, producing then in the upper cervicals and through the head force itself these distress signals, as it were, to the body. With this same condition there are times when the heart forces themselves appear over charged with the blood supply, and the pressure becomes above the normal. This, as we will see, is also the condition of the centers rather than of the organs or of the supply of blood force itself - see?
4. In the nerve system we find as this. There has been, in times back, the condition with the digestive tract that has produced the engorged condition of the nerves from the perinerial [perineurial?] nerve and the junction of this with the pneumogastric and the centers about the 7th dorsal then gives the effect as produced there. Also the pain, or uneasiness, that comes through the chest are at times produced from this laxiveness of this center. This then, through the direct force of these actions of the nerves of the secondary cardiac, perinerial [perineurial] and pneumogastric gives this overcharge of blood flow to the head, and in the heart action, and produces the condition through this portion of the body, some of the distress being of the reflex nature. In the sympathetic system we find this is better than ordinary, under these conditions or pressure of blood forces, for the body controls well under its own mental forces, and is governed by the action of the physical with the mental - see? hence, the body keeps its balance better by suggestion to itself, and may control itself to a great deal better than by too much medicinal properties for the body.
5. In the functioning of organs direct the brain forces are good. The action of the functioning of the organs of the sensory system are at times under strain on account of the condition enforcing itself upon the circulation of the blood supply to the organs of the sensory system, as is shown how they are affected through the action of blood flow to the head and upper portion of the body - see? This we find is rather of the reflex, and after these conditions subside, from time to time the organs of sensory system do not suffer as much distress as during, or just before, such periods. Lung forces, very good. Heart action itself, as we have given, produced by nerve reforcement, or engorging of nerve to give too full a blood flow, or to raise the pressure of blood flow. Not organic condition of the organ itself, either through the pressure about or of the valvular force itself, but sympathetically from condition in the plexus near the 7th dorsal. The digestive tract better than it has been in times past, though body heeds well to those forces that agree with the body in assimilation even more than necessary at present. The liver and the organs of digestion we find are better than have been in times past. With the reflex forces of heart action and of full blood flow the liver becomes engorged, and makes that of a dilatory, and also acting organ, both in elimination and of excretory and secretive forces. In the lower portion of digestive and in the intestinal tract at times there is the re-action on organic or specific condition to be wary of.
6. The kidneys high in their action, and some distress shows through the excretory functioning of the organs, the condition in bladder being reflex rather than organic.
7. To give the relief to this body we would first apply the self treatment for this body, or study to show itself approved, and to give the control of all organs of the body the direction from itself. To knead well into the centers along the whole cervical region and to the 12th dorsal those properties of Golden Seal. Massage well into this portion of the body. Exercise of a moderate nature, but of specific character, for that portion of the body above the diaphragm and give placement for the liver in its circulation, of heart in its action with lung to act freely.
8. Take more water into the system. Take the water as would medicine. Take a drink of water, if only a few sips, every two to three hours - see? throughout the day.
9. Do that for this body, Mrs. [381], present in this room.

REPORTS

1. Subsequent correspondence indicated she did not follow the rdg. due to visiting from one child to another who did not believe in the rdgs.
2. 5/07/33 Son [779]'s letter: "Mama [381]'s health is very bad... She has to take lots of medicines, some every 3 hrs. A few months ago she had something like a light stroke. Wish it was possible to keep her here with me so I could look after any treatments that might be suggested in the rdgs. I fear she might go at any time. While she is not very old, about 63 yrs., she has what the doctors call the last stage of Bright's disease."
3. 7/22/33 "She is able to be up, but in bad shape. She has to take some kinds of tablets every 3 hrs. to keep her blood pressure down and very expensive, too. Her doctor in Okla. has had her on it some time. Please give her a rdg. as soon as possible.
4. 8/03/33 See 381-2.
