These conditions of the specific nature, as we find, may be
termed from the effects of mal-nourishment, especially to
portions of the system; and the effects of this being in the
system now, with the developing and the changes coming about,
find their expression in varied manners. Particularly the
extremities of the body are affected in the present, through
the manner in which there is the incoordination of nerve
supply, and - necessarily, then - the blood supply is lacking
in the flow or coordination through the portions of the
system. These find expression in the arm, the hand, and in
the lower limbs and feet, where (in the feet particularly) -
through the strains that have existed, with the poor
circulation and the impoverishment of the body as related to
the well-balance in the diets that would have meant for the
supplying in the system of elements for complete development
- there has been made those conditions in the burses, and in
the portions of the body, as to cause distress - and great
distress at times, especially when the activities require a
great deal of standing, moving, or activity of the body.
In their reflexes to the other portions, or extremities,
these then make for specific conditions that exist in
locomotory centers, or an impoverishment in the nerve and
muscle supply; specifically in the 4th lumbar plexus and in
the 2nd dorsal plexus, or the brachial plexus. These are the
specific conditions.
To meet the needs of these conditions in the present would
require that there be both local and internal applications
for these affected portions of the system, or first a
cleansing of the system in a nature and manner as to allow
the glands - or the secreting portions of the system, that
supply elements for the resuscitation and for the
coordinating of impulses through the system - to act in an
excessive or a normal way and manner.
First we would cleanse the system as related to the
alimentary canal, preparing this as a dose - and at least
three of these we would take, allowing a day between each
dose:
Podophyllum............1/4 grain,
Leptandrin.............1/2 grain,
Sanguinaria............1/2 grain,
Senna..................1/4 grain.
These may be put in capsule and taken. Drink plenty of
water; at least six to eight glasses taken each day,
especially during the period that these are to be taken.
When the body has rested from this for three days, begin with
small doses of Atomidine; three to five drops twice each day
- before the breakfast of morning (or on arising) and just
before retiring in the evening.
For the specific or local applications, we would massage the
lower limbs and the feet with a combination of these
properties:
To 1/2 pint of Russian White Oil, add:
Witchhazel...............1 ounce,
Oil of Cedar...........1/2 ounce,
Oil of Mustard.........1/4 ounce.
Shake these together, and each evening when ready for
retiring use in a massage all along the route of the sciatic
nerve, from the hips to the feet; then massage feet
thoroughly with same, rubbing in all that the body - or the
flesh - will absorb.
We will find that these will remove those troublesome
conditions.
It would be well, after the beginning of the applications,
that there be the massage with the electrically driven
vibrator, specifically in the lumbar area and the upper
dorsal area.
Keep the diet, then, well-balanced; but with a tendency more
towards the alkaline; less meats, save those of fowl or of
lamb.
Ready for questions.
(Q) What can be done for left arm?
(A) We have just given it!
(Q) What should be put on scalp before washing?
(A) With the change of the vibrations - that will be created
by the massage to portions of the body - we will find a
change in the activities of the blood supply, and there will
not be those continual disturbances - even in scalp; but, for
the local application, it would be well that there be
massaged into same - at least once a week - first that of
Crude Oil (very small quantity), and then cleansed with a
weak alcohol solution one to twenty; that is, one drop of
GRAIN alcohol (not rub alcohol, but GRAIN alcohol) to twenty
drops of water - that proportion, or one ounce to twenty
ounces of water, see? This could be kept to be used in
cleansing the oil and the hair. When any soap is used, that
which has a tar base is well - or that which is in such a
category basis for soaps. With these preparations, however,
this would NOT be necessary TOO often.
(Q) Regarding mental and material welfare: Should I get
married or stay single?
(A) Under the existent general conditions, the associations
or relations that are seen for the body, and the indecisions
as related to individuals both in the present surroundings
and the land of nativity, it would be well for the time being
that the body remain single. Then, when the PHYSICAL body is
in better shape, as well as circumstances, conditions, and
the mental attitude towards individuals with, by and through
the surroundings that will come about, it would be well for
marriage; for - as we see - for most individuals (not all)
the making of the home is the ideal condition.
(Q) If I should get married, is the right man here or in
Germany?
(A) As we have given, let's get the physical condition and
the mental attitudes in better shape before these are
considered.
We are through for the present.
