Brain, as it were, too much of the fatty tissue to PORTIONS
of the system without giving the proper muscular and sinew
forces THEIR proper distribution. Hence there is seen, in
the manner in which the blood's activity in its corpuscle
formation - which comes from the structural portion of body,
that the sinew and the ACTIVITY OF the muscular forces bring
distortions and PAINS at times, as in knees, in extremities,
in feet, in arms, and in the portions of system where the
soft bone structure brings for SUCH circulation its supply of
created energy in system. This in PART - not wholly -
created from the lack of the activity of the system in the
mastication, and the assimilation comes from the activity of
proteins in the body. Now, the CHARACTER then of the blood
is that it becomes over saline and over thin, as it were,
with the abundance of the leukocyte and white blood and lack
of red blood; yet the OPPOSITE effect from anemia; producing
for same the abundance of plasm cell, yet not that that makes
for strength, endurance, vitality. The SOFTENING OF the
tissue being a result. Unless changes would come about, we
must find that there must eventually come the SOFTENING of
the structure until there would be - either through the
activity of the organ so involved - the activity that would
make for either the softening and a plethora, or just the
opposite and anemia. The organ disturbed, then, being that
one which carries for the greater part of rebuilding through
its activity of secretions in system, and through its
functioning as for the excretions as of poisons and puses and
mucus that must be eliminated for the system. This being,
then, the right lobe of the liver, and the liver ITSELF
DILATED; not plethora, no - not altogether plethora - but
dilated, through the activity OF the system in carrying for
the quantity of blood. Had this such condition existed in
old times, they would have bled the body [Bloodletting?]. We
wouldn't.
In the functioning of the system as related to the NERVE
SYSTEM, this reaction of the system, in the way and manner as
seen, as has been given, is to produce rather the inertia,
and not always the pep, not always the desire of activity;
rather a SLOWING up of the whole ENERGIES of the body
physical and the body mental; being, as it were, NOT POISONED
by, but rather kept subdued, and - as it were - a SEDATIVE to
the whole of the nervous systems THROUGH the condition; for
with the blood supply being so engorged in system, shows
channels through which these run lateral with same throughout
the nerve forces of the body, the blood supply of the body -
especially in the capillary circulation the body IN its
activity keeps the nerve system, as it were, fagged - and
while the system IN its activity finds that the energies will
act QUICKLY, they soon tire out.
In the functioning of the ORGANS themselves, brain forces
very good.
Organs of the sensory system show laxness, as is seen in eye,
ear, and especially in the conditions as exist in throat and
larynx.
Lungs are good.
Digestive system very good throughout, EXCEPT as is related
to the liver itself - in both an excretory and a secretive
manner. This not active sufficient, either through the gall
or through the activity of the pancreas; for with the
plethora in the liver, with the sedentary activity of the
spleen, these form an activity that produces for the system
TOO much of those conditions as go for the making up of the
muco - not mucus, but muco [mucose?] - of the system, as
produces for the body the tendency of the capillaries to take
ON the food values RATHER than sinew and muscle building.
In the functioning of the DIGESTIVE system below the stomach
proper, these show a tendency towards that of too much
alkalin for the body, though these VARY at times, and the
system finds that the reactions to same are of an
exhilarating nature, and those functionings in the hepatics
become those of too much activity in kidneys, that EASE the
system in the greater way but produces then fullness in face,
heaviness in feet, when the body responds to the activity or
change.
In bringing, then, about the corrections for this body, [
488]
we are speaking of, we would first take as this - which will
act in the form of the activity to change the vibratory
forces of the system, and if it produces a breaking out or a
rash don't be worried about it - though, if the FOODS are
taken properly these should not occur. Prepare, then, as
this:
To 1/2 gallon of distilled water, add:
Wild Cherry Bark..................1 ounce,
Sarsaparilla Root.................2 ounces,
Sassafras Root Bark.............1/2 ounce,
Prickly Ash Bark..................1 ounce,
Cinchona or Quinine Bark........1/2 ounce.
Reduce this by simmering, or slow boiling - this preferably
should be done in a container of enamel, that WILL not cause
the properties in their reaction to have the metallic forces
or vibrations - and the steam or vapors should be allowed to
escape when these are being prepared. Reduce to one PINT,
see? Strain off and while warm add 2 ounces of alcohol, with
1 dram Balsam of Tolu cut in same - adding to this before it
is added to the solution, 3 minims of Tincture of Capsici.
The dose would be teaspoonful 4 times each day, taken about
thirty minutes before the meals - and eat the meals, but do
not eat too much. Rather be just a little bit hungry, or not
fully satisfied when the body leaves the dining or the
eating, and drink WATER AFTER eating - not while eating, see?
This will change the whole activity in the system as related
to the DIGESTIVE system, especially the pancreas, the liver,
and the spleen.
When this has been taken for about eight to ten days, then we
would begin with manipulations that will correct those
tendencies toward the circular lesion in the 6th, 7th and 8th
dorsal.
We would also be mindful that those of the eliminations
through alimentary canal are kept a little above normal.
We would also take the vapor baths, with that of the
witchhazel RUB FOLLOWING such baths. While the alcohol and
the oil may be given following the bath, before same is
applied rub WELL with the witchhazel - a WEAKENED solution,
about three to one - three parts water, or three ounces of
water to one ounce of the witchhazel, see? Do this. Then,
in thirty days we would give further instructions. Ready for
questions.
(Q) What diet?
(A) That of rather the ELIMINANT, with STABILITY in the
vitamins and the proteins. That one especially of vitamin D.
(Q) What can be done to correct weak arches?
(A) When the manipulations are being given, if these are
treated in the same way and manner these will disappear.
(Q) What should be done for the glandular condition?
(A) We are starting on that! Do this, and we will get to
that!
(Q) What makes body so stout?
(A) That's just been described!
(Q) What can be done for the knees?
(A) We are starting on the knees! but we are starting where
the trouble is, and not on what the effect created! With the
manipulations as come after conditions are being changed in
the system, we will find that all portions of the system -
where the sinew and the muscular forces in the joints - will
be aided to their proper elasticity and proper activity.
Let's commence!
(Q) Does condition affect his growth!
(A) Makes him grow too fast, yes!
We are through for the present.
