These conditions are not so much of that by the subjugation
or the reaction in centers as of the tissue through which the
reaction takes place. Hence the conditions in the digestive
system, in the stomach, intestines, and assimilating and
excretory system. These are as, then, depletions occurring
in the vibration as set forth by the functioning of the
system. See? Then, these create the lack of proper
secretions to carry on the normal activity of digestion;
weakening the resistance in nerve and blood supply. Hence we
have these reactions. Not so much of an illness as of a
weakness; tendency towards nausea at times. This may soon
pass off with the reaction of TOO much activity, either of
the system in its elimination or too little of kidney
function or too MUCH kidney function, and too little of the
liver reaction. No temperature to speak of, yet the body at
times feels hot, tired, and debilitated throughout. Forced
activity will at times work off the condition. At others
this produces low, dull headache, and the tendency to feel
throbbing throughout the system.
Now, to meet the needs of the conditions as we find them at
present:
Be careful of the diet. CHANGE often the character of diet.
DO NOT continue in any ONE regular diet for a long period.
It doesn't matter so much WHAT, as the changes.
The conditions to bring about the better vibrations would be
found in preparing such as this, or this in particular.
Either prepare these from the essence, or tincture, or from
the properties in their original state. In THIS preparation,
then, would be as this: First we would prepare:
To 8 ounces of distilled water, add 3 ounces Wild Cherry Bark
(Good season of the year to gather same). Reduce by
simmering (not boiling) to 1/2 the quantity - see?
Then add those properties as would be in tincture, or as
would be in original, with the 3 ounces Wild Cherry Bark.
Add:
Sarsaparilla Root...........1 ounce,
Prickly Ash Bark............1 ounce,
Dogfennel...................1 ounce,
Yellow Dock Root............1 ounce.
Reduce by simmering (not boiling) - when these are added to
1/2 gallon of water - to one-half the quantity. Strain while
warm and add 2 ounces of grain alcohol, with 1 dram Balsam of
Tolu cut in same. Adding to this (after this has been cut
and added to solution) 3 minims Oil of Peppermint and 3
minims Oil of Sassafras.
Shake the solution well to-gether before the dose is taken.
The dose would be teaspoonful an hour before each meal. Do
not over eat, nor do not eat much between meals - but change
the diet from day to day - see?
Do that. Ready for questions.
Were the tincture added of either or any of these to the
first solution as would be prepared in that of the cherry
bark with the sugar (which would be 2 ounces added to same),
we would add in tincture, or in syrup of Sarsaparilla
Compound, 1/4 ounce of the OTHERS in solution in the same
proportion.
We are through for the present.
BACKGROUND
8/27 He had his Life Rdg.
5/31/28 Letter: "I am sure that I will get help if I
follow out the reading." [He had indicated previously in
conversation that his main trouble was night-sweats which
were very weakening.]
REPORTS
GD's memo: [
641]'s mother reported that he had always had a
weak stomach, could not eat just any and everything as the
other children could. Notice his Life Rdg. [
641-1,
8/29/27]
which indicated he had prenatal [or karmic] tendencies
towards weaknesses of the digestion. The above treatment was
followed, the night-sweats disappeared, also the headaches,
tiredness and disagreeable reactions, and his adolescent
years were normal.
1/06/34 He referred his young friend, Mr. [
479], for a rdg.
8/22/34 See
641-3, a vocational guidance reading in which
advice was volunteered re. a nasal catarrhal condition.
