In the BLOOD SUPPLY we find the indications of those
disturbances by the lack of the eliminations in a normal
manner and those activities that disturb both in the upper
and the lower portions of the hepatic circulation, and the
character and the effect of those activities with the liver
as respecting this portion of the circulation. The pressure
that is made, or the metabolism, makes for a variation.
At times we would find it below normal, at others near to
normal, and at others in excess. This makes for this
changing when the body has those feelings as of a thumping,
as it were, or a pulsating through the system; and at other
times there is the dull, draggy feeling; the fullness in
throat, tendency to swallow without there being any
perceptible condition for making the disturbances. These
arise from this alteration or the changes in the
circulation, and in the manner the axes - and the centers
through which there are these activities - make their
circulatory influence through the extremities of the body.
Hence we find times when even the arms and hands feel dull
or heavy, and cold when the rest of the system will be warm;
at other periods we will find the lower extremities feeling
full. These are the effects, as we find, of the condition
through the whole of the intestinal system - like CATARRHAL
conditions. This also makes for those disturbances in the
eliminations through the alimentary canal; the feelings at
times through the torso and through the abdominal area of
the swelling, at others the feeling as of something pulling
inside - or in the right side, then again it is across the
abdomen. This is the effect of these conditions, that are
the after effects of the deep cold - or the settling, or
influenza in the mucous membranes of the intestinal system,
especially along those centers or areas that make for the
feeding to the activity in the system.
The NERVOUS FORCES of the system, as may be indicated from
the effects of circulatory forces, at times are very good.
We find in the cerebrospinal system one specific center where
we have a lesion; minor lesion in the present but this will
continue to make for more exaggerated activity unless
corrected. This we find in the 8th and 9th dorsal center,
natural reflex to that heaviness which comes at times between
the shoulders and upper portion of the neck - or lower
portion of the neck and to the upper portion; at times that
heaviness across the hips or along the small of the back or
the lumbar plexus. These are sympathetic conditions; a
contraction, and with poisons as left in the system at times
makes for the muscular reaction that disturbs the body.
These conditions, to be sure, come and go. For there will be
periods or days when the body feels good, others when it is
just "so-so" and others when it is not so well at all. These
are the natural reactions in the nervous force or nervous
system. And there needs be first the corrections that will
make for such an increase in the circulatory forces of the
system, or those that will act with the body, as to CORRECT
the disturbing factors. And then we will find the system
will RESPOND in the general manner to a purified circulation
and relieved nerve tension, and the natural activity will be
for the proper resuscitation and the balance in the body.
As to the functioning of the ORGANS themselves, we find that
these only in their functioning make for distresses when - as
has been indicated - there are the reflexes through either
the lymph circulation or the nerve reaction from those more
specific conditions that exist in the intestinal system as a
system, not as the colon or the jejunum only - but the caecum
plexus, the ileum plexus, all suffer; as also does the lower
portion of the solar plexus, reacting to the disturbing
forces through the umbilicii reactory force.
Then, in meeting the needs of the conditions as we find,
first we would prepare this to be taken internally - the
ingredients to be combined in the order as given:
To 2 ounces of Strained Honey add 2 ounces of Distilled
Water, by letting it come almost to a boil. Then to this
solution, add:
Fluid Extract or Essence of Wild Ginseng
(not tame, but Wild Ginseng).............1/2 ounce,
Tincture or Essence of Indian Turnip.........20 minims,
Tincture of Stillingia......................1/4 ounce,
Lactated Pepsin, Essence of.................1/2 ounce,
Essence of Wild Ginger......................1/4 ounce.
Shake this solution together before the dose is taken, which
would be three times each day before the meals; half a
teaspoonful at the dose.
Then, during the same time the medicinal properties are being
taken, we would have those adjustments that will alleviate
the conditions in the brachial center, the solar plexus
center, the lumbar center, making the correction in the 8th
and 9th dorsal center as indicated.
In the diet we find it would be necessary to have those foods
that are body-building yet tending not to overcrowd the
system with food at any time. Be just a little bit hungry -
or you could eat more - when you leave the meal.
Mornings - principally either cereals with fruits or citrus
fruit juices (but do not have cereals and citrus fruits at
the same meal), stewed fruits or the like, with egg or whole
wheat toast - preferably only the yolk of the egg should be
taken. This we will find will be the better for the morning
meals, as an outline. Occasionally there may be taken crisp
bacon, if so desired; but no heavy meats at this meal.
Let one meal each day, either in the middle of the day or in
the evening, be ONLY of raw vegetables. Have this every day
for at least a two-week period at the time. It may consist
of any of the raw vegetables that may be combined with an oil
or a mayonnaise dressing. At the same meal there may be
taken the brown bread or the whole wheat cracker, or toast or
the like. Any of these may be taken whether in the noon meal
or the evening meal; PREFERABLY the noon meal. Then:
Evenings - well-cooked vegetables of the leafy variety are
preferable to those of the bulbular nature. Have at least
two to three leafy vegetables (such as any type of greens,
cabbage - especially red cabbage, spinach, mustard or string
beans) to one vegetable of the bulbular nature (such as peas,
carrots, beets, potatoes or the like). Little meats; only
fish, fowl or lamb. Occasionally there may be taken a steak,
PROVIDED this is WELL-done. And never eat any fried-foods!
But at each meal, save the morning meal, have either an apple
(this may be raw or it may be cooked, for this body), pear or
banana - any of these, just so they are WELL-ripened; not the
green nor those that have been stored too long.
Do these things, and we will find we will bring the normal
forces.
We would require at least fifteen to sixteen adjustments and
general manipulations. These should be in the beginning
about twice or three times a week, for two to three weeks,
and then gradually ease off with these.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Will the above treatment as suggested eliminate the
present condition of high blood pressure which at times is in
excess of 200?
(A) These treatments outlined will eliminate the conditions;
for, as has been given, this is a portion of the distress -
and arises from the condition through the colon.
ENEMAS are well, provided PROPERLY given. Once a month there
SHOULD be at least a high colonic.
(Q) What causes heart palpitation, weak sinking spells and
shortness of breath?
(A) As indicated, this disturbance in the circulation. This
is not organic, and arises from those conditions in the
leading nerve energies in the intestinal system. This arises
from an intestinal reaction from "flu." Not a heart
activity; though it may become so if these conditions are not
corrected. Through the thrombosis and the aorta artery and
the liver circulation, gradually it may be dilated to where
it may become an abnormalcy in the system!
(Q) What causes sick stomach shortly after eating, and
excess gas?
(A) The acidity that arises from the mucous that naturally
forms in the intestinal system. In the colon this may be
noted especially when there are the colonics for the removal
of these congested centers. This makes for a pressure in the
whole of the system.
(Q) Will the body have any more children?
(A) Possible! As we find, not any more.
We would follow those suggestions as indicated. Once a month
or twice a month in the beginning, have the irrigations, see?
but GENTLY given; not severe, and be sure there is the use of
the alkaline antiseptics for the intestinal system at the
time. But we will find, with these manipulations and
adjustments - and especially with the properties taken in the
system - ORDERLY - this condition will become normal.
We are through for the present.
