Now, as we find, there are disturbing factors in the better
physical forces of the body. These, as we find, have to
do with hindrances that have existed in the equilibrium
of the body; especially as to the secondary cardiac area.
And through this there have gradually arisen those factors
that have allowed the accumulations of poisons in the system,
which - weakening the body - allow infectious forces through
the respiratory system, especially in the upper portion in
the left lobe, and make for a distressed area. These
conditions are in their incipiency or beginning, as we
find, so that - with the correct balance being brought
about, and the building up of the blood supply, the nerve
energies, the resistances, keeping an equal balance between
the hepatic circulation and the heart's activity - they may
be not only checked but eradicated entirely from the system.
These, then, are conditions as we find them with this body,
[
929] we are speaking of:
The BLOOD SUPPLY indicates there are infectious forces active
in the body, and the portion of the system affected is also
indicated from the manner of reaction made in liver and
kidneys. The manner in which there is the respiratory
reaction of the blood supply indicates the characterization
of same, yet at present it is not indicated in but a very
small portion of the lung itself.
We find that the NERVOUS FORCES of the body indicate more
the weakness, the fatigue, that comes on with the overacidity
that naturally arises from a weakened blood supply, a slow
elimination, a disturbance in the hepatics. This all tends
to make for superacidity in the body, and makes for depletion
in the nervous forces of the body.
As to the ORGANS of the body, we find:
Brain forces are very good.
Throat, bronchi, lungs, larynx - as indicated from the
positions of the reactions in the respiratory or lung area,
there is in the secondary cardiac area - or in the 4th dorsal
area - a subluxation. It is not a great one, but to the
side - and in such a manner that it has disturbed the
vegetative or sympathetic nervous system. Thus it has
slowed up the activity of the superficial circulation or
circulatory force as it coordinates with the central nervous
system for the flow of the blood supply to the upper portion
of the lungs themselves. This has allowed an area, then,
to become disturbed by the poor circulation through same.
The heart's activity indicates at times the very slow
temperature (mornings and evenings at times) by the increased
activity of the blood in its attempt to meet the needs and
the inroads upon the activities in the blood stream itself.
We have, then, a low red blood cell, with AT TIMES an excess
of white while at others low; the attempt of the leucocyte
to meet the needs and yet breaking down at times, for there
is the inability to create proper coagulation at all times
owing to the disturbance produced by the slowed circulation
in the activity of the hemoglobin.
The digestive system shows a tendency for the body NOT to
assimilate. Hence the superacidity from poor assimilation
as well as from an unbalancing in its diet and in its
activities for the system.
There is a very cold or low hepatic circulation; some
disturbance through the liver and through the kidneys at
times. These kept near normal will almost OF THEMSELVES
gradually eliminate the condition!
Hence, in meeting the needs of the conditions, as we would
find, these would be well:
First, it is well that the body not overtax itself. This
does not necessarily mean that the body would put itself to
bed; but the body should rest - and that in the open air and
the sunshine a great deal.
And we would, either chiropractically or osteopathically,
make corrections of those subluxations that exist in the
dorsal area as indicated. It would be better for these
treatments to be kept for three to four weeks at a time,
then a rest period of leaving them off for a week or two,
and then begin again; continuing in this manner for a period
of four to five months.
We would build the body up. Take the food values that make
for BODY-BUILDING, but let them be rather alkalin-reacting.
Or, an outline for the diet would be:
Mornings - citrus fruit juices; these we would have EACH
morning. Either orange juice with lemon, lime juice with
orange, the grapefruit juices or the pulp itself may be
taken; pineapple juices. Whole wheat toast, coddled egg;
and AT TIMES a small portion of VERY CRISP bacon.
In the middle of the morning we would have a malted milk
with a whole egg (white AND yellow) in same, but this should
be beaten very thoroughly, you see. And a few drops or a
teaspoonful of PURE apply brandy should be added to same.
Noons - chicken broth, or chicken, or broiled liver or tripe,
or things of such natures; not too much of same, but those
that are body and blood building. These may be had either
with the uncut (unpolished) rice or with the other cereals
or grains that may be used with such; that is, in the soups
or broths. Not too much grease, but plenty of those things
that make for the body-building.
In the middle of the afternoon we would have two ounces of
RED wine, using with same ONLY the BLACK bread, or sour
bread, or rye bread.
Evenings - a well-cooked, well-balanced vegetable diet.
Be sure the eliminations are kept normal, either by the
adjustments and corrections chiropractically or
osteopathically, or by the use of the colonic irrigations.
Once or twice a day it would be well for the body to inhale
into the LUNGS the FUMES (not the juice, but the FUMES) from
the distillation that arises from evaporation of pure apple
brandy in a charred keg. It is preferable that half a gallon
of the apple brandy (pure) be put in a gallon to a gallon and
a half or two gallon keg - charred keg. Prepare this with
a tube in same that may be corked when not in use. Keep
where the evaporation will go on and form in the space above
same. Inhale the fumes through the tube, much as smoke would
be inhaled, deep into the lungs - once or twice a day. The
frequency of the inhaling will be governed by the reaction.
In the beginning only one or two whiffs may be taken. A
little bit later, as the conditions are bettered, two, three
or four may be taken. But do this once or twice each day.
If the body will do these, follow these suggestions, we
will find it will build up.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Would it be well for the body to go to the hospital?
(A) It is not well for it to be CONFINED in a hospital!
It should be in the open; not too much of the sunshine,
but CLOSE to sunshine - shaded sufficient.
These treatments will not require hospitalization; for,
if the precautions and suggestions given will be followed,
in six months the body should be normal and well!
(Q) If these suggestions are followed, where would be the
best place for him?
(A) Where it is the most CONGENIAL for the body; around
cheerful friends and those conditions where he may be in the
open. Not in the night air, but in the open a great deal.
(Q) Should the wife work, or be near him?
(A) She may work if she so desires. The only requirements
are that those things be prepared for him in the manner as
indicated.
Do that.
(Q) In what way may his sister, [
310], aid in bringing about
his recovery?
(A) Most by insisting upon and keeping the cheerful
attitudes when about or where the body may know of same;
that is so necessary in such conditions.
We are through for the present.
