TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1003].
2. Now, as we find, there are disturbing conditions in the physical functioning of the body. These have been somewhat of long standing, but have come to acute conditions in the present.
3. There are the disturbances in the eliminations of the body, and the effects that have been produced in the circulation and the activities of same.
4. As we find, there are those conditions in the ascending colon that are in the form not only of an engorgement but in the way of producing - because of the portion - toxic forces to the system.
5. Hence we have in the superficial circulation a tendency for a rash that is the effect of the poisons or toxic forces being carried through same. At times there is the effect of a rash, at others streaks, and at others spots. These, as we find, show in various portions of the body, and especially where emunctory and the superficial circulation's activity is for the greater effect in the body.
6. Also in the lower extremities we find the veins themselves show engorgements, that are the effect of a pressure in the coccyx area; produced by a lumbar disorder.
7. And these combined with the poisons in the system make for these conditions.
8. In the present, the inflammation tending towards the caecum area is that to be most mindful of; though with the corrections of the pressure in these areas, and with the adjustments in the lumbar and coccyx area, these conditions should disappear.
9. We would first, then, begin with the painting of the area over the lower caecum and the ascending colon with three parts of Laudanum to one part of Aconite. Then apply the Castor Oil Packs over same. This should be kept up continually for four or five hours. Then give a soda enema, a colonic - using the high colonic irrigation, as far as may be attained; not to cause too great a quantity at the time, but a tablespoonful of baking soda to each quart of water used.
10. This then should be repeated on the morrow, in the same way and manner.
11. Then we would have, after the second of the irrigations and the applications of the Oil Packs, an adjustment in the lumbar and in the sacral and coccyx area, and coordinate same with the 9th dorsal and solar plexus and the brachial plexus area.
12. Do not allow temperature to arise. If so, inflammation will have set in sufficiently to necessitate operative forces. However, if these will be followed in the present - with the diet consisting of fruit juices, a little beef juice - and keeping the body quiet, these should - without irritation - relieve these pressures in the body.
13. Ready for questions.
14. (Q) What causes the dizziness?
    (A) Toxic forces and the pressure on the area to the liver, and the lack of the secretions of the gall duct and gall area.
    After the third day, it would be well for large quantities of Olive Oil to be taken - a half a cupful of Olive Oil.
15. (Q) What causes the swollen vein in leg?
    (A) As indicated.
16. (Q) How many adjustments and how often should they be taken?
    (A) Three to six should be sufficient; these taken every day until three are taken, and then the others later, dependent upon the reactions to the body of those applications indicated.
17. (Q) Is this condition what is known as appendicitis?
    (A) Any inflammation may be termed appendicitis. The condition in the present is ABOVE the appendix area, and may be seen or felt by the examination of the ascending colon - which lies between the lacteal ducts and the caecum on the right side, you see.
    If the stoppage makes for too great an inflammation in the appendicial area, then it would necessitate that more of those measures be taken that would prevent activities becoming so acute as to cause gangrenous conditions.
    At the present, as we find, it is not indicated that the appendix is involved so much in the condition.
    Do these, as we have indicated, and we would find the better conditions for this body, [1003].
18. We are through for the present.
