TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1029].
2. Now, as we find, there are conditions that would be rather described as warnings. Not that these have assumed such proportions as to be disturbing as yet, save in reflex manners. But if taken in the present these may be rather easily eliminated from the system, thus making for a normal condition and preventing these conditions getting in such a state as to become either constitutional or even as functional disturbances.
3. We find that these have to do with the eliminations in the system, and the effects that have been and are produced.
4. Then, these are the conditions as we find them with this body, [1029] we are speaking of, present in this room:
5. THE BLOOD SUPPLY, as we find, indicates a nominal reaction in most of the periods of circulation. While there ARE in same the indications of the nature and position of disturbances, these do not hinder from keeping a nominal balance in NUMBERS in the blood cellular force; neither have they hindered as yet in circulation, save where conditions have become rather segregated - as through the sphincter reactions in a portion of the colon, or through the eliminations in the body-forces themselves.
6. IN THE NERVE FORCES OF THE BODY, these we find very good in the responses to the general reactions between cerebrospinal and sympathetic forces. Yet there are tendencies of the disturbance where there is carried at times, through those conditions that exist in the lumbar area or through a portion of the colon itself, the effect to the sympathetic or the superficial circulation. Thus a catarrhal condition, as it were, makes its appearance in soft tissues in portions of the system. This is a natural accumulation from poor eliminations, as it may be said, or the activity of that within the body where there are insufficient elements or forces to carry throughout the circulatory system the distribution of eliminations through their normal or proper channels.
7. IN THE ORGANS THEMSELVES OF THE BODY, brain forces are very good; their reactions sympathetically are very good.
8. The activities through the organs of the sensory forces, save as indicated, we find are very good; yet these very hindrances as indicated to the lymph and superficial circulation at times produce some anxiety. However, these are only reflex forces.
9. The lungs, the bronchi and the larynx are very good in their reactions.
10. Lung forces indicate that disturbances through eliminations makes for periods when congestions in the lower lobes make for heaviness, and the easiness with which the body becomes "choked up," as it were, when there is the taking of cold - or at those periods when these reactions are apparent.
11. Heart's activity is good; normal in its coordination with the deeper organs of blood supply to the system.
12. Digestive forces become disturbed reflexly through those activities from an area in the transverse and descending colon, where there has been an indication of a prolapsus that allowed accumulations in the lymph circulation through the activity of the sphincter muscular forces in the eliminating system of the body. These produce, as indicated, a strain upon the body through the WHOLE of the digestive or assimilating forces; so that the activity through the gall duct area, the lacteal ducts especially, makes for an act of regurgitation and at times a burning sensation - as much in the intestinal system, as it were, as in the stomach or the upper digestive system.
13. These are, then, purely reflex conditions.
14. And if there are those applications to stimulate the system to supply the proper incentives from nerve plexus and from all those portions from which the various impulses are received - not only from blood flow but the stimulation for the reproduction of itself within the body, then such reflex conditions would not only be temporarily relieved but permanently in their activity. Thus we would remove those strains upon the kidneys, in the inflammation produced by accumulations. Then a change would be produced in the manner in which there is the activity of those forces, or the manner in which the fluids for the system act upon the hepatic circulation.
15. Then, we find the body would best respond to these applications; for those elements lacking may best be supplied in this manner:
16. We would use the low form of electrical forces that would be applied to the body through the galvanic or Wet Cell Appliance, carrying the Silver solution - a 10% Nitrate of Silver solution - the VIBRATIONS of same only carried to the body and through the system by such low electrical forces.
17. The attachments would be made as follows:
18. The copper plate or pole, first attached, would be to the 4th LUMBAR center.
19. The nickel plate (negative), last attached, would be to the umbilicii center - but over the lacteal duct area; and would be the one through which the silver solution would pass.
20. The principle or activative force in such attachments is that the Nitrate of Silver solution would act as a stimuli to the properties assimilated in the system, creating that necessary balance carried through the electronic energies of the body to and through the areas that have been affected, and that become affected at times in the body at present.
21. Such vibrations from the Silver solution would be taken each day for periods not more than thirty minutes, preferably just before the body rests - or lies down to rest; just as the body lies down to rest. Make these attachments each day for three weeks. Then rest from same a week. Then make the attachments for a week or two weeks again; and then rest again. Then when necessary - either through the spectic (?) reactions that occur or recur, or through those conditions that make for headaches that arise from toxic forces in the system - or the pains through the lower portion of the intestinal system, use again for a few weeks.
22. Also once a month for one to two months, and then at varying periods (for we would find times when these would not be necessary), we would relieve those distresses in the colon through the use of the high colonics that would be given in such a manner as to not merely dilate the colon for the cleansing of same but to PURIFY the activities of the circulation through same.
23. So, in giving such colonics we would use the Soda and Salt solution followed with an alkalin antiseptic such as Glyco-Thymoline in quantities not as to make for astringent reaction - but in this way:
24. In the first cleansing solution the proportions would be a level teaspoonful of table salt with a HEAPING teaspoonful of baking soda, to the gallon and a half of water.
25. In the last rinsing or antiseptic solution we would use a tablespoonful of the Glyco-Thymoline to half a gallon of water.
26. These would be taken as indicated, and not so often as to become irritating to the system.
27. It would be well also for the body to take time to have WORKOUTS occasionally through the hydrotherapy activities.
28. These we would do, and we will find we will make for near normal conditions and RID the body of much that disturbs it occasionally.
29. Ready for questions.
30. (Q) What makes my tongue irritated occasionally?
    (A) The same reflex forces that arise - as the burning sensation in the stomach - from what may be called the radial reflex activity through the system; or symptoms of a disturbed condition internally.
31. (Q) Is my impaction causing any system poisoning?
    (A) It causes system poisoning at times. Hence as indicated it is well to be rid of same, that these toxic forces do not make for greater hindrances. For toxic forces become heavy upon both poles of the hepatic circulation; or on the heart, on kidneys and on the liver; so that eventually one or the other must give way under strain, unless the condition is corrected.
32. (Q) What would be the best climate for my health, and where?
    (A) As we find, the climatic conditions in the WEST are better fitted to the body. However, the BODY-constitutional conditions CAN be attuned to most any reaction.
    Or, as the body of the physical forces in man becomes more easily adjusted to any environmental forces or the environments of the activities physically and mentally; PHYSICALLY the bodily-forces adjust themselves more readily by activities of the vegetables, fruits, and the viands for the body from that portion of the land in which the body resides.
    In the present, LITTLE of that which naturally attunes with this body may be added in the nominal form or manner, see? that is, in the way of the necessary elements for keeping bodily equilibrium. Hence the NECESSITY of adding to the system that which constitutionally adapts itself TO the lacks, or to the loss of influences necessary for the physical organism to adapt itself (that is, through the vibrations created or produced in the body through use of the Wet Cell Appliance carrying the Silver solution as indicated).
    Yet a western climate would be that environment in which not only would the body be able to adjust itself better through the food values, but through the natural climatic conditions, the natural pressures, the natural lack of sudden changes - that the body is susceptible to at times.
33. (Q) Would I be more healthful and happier out of the newspaper business?
    (A) The news, or the associations regarding the news are so much a portion of the whole being out of the business would hardly create an environ that would make for better conditions or mental reactions. Of course, various FORMS of the same might be changed - but never entirely away from that activity.
    Do these things as indicated. Do not follow same halfheartedly and expect results. But follow these treatments systematically, being sincere with those things suggested; and we will find not only a better reaction physically but the RESISTANCES will be builded, that naturally become necessary for the mental reactions and strains under which the mental activity of the body goes.
    For remember, Silver and Gold in their elements necessarily are as the cords in life-expression in the physical body.
34. We are through for the present.
