TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1074].
2. Now, as we find, there are rather those inclinations that exist, that produce disturbing conditions at times. And the correction of these in the present would eliminate the disturbances and prevent other or greater disturbances later on. For portions of the body functioning under disturbing conditions tend to create tendencies that may become either as static conditions in a functioning organ, or become constitutional derangements through the physical functioning of the body.
3. These, as we find, arise from more of a specific nature; though the effects are at times distributed through the system.
4. Then, these are the conditions as we find them with this body, [1074] we are speaking of, present in this room:
5. First, IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, it is indicated that there are some disturbances to a portion of the circulation, especially as to the head, the organs of the sensory system, through a MINOR (at present) impingement that exists in the secondary cardiac plexus area, or in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th dorsal center.
6. From these tendencies as produced by this condition, the deflection of the circulation then to the head - as through the soft tissue of the face and to the antrum, to the nasal passages at times - gives a disturbing condition to the system. This lack of a complete circulation makes for a drawing upon the superficial activity, thus forming at times the irritations by tissue becoming somewhat dry - by the exposure, as it were, to the activities of the breathing, or the passages becoming somewhat disturbed by those activities of the normal forces.
7. Hence an excess of elimination being required, a disturbance is formed to the throat - through sympathetic irritation. The same do we have through portions of the bronchi and larynx, that at times become involved in the disturbances. Yet we find the causes of these arise from the condition existent in the cerebrospinal system, that makes for a coordination there with the sympathetic circulation for the sensory nervous forces of the body itself.
8. These at times, or if allowed to remain, may produce a disturbance to the auditory forces; for sympathetically these would involve the Eustachian's activity. Thus they would tend to make for an activity first of the body's being required, as it were, to open the mouth for the more perfect hearing. So, through the same form of disturbance, there would be produced that which has been indicated in soft tissue of head.
9. Through this disturbance, or lack of proper flow through impulses as received along the nerve centers and plexus and ganglia for the deeper circulation to all portions of the system, the organs of assimilation are affected; through the inactivity of the circulation to those portions of the body. Thus there is caused a sympathetic, not an organic disturbance.
10. In the activities, then, of the NERVE FORCES themselves:
11. As indicated, here do we find the cause of the disturbances in this body; through a condition in the areas indicated, in the upper dorsal centers. Thus there is a nerve reflex to many portions of system through nervous reaction, causing at times a lack of proper secretion through the activity of the thyroids. For these naturally become involved from the very position or nature of the impingement as indicated; NERVOUS reaction through same. At times there is sufficient or a quantity of reaction through the thyroids, at others there is a lesser quantity.
12. Hence we have periods through the nerve system when the body becomes, as it were, rather jumpy to noises or to undue excitement, or to those conditions that might be as worriments to the body. These are reflexes through the sympathetic or vegetative forces of the nerve system itself.
13. The deeper activity of this pressure upon the lower portion of the nerve forces of the system makes for a condition that may be said to exist in the katabolism, rather than the metabolism of the system - though the latter may become more and more disturbed if there are not corrections, or if there is not a balance created for a more perfect coordination.
14. Hence we find through the katabolism of the system that the organs of the liver, the kidneys, become SYMPATHETICALLY involved. For these make for a sympathetic reaction to the nerve forces of the bodily functions themselves.
15. IN THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, brain forces and their reactions to the nominal conditions are very good. The mental forces are above the normal pertaining to detail activity, for this body. It desires, as it were, to ANALYZE every condition, every experience that it may have.
16. As to the activities from the sensory forces: The eyes, ears, nose, feelings, voice, all of these - as indicated - become sympathetically involved, from those disturbances in the structural portion and nerve forces, as indicated.
17. In the throat, bronchi, lungs, larynx - as given, these become more or less involved, depending upon how much there is or how effective is the drying effect to the mucous membranes in the soft tissue as to involve the throat, the bronchi and the lungs. For the lungs are not organically disturbed; neither are there indications of other than some cellular forces in same becoming irritated - though no form of activity is there other than as we find sympathetically involved.
18. As to the heart's activity, the pulse is a little bit quick at times. The blood pressure, or the activity through the heart's action, for the metabolism of the system, in most conditions is near normal. It would be found at times to vary somewhat.
19. The activities through the digestive forces, as indicated, become disturbed sympathetically; yet no organic condition nor any other condition do we find that would make for disturbances if corrections would be made and the balances created through the gland activity that is disturbed at times. With pressures removed from the circulatory forces, the conditions that are sympathetic from the disturbances in the katabolism - or the system through the liver functioning and the kidney association with same - would become more to a normal force of activity.
20. Hence, in MEETING THE NEEDS of the system, then, as we find in the present:
21. There is the necessity of creating a balance, of making for coordination of the bodily functioning of the hepatic circulation, with the deeper circulation through the heart and the lungs and the respiratory system in its entirety. This is the main condition, then, to be brought to a more normal force of activity.
22. Hence we would make those corrections in the secondary cardiac area, as indicated, by the centers being MOVED. Not in such a manner as to make CORRECTIONS, or what may be termed corrections; yet there must be adjustments made through the 4th, 5th, 3rd and 2nd dorsal centers. Also coordinate the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th cervicals WITH the upper dorsal area. This would be done through osteopathic adjustments, but WE find that the application of a damp heat before making such adjustments would be much more preferable. For this then would stimulate not only the deeper circulation but enable the manipulator or adjuster to COORDINATE the superficial and the deeper circulations at the TIME of making adjustments.
23. Also, not every day but occasionally, we would find it most beneficial to take Calcidin. For there are tendencies in the bodily functionings that cause the body at times to become susceptible to cold, congestion; causing the shivery feelings, the tendency for the nostril and the soft tissue to become inflamed somewhat - from those disturbances as indicated. To be sure, the Calcidin is a combination of iodine and calcium. The effect upon the system is first to make for an allaying of those tendencies for inflammation in the mucous membranes of the throat and the lungs themselves. And both the calcium and the iodine activative in the system become effective upon the functioning of the organs that have been indicated as being under disturbance; and the glands of the thyroid particularly. Calcidin in its combination, as we find, is a correct balance for adding the principles to keep the normal metabolism as well as to make for those influences in the system for the more or nearer perfect functioning of the body itself.
24. Naturally, when adjustments are made, there should be the manipulations in both of the axes; that is, the 1st and 2nd cervical and the lumbar axis, to make coordinations with the general drainages of the bodily functionings. For there also would be manipulations over the nostril, the face, the head, where the nerve centers enter those portions from the superficial activity. The stimulation to the deeper circulation along the cerebrospinal system will then coordinate with the superficial circulation as to influence the proper drainages throughout the system.
25. In the matter of the diets, keep to those things that will - with the influences as given - add to the creating of not too much of the potash but more of the iodines. Not too much of those things that are ALTOGETHER of the alkalin nature, but those that create a normal balance between the acids and alkalines. But DO NOT combine at any time, in the meals, quantities of sugar and quantities of starch at the same meal; for these would - with the tendencies in the system - work hardships upon the functioning not only of the organs that are sympathetically disturbed, but upon the glands of the body. These the body understands; that is, the food values. Then, consider those things necessary, using same in the combinations as to make for normalcy.
26. Ready for questions.
27. (Q) What is the cause of the daily three P.M. headaches?
    (A) Consider the activities of the secondary cardiac plexus as a cycle of activity. It has been indicated as to how various functionings of the body become disturbed by the cycle of activity.
    Then these under the pressure that has been indicated cause a continued daily return of the attempt to create a balance, producing a pressure that makes for those disturbances - the incoordination between the deep circulation and the superficial circulation, as we have indicated in the head. That is how or why the nerve influences from the superficial portion to the head and the internal should be coordinated, when the manipulative forces are given.
    These are the attempts of the body-functioning, then, to create a normal balance - or throwing out resistances that may become helpful in the disturbance.
28. (Q) Is there any tuberculosis in the body?
    (A) No tuberculosis; no form of the germ of same in the body, either through the circulatory forces or through any of the activities of the other portions of the body. For the structural portions of the body itself are such that with a nominal balance in assimilations, with the removal of the pressures indicated, they will create a normal balance in the red blood, the leucocyte and the lymph or white blood cells themselves.
    These kept in balance, there may NOT be not leucocytes sufficient in number to become destructive to any type of the tubercle that might enter. These influences, of course, continue to enter every body; but remember, with the alkalinity of the system kept nominal not only will cold be prevented but any infectious forces will be prevented from finding hold - save, of course, fevers.
29. (Q) Any other advice for the body at this time?
    (A) Keep the mental attitude in a constructive manner. Know within self that the physical elements may be builded; that the Mind is the Builder; that the manner in which the spiritual influences and forces may act upon the system builds that which is held in the deeper mental force. Keep it, then, CONSTRUCTIVE! Do not think negatively.
30. We are through for the present.
