IN THE NERVOUS SYSTEM, OR SYSTEMS, here we find rather the
seat or the cause of the disorders. While the conditions
that have RESULTED have been more to the functioning organs -
as of digestion, assimilation, elimination, pulmonary
elimination, capillary circulation to the organs of the head
themselves, these are results rather than the causes of the
conditions. There has existed for a period - changed, as
given, by the development - or through administrations for
the benefit of the physical organism - conditions in the
lumbar and sacral region that are the cause or the seat of
the troubles, and the pressures as produced in impulses to
the various portions of system have brought and do bring
about those conditions that are detrimental or harmful to the
normal DEVELOPMENT of the body, physically and mentally -
though, as we will find, the mental attributes of the body
are and will be - unless under greater distress than
indicated in the present - rather the exceptional and ABOVE
the normal, than below. The pressures existent in the
lumbar and the sacral region make with the sympathetic
system an incoordination whenever there is a cycle of
development between the system as related to the physical
assimilations in body. Hence the effect that is produced in
the kidney area at times, again in the digestive system, as
to make for a small orifice in the pyloric end of the
stomach itself, tending to make for an improper position of
same. This makes for the torpidity that is seen in liver;
the pancreas become over active and the spleen engorged.
These are natural results of the lymph and emunctory
circulation at the height of such depressions, for they
cause - as it were - a spasmodic activity of the
assimilating system, which affects - then - the liver, the
spleen, the pancreas, the duodenum in its activity, and
especially engorging those GLANDS of the lacteals. Hence
the acidity that is commonly seen in a system becomes
magnified in this condition.
In the outward appearances that may be seen, as indicate
these conditions:
That rigidity that is seen in the upper cervicals, in the
nape of the neck itself, and that existent in the upper
sacral region as to the indentations - or as DIMPLES, even,
in the conditions in the body, just above the hips
themselves, or the hip points. These are OUTWARD
manifestations of those EXISTENT lesions that exist, that
PRODUCE the disorders - or are the causes of the disorders
in the system. The incoordination here, in the lower end of
the cerebro-spinal system, and the attempt of the
sympathetic system to do that activity of the impulses as
carried through the nerve forces, makes for the tendency for
hallucinations in the nerve reflexes to the functioning
system, JUST as a muscle or nerve that becomes taut or
tightened produces an impulse of inactivity or overactivity
in another direction.
IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, in the brain
forces, as indicated, the impulse and the coordination of
reflexes are hindered at times - yet the DEVELOPMENTS, unless
changed - or if made more IN ACCORDANCE, will make for an
ABOVE normal MENTAL development.
In the organs of the sensory system - only at periods, when
there is an overactivity in the central nervous system - from
either that of an exceeded pulsation - do these find any
defect. No organic or functional disorder, save as spasmodic
conditions may produce in the system.
Throat, bronchials, lungs, larynx - these we find,
ORGANICALLY, show normalcy; though, in an excessive activity
in the emunctories and the lymph circulation, these OFTEN
produce an over abundance of eliminations through these
channels, in the form of phlegm, or irritation in the organs
affected; making it easy for the contraction of cold, or for
the tendency of hot or cold flushes, or sweats at night.
In the digestive system - here, as we find - as has been
outlined - there are those disorders that result from, NOT a
cause OF distresses for the system; though the distresses
often show their effects in the functioning of organs and the
attempt of digestion in the system when seemingly those
things or properties given HAVE agreed, suddenly disagree.
Heart's action, save under the stress, near normal - and a
tendency of a quick pulsation.
Liver, spleen, pancreas - these show for those distresses
that are seen through or under the functioning of the nerve
reflexes at times, when an overactivity of the body - an
overactivity either through physical OR mental - may make for
an over abundance of impulses without an outlet for same.
The hepatic circulation - abnormal, in that the variation in
the kidneys and the liver shows for this effect of the
pressures in lumbar and sacral area.
In meeting, then, the needs of this DEVELOPING body - for the
developments must be taken into consideration, yet not so
wholly relied upon as to feel that the growth will make for
normalcy without proper impulses from all radial forces as
affect the system, especially as to those conditions when the
digestion - and especially assimilating system, WITH the
poles - as it were - of the body - are affected in same.
These corrected, through the removal of the pressures in the
lumbar, sacral and the lower dorsal area - keeping the system
in an even balance THROUGHOUT the body, keeping those proper
vibratory forces in system as will make for the proper
coordination - both as to nerve impulses and as to
coordinating system, with the proper coordination between
sympathetic and cerebro-spinal established - we will bring,
WITH the development, a normalcy to this body. These we will
find by the use of the proper adjustments, with the attaching
of the vibratory forces in system that will keep an
equilibrium, and by watching closely the diet as the body
develops in its building.
The diet should be those that are of easy assimilation, but
well balanced as to all of the vitamins NECESSARY to the
developing system - especially those that will make for
vitamins A, C, and D. These will be found to be made most
effective by those vibrations from the Infra Red lights, for
THEY will work more with the structural portions of the body
- from which the red blood cells or red blood corpuscles
receive their impulse for proper building and proper balance.
These we would add at least TWICE each week, keeping as much
of the vital forces that may be gained from sunshine and air
as possible. Ready for questions.
(Q) What treatments and where, and how often should they be
given?
(A) As indicated - the manipulation and adjustment, that
will relieve those pressures which have been indicated to
exist - and that may be seen and found in the sacral, the
pelvic, the dorsal and the lumbar regions. These treatments
we would give at least TWICE, or three times each week - ONE
only during the week being an adjustment. At LEAST ONCE each
week the Infra Red lights, for the structural portions of the
body. The vibrations for equalization would be from the
Radio-Active Appliance (plain), making a circle of the body,
and this would be given when the body is made or induced to
rest - preferably during the day - for at least one-half hour
in the beginning. The diets - these should be looked after
day by day, meeting the various changes. These, as we find,
would be the proper methods.
(Q) What can take the place of Infra Red light where it is
not available?
(A) The more sunshine will take SOME place, but the Infra
Red is needed more for structural portions. While it has
ordinarily been given that the ultra violet is beneficial,
and the greater or better ultra violet is the sun itself - so
that the rays are not obstructed - but these do not make for
as PENETRATING for the bone structure itself, for the
bone covering itself, IN a DEVELOPING body, as will the Infra
Red light. This we would arrange to give at least once each
week, anyway.
(Q) Baby [
1149] has vomited very frequently since he was six
months old. What is the cause and remedy of this?
(A) This produced by that pressure existent in the lumbar
region, which causes - as outlined - that closing of the
orifice of the stomach itself in pyloric end, which causes
the stomach to regurgitate or throw UPWARD - rather than to
cause the system to carry through for proper digestion. At
such periods there is seen that little or no digestion takes
place. The lacteals are formed rather into acids and these
produce a bubbling up, closing of the orifice in the pyloric
end, and throwing off in the upper portion; or, through the
contraction of the pyloric end, the opening in the cardiac
end becomes as a loosened bag, and the natural tendency is -
even as the body, if it will stoop forward very quickly,
makes for a dizziness, and a tendency to go forward - see?
When we remove these pressures in the system, that exist in
the lumbar and sacral, we will find that the orifice will
function in a near normal manner. Don't expect it to happen
in a day! but it is a GROWTH in a body, and will gradually
be on the improve.
(Q) What is the cause and remedy of the poor appetite all
his life?
(A) This the same condition. When assimilation does not
take place, and foods DO NOT pass into the system for
assimilation or digestion, there is a FULLNESS in the system,
or stomach - yet the stomach itself is SMALLER than ordinary.
The remedy will be the correction of the lesions that prevent
this passage, that causes the tendency for temperature, the
inactivity in the liver, and these - we will find - will
relieve the disorder.
(Q) What is the cause and remedy of nervousness he has had
all his life?
(A) This is indicated from the pressures, as given. These
have been very closely outlined, as an incoordination between
sympathetic and cerebro-spinal system. This another effect,
NOT a cause - an EFFECT from pressure in the lumbar and
sacral region.
(Q) Was his recent appendicitis operation necessary?
(A) No.
(Q) Will he be improved by it?
(A) He will be improved by it rather by the act of the
system's being allowed to DRAIN itself, than the tendency of
it being of material benefit - unless the drainages of the
system and the adjustments of those pressures that are really
PRODUCING this disorder are taken advantage of.
(Q) He has had a pain in his stomach before and after his
operation, about six months. What is the cause and remedy?
(A) The same as outlined. This rather in the region of the
lacteal ducts than the stomach itself - the small opening in
the orifice, or the small orifice of the pyloric end,
tightened by the muscular forces, by the pressure existent
in the lumbar and sacral. An upper reflex from the centers
known as the solar plexus, or the solar plexus and the 4th
lumbar plexus coordinant in the region of the lower portion
of liver, or the lacteal duct center, produce this
tightening here.
(Q) What is the cause and remedy of his sucking his thumb?
(A) This not an unnatural condition, when there is the
desire in the body for a gratifying of an appetite that is
not appeased by those NORMAL developments in the body. The
remedy will be to correct the condition for normalcy and the
gradual growing out of same. This business of doctoring the
thumbs or giving things to prevent, is foolish!
(Q) How long will it be before he is a normal child in
development?
(A) From nine to fourteen months would bring a normal
development, were these adhered to, with the changes made -
or that are to be necessary with a developing body.
(Q) He seems undernourished and subnormal in growth. What
is the cause and remedy.
(A) This has been given. This has been indicated as to how,
why - for he IS undernourished, for the system's attempting
to meet the needs of the conditions! That's why these
outward appearances show how that, UNLESS corrections are
made, there will be pones along the back of the neck - there
will be conditions in the lower portion of the spine itself
as to make for inactivity in the lumbars. These are OUTWARD
appearances that will develop unless corrections are made.
Do that.
(Q) What is condition of his blood?
(A) This has been given. The change in the diets that will
be necessary for the assimilation. Do not over feed, but do
not under feed the body. Keep the vitamins necessary well
BALANCED. Those applications of Infra Red add vitamin C a
great deal better than will any food values, for these are
created (which is as of stamen itself) - that ability within
the body to store energy and vitality, to prevent abnormal
activities when impulses to sympathetics are manifested.
Hence the application. Do this. We are through for the
present.
