(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1151].
Now, as we find, while in many respects the general physical forces of the body are very good, there are those specific disturbances and conditions in the body the correction of which if made in the present - as we find - would relieve disturbing factors and would prevent disturbances later on.
These then are the conditions as we find them with this body, [1151] we are speaking of, present in this room:
First, IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find with a disturbing condition in same, arising from an unbalanced force in the elements that make up the influences in secretions from glandular forces as well as from those disturbances that are produced by improper or poor circulation through portions of the system owing to pressures existent in certain portions of the body - as will be indicated.
These elements and their lack of being created in the system are produced from lack of forces or influences from secretions in glandular forces as affected in times back by that which has produced about the glandular capsule a stricture, or as would be scar tissue from high temperatures in the body; leaving as it has, then, as marks through the activities.
In that the body replenishes itself nominally, or if there is the normal balance, those disturbances are lessened; or those influences that would remove the pressures that have hindered or do hinder the assimilations by the activities of the glandular forces would allow the body to assume or to renew itself through the normal or nominal activity.
That there is innate in each individual influence or force, as an entity and as a body, that which acts through the mental efficiencies as an additional influence in the system is true. Yet in each influence, in each force that is manifested, each works from or acts upon that realm of activity from which and through which its basic forces are taken. Not that mental healing or the application of such influences is less effective, but when there has been produced PHYSICALLY a physical disturbance or a pathological condition, the addition of other influences does not belie the activities of the mental and spiritual forces. But all force, all healing of ANY nature, is of ONE source; whether arising from elements created by the activity of mind upon matter in the body or from the raising of the vibrations in the system through activative forces within the body. These then are of the one source.
IN THE NERVE FORCES OF THE BODY, here we find, while the controls through the mental responses, the mental reflexes, are ABOVE normal, there are SPECIFIC disturbances in the physical forces also of the nerve impulse in the central nervous system, or that through which the impulse for activity upon the physical organisms activates in the body. For impulse and consciousnesses arise the greater through the awareness of the individual from the vegetative or sympathetic nerve system. The deeper impulses work, as it were, upon the impulses from that assimilated and activating from the deeper nerve system itself.
In the functionings then through these where pressures exist, as indicated, there is the lack of the impulse, from the pathological conditions existent; so that the normal flow is prevented. Hence a portion of the disturbances with the body. Hence through mechanical alleviation there may be brought to the body, not only in the mental reactions but in the physical also, a better coordination throughout the whole body.
For incoordination in the circulation from pressure upon impulse centers in the cerebrospinal system then becomes as a portion of the disturbance, as indicated in the body through the lumbar axis as well as the coccyx center and the ileum plexus. For these are as areas where there are specific pressures that deflect and thus prevent normal flows through extremities.
Also in the secondary cardiac plexus area we have THERE a form of lesion in the cerebrospinal; not so much in the sympathetic and vegetative, though this with corrections will become more sensitive to that variation and thus - as we will find - first a little irritation, as is at times arising from these disturbances to the throat, the bronchi, to the organs of the sensory system; specifically to the auditory forces and to the vision also. These are reflexes, though normal REFLEX in a sympathetic manner almost exists.
IN THE ORGANS THEMSELVES OF THE BODY, in the brain forces the discernments, and most of all the evaluations through the imaginative as well as the sympathetic impulses, are good. THESE are directed rather without than within.
In the organs of the sensory system, as has been indicated, there are deflections from the 2nd, 3rd and 4th dorsal centers TO the impulses to bronchi, larynx, soft tissue of the upper portion of the mouth, through the activities that are as reflexes in the supplying of circulation through the vagus center. But with corrections these should be made to act in a much nearer normal manner.
Lungs are very good, though disturbances have existed in the form of activities that hinder or contribute rather to the deflections in the cerebrospinal plexus that - aided by an unbalanced condition through the circulation from assimilated forces - vary. Hence rather a weakness exists than a specific disturbance.
In the digestive forces as related to heart's activity and circulation through lungs, heart, liver and the lower hepatic circulation, these vary only as to the reflexes; though at times - rather from the supersensitiveness of the body - periods come when there is the preference to do without food for the effect that it may have or does have upon the system. This then may be as it were said to be a nervous digestion, sympathetically produced by reflex cardiac reactions from the pressures in the sympathetic system as related to the digestive forces as connected also sympathetically with the lower portion of the solar plexus to the lower lumbar. Or (as an illustration of these disturbances), as the body becomes more sensitive to mental activities, it rather forgets to eat than oversupplying the body and thus does it over-supply at such times the disturbances to the lower hepatic circulation and the disturbances in portions of the adrenal make for a greater disturbance in the lower circulation.
The activities of the liver, the spleen, the pancreas and the gall duct as related to assimilations, these as we find nominally would be said to react negatively, but these are as impulses that at TIMES are disturbed by pressures from the lumbar and coccyx area, and thus the hepatic circulation in and through the kidneys as a negative force from the positive force of the liver becomes as a drain upon the system. Thus the circulation hindered, an increase or a plethora in the return circulation from the lower extremities produce oedema or fluids about the circulation in the lower portion of the body or system.
THEN AS WE FIND, IN REMOVING OR CREATING A NORMAL BALANCE THROUGH THESE DISTURBANCES:
We would add influences first to stimulate the circulatory forces through that as may be assimilated, as well as the influences that may produce a balance between the circulatory forces through eliminations - those properties that are nitre in their reaction but of such a complement to the other activities in the system as not to become disturbing to the activities of the kidneys themselves.
Hence we would begin first with corrections osteopathically given in the coccyx AND the lower lumbar axis area. These should NOT be coordinated at all times with the upper cervical and the upper dorsal, yet ORDINARILY these ARE made by most practitioners. But coordinate primarily with the 9th dorsal plexus, or the solar plexus, for the areas here indicate that the hindrances are secondary in the upper portions and thus only at the third or fourth treatment - or every third or fourth treatment - would there be a full coordination made with the cervical and upper dorsal; though specific removal of pressures in the secondary cardiac plexus or upper dorsal would be made at each application. These treatments would be given about twice or three times a week.
Take internally small quantities of Watermelon Seed Tea. Take this about once or twice a week. Crack the kernel, about half an ounce to a pint of water, allowed to steep as tea. Drain off. Take two to three ounces once or twice during a week; dependent upon activities of eliminations thru kidneys, especially.
Use the Radio-Active Appliance to equalize the circulation as well as to make for vibrations throughout the system that will aid in creating a normal balance. We would attach same EACH day. Keep the anodes or plates very clean, and a very positive connection. Take for an hour before retiring each evening.
Do these and, as we find, we would bring the much nearer normal conditions and prevent disturbances physically later.
Ready for questions.
(Q) How many weeks should the Radio-Active treatments be taken?
(A) Well, if they are taken the rest of his experience it wouldn't be too long; for they are GOOD for that tired feeling which comes at times from worriment. This is as much a PREVENTATIVE as a cure. If these are desired to be left off at any time, it may be done; but their HELPFULNESS when once begun will be easily realized by the body.
(Q) Is there anything that may be done to remedy the condition in my left leg? [GD's note: I think this was a phlebitis condition.]
(A) The removal of the pressures in the coccyx and lumbar area, as they associate and connect with the lower circulation, will reduce these conditions and prevent so much disturbance there. Eventually the body adjusting itself to the changes it should be eliminated entirely. There will be periods when it would return, but if these are kept occasionally throughout the experience that there are disturbances, they will be the more helpful.
(Q) Is Dr. Schoelles in Bronxville a good osteopath for this body?
(A) We haven't Dr. Schoelles, but if her will comply with those variations as we have indicated and not attempt to give all the treatments ABOVE the 9th dorsal, would be very good. He can give treatments.
(Q) Is it important for me to substantially reduce my weight?
(A) If there are those applications made as indicated, especially with the Radio-Active forces, the normal weight for the body and that which is best for the activities will be gradually assumed. The Radio-Active is an equalizer and a distributor, as we have indicated, for energies, influences and activities of the body.
(Q) Any suggestion as to diet?
(A) As has been indicated, the elements or salts through the system are necessary for the maintaining as well as resuscitating the portions where disturbances have been brought about by high temperature or burning of tissue. An eighty percent alkalin reacting to a twenty percent acid reacting diet would be preferable. The variations of same under the activities of the body at times makes this rather disturbing. But these are those things to be warned against, then otherwise there may be kept a near normal diet:
Not white bread and potatoes at the same meal. Not quantities of sweets WITH white bread. The meats and sweets should be preferably taken at the same meal. It isn't so much WHAT the body eats as it is the COMBINATIONS that are taken at times. Beware then of those things. No RED meats; that is, rare meats. In meats preferably use fish, fowl or lamb, rather than other types. Have three vegetables grown above the ground to one under the ground. Have one meal each day, if possible, with ONLY RAW vegetables. Nuts are good, but do not combine same with meats. Let them take the place of same. Filberts and almonds are preferable in the nuts.
Do these things and, as we find, we will bring for this body much nearer normal conditions; giving the physical forces the opportunity for rest at times as well as the activities mentally to carry out purposes in the mental and spiritual forces.
For each body, each entity, is - or should be, more and more - a purposeful life or experience with DEFINITE goals.
We are through for the present.
