TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1455], present in this room.
2. Now as we find, there are disturbing conditions that prevent the normal reaction and the better reactions in the body.
3. These as we find are of specific natures, yet if taken in the proper activity - though they may be subtle - they may be not only aided but entirely eliminated from the system.
4. As we find, these then are the conditions that disturb this body, [1455] we are speaking of, present in this room:
5. In the blood supply we find the effect of poisons in the system, that arise from a specific infectious force in the body.
6. There has been in times back an experience when the inhalation of fumes caused a reaction upon the mucous membranes of the throat and the gums, in such a manner as to apparently be the source or the cause.
7. This is a source, this is a cause, yet the conditions of the body as related to the circulation and the inability of the body through the depletion in the proper circulation through those portions of the body caused or produced that which REMAINS a condition.
8. Hence we find the local applications, or the specific injections, or those activities for the system for the general condition, have only proved to be either palliatives or definitely irritants or counter-irritants; causing or producing greater disturbances in other portions of the body.
9. These infections then arise, it is true, from the mucous membrane activity in the lymph, and the formation of pus, and those activities that are necessarily to be eliminated through portions of the system, cause then to the whole of the nervous system a disturbance, especially to the sensory system.
10. And sooner or later, unless these are checked or hindered, the effect upon the auditory forces, upon the vision, upon the sense of taste (which has in part already been affected), must be the result - and all of these will become involved in the conditions.
11. Thus as we find there are then in the nervous system, or in the structural portion, pressures upon the nervous system that prevent the normal flow of the impulse in the circulation to affected portions of the body.
12. And until these are relieved and then the general system builded for the better coagulative elements through the hormones in the blood itself, to be able to choke out or to destroy the effect of infection and the multiplying of the infectious forces, these may not be eliminated entirely from the system.
13. The effect of these upon the rest of the nervous system may be indicated by the effects as gradually being produced upon other portions of the nervous system. The activities upon the digestive system; yes, even upon the extremities of the body, as indicated by the disturbance at times for the lower portion of the body or in the feet and the limbs and those activities of ALL the eliminating system.
14. Hence these as we find would prove to be the more EFFECTIVE manner, the more EFFECTUAL way in which there may be carried into the system and created the activities upon the system for the corrections of the conditions in the body. First we would begin then with this:
15. We would have the adjustments Osteopathically to relieve those tensions in the areas specifically from the 5th dorsal to, of course, the 1st cervical; coordinating these occasionally with the solar plexus and the lumbar axis plexus, with the rest of the system. These should be taken not as a whole course but rather as a series of same, so that the effectual activity may be not only from the making of the corrections but through setting up drainages from the system - or into those portions of the eliminating system - as to bring about better conditions. Take them, then, for periods of three to four weeks, and then a rest period of two to three weeks, and then again of the same period, and then another rest. And by the third or fourth round, with the other applications, we should find DEFINITE changes coming about for the betterment and for the elimination of the disturbing forces from the system. In the adjustments, these should particularly be for the whole area that involves the activity of the vagus center, and those that make for the return of the flow of impulse from the head to the trunk portion of the body - or from the 5th dorsal to the 1st cervical.
16. It is well to use an antiseptic as a wash for not only the mouth but for the intestinal system; and we would preferably use not a high or a very strong antiseptic but rather the Glyco-Thymoline full strength.
17. Use this about three or four times a day as a wash, as an application to not only the gums but all the mucous membranes of the throat.
18. And about once or twice a day take internally three to six minims of the Glyco-Thymoline, so that the activity of this throughout the body may not only keep a cleansing but a purifying to the effects of these activities upon the body.
19. Take also in regular periods the vibrations that would come from the Radio-Active Appliance, but that prepared to carry the vibration of Solutions into the system (as the whole of same should be carried into the system by the BODY-vibration, rather than through the low electrical vibration [Wet Cell Appliance] in the present.) As conditions develop, LATER these would be by electrical vibrations¹ - but in the present and in the beginning they would be carried through the Body-vibrations of the Radio-Active Appliance).
20. The Solution carried should be a ten percent (10%) solution of Nitrate of Silver; and the attachments should be in this manner:
21. The plain anode would be attached first each time, and would be circulated about the body - that is, one treatment to the right wrist, the next to the left ankle, the next to the left wrist, the next to the right ankle, see? while each time the anode through which the Nitrate of Silver Solution passes would be attached last, and always to the 1st and 2nd cervical center - that area between the 1st and 2nd cervical.
22. In the application of the Nitrate of Silver do not allow the Appliance to remain in the Solution when not in use. When ready for application, set up Solution and the anodes kept clean, making the attachments as indicated - for twenty to thirty minutes EACH day; preferably just before retiring.
23. In the matter of the diet, keep towards the alkalin-reacting foods for the body. In other words, never any fried foods of ANY kind. Never too much of the starches; as white bread, white potatoes or spaghetti. Not that these are not to be used at all, but do not combine them together for great quantities.
24. Do these and as we find we will bring a better condition.
25. It will be necessary to be sure, from time to time, or after sixty to ninety days, to re-check with those activities being produced by the corrective measures indicated for this body.
26. Ready for questions.
27. (Q) Should the Appliance be used continuously, or in specific periods?
    (A) This had best be used continuously, until there is a re-check.
28. (Q) What is cause and relief for pains in stomach?
    (A) The effect of the poisons upon the mucous membranes. Hence the eliminations are to be kept in the ways and manners indicated, and by the use of the activities or properties taken internally for the purifying.
29. (Q) What causes my lack of interest in everything, little strength, etc.?
    (A) The effect of the poisons generally upon the system.
30. (Q) Would working in paint be harmful to me?
    (A) Most decidedly; until there is less reaction to the nervous system by the inhalation of fumes of most any nature.
31. (Q) Please outline a correct diet.
    (A) As indicated, beware of fried foods and starches in the way indicated. A general diet for body-building is very good.
32. (Q) Any other advice for the body?
    (A) Keep a constructive mind. Or rather - as each application of the Appliance is made, that is to act as an equalizer for eliminations as well as the influences of forces in the system to aid in producing an overcoming of the destructive forces - let the mental self MEDITATE upon man and man's advent, his purposes, into the earth. Why and whence - and what for?
    And let THIS be as the prayer:
    THOU, THE MAKER OF ALL THAT IS, LET ME - THY SERVANT - SEE IN MY EXPERIENCES IN THE EARTH THY PURPOSE WITH ME. AND HELP ME TO FULFIL THAT AS TO BE THE GLORY EVER UNTO THEE. Not merely saying these, but living them!
33. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. Johns-Hopkins [Hosp.] told him he needed silver in his system but they didn't know how to get it in him. They had been administering it orally but his gums and teeth were black and his mouth so sore that he could not eat (gingivitis) [See Dr. M. L. Richardson's report 6/07/38 under 1455-3 Reports calling the condition idiopathic gingivitis, metabolic deficiency and colonic stasis]. He went by his brother [1467]'s shop and said he was going to commit suicide by running off the bridge on the way home; [1467] persuaded him to ask for a reading.

REPORTS

1. 10/26/37 See 1800-32 re Nitrate of Silver Solution in [1455]'s Radio-Active Appliance being "eaten up" before a treatment could be given, the silver in his body being so deficient that a 10% solution was too strong!
2. 12/11/37 He obtained second Physical Reading - See 1455-2.
