(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the body here, Mr. [1564].
Now as we find, while there are disturbing conditions that at times do and will cause anxieties if neglected, there are in the main those activities which if adhered to would keep the body near physically fit.
These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, Mr. [1564], Sr., present in this room:
IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, as we find, there are indications of there being the lack of the full purification of same through the pulmonary system.
Through these very activities the character of the blood stream needs to and does become changed, through the activity of the liver AND the lower or kidney circulation.
Consequently, with this overcharge that is necessary through such conditions, there becomes a chemical change in the ability of the system to produce the necessary eliminations from the blood flow itself.
Thus does the system then reinfect itself when these conditions reach such stages that the circulatory forces allow portions of the lung area itself to become, as it were, susceptible to infectious forces - which has been heretofore indicated by conditions in the system.
Then, it becomes necessary - with the activities of the properties that have been indicated for the body, through its own knowledge, through its association - to keep for the system not only a balance in the assimilating but in the ability for the distributing forces and the activity of eliminations; keeping coordination, to bring the better or the normal forces for activities of these portions of the system that are as the basis of the circulatory forces of the body.
With these activities then in the blood stream, with the effect upon organs of the body, there naturally becomes those conditions in portions of the cerebrospinal system through which the impulses for activities to parts of the system become involved - as has been indicated through the sensory system, or particularly to the auditory forces.
Hence we have the inclination through portions of same for a prolapsus of the Eustachian tube, especially in the areas on the right portion of the head or neck.
Owing to this slowed circulation, owing to the activities through other portions of the body, this becomes then static - or a bone reaction, by the very inactivity of the circulatory forces through the system itself.
By manipulative force, then, to remove the pressure, to raise the activities in the eustachian tube, we may prevent the conditions becoming SO static as to become a constitutional condition that would gradually cause the unbalancing of the oils - or the stations in the ear itself.
And removing those pressures will, through such means or manners, bring the better condition.
Then with the normal forces SET aright, and kept aright, in the circulation, these would not be ailments or hindrances in the system.
With the very nature of disturbances to the circulatory forces, and the lack of the purification being carried on through the system, as has been indicated through the lungs, we find that the liver and the kidneys all become involved - which is natural with any pulmonary disturbance or disorder. Hence we find a reaction arises at times through the LOWER hepatics - or conditions from the liver AND the kidneys - FOR the increased amount of the toxic forces, or uremic forces. Thus in their circulatory force through the body at times there are rheumatic OR arthritic reactions, or of that nature, produced through the lower portion of the body; by the very activity of the body sitting or walking or remaining within doors for long periods.
Hence these become involved with the general condition; and with the purifying and the clarifying of the ability for oxidization to carry on through the circulation and through the GENERAL building up of the system, we may also eliminate the disturbances through THESE portions of the system.
This back condition may also be materially aided by the use occasionally of the hydrotherapy methods; that is, the cleansing of the colon itself from the effect of toxic forces and the slowing of the circulation through portions of the system; and where centers or impulses along the cerebrospinal system become as it were a static influence. Not set forces, but short circuits - as it were - for impulses of activity through the whole system itself.
Hence we find, in making for improvements in the conditions for this body:
We would first give that there be an adherence to the diets, those purifiers for the circulation, for the assimilation and the distribution through the system; those things that have been indicated - or that have been applied.
Then, we would have the adjustments in the head and neck; and especially the specific treatment to the eustachians along the right portion of the auditory forces.
Also we would take the head and neck exercise consistently; not just take it one day and forget it the next, or take it once a week or three to four times a week and leave off, but take it morning and evening - two to three minutes. This will add materially to the ability to keep the equal balance, and it will prevent much of those inclinations for the body to FEEL the heaviness through the upper portion of the system. That is: Sit very erect. Move the head forward two to three times, then a circular motion; then to the left or to the right; then to the rear, and then the circular motion again. Do this gently, positively. Not just to be gotten through with, but for DEFINITE activity to be received.
Then as indicated, once a week for two to three weeks, and then they may be skipped to be given once a month, and then again two to three weeks, we would have the full work-out through the hydrotherapy methods. After the first two to three weeks, the frequency of such treatments will depend upon the general feeling of the body.
Do these, and we will find we will bring the near to normal forces for this body, Mr. [1564].
Ready for questions.
(Q) Right ear only 25% efficient. Is it true this is bone deafness, as the doctors tell me, and that nothing can be done about it?
(A) Rather WE find, as indicated, this character of disturbance becomes bone because of the poor circulation by pressures created in the system, see? and causing along the eustachian tube and the bone circulation LACK of flow of impulse for activity, which means lessening the circulatory forces. And with the applications of those natures indicated, we may increase this to at least eighty-five to ninety-five percent efficiency.
(Q) Still have a tubercular condition of both lungs. Have been following a system of diet and food the last year which has shown a remarkable improvement. Should I continue this system? or should any change be made? Anything to be added?
(A) As we find, as indicated, the condition will CONTINUE to improve if there is the CONSISTENT activity; and, as indicated, the activities sufficiently in the open to prevent there being those periods when the body becomes irritated by the excess need of activity of eliminations, etc.
If we were to offer ANY additional advice, it would be to use the inhalations from Apple Brandy. Not drink it, but the inhalations of the gas from the pure Apple Brandy; not Apple Jack but Apple Brandy in charred oak container, and kept at a temperature that is high - at least eighty to ninety - so that the gases thrown off may be inhaled into the lung. These act in this manner with the system:
They PURIFY the channels and areas, and lessen the disturbance from inefficient reaction of the circulatory forces. MOST of the disturbance, as we find, is in the right lung rather than in the left; though some clogging is in the left, the right as we find is the more serious.
But prepare the keg in this manner: In at least a gallon or gallon and a half oak keg, charred inside, put half to a gallon of the Pure Apple Brandy (half a gallon to the gallon keg, you see; or that proportion). Bore a hole in the top; not in the bung side but in one end, you see, that may be kept corked tightly. Then bore a small hole (which would be kept tightly corked) next to same, in which would be put a tube or metal from which there may be inhaled or drawn the gas from the Apple Brandy in the vacuum, you see. This may be inhaled once to twice daily, and we will find a great exhilaration from same; and after a few days we will see greater improvements in the activity of the properties for the keeping of a balance in the circulatory forces.
(Q) Am I doing anything that aggravates the condition?
(A) When the body worries, or remains indoors so long as to become IRRITABLE, these are aggravating the condition!
(Q) Are the pains in small of back above kidney due to adhesions between lung and pleural sac, as doctors tell me?
(A) Rather as WE find, as indicated, that in the circulation between the upper and lower hepatic circulation there is - with the excesses of the poisons - uric acid! THIS is the pressure that is felt, rather than adhesions in the area. And with the use of all those things that are given in the hydrotherapy treatments, with the massage that comes with same - or should be given with same, at least; AND the taking of the properties indicated, and the relaxing sufficiently in the open - these will disappear.
(Q) What causes and what may be done for lack of vitality?
(A) Just as indicated, those pressures from toxic forces are the cause - or the uremic forces. If these are allowed to segregate themselves or to become located in portions, they may cause most any sort of disturbance - whether rheumatic or arthritic or a source of infection that would be neuritic in its reactions. But if these things indicated are applied consistently - not spasmodically - we will find conditions cleared.
(Q) Anything I can do about my low blood pressure?
(A) Just as we have been describing! Inhale the Brandy for a week, then take your blood pressure!
(Q) Should anything be done for hair?
(A) It might be as the old saw for the body to well consider; that brains and hair rarely grow together!
But as for the conditions, these are from the circulatory forces. If there would be given the stiff massage with Crude Oil, then clarified with alcohol - a twenty percent solution, and then the white Vaseline used about once a month (all of this by the barber, you see, once a month), we would find it would materially strengthen the GROWTH of hair.
(Q) What about the teeth?
(A) As we find, only the local or general attention as it is necessary for these.
(Q) Should the osteopathic manipulations be taken also, as well as the hydrotherapy massage, etc.?
(A) As indicated, the osteopathic treatments are to be mainly for the head and ear; although, of course, they would include a GENERAL treatment - if the osteopath knows his business! and don't get one who doesn't!
The hydrotherapy treatments then, of course, would be different - and given by a different operator.
(Q) To what doctor in N.Y. would it be best for me to go for the osteopathic treatments. Would Dr. Van Rump (?) [Richard Van Rumpt, N.D.] be well?
(A) This would be very well.
(Q) To whom would it be best for me to go in N.Y. for the hydrotherapy treatments? Jane Brennan (?)?
(A) As we find, Berg or Reilly would be WELL; and these are consistent WITH the suggestions that may be made through this channel.
(Q) Any other advice?
(A) In making the applications of those things suggested, let them be made rather with the attitude that they are for a purpose; that is: AS there is given the better health, or better activity, USE it - not abuse it!
We are through for the present.
