TEXT

1. EC: We have the body here. Now, we find the body very good in many respects. There are rather those conditions physical that the body should take warning concerning, that they (the conditions) do not result into conditions as would cause distress through the physical functioning. These conditions, as we find, have most to do with the eliminations of the system, and the results as are produced THROUGH this condition.
2. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [1732] we are speaking of, present in this room:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, here we find some evidences of the CHARACTER of the disturbance in elimination, by the character of disturbance created at times in the blood supply. Not that the quantity of blood is deficient, or that the elements or constituents of the blood are abnormal, other than that effect created in the plasm cells themselves, that show that at times an over abundance of certain characters of cells become NECESSARY to meet the needs of conditions, and that coagulation takes place often under such conditions in such a manner as to produce congestion in the lymph circulation. Hence the effects at times in the extremities, about the joints or sinews in system, when there is the feeling of tiredness, aching, or as if the limb is going to sleep, or of dullness through same. This an effect as seen; NOT a cause.
4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, here we find also the indications of distress at times, through the strain produced ON same by an overtaxation. Through either of these conditions, WITH the existent disturbance, then, IN circulation, there might be expected - under the cycle of strain of disorders existing in the nerve system, or of disorders existent in the circulation, and producing that inflammation in the nerve ends, or in nerve centers, especially about those centers from which the blood supply takes its origin in the ends of bones themselves, as to bring that inflammation known as rheumatic, as neurasthenic - these being directly opposite to one another, or those conditions as cause distress in such inflammation.
5. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, in brain forces, very good.
6. In the activities of the organs of the sensory system, these merely show their accentuation, or their deflection, when body is under strain - and FUNCTION near normal.
7. Organs of the head - as throat, soft tissue, antrum, and such - show there are conditions at times that give rise to the excess of the creation of those fluids as act through same. The SYSTEM, or life force itself, attempting to adjust itself to conditions existent in an acting, working, physical organism. Not a deflection, not an organic - or even a functional - disorder.
8. In lungs, throat and bronchia - functionally, very good. Organically, good.
9. In the digestive system, here we find a reaction that shows the effect of those conditions as described, both in nerve system and blood supply. Being, then, rather that at times of a NERVOUS indigestion, produced by the inability of the system to coordinate the eliminations of the system under the nerve strain, or under the existent circulatory system, and to meet the needs; while, were the body to take the foods quietly, easily, then we find digestion will be nearer the normal.
10. In the lower digestive system, hepatic circulation, and the organs of the pelvis - here again we find the effects of disturbance, as is seen in the pancrean reactions when too much sugars or too much salts will cause the disorders to become ACCENTUATED, ESPECIALLY in the extremities, and the circulation of the internal system becomes more rapid than that of the capillary or external circulation. Turned, then, to a low or subnormal temperature, low pressure, and the non-activity of liver, and the extra or above normal in the activity of the kidneys. This a normal result of disturbances.
11. This would appear that MANY conditions were abnormal with the body. Not so. Those of the distressed conditions as exist in the liver and the lower hepatic circulation are merely those reflections seen in the circulation and in the nerve system.
12. In MEETING the needs of the conditions, and to bring about a near NORMAL and the NOMINAL reaction in these, would be only to change the VIBRATIONS OF the body to that extent where the coordination of eliminations are kept near in balance, and the hepatic circulation brought to a normalcy, and we will find the body functioning near normal.
13. This will be accomplished by those activities of the system so that the capillary circulation is increased. Through that of the fume bath will bring the normal reaction soon.
14. Then, with the vibrations of that found in the Radio-Active Appliance, would keep - until there were some OTHER reactions - the body normal.
15. These we would take, with the proper manipulations to DISTRIBUTE THROUGHOUT the system those of the proper reactions.
16. Well, too, were there to be - with the first reactions created in system - those of the irrigations of the colon, that all refuses of the system may be eliminated, and where there are accumulations of those forces as produce the pus forming reactions for the blood to be removed. These, as seen, are indicated in the condition existent in the upper portion of transverse colon. Ready for questions.
17. (Q) What is the cause of the pain the body has often in the right breast?
    (A) This a reaction from those conditions existent in the glands of the system, as cause the improper circulation through the portion of the body. There is, as seen, a direct connection between the glands of the digestion and the mammary glands, and when distress is produced - that circulation is hindered, and coagulation too suddenly takes place - these produce those distresses. WITH the cleansing of system, with the distribution of the eliminations, these will be relieved and eliminated.
18. (Q) What kind of manipulations are required, and how often should they be given?
    (A) In the beginning, when the fume baths are given for the setting up of eliminations, the massage should be those of the deep OSTEOPATHIC manipulations. When these have been CLEANSED - that is, the system - and the regular reactions are apparent, those of the masseuse would be even better than those of the osteopathic, for they will keep the capillaries in a better reaction. These should be given, at first, at least every day. In the reactions that come, then they may be given once each week. The application of the Radio-Active Appliance, for coordination in system, should be taken at least THREE TIMES each week, for the rejuvenation of nerve energy and for the coordinating of the system. These should be taken for at least one hour at each application.
19. (Q) Explain what is meant by the fume baths.
    (A) Those of the witchhazel fume baths.
20. (Q) How many, and how often should they be taken?
    (A) In the beginning, these should be given every other day - until at least six are taken.
21. That is all the questions regarding this body.
22. Much may be said as respecting that of PREVENTATIVE conditions for a body such as this, rather than neglecting seemingly minor conditions until CURATIVE forces are NECESSARY. An ounce of prevention is worth MANY POUNDS of cure. Then, so adjust the conditions in the physical forces that, that of the mental AND spiritual may have that channel to MANIFEST through. We are through for the present.
