TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2103] and those conditions as surround the body - physically, mentally.
2. Now, in the physical forces of the body, these we find very good in many respects. There are conditions apparent that will precautions be taken concerning same in the beginnings, or when they are still as inclinations, will prevent distresses later on; for while some disorders that appear at times, these we find are effects of these tendencies, rather than being of specific causes as appear.
3. In the disorders, we find these have to do with portions in the functioning system that have to do with the resuscitating of forces in the blood supply, as related to conditions from which the body, in its attempt to bring about an equilibrium, makes for the system those forces as bring INTO the functioning organs those disorders as make for strains on portions of the body.
4. These, then, are the conditions as WE find them in this body, [2103] we are speaking of, present in this room:
5. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY - we find this somewhat submerged, produced by those conditions in the lacteals where in the distributions of that assimilated there is made for less of the glutens in the system than is necessary, making for depressions at times THROUGH the digestive system, as affects directly some of the glands of the body - as will be seen.
6. In the pressures as seen from this, we have a wavering - or at times a subnormal pressure, when at others it is near normal.
7. In the cerebro-spinal nervous system, here we find the seat or the causes of these tendencies and inclinations in the body. While this may be termed a nervous condition, yet the body in itself CONTROLS self through the mental FORCES of the body, as to make for that which is often submerged - rather than finding expression through the sympathetic OR cerebro-spinal. This makes OFTEN for those conditions wherein the tendencies become such that there is the feeling of a quivering sensation within the system itself - as to the throat, as to the digestive system, as to the movements in locomotion themselves. These are affects of repression, and have a RESULTANT effect upon the organs OF the body as related to the distribution of assimilations in the physical body. In this direction also we would find for the body, in its mental attributes, an UNUSUAL experience in the physical positions that HAVE been occupied by the entity in the material plane.
8. In the physical portion of body, and in the cerebro-spinal nervous system, we find suppressions in the last dorsal center, as well as in the lower LUMBAR and coccyx plexuses, which makes for disorders in the organs of the pelvis at times, and aids in that direction wherein this nervous reflex occurs from SYMPATHETICALLY; not directly, but SYMPATHETICALLY in the cerebro-spinal we find the 3rd dorsal and in the 4th cervical reflexes that cause a reaction in the secondary cardiac reflexes. These make for those conditions in the central nerve system to the head, where at times we have those conditions to the head, the throat, that make for a tendency of a direct disorder, when it IS sympathetic.
9. In the functioning of organs themselves:
10. In brain forces, these are good. The dissemination, the abilities for comparison, good.
11. In the sensory organism, reflexes from those in the cervical and upper dorsal plexus makes for conditions at times with the eyes, when there is an overflow of the lachrymal reactions, or ducts. This partly a sympathetic, though MAKES for irritations at times - which the body attempts to suppress often.
12. In the throat, bronchi, larynx and lungs - here again we find sympathetic reactions that need attention, though NOT organic disorders, for they come from SYMPATHETIC REFLEXES - while the disorder as PRODUCES same is in the lower dorsal, lumbar and coccyx region.
13. In the heart's action, as indicated, sometimes subnormal, at others near normal.
14. Digestive system shows forth those forces of a nervous digestion, or at times those properties take will assimilate - at other times, under other stresses, those SAME foods will not assimilate with the system. In their reaction in system, there is the tendency for same to produce an acidity, so that - with the repressions as seen in a general system, with those activities in the lacteals (that's in the right side, or those portions to the first of the chyle reaction in body), these make for a tendency towards sedentary conditions in the colon, making for a tendency towards pressures in the lower hepatic circulation - kidneys, liver in its activity, and towards those forces of constipation, that makes an INACTIVE force.
15. In meeting, then, the needs of these conditions in the body:
16. We will find that, with the correction of those conditions in the lumbar, sacral and coccyx, and a GENERAL condition correction through the SYMPATHETIC regions of the system, that pressure will be relieved - and the tendency will be for a NORMAL reaction; but to aid or meet the needs in the nerve reaction we would add TO same those vibrations from the ultra violet forces in the system, and APPLY same to the lumbar, sacral and lower dorsal region. These we would apply (the ultra violet) for at least two to five minutes, dependent upon the distance same is from the body - see? This we would apply at least, in the beginning, twice each week. The manipulations AND adjustments we would make twice each week. These may be made on the same days, or opposite days, to suit the convenience - for their reaction will be nominal in the body.
17. In the matter of the diet - much has been given the body as respecting the effects of foods on the general system. Hence the body within itself is a fairly good dietician in some directions. These, as we find, need more of the nerve BUILDING properties for the system. Beware of medications in the system, but make for FOOD values for the medications for the body, so that in the reactions from the foods these will be nerve AND blood balancing, carrying WITH same calcium and iodine. Ready for questions.
18. (Q) What would you suggest for catarrh condition in the head and throat?
    (A) With the removal of the pressure in the dorsal and lumbar regions, and the general distress relieved through those sympathetic conditions in cervical and upper dorsal, we will find that the blood supply will take care of those congestions as arise in throat and in nasal cavities. These are SYMPATHETIC conditions, NOT causes. The CAUSES come from impeding of the circulation through the central portion of system - see? When these are at an excess or acute, use those of Dobell's solution as a spray - or as a wash - see?
19. (Q) What will increase the weight?
    (A) As has been given, those conditions where the vitality has been taken from the system through those forces in the lacteals, or in the system - with the correction of these conditions, with the food values as balanced properly, we will find the weight will increase - and may be CONTROLLED to the extent as the body so desires - see?
20. (Q) Any further advice for this body?
    (A) As for the mental and spiritual forces, MUCH might be said of this body - as very unusual conditions surround the body. We are through for the present.
