IN THE NERVOUS SYSTEM, we find there are those PARTICULAR
centers that have had to become OVER active in the distresses
that have been existent, and we have tenderness or soreness -
as indicated near the waist line. Not exactly over the
kidney area; rather a little lower, and a heaviness through
this portion of the body. This, as we find, not so much of
the area being impinged, or even out of alignment, as of the
ganglion and ganglia in the 12th, and the 1st, 2nd and 3rd
lumbar area, being an attempt to create the sufficient
impulse to respond to those conditions that have disturbed
the body in this area, FROM which the system - and the ORGANS
of the pelvis and of the digestive system - RECEIVE their
impulses. Also we find in the nerve system the opposite
condition, as it were, existent in the lower portion of the
CERVICAL area, where - through the sedentary activities of
the body, in a manner - the mental STRAINS have existed at
times through the activities of the system, and there are the
tendencies of an expression of tautness - that prevents the
active forces of the body as related to the eliminations, and
the proper circulation to the head, neck, eyes, ears, nose,
and the like. Hence these organs all UNDER various stresses
make in the specific organs of the sensory system
disturbances, at times. These are rather of the periodical
nature; not at all times.
In the effect this general condition has produced in the
FUNCTIONING ORGANS OF THE BODY:
Brain forces are active; good.
Sensory forces, as indicated.
Throat, bronchials, lungs, larynx - these are very good;
expansions are good, as is the activity of the respiratory
system - unless UNDER a strain, either from the upper or
lower pressures in the cerebrospinal nerve system, whether
reactory from the condition in intestinal or in the organs
of the genitive system, or those from the kidney or that of
the hepatic circulation. These make for those of heaviness,
and tiredness at times. Easily does the body AT TIMES become
fatigued; at others able to work under high nervous tension
with seemingly no reaction, save not much to eat or much
digestion. This is a working, as it were, ON high nerve
tension - and better that it doesn't!
The digestive system and heart's action are very good, save
at some periods.
In meeting, then, the needs of the conditions we find for
this body, we would not change - we say - until the
eliminations are completed in the specific conditions where
treatments are being applied; but we would begin and
occasionally - either once a week or three times a month -
have a general thorough massage, that will relieve those
pressures along the cerebro-spinal system, taking those of
the electric and the tepid water and salt rubs that will make
the eliminating SYSTEMS coordinate perfectly, keeping the
alimentary canal - especially through the colon - cleansed by
the use of the colonics when necessary. Under the present
conditions these may not be, but when these are changed then
we may find these will prevent a tendency of heart's action,
or the pressure in the blood supply will be kept nearer and
more normal. At such periods also it would be well - that
is, when these treatments are given, see - that the body have
a thorough work-out; not so much the activities of the body
as the one ADMINISTERING the treatment, who would work out
ALL the manipulative forces as to the DISTRIBUTION of
pressures in system, and for the activities of the locomotary
areas - especially in the lumbar, and the upper dorsal and
lower cervical, or the brachial area.
Do that, and we will find we will bring a normal condition
for this body - which should bring about a better mental and
physical reaction.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Is there some direct cause for tired or exhausted
feeling on awakening in the morning?
(A) As indicated, these exhaustions occur either from the
reaction of those EXHAUSTED and enlarged ganglia in the lower
dorsal and lumbar area, or from the tautness - that may come
from one and then may come from the other - in the cervical
and upper dorsal area. These feelings, or expressions of
weariness, may be given in this way and manner: At one time
this comes from the upper pressures, when there will be the
feeling of a heaviness through the head and the neck, and
throat dry. When it comes from those areas in the lower
dorsal and the lumbar area, the feeling is as of heaviness in
the TORSO area, and the feet as draggy, and stretchy does the
body feel - see? These conditions, then, as we find are
rather as indications that there are disturbances. With the
applications of the massage, the general exercising of those
forces that make for coordination in eliminations, these will
disappear. Now, in speaking of eliminations, we do not mean
in the alimentary canal alone! but through the respiratory
system, through the kidneys (Beware that we do not have
disorders there), and through the perspiratory system (or the
sweat glands), as WELL as through the alimentary canal. Keep
these COORDINATING, and keeping the drosses from the system -
we will find the system will respond.
(Q) Should these treatments be begun right away - the
manipulations and baths?
(A) These, as we find, had best be begun when they are
nearer through those applications that are being administered
for these specific conditions, as indicated.
(Q) What electrical treatment was referred to?
(A) Electrical baths, which are as of the pin or the needle
baths, you see - not from ELECTRIFIED water, but rather that
that PRODUCES the electrical SHOCK to the system with the
application of hot and cold water - as well as the needle
baths.
We are through for the present.
