TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, we have many abnormal conditions in this body. The specific conditions have to do with the assimilation and elimination through the intestinal tract and the effect of the absorption to the system from the toxins so formed, the condition was produced in the blood supply and in the functioning of the organs themselves by what has been given and done for the body as much as the condition itself. Now, these are the conditions as we find them in this body, Mrs. [2242] of whom we are speaking.
The blood supply through the system while in its normal state, that is without the toxins that show at present - those from the exterior not produced internally, is below normal in rebuilding force. The blood itself has the necessary constituents to rebuild, if given the proper incentive instead of allowing them to become involved with the reproduction of the lymphatics and white cells throughout the system in the tissues, especially of the hepatics and lacteal glands. The number of red cells are deficient, the number of white and lymphatic and cells between are above normal, hence the overburdened condition in the lymphatic centers and the weakened condition by temperature coming to the body from the reaction of the system in the condition as produced by the action of the heart forces and the venus [venous] forces themselves.
In the nervous system, we find the brain forces very good, though the benumbed condition of the centers to give the proper incentive to the functioning of some of the organs becomes a hindrance to the organs in their functioning, and it would be better at times if the massage were used rather than those as has been used to allay the nervous condition in the body. The sympathetic nervous system is overcharged. The sensory organs have become dormant in part as far as the condition existing between the sensory centers and the cerebrospinal operate in the wants of the individual as called by the sensory system. In the functioning of the organs themselves, we find the lung forces very good for the condition as exists in the system, though we find the air cells themselves become of a closed rather than of the open nature of the condition. In the digestive tract we find the body has very poor assimilation, hence the inability to the gain of strength, to the circulation, to the will portions of the body, this being produced by the effects of the toxins as produced on the organs of digestion and of the secretions as thrown into the system by the condition of the organs themselves from the toxins. The liver is torpid in its action, that of the excretory functioning being below normal of secretions by the improper action or bythe juices or secretions of the other portions of the body and the entire hepatic centers being involved throughout. At times there is an overcharge to the kidneys and an engorgement as shows itself through the organs themselves.
The small intestines, or the walls of the intestines themselves, have become attacked by the improper secretions, hence the first or beginning of the condition from the torpid condition of the liver and over secretion of the mucus coating and lining of the intestinal tract, then the weakened condition and the absorption of the toxins in the system.
To give relief to this body, we would give little medicinal properties into the system, but more of the massage to equalize the circulation and to give the correct assimilation of the diet taken into the system, and we would have more strength given to the body and build resistive force by the diet than by medicinal properties, under the present conditions, you see. As developments show we will necessarily have to give those properties that will produce the correct incentive for the balance or equilibrium of the digestive functioning of the organs and of the excretory system throughout. That is there should be stimulation to the excretory functioning of the kidneys that would produce an astringent effect in its reaction and throughout the system carrying the properties necessary to rebuild the mucus coating of the intestines themselves. So let all of the water that is taken into the system carry both the properties of elm and the weak solution of yellow saffron, for its effect will assist the kidneys and the organs of the pelvis that produce some irritation to the system. The massage should be over the entire system, using packs - hot and cold, in different portions of the body as the conditions present themselves. Do that for this body, Mrs. [2242], Room No. 6, Vaughn Memorial Hospital, Selma, Alabama.
