TEXT

1. EC: We have the body here. Now, we find the body very good in many respects. There are rather those conditions as warnings that would be given the body, that where irritations occur in the present occasionally, the seat or the cause of the conditions be removed; else there may come conditions later on that would be harder to deal with.
2. These have to do with effects that have been brought about in the system through strain, when portions of the system were weakened by distresses in portions of the body, and they have to do with the nervous system as well as effects produced in soft tissue about glands in the body.
3. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [2654] we are speaking of, present in this room:
4. THE BLOOD SUPPLY very good throughout, in quantity, in quality, and in their reactions through the coagulative system.
5. In the NERVE SYSTEM we find rather the EFFECT of disturbance as has existed in the system, and of STRAINS produced in portions of the system that affect the SYMPATHETIC with its coordination with cerebro-spinal, through the maxillary centers and the secondary maxillary centers. This produced from strain in throat and bronchia when the body under strain from conditions existent in the right portion of the body, in that of the appendicial region. The effect through the activity of the nerve system, as related to those of the glands in assimilation and those in those of the central nervous system, we find that through the secondary cardiac centers and through those of the inferior muscles of the vocal cords, and in the throat, there is produced from this retraction a CONTRACTION of the MUSCULAR forces in palate, and in the throat proper; so that there is the effect as of stinging, drawing, burning sensations from the use of the vocal cords. In the reaction these may, unless CORRECTED, act with those of the SENSORY system as related to the AUDITORY nerves - and she wouldn't want to be deaf!
6. In this reaction we would find that, these being so close in their coordinal centers from the region in the 3rd and 4th dorsal plexus - that receives its supply of nerve energy from the central blood supply, central nerve system to the brain and to the head proper - these SYMPATHETICALLY produce that condition from a reflex in the lower portion of the ABDOMINAL muscular forces, see?
7. In meeting the condition, there must be the CAUSE as well as the EFFECTS - in THIS case - taken into consideration; so that, with the proper alignment and adjustment of the nerve system TO the conditions, these will not become accentuated in ANY direction.
8. In the functioning of the ORGANS themselves:
9. Brain forces very good. Discretion very good.
10. In the functioning of the organs of the sensory system, as seen - these come under stress of the condition as exists in the nerve forces through reflex and specific conditions as exist in the body.
11. In the bronchia and the throat, the lungs, the larynx - these show the effect of the strain as of REFLEX, and not as of specifics, though IN the reflex condition there is seen at times the irritation IN the throat, in the bronchials even, in the effect produced in the soft tissue in throat.
12. In the heart's action, MOST times near normal - but under stress becomes either subnormal or abnormal in its activity; ORGANICALLY good.
13. Digestive system very good, save as is seen as respecting that of the assimilations as related to the LOWER DIGESTIVE system, or INTESTINAL digestion. Not all digestion takes place in the duodenum or stomach proper, but throughout the jejunum we find there is an assimilation from the digestive fluids as they act upon the system, until they are eliminated from the system. A tendency for strangulation in the lower portion, or at the beginning of the ascending colon, from the operative forces as took place there. These cause the SEAT of the trouble.
14. In the meeting, then, of the needs of the condition:
15. We would be mindful of the diet and of the digestive system, as related to the nerve energies and nerve BUILDING for the system. Be sure that the foods supply are abundant with phosphorus, with those of properties that carry those that are nerve BUILDING in their reaction. Plenty of the foods that grow mostly above ground. Fish, and shell fish - these are good for the body, supplying the iodine necessary to overcome too much of a tendency of potashes in the body. Add that necessary in the POTASHES in the form of applications for the throat, as will act as and for the reduction of irritation in same; using the manipulations as necessary for the proper COORDINATION of the sympathetic and cerebro-spinal through the upper dorsal region and from the 5th cervical to the dorsal region. In the applications as would be made locally for the throat, we would use those of the silver nitrate OCCASIONALLY - very weakened, and should NOT be used oftener than once or twice each MONTH. The use of those properties as will be found in that of the FISH oils, or of those that are mono-hydrated - THESE should be in the soft tissue of the ANTRUM and of the UPPER portion of throat. These will REDUCE the pressure and relieve the strain. Do not USE the throat or the bronchia or the larynx too severely, until there is BETTERED conditions in this direction. Do not STRAIN the voice in the use of same, ESPECIALLY until the conditions in the digestive and the assimilating system are corrected - especially the SYMPATHETICS in the upper cardiac centers, or the SYMPATHETIC cardiac centers. Ready for questions.
16. (Q) Give cause and treatment for fainting spells?
    (A) This has already been given, as has also the treatment. That in the secondary or the MAIN maxillary centers, or in that of the change in the digestion - for the PRESSURE as is created there produces the swimming to the head, and the tendency to lose the coordinating centers, see? or equilibrium.
    Do this, and we will find that these will remove the distresses in the present and make for the BETTERED conditions; ESPECIALLY were these to be allowed to remain and affect the auditories, or affect the digestive system, as to become chronic in ANY nature.
17. (Q) What causes bad disposition? Give treatment.
    (A) If the body had a more agreeable husband its disposition would be better! [See 2654-2, Par. R3.]
18. We are through for the present.
