First, in the circulation, in the blood supplying forces
within the body we find so far as the properties carried
within the blood itself as to rebuilding property, as
properties to produce new cellular force throughout the
system, is very good. There is a sufficient quantity of
hemoglobin of the correct character, as we find, yet the
action of the blood itself on the walls of both arteries and
veins produce an incapacitation to many portions of the body,
not that we have organic condition of the heart itself, yet
we find that when the blood comes to certain portions of
the body it is hard for it to return to other portions in
its proper form and manner, producing then the strain on
the capillaries, or producing the strain on the internal
capillaries and emunctories, it may be either, at one time
one, and at times the other. It is the improper equilibrium
of the circulation, for as we see when air is taken into
the lungs and the clarification of blood, or circulation, is
performed in the lungs, the energies start the circulation
to be carried in the proper force first to the trunk portion
of the body, then recirculated to the head and then returned
to the heart forces to be rejuvenated again throughout the
equilibrium to carry the force throughout. As to the cause
of the condition it reaches here through the functioning of
some other organs in the system.
In the nerve forces in this body, we find they have become
affected by the plethoric condition in the veins and
arteries, so at times the body becomes languid, or weak, or
there is an inability as it were to control itself. It is
not a case of nerves, as would be expected, or hysteria, but
an inability to hold the nerve forces and centers together.
The plethoric condition so relaxes the nerve ganglia as to
cause inability of the muscular forces about the ganglia to
retain the nerve energy between the cerebrospinal system and
the sympathetic system. This effect is shown in the solar
plexus ganglia, the lumbar ganglia and the secondary cardiac
plexus ganglia.
The functioning of the organs, as we have in the brain
forces, beginning here the head is very good. The body is
well balanced as far as brain force is concerned and through
the action of forces throughout the head. Impressions are
easily handled by the brain and mental forces. The body
is well balanced as to the brain force. The action of the
sensory organs is not all perfect. We find reflexly the
condition to the eyes, at times causing a blur to appear
to the eyes, there is a tendency to clear the throat when
seemingly there is nothing in the throat at all. At times
there is a tickling sensation and there is a thumping or
roaring in the ears - not particularly heavy, but just at
times. This is incoordination between the cerebrospinal and
sensory organisms, produced by the incapacitated condition
of the sympathetic and cerebrospinal centers to accord
themselves with the action of the condition in the
circulation in the body, as produced by high blood pressure,
as it is termed from the outside, but this is produced by a
condition in the system and not the condition of the heart
force itself.
The action of the forces of the lung are very good. The
digestive tract functions correctly occasionally. While we
have plenty of forces in the system in fat and fatty portions
in the body, the functioning of the digestive tract is to
create more of these cellular forces than ordinarily. The
digestion is not always in proper accord with the body, not
everything agrees with the body that it eats. In the heart
forces as we see, there is no organic condition. There was
at times back in this body a wrench or strain to this body
along the upper dorsals, apparently when playing ball of
some kind years ago. This produced congestion along the body
at this immediate portion. The reflection of this is shown
to the solar plexus forces until we produce in the muscular
forces at the 4th lumbar that which causes a reaction across
the diaphragm, which in turn affects the hepatic circulation
- that is at times we find that the body suffers with
indigestion and had trouble with the liver and in getting
the proper functioning of the organs. As this was corrected
without removing the real seat of the trouble, we began the
effect to the blood supplying forces throughout the system.
No organic heart trouble do we find, but we find high
pressure to both the arteries and veins. The functioning of
the liver is better than it has been, but at times the body
has to take those things into the system, or with exercises
to produce the right and correct action of the liver itself.
The functioning of the kidneys show the effect of these
conditions in the system.
Now, to produce perfect equilibrium in the body through
the circulation, through the heart forces, through the
pulmonaries, and to produce perfect accord between the nerves
and muscles and circulation, we would give this to the body:
We would take 1 1/2 gallons water, preferably rain water, in
a glass jar, in this we would place:
Copper Sulfate................1 pound,
Sulfuric Acid.................1 ounce,
Zinc..........................6 drams,
Plain Charcoal................6 ounces.
In this we would place a steel bar an inch square, two to
three inches long, to which there is attached a cord with a
plate that would be attached to the body at the 9th dorsal.
The string or cord would be attached to the plate would be
around the body and fastened to the body here at the 9th
dorsal first. When it is placed on the body at the 9th
dorsal the feet would be placed in water, not cold water,
but there will be ice in this water where we have this bar
or battery. When attached to the left ankle the right hand
would be in water. When attached to the left wrist, the
left foot would be in the water - that would be the next day.
Then attach to the body again. Let this be kept up for 20
minutes during each evening. Keep this up for a time, we
will say 6 to 8 weeks, and we will find we will reduce in
flesh and we will produce a different circulation and relieve
these conditions throughout the body. Do that, as we have
given, for [
3720] here in this room.
We are through.
