EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now we find there with the abnormal conditions in this body, there are many minor conditions existing in the system, produced by one specific condition among the organs of the body, and the effect is produced, then, over the rest of the system. Now these are conditions as we find in this body, [3860] we are speaking of:
First, in the circulation of the blood, we find this deficient in its rebuilding properties, rather in quantity than quality, being anemiatited, in a way, as it is, by the inability of the system to assimilate that taken in the system to give the rebuilding properties to the body. So both the red and white corpuscles are deficient. In nerve forces, we find these are very good. The seat of the cerebro-spinal nerve centers and of the rest, as far as the functioning of the system is concerned, that is the brain forces, is very good.
The sensory system, more from malnutrition than from any other cause, becomes somewhat defective. In the functioning of the organs themselves, we find, through the lungs the condition as would be expected, and as is natural with existing conditions in the quantity of blood, that condition existing, that is, the lungs tend to be longer, and fuller of cells, than the normal body.
In the intestinal tract, or through the digestive functioning, we find the seat of the trouble in this body. The stomach itself is smaller than the normal, it tending to contract. The spleen also, is small, tending to harden, or atrophy, but the tendency, or turn, is toward that condition.
The liver, we find enlarged, but not over-active; inclined to be rather torpid in its functioning.
The body has had more trouble through the intestinal tract than at present, though there are sufficient to cause trouble at present. The tendency is to have foods remain too long in the system.
The Peyerian, or Peyer's, glands do not secrete sufficient to keep the proper secretions, or lubricants, through the lower intestines, nor do the excretions pass from the system, or from the colon, as well as it should. So we have, then, the expression over the whole system - not entirely sick - a dull, achy feeling through the lower end of the stomach about the umbilicus; across the hips, achy at times, between the shoulders; down the right side; heavy feet, that is, tired, produced by the pressure on the ilium plexus.
These troubles, or this condition, we see, has been caused by strangulations through the intestinal tract, the nerve reaction back to the stomach to protect the conditions through the system, and the natural incentives to the system has been to ward off the conditions from the body.
Now, to give this body the correct incentives, would be to give the necessary elements in the system to produce the condition that will stimulate the secretions in portions of the intestinal tract to cause glands in organs to function through the emunctory and lymphatic glands of these organs.
We would take this into the system: (Their action will be to stimulate the digestion, from the glands of the mouth to the stomach, creating more pepsin.) (A sedative to the functioning to the secretive glands of the liver, and the effect to the excreting glands of the liver, and produce better assimilation throughout the duodenum, and also stimulating the kidneys to perform their function, and eliminating from the system through these channels, much of the poison now held in, see.):
To one gallon of rain water, we would add: 8 ounces sage, dried, Simmer, not boil, until reduced to one quart. Strain.
Add: 6 ounces cane sugar, dissolved in 4 ounces of warm or hot water (let that be rain water also).
Then add: 4 ounces grain alcohol, with 1/2 ounce of oil of Juniper; 15 grains ambergris, dissolved in one ounce of alcohol; 3 drams cinnamon.
Shake this well before taking.
The dose would be two teaspoonfuls half hour before meals.
Though the body exercises, it should take a specific exercise for the trunk portion of the body each evening. With the hands on hips, bend the body, in the circular, bending motion, around first one way and then the other, for about three minutes. Do that. [3860] in this room.
