First, IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY there are evidences of the
character of those properties that have been and are being
administered at times for the allaying of effects that are
produced by disturbing conditions. Nominally, we would find,
as the blood stream itself is the rebuilding, as well as the
cleansing (in a greater or lesser manner) of the drosses from
the system - as in respect to used energies, at least, the
supply would be under normal conditions very good, save
in the hormone necessary for the creating of that plasm
which makes for the connection between the sympathetic and
cerebrospinal, from definite conditions existent physically
within the body. Hence, as would be indicated from this,
GLANDS of certain portions of the system are affected by, and
the cause of, some of the distresses in the body; these
having to do, then, with those glands specifically as related
to the assimilations in the system, affecting the activity of
portions of the body direct.
IN THE NERVOUS SYSTEM (or systems, rather, would be indicated
here), while the cerebrospinal in its activity is near
normal, those of the COORDINATING between the sympathetic AND
the cerebrospinal are those that are in the greater distress.
Hence the variations as to the reactions that are indicated
in the body, under the various temperaments and under the
various applications that have been administered for the
correction, or to allow the body to rest from those ORDEALS
at times which the physical body has, or does at times
undergo through the inability of the responses between those
impulses within the sympathetic and the attempts to carry
out those impulses when they are attempted to be coordinated
in the involuntary reactions through the nerve and muscular
forces of the body.
As indicated then, these form a character of condition that
may be called that of starvation to the nerve forces of the
system, and the inability for the impulse to carry through
to make for the specific functioning of those in that
particular portion of the body thus affected, in those glands
as indicated about the lacteals and those that are affected
directly by these to the gland that carries the impulses
through to the distribution of activities in the brain forces
themselves. Hence the PHYSICAL reaction from injury as had
in work that has been attempted or done on the mouth! Then,
why do these coordinate in their effect upon the sympathetic
nerve system? Because of the starvation to those impulses
to carry TO the sympathetic system that necessary hormone
to create the feeler-impulse to the nerve ends themselves.
Hence at times whole portions of the body become numb to the
exercise or to pressure; at others we find the body becomes
super-sensitive through the attempt of the cerebro-spinal
to carry out those impulses that should be and that are
nominally carried in the sympathetic nerve system. The
distresses that are produced often, then, are in the attempt
to create the COORDINATING between the sympathetic and the
cerebro-spinal system, and the lack of the functioning of the
organs in assimilation to carry ON that necessary element to
CREATE for the body the necessary forces.
Then, as we find, there is lacking in the body the specific
balance of elements. At times there is the lacking of
the forces that are created by the system to carry on the
functioning of certain glands within the body. At times we
find the body normal in reflexes; at others we find those
reactions that are of abnormal reflexes and impulses.
These, then, produce or constitute the greater distresses in
this body, [
4116].
IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES:
The brain forces, in normal functioning, are very good.
Conditions that exist in the throat, the head, the activities
of those portions that are influenced by those impingements
which have been caused by the breaking of portions of the
structural portion of the body in the mouth itself, have
impinged those nerves that supply from the 3rd and 4th
series, that cross themselves at the 1st and 2nd cervical
vertebrae. This makes for that stiffness, the complainings
that were at one time of the pains in the back of the head,
to the eyes, between the eyes, and then the melancholia that
comes from the impingements of those SAME sources that are
impoverished by those nerves from the sympathetic system to
the lacteal gland centers.
The lungs, heart's action, pulsation - at times we find these
near normal; at other times we will find a digestive system
showing an equal balance in both the acid and alkalin
content; at others we will find a very excess acid content.
These are due to the conditions or pressures that are
produced, from the thickening of tissue as in the gland
area which CAUSES those distresses.
In the functioning of the organs of the pelvis:
Since there have been those same activities from a reflex
nature, then the activities through the impulses that arise
from the functioning of the glands of the organs of the
pelvis become abnormal in their reactions. Hence the
attempts to restrain their reaction has been often SEEMINGLY
helpful, but at most periods MOST detrimental to the better
conditions for the body; for they have only added, as it
were, fuel to already FLAMING centers in the sympathetic
system that were under stress and strain.
Then, in meeting the needs for the conditions of this body,
these - as we find - may be helped materially. It will
require patience, persistence, and - necessarily - changes,
as the tangle of affecting conditions are straightened out in
their regular order, for the resuscitation of forces in the
system to create a normal equilibrium in the body.
First we would change from the present surroundings to
those of a more quite, those of a more sympathetic, those
- necessarily - that do not IRRITATE, but that do keep the
activities of the system in accord with that necessary for
the better conditions of the body - see?
In the applications, we would begin first with small amounts
of iodine, or Atomidine in the system, to reduce the excess
of potash and to enable the glands to carry sufficient of
those properties that will ENABLE them to function properly.
We would also release, by GENTLE massage and by specific
adjustment, those conditions in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th cervical
centers, that will relieve those stresses and pressures that
have arisen and cause the pains in the head, the throat, and
in the face.
Also we would use the low formation of electrical vibration,
to produce a coordinating circulatory force in the central
activity of the nerve energies - or, the Radio-Active
Appliance. Each application would be from the right to the
left; that is, right wrist, left ankle; then the left wrist,
right ankle. Each time make the upper portion of the body
the POSITIVE pole, in the electro-magnetic forces that would
pass through system with the use of this appliance.
In food values we would add those that stimulate, especially,
for the carrying of more properties that enliven and produce
a specific activity for the glands of the system, especially
those that make for a phosphorus reaction for the system, to
enliven again many of the glands, especially in portions of
the reproductive system, that have been hindered in their
activity.
So, as the stimulation from the reactions in the blood
supply, in the nerve reactions, from the vibrations changed,
we will enliven again the ducts in the activity of the glands
of assimilation, and carry a coordinated force to the body
between the sympathetic and cerebro-spinal system. These we
would do.
Ready for questions.
(Q) What hormone is most active in creating this condition?
(A) Rather, as indicated, the LACK of a hormone is creating
the condition. Hence the necessity of ENLIVENING the glands
that are affected by the activity of excess iodine content
(in atomic form) in the system, see?
(Q) Are there any infections in the teeth or gums
themselves?
(A) Rather has the shock to the nervous SYSTEM been from a
fracture to the bone itself, in the upper left portion of the
jaw - see? Hence the activity has been to produce the strain
that causes pain in head, in neck, and especially the 3rd
and 4th series of supplies of blood AND nerve to this side
of the face. Hence, we find it running on the right side,
in the neck, and - as given - the manipulations should extend
through the 2nd, 3rd and 4th CERVICAL centers, RELAXING them
by manipulation.
(Q) What should be the dosage of Atomidine?
(A) As given, small quantities, so that there is not
too great a strain on the system, until the manipulation,
environment and food values are also having their effect upon
the general body. The quantity, then, would be from three
to five minims once each day for the first week. Then three
minims twice each day for the next week. Then stop off for
a week. Then begin with the small quantity again once each
day; the next week increasing again, see?
(Q) How long should the battery (Radio-Active Appliance) be
applied at a time?
(A) This should be from twenty to sixty minutes, or - if it
is necessary for quieting of the nerves - three to four hours
would not be too great.
(Q) Were the relations with her husband and his position in
any way responsible for her illness?
(A) A contributory cause, as may be seen from the general
effect upon the collapsing of the nervous system - or the
inability of COORDINATION between SYMPATHY and the effects
of normal reaction in cerebrospinal nerve forces.
(Q) Is this iodine required due to goitre?
(A) Due to the ineffectiveness, or rather as given, to the
lack of potash, which PRODUCES the effect of over-activity of
the thyroids in their inefficiency to meet the needs of the
system. Goitre is at times the RESULT of such conditions.
(Q) What is wrong that causes the pain now in the mouth?
(A) The reflexes, or the swelling, or the impingements which
will be released by the relaxing of the cervical areas; but,
as given, these are contributory to a GENERAL condition.
Let's take all causes and work together.
Do as we have outlined for the present. Change in the
applications may be given from time to time.
(Q) Where should the body be taken to get the proper
treatment?
(A) Where the surroundings would be congenial to those
necessary things that may be applied for correcting this
body. Do not allow the conditions to continue, for they
become more and more constitutional and harder and harder
- because some portions of the system, under the present
condition, are being starved. Let's make the change.
We are through for the present.
