TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now the abnormal conditions that need correction in this body, at the present time, have to do with the elimination, and the poor assimilation, within the system, and the effect these conditions have produced and do produce over the body. Now, these are the conditions as we find in this body [4127], we are speaking of:
2. In the circulation, we find, the blood supply is very good, so far as the quality is concerned. The effect as produced through the system by the poor elimination gives, rather to the organs themselves, the effect of the condition than of the blood supply itself, at the present time, though in the elemental forces of the blood the condition as exhibited, at times, the numbers of the cellular forces in the blood are sufficient, yet the breaking of the cells by the high hepatic circulation, and the distraction of the forces in rebuilding, often cause the inertia over the system, and with poor elimination makes a strain on the body, that reflexly shows itself through some of the functioning organs direct.
3. In the nervous systems, we find, the body is very good. We would consider the weakened, though not weak, condition of the blood supply for those centers, at times, hence, we find, through portions of the nervous system centers that give, or have about them, those congested forces as produced by the taxation, without the proper elimination from the system, hence the condition that appears at times causing the disquietude to the organs about the solar plexus and about the ilium plexus. These are reflexes, and find their expression about the floating lesion of, near and about these centers. The co-ordination between the cerebro-spinal and the sympathetic is very good, yet there are times when we find that, with the condition in the system and the nerve condition, there is nausea produced from the nerve condition, rather than from the organic condition, see.
4. The organs of the sensory system, we find, are in coordination with the condition of the nervous system, and it is not always easy for the body to bring the functioning of the organs to their highest and best functionings, see.
5. In the organs of the body, we find, through the lungs there is a very good condition, with the blood supply. There are times when, through the upper portion of the lungs, especially to the throat, there is a fullness to the circulation produced more from taxation from the nerves than a specific organic condition.
6. Through the digestive tract there is poor elimination from the over-acid condition, and through the pyloric end of the stomach, the evidences of the condition have produced.
7. In the liver, where high hepatic circulation is produced, is where discomfiture comes to the body from the torpidity of the organ. The seat, or beginning, was first from the nervous forces to the body. The trouble has come from the body being depleted by over-taxation.
8. The kidneys give rise to the condition as produced by high or over-taxed hepatic circulation. At times we find the acids over-charged being carried back to the system by the plethora in the circulation in the hepatics. Then we find that the emunctories of the kidneys produce a reaction from the condition in the system.
9. There is not sufficient elimination through the respiratory system, hence the over-charges as are shown at times between the capillaries and the circulation in the lymphatics, assisting in eliminating.
10. To give the better balance to the body to remove the effects of these poisons from the system, we would give that in the body that would produce the equilibrium between the digestive force, so as to assimilate, and through the hepatic circulation and intestinal tract, to have perfect or better elimination from the system. Through specific exercise to give a better activity to the nerve centers, by the contraction and reflexing of the muscular forces, as followed by this, you see. Give this:
11. Make twelve capsules, in which there would be this:

    Senna..........................1/2 grain,
Licorice compound..............1/2 grain,
Yellow Saffron...................1 grain.

    One of these would be taken each evening.
12. After this, the vibration is taken - and the body must take and keep exercises from the beginning of taking this. We would then take vibration, electrically driven, over the whole length of the spine, from three to ten minutes each evening. See. That would be kept up for some weeks. Do that.
13. The diet for this body must be looked after while this is being taken. It would be well for it after the medicinal properties are taken to have at least one meal only whole wheat, rolled, and cooked well as a gruel. See. We will get away from this in the intestinal tract and digestive organs.
14. Let the vibration be thorough, especially to the diaphragm, solar plexus and ilium plexus.
