First, in the blood supply we find a deficiency in the
quantity rather than in the quality, yet some of the
constituents of the blood are lacking at times in the supply,
hence the lower number of red blood cells or the
over-abundance at times, but not always so, of the white
blood cells. The elements that are lacking are produced
within the system by the action of the corpuscular
circulation producing the red and white blood cells in their
functioning. Hence the weak tired feeling that comes to the
body over various portions of the body, depending upon the
action or exercise of the body at the time, though the organs
directly involved may not be the condition, or the organ,
involved in the weakened condition. Hence we have at times
the dullness that appears through the body above the
diaphragm, again the weakness appearing to be through the
digestive tract, again through the hepatics and the lower
limbs, as if leadened - not necessarily any exercise of the
organs causing the weakness but the condition of the blood
supply in producing the elements necessary to supply the
rebuilding cellular force to those portions of the system
needing the same at the time. The heart action does not
become involved from this condition but rather from the
condition of the nerves, as we will see, in the system. The
functioning of the hepatic circulation, however, does become
involved, for through the functioning of the hepatics and its
auxiliary portions of the system do we find the seat of the
trouble, and at times the lacteal glands become involved,
hence the pain on the right side of the body you see.
Through the nervous system we find that which produces most
of the distress to the system, but we do not have diseased
nerves. The centers along the entire spinal column are in a
state of excitement most of the time, you see. Especially
those of the sympathetic centers and their connection with
the cerebro-spinal centers, hence along the lower portion of
the cervicals, at times through the base of the brain, where
the headaches come in at times, and to portions of the side,
through those at the secondary cardiac plexus centers and we
find the body is unable to eat at times - through those of
the ilium plexus or at the fourth lumbae [lumbar?] centers do
we find this heaviness, and especially the condition of the
nerves involved between the cerebro-spinal and sympathetic
centers. The body itself is over sympathetic in its action.
The body uses the reserved forces of the mental to force the
physical. The body uses its energy too much - overtaxes its
entire system too much, you see. The body worries too much -
the brain forces and the physical forces are overtaxed. The
mental and spiritual forces of this body are above normal.
Through the functioning of the organs themselves we find the
sensory nervous system not involved as much as would be found
ordinarily under such condition with both the nerve and blood
supply. Through the lungs we find the body at times suffers
some inconvenience from lack of blood supply to be enacted
upon by the air as taken into the lungs, and at times
temperature is produced, but the condition is not organic.
Through the digestive tract we find at the cardiac end of the
stomach the reflexes from the condition of the cardiac plexus
in the nervous system. At times when food is taken, or
attempted to be taken into the system, the body feels as if
one mouthful would be sufficient for the entire system, but
the hunger is not appeased in the body. Through the pancreas
and the duodenum we find the action normal, save as of the
poor circulation that comes at times to the body. The spleen
is engorged, but not organically involved in the condition to
be corrected in the system. It will be of the normal force
when other conditions are corrected. The liver we find does
not function normally, but rather of a spasmodic condition.
Through the intestinal tract, the upper portion we are
speaking of, we find the condition that has produced from
times back the condition of the system and the condition to
be corrected for toxins are taken into the system that cause
the destructive forces in the blood supply and give excite-
ment through the action of the lymphatic circulation to all
of the nerve centers. The emunctories become involved
sympathetically - this is in times back. The system then
became involved through the emunctories that is through the
kidneys and the liver and they produce then in the system an
overtaxation through the alimentary canal and the condition
that existed through the ascending portion of the colon. At
present we find the body suffers from this same condition,
but absorbed in the system through other channels and effects
the system in a different manner. The inflammation through
the pelvis we find comes more from the condition in the
hepatic circulation then from the organs directly themselves.
These are the condition we find in this body.
To relieve and to bring the normal condition to this body
would be to give that into the system. First, we would
correct the condition as produced in the system and give the
incentive to the blood supply to create those properties that
will give rebuilding force necessary in the system. It will
be necessary then to take two different courses of properties
in the system to act on the system and the organs directly
and give the incentive to the rebuilding forces. Then a
stimulant to the nerve centers that will give the correct
vibration to the body. We would take this into the system
first:
To 1 gallon of rain water we would add:
Wild Cherry Bark.........4 ounces,
Yellow Dock Root.........2 ounces,
Calisaya Bark............2 ounces,
Elder Flower.............2 ounces,
Yellow Root..............2 ounces.
This we would reduce by simmering not boiling to two quarts.
Strain and while warm add four ounces of grain alcohol with
three drams of balsam of tolu dissolved in it. The dose
would be two teaspoonfuls three times each day after meals.
After one half of this has been taken begin with this: To 1
gallon of rain water add 8 ounces of Clary flower.
Reduce by simmering, not boiling, to one quart, strain while
warm and add four ounces of beet sugar dissolved in
sufficient water to dissolve it. Add six ounces of gin,
preferably Gordon's gin, 15 grains of ambergris dissolved in
one ounce of grain alcohol with three drams of cinnamon. The
dose would be one tablespoonful just before retiring.
For the correction of the nervous condition, which should be
begun at once and kept up all the time while the medicinal
properties are given, a gentle massage from two to three
minutes over the entire length of the spine, but especially
at the 4th and 6th dorsals and at the 4th lumbae [lumbar?],
of electrical vibration as we would find in the violet ray
without the amperage. Do that. We are through.
