EC: Yes, we have the body here.
Now, these are the conditions as we find them in this body; [4137] we are speaking of, see? We find there are some conditions that are abnormal in the functioning of certain organs in this body. We find, you see, the body is in a state, or in the state of development throughout, hence the necessity of correcting this trouble as we find it in this body, along lines that will not be detrimental to those organs in their development, or as they come to the beginning of their functioning and development as they come along throughout the life of this body.
There are some organs that have not begun to function that will have to be taken into consideration.
In the condition that we find here the blood supply in the whole system is normal in its pressure, in the heart action, and in the flow of the blood throughout the extremities; yet there is some deflection in its proper ways through the hepatic circulation, causing trouble to the negative poles in their functioning, so that if medicinal properties were given into the system it would affect the positive pole, or liver, to the detriment of the further functioning of many of the centers in the nerve forces and nerve supply in the body.
The nervous system we find is in something of the same state, a predisposition causes more of the trouble than any inert action or force that has come within the system, so that the nerves at the lower plexus from the solar plexus, or the first lumbar plexus, being deficient in its normal action of muscles at the end, or upper hepatic circulation, causes the improper functioning of the kidneys in this body. So that the secretions as taken from the system are at an excess; that is, there is a forced circulation by this elasticity, or too much elasticity at this plexus causing too much of the flow in this channel of the body, forcing all of the functioning of these organs on the kidneys and the centers used or supplied by these in the system; so often much inflammation is carried back into the system, causing a nervous debility to the organs of the kidneys, and at times some little temperature through the repression through the three lumbar plexuses in its repression, or action to the cerebro-spinal system through these centers.
The development of brain, or mind, is good. This body will be especially gifted if trained along musical lines, and especially in connection with the spiritual through musical channels; with the odor of lavender applied to the sense organs of this body, and the shades of green in the development of the mind and the sensitive side of this body.
To carry out the perfect functioning of these organs would be by treating the body through the mental and physical without using medicinal properties to cause the equilibrium in the storehouse of this system. That is by manipulation, to cause nature to produce a normal contraction of muscular forces and the nerve centers to function properly, to produce perfect equilibrium in distributing nerve energy to increase the circulation on the hepatics; the circulation between the liver and kidneys throughout the upper or negative poles, so that the lymphatics will carry nerve energy, and produce proper capillary circulation and elimination through the proper organs. We should do this systematically, not too deep except at times, when the right cycles appear in the body to carry the right suggestions to the nerve force in this body.
Now in this body here, [4137] we are speaking of, as these forces are brought to their normal functioning, it will be necessary to add resistance periodically. We will say here from the space of 18 to 32 days apart, small amounts or properties should be given that will cause an excess functioning of the kidneys, to prevent the cavities which have been plethoric from becoming covered with sediment, or forming improper positions in this system. Hence every 18 to 32 days give this body 2 drops of sweet spirits of nitre, to which is added 1 drop of oil of turpentine. Nitre acts on the kidneys; turpentine acts on the liver and its gall supply, which forces and stimulates this portion of the body.
(Q) Is this all we should do for this body?
(A) Relax the muscles; this should be given every third day, and suggestions should be given as she goes to sleep. She is very amenable to suggestion. Treat the body as she lies going to sleep, quietly, gently, firmly, without waking her mind but sinking in to it the suggestions of the benefits that this body will receive through the suggestions themselves, through the manipulation and through the medicinal properties. She will react always to suggestion.
As to places we have designated for manipulation: They are at the 3rd lumbar, at the lower dorsal from the 11th down, 3rd and 4th lumbar; together with a gentle manipulation of the whole system will carry nerve forces in to the right channels.
