EC: Now, in many ways, we find this body is very good, yet there are abnormal conditions, and these may be corrected, for they are produced by specific conditions, though they cause many changes in the functioning in the system throughout. The affect as is produced by this is in the elimination and in the assimilation working with the action of the subliminal or subnormal self.
Now, these are conditions as we find in this body, [4150], we are speaking of. First:
IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, we find this very good in some respects, yet with the conditions as are shown in the body through the strain that comes in portion the pressure in the nerves overtaxed, and gives an abnormal pressure in the blood force. This we see is produced by specific conditions as come to portions of the body, as this is affected. In the white blood forces, these are above normal. In the red blood forces, these are above the normal.
IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, we find then there are those conditions along the cerebro-spinal centers where the pressure has and does produce the condition as was caused in the body in times back, here we find at the 8th and 9th dorsal, this producing the pressure on the region of the pancreas, causing this overtaxing to this portion of the body, and in the action of this turning too much of the properties as taken in the system causing too much secretion through these give into the system that producing in the blood supply this condition, you see. In the 2nd lumbar we also find a reflex condition. This we find then brings assistance to the strain on the system that produces a taxing in the region of the kidneys. This taxes then through the pelvis region, causing a strain on the body. In the reflexes from these two do we find we come in contact with the sympathetic nerve system, and in this does the action become the subliminal forces in action, and the abnormal forces then of the entity become submerged with the condition; that is, the body has the inert forces to decide in itself to gain control over nerve or blood supply, yet is taxed through this strain until it loses control of itself. That is, it hasn't the confidence in itself, [4150], we are speaking of.
IN THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, brain forces very good, save with the action as we have given. Functions of sensory organism under the stress and strain of the condition as in the blood supply, as in the lumbar supplying nerve force.
In the throat, in the larynx, we find there is the pressure as produced in the bronchials and to the lungs this overflow of blood, the condition that apparently comes as a condition in the bronchials and lungs. This is from a taxing from the system and from the blood than from organics itself.
In the digestive tract, this is very good for the condition in the body, though not normal. Now the body is not always sick. It has times, spasmodic conditions arise that bring distress to portions of the body, yet at others the body feels very good. Taxation in the forces as applied in the mental, you see. Not able to hold or gain control over itself.
In the digestive tract, with these conditions, we find there are often properties taken in the system that at one time would agree, at other times it disagrees with the digestion. It comes changeable in this. This is from the nerve plexus as is taxed from the 8th dorsal and in conjunction with the hypogastric and pneumogastric plexus. This in its taxing on the pancreas produces the pancrean fluids with those created in the duodenum, as it were, to push back in the stomach, causing this condition.
In the liver and upper digestion of intestines, those we find under the strain and at times the body, apparently, is not troubled with the liver, again it seems all congestion is centered there, that produced from the state of the taxation in hypogastric and in the pancrean fluid as is excreted and thrown in the system. Kidneys subnormal and abnormal both. That is, these become taxing, and again we find they are overactive, causing the excretory forces there to become engorged. This is not as an organic condition, but is a reflex and a nerve taxed condition.
We would then to bring the normal conditions to this body, we would adjust first those centers, which will be slow process, but must be adjusted to their proper alignment, both lateral and in alignment perpendicularly so. This will relieve the strain and stress on the pancreas and on the kidneys. This will also, with this alignment, relieve the strain in the second and third dorsal, for one is only action by the condition of the one in the ninth. This will remove the pressure on the lung forces and gradually reduce the pressure in blood supply and the taxing in the kidneys and liver.
Let the diet keep from meats. Vegetables only should be eaten, cereal and those properties, principally, that grow above the ground. Not those under. Those that grow above the ground, applying heat rather in a wet manner. That is, water applied to the body when adjustments are made, that the relaxing of the body may be in the better condition to adjust. Relax by heat, then adjust, applying heat over the frontal portion of the body in the violet ray. Medicinal properties we would not use in the system at all.
Do that. We will find it will take time, but the body will gradually be brought to its normal forces and conditions in eight to nine months, [4150].
The pressure as produced in the upper dorsal, you see, produces the asthmatic condition. The condition as is produced in the pancreas is from properties as taken, and the first abrasion, or the first fracture caused in the body, brought on the asthmatic conditions. We must correct these in the spine, if we would correct the asthmatic conditions, taking at times, when this is severe, the medicinal properties of Calcidin, may be taken until relaxation is brought in the bronchials. Not take medicine for the condition but medicine should be taken of this kind for the spasmodic condition as arises. This should be given frequently until the relaxing comes. One tablet Calcidin (5 grains) dissolved in water should be taken every thirty minutes until relaxing comes. Calcidin, composition Iodine Calcidin. It both acts with the respiratory system and does not give the reaction to the blood supply, save as an active principle. It doesn't react to the heart.
