IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, we find those
that have become affected directly by this condition, and
those that are sympathetically affected by the conditions.
With the position, there has been an effect to the pulsation
(and to the heart's action, naturally). This rather the
sympathetic than that of an organic, or of a nature that
would affect the organ - other than sympathetically, and
where stimuli or those properties are given that would affect
this system, irrespective of the other organs, this works and
has worked - a hardship upon the body. Where there has been
applied those properties either medicinally or externally,
that would aid the nervous system to gain its equilibrium and
to remove the pressures that do occur, or would occur from
time to time, either from those engorgements or conditions
of distress in the assimilating system, as directed to the
sympathetic and cerebro-spinal system, these have aided the
body. In the digestive system, this has been affected both
ways. Sedatives for the activities has SMOOTHED, as it were,
the walls of the assimilating system, or the lower portion
of the stomach and the duodenum, so that at times little or
nothing agrees with the body, or will be easily assimilated
by the digestive system. Hence ALL of the system suffers
under these periods, or these strains. At other times we
find those rejections of the fluids in the system, or the
over amount is secreted when there is activity, and we have
a super-acidity, or a regurgitation, so that there is a
recurrence of the pressures in the upper portion of the body,
and immediately the eliminations through the alimentary canal
are nil - UNLESS there is the addition of some properties to
stimulate those activities of the muco-membranes through the
eliminating channel. This drains the body, and makes for
weakness and stress, and less ability of the body to function
through the activities of locomotion through those portions
affected. At times this works for and against eliminations
in the hepatic circulation, or the kidneys and the bladder
give distress - either too active, too frequent, or too
little in their activity with the frequency, bringing the
overburdening of the lower portion of the system.
These, as are indicated, are but the effects and the
indications of the conditions that we find affecting
the body.
Now, in part - as we find - these present applications would
in part only be effective. These would relieve, after a long
period, somewhat - but the rest would be more effective for
a permanency, while others will be under strain and regain
permanent almost unless corrections are made.
These, as we find, would be a manner in which these
conditions might receive that impetus, that while for the
first few days of such treatments we will find at times
there will be as if it is the very thing, there will be those
reactions when these are not so well. After a period of
fifteen days we would find better results would occur from
such treatments. As these:
First the manipulations osteopathically that will relieve
the distresses without the necessity of a sedative, or an
alkaloid, would be the better conditions for the system. In
the first few days it would require at least two treatments
a day, until these have adjusted themselves. The relaxing
of the cerebro-spinal, especially from the 9th dorsal to the
base of the brain, with a saturated solution of Epsom Salts
(in packs), applied along the spine BEFORE the manipulations
are given, will ease the body materially - and allow the
manipulations to be more effective for the muscular forces,
for the removal of the pressures in the segments along the
upper dorsal and cervical area. These need not be applied
unless there is the tautness. For the first few days,
though, these would be necessary.
We will find that those abilities to use iodine that will
assimilate, either by the non-poisonous as in Atomidine - or
given in a low form of electrical vibration, will materially
aid the content, or active content of the elementals, or
elements of the body in the vibration as related to those
that will REDUCE the plethora condition in the glands that
are affected by this condition which arose from flu. This in
the digestive area, see? We would take, then, a few drops
of Atomidine each day, and use the vibration as of the
Radio-Active Appliance that carries iodine in same - see?
This we would apply, the first anode - through which the
vibrations are to be for the system itself, see, carrying the
iodine - attach first to the 2nd and 3rd cervical vertebrae.
Attach the other anode to the umbilicus center, more to the
right, or over the area that affects the lacteal glands.
That's to the right of the umbilicus center, see? The
activities of this will be through the thyroids to the
digestive organs themselves, the effect of the iodine in its
circulation or vibrations from same passing through same.
This we would give each day also, but at the opposite end
of the day from which the Atomidine - three drops in half a
glass of water - is taken internally, see? If one is given
in the morning, then give the other in the evening, see?
In the matter of the diet - that as makes for building of
nerve impulses.
As for a sedative, use that as may come from the extracts of
any of the nerve BUILDING forces - as Celerena, or extracts
of celery, or beef extract - those things that will
assimilate, or produce assimilation to the system, rather
than negativating the active forces of the assimilating
system.
Well that at least once a week there be given the high
enemas, using in a gallon of lukewarm water a level
teaspoonful of baking soda and half a teaspoonful of plain
salt. This well dissolved before used as an injection.
In the last water use about a tablespoonful or ALKALIN
Petrolagar, stirred as thoroughly as may be kept for the use
of same. This will keep down the toxins in the system, will
make for assimilations for those activities of the kidneys
without producing a pressure on same; relieving these
pressures in the system so as to allow the assimilating
forces to build resistance - which is very lacking in the
body.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Shall he continue or discontinue with the treatments he
is now undergoing?
(A) This, of course, must be determined by himself. These
are as indicated. These would eventually aid in part.
These, as we find, as we have outlined, were these followed
consistently, will bring the body back to normalcy - and be
rid of any of these obstructions; for as is seen from the
type of that as is given - either in the manipulative forces
or those that may be assimilated by the system - these will
reduce those pressures, relieving the pains in the spinal
column, relieving those pressures on the axes and the
locomotary centers in such a way and manner as to give the
resuscitation to the locomotaries, so that the use of the
body will be in about a normal condition.
Do these as we have outlined for at least twenty-eight
treatments. Now, if they are sometimes twice a day - then
we will find this will be in fifteen to twenty days. Then
we would give further instructions.
(Q) Any advice regarding diet?
(A) As is indicated, that which is NERVE building - and,
as will be seen, and has been indicated, necessitates the
changing from time to time; for at times little or nothing
assimilates properly. It requires the meeting of the
changes, as to whether the system is producing over acid or
over alkalin, or regurgitating and producing bile back into
the duodenum.
We are through for the present.
