TEXT

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body. You will answer any questions I may ask you regarding same.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here.
3. Now we find there are those physical conditions existent of which the body should be warned. While there are those conditions that bring uneasiness and distress to the body, these need their correction, lest there come other resultant conditions that would be more troublesome to combat.
4. Now, these are conditions as we find them with the physical forces of this body, [4244] we are speaking of, present in this room. First:
5. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, here we find one of the resultant conditions of others more subtle in the body, and a lack is the result of this depression as is caused in the system, and a form of anaemia exists from same - a lack of the vital forces necessary in the elements or constituents of same shows this as existent in the body.
6. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, here we find the greater trouble existent from that same cause wherein the body deficient in the incentives in various portions of the system, especially directed to that of the assimilating centers of the body, which - resultant from a depreciation in the nerve energy as is supplied in the various portions of the body - bring to the system the varied conditions as a result of conditions existent, rather than as a cause. As is seen in the condition wherein the blood supply is cut off through the repression in nerve energy, with a deficient condition existent in the blood stream proper, necessarily there are portions of the system that must suffer when such periods occur - that cause this to be effective in the cycle of the functioning in the system.
7. In the cerebro-spinal system we find specific conditions existent; in the sympathetic we find again specific conditions existent, but in a different form. These, as we find, are the result of specific conditions in the cerebrospinal system and also that in the effect as is produced in the sensory as reflex conditions. The centers that show this reaction are those of the 1st and 2nd lumbar, the 3rd and 4th cervical, with a reflex from the pneumogastric plexus - which causes a different form of lesion existent in the 8th and 9th dorsal centers. These the basis of the conditions or troubles as existent; yet, as we find, functional troubles are the result rather than the cause of conditions; for, as we see when there is the over supply to the blood system or to the nerve system - through the blood ATTEMPTING to perform its proper functions - we have an overflow. Again the same result may bring that deficiency in the system. Hence those resultant effects in the sensory reaction to the body.
8. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, brain forces are good.
9. Organs of the sensory system show rather the deficiency in the blood supply and in the ability of the body to eliminate drosses through the non-effectiveness of the stimuli received from the various conditions existent in the cerebro spinal and - sympathetically - through the sympathetic system, as given.
10. In the throat, bronchials - here we find again a condition, not of an extraordinary, but rather the result of deficiency in that of the nerve and the blood action in the body.
11. Bronchials and lungs are good - not an organic condition - yet we find depressions are produced.
12. The digestion - through an effect as is created in the hypogastric plexus - we find shows that at times there are those properties that will not digest properly.
13. These are as effects, not causes, though causes - apparently - are resultant in the hepatic circulation from indigestion taking place in the lower portion of the stomach proper.
14. The liver and hepatic circulation - rather sympathetic or reflex conditions. Hence we find these conditions to be met and these conditions to be warned against as a result of the body being deficient in blood, in assimilation, in eliminations - produced by subligations as exist in the cerebro-spinal system, causing the conditions as have been ATTEMPTED to be met by the effects rather than the cause of conditions.
15. In the liver we find the effect of the condition in the blood, as also in the kidneys - which function subnormal, in that the action of the organ proper often produces, as it were, a temperature to the hepatic circulation. Hence that as given from the indigestion and the disturbance sympathetically created in the hepatics brings distresses to the lower portion and through the pelvic organs of the body. In the suppression as is produced through the blood supply, the depression as caused in the organs of the pelvis - all of a sympathetic, not a direct, condition.
16. Then, to meet the needs of the body, first we would correct those subligations as existent in the cervical, dorsal, and lumbar regions. Corrections necessary in cervical and lumbar. Those in the dorsal needing rather that stimulation as may be given through the manipulations given to the rest of the system.
17. Supplying within the vibratory forces of the body those properties that will create within the digestive and assimilation system those to meet the needs of existent conditions with corrections being made. Do not give one without the other! In this we would prepare as this:
    To four (4) ounces of simple syrup, add:

    Tincture Wild Cherry Bark...............1 ounce,
Elixir Calisaya.......................1/2 ounce,
10% solution Iodide of Potassium......1/2 ounce,
10% solution Bromide of Potassium......40 minims,
Tincture Valerian.....................1/2 ounce,
Tincture of Capsici.....................2 minims.

18. Shake solution to-gether before dose is taken, which would be half teaspoonful three times each day, preferably taken at nine, three, and six.
19. Let the diet be preferably those of fruits and of vegetables, and at least two green vegetables taken each meal. Do not overload the stomach, but keep this well dilated with water - pure water - for this must of necessity be the basis THROUGH WHICH the physical forces may receive that necessary incentive for the correction of conditions in the body.
20. Over the whole system, occasionally, apply the vibration of the Violet Ray, especially in the cervical and lumbar region. Do that. Ready for questions.
21. (Q) What mineral elements are lacking in the system?
    (A) Those of the proper building for the blood supply; iron, silicon, and as is given that of lithium - and these will be added with the diet and with the electrical vibration as created, and with those vibrations as created by the properties given in the medicinal properties - PROVIDED the corrections are made so that the incentives of the functioning system are to function in their proper way and manner - for these supply within themselves those necessary elements to keep the normal equilibrium in the body. With this over supply of blood - at times UNDER supply, through the anaemic condition existent in blood itself, causes distresses - or the un-equalized or the subnormal reaction at times in nerve, and necessarily in the functioning organs. Hence deficiency.
22. (Q) Is the water the body is using alright?
    (A) Just use about three times as much, yes! Keep the STOMACH dilated, see? The tendency - with the action of conditions existent in the pneumogastric system, on account of poor assimilation - for the body to feel that over-loading causes depression, prevents the stomach from assimilating or being dilated properly. Remember, the stomach itself - the walls of the stomach - the medicine chest of the body, and when digestion begins in the mouth - even when food is taken - it changes in its chemical reaction at least four times through the system, and the stomach must be kept dilated so that this may receive the proper essential elements as created in the system for proper assimilation.
    Give the adjustments at least three times each week, and the gentle massage following same for the whole body.
    Keep the properties as given, and we will find that within sixty to ninety days a body well in that element of being near normal.
23. We are through.
