IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find shows contamination from
toxins, also from antitoxins that have been produced and
as have been given the system, and these are of the atomic
nature, again showing or manifesting itself in how these
operate within the blood cells themselves. Hence the varied
condition as is seen in the physical forces of this body,
for we do not find that these operate in a systematic manner
- that is, from the viewpoint from what is expected in the
system, and they do not always produce, as has been seen from
time to time, the same conditions, or same effects in the
system, for there are other conditions to be taken into
consideration under such circumstances, and these have not
always been taken into consideration; that especially as
is seen of the nature or character of that bacilli, or that
germ, or that organism, or that cell unit, if you please, as
is being created in the system by the existent condition of a
functional disturbance in the system, and the effect this has
had on the organism of the body. Especially is this true in
the hepatic circulation, the liver and the spleen. Also with
that condition as is seen in the ducts of the system, and
especially that of the condition as is necessary for the
building of blood in the system, as is exercised in the
normal conditions throughout the jejunum, or through the
small intestinal system, which assimilates from food values
or foods taken in the system, and these, in their turn, show
the effect as has been produced from time to time and the
troubles as have arisen from these, for, as we see, at times
this antitoxin produces temperature of the nature that,
rather than healing or assisting in the mesenteric system,
or in the jejunum proper creating of those properties, that
tissue, that effectual working or operation of the system
of assimilation, creates rather that of the temperature that
in ITS reaction so overloads the LIVER, in it attempting to
create sufficient through that of the excretory functioning
of the organ, until we have various conditions in the liver
proper that show as spots, white in places, dark, heavy,
tissue like, in others. The spleen the same way, for in
its destruction (spleen) of red blood cells, and these cells
carrying with same at times portions of the toxins that
should be eliminated, we have this condition existing in THAT
organ. The right portion shows a form of atrophy, while the
OTHER shows rather the plethora condition, see? and this,
as we can see, gives not only to the BRAIN reaction, but
to the whole circulation in the hepatics, an exaggerated or
extravagant condition, which brings distresses of every kind
as related to the digestion and to the assimilations in the
system.
IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, this has risen, as it were, to that
condition wherein there are few centers in the cerebro-spinal
and sympathetic junctures that are not involved in the
condition. This condition, as we see, BEGAN, as it were, the
trouble through that of a lesion as was formed in the false
pelvis in times back. Then we had at the 2nd lumbar that
lesion which affected first directly the hepatics, through
the hypogastric plexus. Then, the pneumogastric becoming
involved sympathetically, we begun then with first the
trouble with the digestion, the pains through the right
portion of the body, along the track of the intestinal
digestion. Then, this creating temperature, we begun then
with impacts in the colon, especially in the ascending, and
these begun with the toxins, the kidneys became involved by
being overcharged, the liver and hepatic circulation showing
the effect. Then, the combination of those properties
for the torpid liver, and for the other conditions, only
exaggerated those as had been created then first in the
system. In all centers, then, along the cerebro-spinal do
we find these tender places. While some adjustments, some
treatments, have been some benefit to the body, yet the
trouble itself has not been reached, for the changing of
the incentive, without the system being balanced sufficient
in functioning organisms to carry out the incentive, this
thrown back upon the system causes, through its retraction
and reaction, more extravagant conditions in other
functioning organisms.
Now, as to organs themselves, all, as we see, show the effect
of the conditions as are seen in the system, especially as
is seen in that to the respiratory system at times, producing
a roughness in throat, in the lungs, pains across the lower
portion, especially at the diaphragm region. Rather reflex
of the digestion and spleen condition than of organic trouble
in the lung, though the blood condition, as is seen as is
shown from same, and should be expected, produces a roughness
that may cause trouble later on, unless dealt with or met
at the present time. This is seen with heart's action,
circulation, spleen, kidneys, liver, hepatic circulation.
All show the effect of a disordered, disrupted, condition,
produced by the application of improper conditions, often
times exaggerating and intensifying the effect of the
troubles in organs NOT INVOLVED in the condition at the
time of application of such conditions.
Then, to meet these conditions at the present time, it will
be found that this must be taken consistently, persistently,
slow, and the condition may be dealt with only in that
manner - persistence and consistence. All must be taken into
consideration - the mental forces of the body, the physical
conditions, ESPECIALLY each functioning organism as it
involves, through the atomic force of each portion of the
system, to create WITHIN its elemental conditions of that
cell as is produced IN the system to impel the propagation
of cell unit in each functioning system. Do not expect to
function with a cell necessary for spleen's full action in
the kidney, nor in the liver, though each MUST function with
each other to produce a normal condition in the system.
Then, we would apply as these conditions. First take these
properties in the system. These, as we see, are to meet
the needs of the PRESENT existent condition, and not as a
curative in the end.
To 1/2 gallon of rain water, add 6 ounces of plain garden
sage. Reduce this to 1/2 the quantity. Then we would add to
this - taking 8 ounces of rain water, adding 4 ounces of bark
of the wild cherry tree, reducing this to half the quantity -
putting these 2 solutions then to-gether. Then add 4 ounces
of sugar, first dissolved in 1 ounce of hot water (cane sugar
would be preferred). Then we would add this:
Tincture Valerian...................1/2 ounce,
Elixir Stillingia...................1/2 ounce,
Extract of Poke Root.................20 minims,
Elixir Calisaya.....................1/2 ounce,
Iodide of Potassium, 10% solution....20 minims,
Bromide of Potassium, 10% solution...15 minims,
Tincture of Capsici...................1 minim.
Shake the solution well to-gether. Then add 4 ounces pure
grain alcohol.
The dose of this will be teaspoonful 4 times each day.
Drink PLENTY of water while these medicinal properties are
being taken.
Let the diet be those of the rougher foods. No meats,
but whole wheat, or ROLLED wheat. Corn mash, junket, and
jelloes, gelatins, and those conditions of that nature,
keeping PLENTY of water in the system, keeping the lower
portion of the bowels washed thoroughly with enemas, high
enemas, and the vagina should be cleansed often, using
some antiseptic in the douches as are used, such as in
Glyco-Thymoline, or VERY small quantities of Listerine
may be used.
Bathe the body externally, rubbing the spine at such times
(this should be done at least once each day) thoroughly with
crushed ice wrapped in a cloth, until the body GLOWS, see?
this is to produce a reaction to the whole system.
When this has been given, this full quantity, then we would
give from here those conditions as are necessary to be met at
that time.
We are through for the present.
