In the nerve forces we find the body through some of the
functional conditions in the trunk portion of body where
distress is brought to bear on organs in their functioning,
and they affect the nerve system sympathetically, as we have
in the system where a body is as amenable to suggestion as
this body, one then that would be termed over sympathetic -
see? then as here with the nerve condition sympathetically
in the excretory functioning of the liver as produced by the
effect of the gastric forces on digestion, the excretory and
secretive ducts of the liver proper become over sympathetic
and secretive in their functioning. This then we see with
this over amount of secretion allows much of the elements
that should be eliminated in circulation to be carried
back into the circulation and attempt through natural means
to be eliminated from the system through the capillaries.
Hence, the condition over the body of hot and cold flushes,
as it were, at times. The same through the sympathetic
condition with the improper functioning of gland forces that
furnish secretions for the dross to be eliminated then make
over-secretions in the ductless glands of the intestinal
tract. This, then, forms the incentive for improper action
of the colon in its functioning of the nerve and muscular
forces to expel the dross from the system. This then
produces irritation rather than inflammation about the head
of the ascending colon or in the region of the appendix. The
change in the functioning of the ducts and glands in the
liver and about the excretory or secretive ducts, within the
organ itself, produces counter-irritation. This is the
trouble as through this body, more from the over acid state
in the duodenum than from organic forces in the organs, ducts
and glands as mentioned, but producing the taxation to the
functioning of these organs and ducts to the action of the
cerebro-spinal forces has its effect over the system.
In the functioning of the organs themselves we find the
body very good in most of these. The lungs good. Digestive
forces affected as we have given, and acid stomach or
gastric effects in times back that has brought about these
conditions. Heart forces normal, except of the strain as
produced by nerve conditions. The liver as we have given.
The pancreas over taxed in amount of secretion where it
attempts to turn the gastric forces or to produce sufficient
sugar in the system to act with the fermented condition
of the food taken for nutriment to this body. The hepatic
circulation and kidneys often over stimulated, though not
abnormally so at present, but must be above normal in action
to bring about the correct equilibrium for the body. In that
we would give the relief we would keep the suggestions for
the body at present, but to give the correct incentive at the
present time we would prepare this, and take it in this form
and manner.
The leaf of the rag weed, or of what is known at the ambrosia
weed. Six ounces of the weed, green preferable, placed in
12 ounces of water, rain water. Reduce by simmering, not
boiling, to 8 ounces. Strain and while warm add 4 ounces
of grain alcohol with 2 drams of balm of Gilead.
The dose would be teaspoonful four times each day until
the whole quantity is taken, and keep as we have given
the suggestions for the body.
Do that.
(Q) Are there any affections of the gall bladder?
(A) We have given this. Follow as we have given if we would
bring the correct results for the body.
REPORTS
10/30/23 Mr. [
4772]'s letter: "I wrote you sometime ago at
Selma advising you I had never been able to secure the Balm
of Gilead which was given in the reading for Mrs. [
4404] at
..., Fla. I will thank you to advise me where I can secure
it or if there is not something I can get in its place."
