First, the BLOOD SUPPLY indicates that disturbance in the
liver itself, in the inability to function either as the
excretory forces demand or as the secretive forces demand.
These conditions, however, have been produced as much by the
adherence of conditions in the intestinal tract as of the
organ's disturbance itself. So, one produces the other
- but THESE conditions must be considered together when
applications would be made that would be of a PERMANENT
relief to the body. The blood supply shows a heaviness, lack
of the proper distribution or that thrown into the system to
make for the proper eliminations, drosses being carried back
into the system cause or produce the disturbances, or that
hardened condition, or tendency towards same, or spotted
conditions as exist in liver, and THIS in turn gives that
effect to the circulation as produces those distresses in the
heart's activity itself, though no ORGANIC condition exists
there. Also in the region of the duodenum there is shown a
tendency for FULLNESS, and the area as should be covered by
the digestive forces in system are not PROPERLY distributed,
or are SMOOTH rather than of their proper relationship.
In the caecum region, not as of appendicitis or of that as
causes for that disorder in this region as ordinary. There
are those adhesions that are produced by the lack of proper
peristaltic MOVEMENTS through the system, this causing a
thinning of the walls and the attempts to produce the proper
eliminations through the intestines, aiding the blood - with
those foods taken, and with the properties taken - to make or
cause adhesions. This has raised the pressure in the blood
supply. This has caused those temperatures to rise at times.
This makes for those pains as felt in the lower part of the
stomach or the duodenum, and in the bowels themselves - see?
This also produces that condition, or that heaviness in the
blood supply in which there are at times great variations
as to the numbers in white cell and in red blood cell. This
causes the nausea, the pains in shoulders and arms, and -
as has been termed at times - an acute condition, or that
of angina pectorins. This, as we find, is a RESULT - not a
cause, though the RESULTS may be VERY detrimental to the body
unless corrections are made.
In the NERVE SYSTEM, we find these have been allayed or
assuaged often by the use of properties as to produce a
sedative effect to the nervous system. This has made a
tendency for some of the larger ganglia in the system to
become in a form or manner, as it were, deadened to the
conditions; so we have in the extremities at times as of
a pulsation in the body itself - that is, the structural
portion - feet, hands, tend to feel full, stiff, as does
the shoulder, the lower portion of the back, through the
shoulders and under the shoulder blades, around the neck,
this fullness in the face at times, with the blood flow to
the head; that tendency towards shortness of breath is a
result of the NERVOUS reactions in the system. This wholly
sympathetic condition, or produced by that of hindered
FUNCTIONING of organs.
In the functioning of the ORGANS themselves, these are much
as has been described as how these are disturbed. There
are those disorders, to be sure, from the lower hepatic
circulation as related to the kidneys in their eliminations;
for with the disturbance in the liver area, with the
disturbance for the excretory and secretive functioning
of the liver itself, we find these show an excess of those
drosses, and clayey or reddish sediment forms in urine - a
heaviness in the kidneys; these are results, NOT causes -
though causes may arise from such disturbances.
Now, in meeting the needs of the conditions as we find them
for this body, [
4461] we are speaking of, these - we find
- will be hard to be dealt with unless there may be gained
something of a sympathetic feeling for those applications as
have been outlined for the body. Would be well, then, that
first those who are in sympathy with those sources of this
information make overtures in a PROPER way and manner; NOT as
of something out of the ordinary, NOT as someone attempting
to rule or direct, but rather as one feeling the interest in,
the seriousness of the situation and conditions, offering a
channel for proper corrections. These also will be of some
trouble to handle out of an institution, yet these MAY be
properly done - as we find - even in the home, will the time,
the patience, the precautions necessary be taken for same
to be handled, see? THIS, as WE find, would bring a nearer
NORMAL reaction through the system, requiring time, requiring
persistence, and requiring the PATIENCE.
First we would begin with RESTING of the body for at least
ten days, see? Go to bed! Apply over the liver AREA those
hot castor oil packs. Keep them up for at least two to three
hours each day, see? During that period also we would take
all the OLIVE oil the body WILL assimilate, in SMALL doses
- half a teaspoonful every two hours whenever the body is
awake. We would, every SECOND day - that is, a day lying
between the two - apply those packs of Epsom salts saturated
solution across the CAECUM, see? that's the lower intestine
here, you see, or the large intestine - especially in the
right side, across the bladder and across the kidney area -
for twenty to thirty minutes each day, just once a day - you
see - during that period, and every other day, until there
is the full reaction from the liver and a drainage from the
whole intestinal tract. There will be found that during
that period there will be some nausea, some pains as of gas,
some as of passages of blood - and some may appear even in
the stool, but those of the whole intestinal system would
be CLEANSED by this. During that period there should be
given only such as THIS as the food values:
Fruit juices of mornings. Rolled oats or of whole-grained
cereals during the noontime. Of evenings there may be given
broths, with brown bread, and a little stimuli as of coffee,
tea or milk. Not a great deal of foods to be given, but
practically all of these are BLOOD building nature - yet a
TENDENCY for proper elimination.
After there has been a full cleansing, we would then CHANGE
as to the treatments. We would give every other day an
eighth grain of the animated ash, and apply over the liver
area - and over the central portion of the body - the
ultra-violet ray, thirty to forty minutes after each dosage
of the ash is taken, see? Then begin with a little heavier
diet. It may be necessary during the first ten days that
high enemas be given to assist in REMOVING the feces from
the system, that is PRODUCING the great troubles - see?
ALSO, when the ash and the ultra-violet are given, begin with
those of the osteopathic manipulation and adjustments through
the whole system, and we will find we will bring a better and
a nearer normal condition for the body.
Drink all the water as is desired during this period of
taking the packs or the oil internally. Ready for questions.
We will find that this will reduce those pressures, and
there will be no return of those contractions. There will be
nausea, and there will be pains through the whole intestinal
system, but THIS - as we find - will be much better than
operative measures; for the blood supply, the whole condition
is in no way in a position for operative or strong internal
medicinal measures. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND
5/06/31 Questions submitted by wife via Mrs. Boggs: "Some
months ago the body had attacks of something doctors said was
angina pectoris. If he has similar attacks, what shall we do
to relieve? Is the heart affected? Is there a spot on
liver? He is quite a sufferer and so many know of the great
effort he has made to get something done, and failed, that
many are interested."
