The disturbing conditions we find are in the metabolism of
the body, which, as we find, is of the taxation to the nerve
system, and is producing such conditions as these in the body
through the strain as is produced on various centers of the
nerve systems - for, as we see, the higher vibrations are
the base of the disturbance, for in those centers which
direct the functioning of the sensory system, from the
cerebro-spinal or those centers through which coordination,
and the metabolism and katabolism of the system is produced,
these show the strain, and reflexly these conditions in the
sensory system bring disturbance. With a constant strain
on the sensory system, the reaction is either to the eyes
or ears, or throat - in that at times a fullness is produced
through the vocal box proper, and apparently the thyroids
do not function normally. Again there is seen halting in
speech. Not impediment - not troublesome - but the necessity
to stop for a second and swallow, as it were, to produce a
normal reaction in blood and nerve supply for speech making.
Again we find that there is the tingling sensation, as
it were, to the auditory nerves. Not that the hearing is
impaired. Not that there is a thickening, even, of the
walls of any of the tissue in the sound or auditory producing
system, but a ringing or tingling much as if water was
running, or as if water had been in ears. Again we find the
eyes show as if there was inflammation in the orb proper -
not hurting, but rather the burning sensation. Again there
is the feeling as if the whole outer skin, or the whole
cuticle feels as if it is too large or too small for
the functioning of the body from within. Those are just
reflexes, and are symptoms, as might be said, of the
condition existing in the body, and the warning against
allowing this high tension to exist without giving the
system the proper reaction for its normal correction. When
such reactions again show in the lower centers, and the
sympathetic system is involved, we find the sensation as of
sinking or rising, or as if the heart's action would become
involved in same. Also, sympathetically there comes the same
reaction in digestion, when the hypogastric and pneumogastric
nerve plexus become involved, and there is distraughtness,
or lack of control, apparently, to the functioning of the
intestinal system - the same as is seen in the functioning
of the organs of the pelvis, when an over taxation causes the
system to apparently TINGLE, as it were, with the inability
of containing self, or of coordinating properly.
Now, to meet the needs of these conditions, there is the
necessity of the body's bringing the closer coordination
between the sympathetic, cerebro-spinal, and sensory nerve
system, and supplying in the building of the forces in the
cellular building portions of system that necessary for the
stabilizing of the reactory forces between the nerve systems
of the body and the purely physical functioning; for the body
is high strung, as would be termed normally. Brilliant of
mind, and brain forces respond to the reaction of sensation
of vibration of those forces that build in the system - for,
as is seen, the body mentally - and the body in its nerve
reaction - would respond as quickly to color forces as it
would to medicinal properties; so medicine within the system
would be destructive, destroying that reaction that is
necessary for coordination. But the VIBRATION as is
NECESSARY to coordinate these conditions should be applied,
which would be found in using the Radio-Active Appliance,
with the negative center applied to the umbilicus - and
through that anode take those properties of both Tincture
of Iodine and Spirits of Camphor, alternated on alternate
application - both in a normal solution, see? These should
be taken or applied to the body every second day, as the body
rests - and the body should rest, mentally and physically,
at least one hour each day, preferably after luncheon hour.
This should be made a rule of the body's - for entering into
the silence with self, taking on the vibrations of those
properties necessary to create the equilibrium, will bring
strength and ENDURANCE - which the body desires. We are
ready for questions.
(Q) What causes the occasional spell of neuralgia?
(A) This the same reaction when as applied to the emunctory
circulation, see? This incoordinating, through high tension
of the system and the metabolism and katabolism of the system
not coordinating with the nerve and blood supply of the body.
Taxation, over taxation, to the whole physical and mental
body; or, as would be called in common parlance, an over
taxation to the mental for the physical condition of body:
or, as would be termed in higher medicina, that of inertia
of the physical to supply necessary elements for the higher
spiritual and mental elements of the individual.
(Q) Why does reading make the eyes red at times, and what
can be done to relieve same?
(A) Just those conditions as have been given as the cause,
and those applications - and consistency with same - will
remedy and cure same.
(Q) What will thicken the hair?
(A) The better circulation - for, as seen, this condition
was caused by those elements that sapped the vital strength
of the body, and during that period caused all of the
reaction through the capillary circulation to be so
increased, that, in elimination, much of those elements of
the capillary or epidermis in the condition caused these
conditions to come about, see? With the correction of the
circulation and of the nerve supply - then any irritation
that will stimulate circulation through the scalp, especially
such as that of the massage with the crude oil - CLEANSING
with a twenty percent (20%) solution of grain alcohol - will
thicken and bring better conditions to the scalp, and more of
the suite of hair, see?
(Q) What will make the body stronger physically?
(A) That as just given. Creating the metabolism and the
katabolism, so that there is the perfect coordination,
we will BUILD the body strong physically, and give
the resistance as necessary for the functioning of
the mental within.
(Q) Is there any indication of goitre?
(A) Only that fullness as occurs at times. Hence that
application - in this rebuilding - of those properties and
vibration of Iodine in system, that will add to ALL of the
ductless glands' functioning, and prevent any stoppage -
or creation of direct of indirect obstruction - in any of
this portion of the system. Hence the strengthening of the
physical forces through the application of those vibrations
as have been set forth. The one for the ductless portions of
the system, the other (Camphor - and the alcohol necessary as
the carrier as in each) to create that strengthening to the
muscles and to the muscular tissue in tendon and in muscle,
see?
(Q) The battery should be used each day?
(A) Should be used every OTHER day - not each day, but the
body should rest and enter into self's own meditation for one
hour EACH day. Every other day apply the battery vibrations.
One day there would be used the Iodine anode - the next
day the application is made it would be with the Camphor
application.
All this is from within self, and it is not necessary for
any medicinal properties, or the attending of physicians;
for this may be applied by self and in self's own
conditions, see?
We are through for the present.
