IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, in the centers in cerebro-spinal nerve
system do we find the seat, or the first beginning, of the
troubles of this body. These we find begun in the sacral and
in the ilium plexuses. First as a heaviness to the sacral
region, with indications of a full circulation. Kidneys
heavy in their excretions. Then we begun to have in the
centers from locomotion those contractions of muscular forces
in tendron, as in the knee, in the sciatic nerve, in the
shoulder and brachial plexus; this lesion thus formed
producing the lazy, or subnormal, action of kidney, leaving
uric acid in the system. The body vitally strong resisted
through hepatic circulation. Hence with inflammation
produced, the mesenteric gland took on this inflammation.
Hence the lower dorsal (in the 12th) showed the reaction, and
the digestion became bad - a nerve digestion, taxed through
hypogastric nerve plexus and the ganglion that gives
the nutriment to the ilium region became inflamed,
sympathetically, gave reaction in the pneumogastric plexus.
The system taking on these inflammations, and not eliminated
through their proper channels, sediments begun to show in
hepatic circulation and in capillary circulation, attacking
the lymphatic centers, causing contraction in arm, in limbs,
in body, producing neuralgial conditions in face, in neck.
These were the fore-runners of conditions now existing in
this body, [
4529] we are speaking of.
In the nerve system at present, we find so overtaxed in
cerebro-spinal, in the ilium and sacral plexus, that each
center where sympathetic nerve connects with the ganglions
fed by the cerebro-spinal cord proper, shows the contraction,
and the contraction in muscular forces along the spine, such
as to even curve the end of spine and bring the impinioned
condition in the cerebro-spinal cord in many centers (that
is, the plexus that comes from the cerebro-spinal cord; not
the cord itself). This we find in the 3rd segment of coccyx,
in the 2nd lumbar, and throughout the sacrum. In the 12th
dorsal, in the 8th dorsal, in the 1st, 2nd, dorsal, the 4th
and 3rd cervical; all of these show these contractions. In
the reaction of these we find a blood supply that is given
with a liver torpid in action, yet the secretions in the
mesenteric system often become alarming to the body, for the
digestion as taking place in the intestines is of more of
mesenteric conditions than of the condition that brings
poisons, or of that of constipation.
IN THE ORGANS OF THE BODY, we find all at present under the
strain of these conditions as are produced, and have been
produced, yet not organically deranged, save as under the
strain of the body.
Then to bring the normal condition for this body, and to
relieve those distresses, we would either, through the
operation for the sympathetic nerve system, disconnect those
at these centers and allow the cerebro-spinal to supply and
relieve the system and become sympathetically deranged, or
we would through care, patience and attention, apply these
properties to the body and bring about the assimilation and
eliminations through their proper channels, until we bring
equilibrium throughout the body. These would be the manner
to bring these about:
First, be necessary that hot vapor baths be given the body
until the body creates an elimination through capillary
circulation; straining and weakening on the system, yet
taking after such treatment those properties that will force
the system, physically, to be able to bring back that vital
force necessary to give the correct incentives throughout
the system. Taking such vapor baths at least once each week.
After the body has rested from such baths, massage and knead
into the body equal parts of pure grain alcohol and olive
oil, in all cerebro-spinal centers. After these have
been taken (baths and rubs) for three to four weeks, begin
through the massage and neuropathic forces to correct the
impingements in the cerebro-spinal system; in coccyx, in
sacral, in lumbar, in dorsal, in cervical, adjust a little
at the time.
Diet will be in accord with the response the body makes
to these treatments. When these have been taken for three
months, we would give further instructions from here.
We are through for the present.
