EC: Yes, we have the body, [
4530]. Now, in the physical
forces of the body we find disturbances that are aggravating
to the physical functioning of organs, and - as we find -
these may be corrected, that the body may function the nearer
normal. There is, as we find, in the cerebro-spinal nervous
system some impingements that have been produced by
conditions or disorders as have existed in the system. These
at the time - these ailments - made for those thickening of
the tissue about segments, and have produced pressure that
has given improper incentives through the mesenteric system,
or the intestinal tract. These, in producing toxins in the
system, have brought about disorders with the organs of
elimination, as WELL as to the circulatory system itself; so
that there are periods that come and go when the disorders
are more severe, or more aggravating than at others. The
pressures being in the region of the solar plexus, or the
lower portion of same, and in the lumbar region, make for the
disorders as have to do with the digestive system, the
eliminating system, the conditions as exist in the blood
supply, the headaches, those conditions as make for pressures
reflexly in the sensory system - so that the organs of same
become at times accentuated in their actions, as the body is
able to hear better at some times than others; at others we
find the vision gives disorders; again we will find the
throat and bronchi will give some distress, more as burning
sensations; then, again, as of phlegm, not from just cold,
but seemingly as result from pressures in the bronchi, or
from the stomach, and from the upper portion of the left
lung. These are more of a REFLEX than of the causes, for -
as given - the causes are pressures and impingements as exist
in the 8th, 9th and 10th dorsal, and in the 3rd and 4th
lumbar plexus. This condition at times, reflexly, produces
that aggravation to the lower limbs, so that the circulation
is disturbed there. This makes also for those conditions in
which at times - not always, for any condition that will
clarify the system as to poisons aids in their functioning -
these becoming at times such that the kidneys in their
functioning are over active; at others not as free in acting
as they should be. This makes for that distress, then, in
the hepatic circulation, or that functioning between the
liver and the kidneys, so that the disturbances in the
stomach itself, or particularly in the duodenum, or the
duodenal orifice, becomes - as it were - expanded, and
acidity becomes the result in the system. There is less of
the activity in the peristaltic movement of the colon than
there should be, produced by a low temperature, as is
produced by the system attempting to supply sufficient of
those of the serums, or of the fluids of the system, to carry
on its normal functioning. Heartburn, or indigestion, the
result of same.
In meeting, then, the needs of the conditions with this body,
[
4530], we are speaking of, present in this room, we would
first make those proper corrections and adjustments, so that
the lesions in these areas as given are broken up; making
for, during that same period, that of the proper correlation
of the gastric juices of the stomach proper, so that the
blood supply becomes a nearer NORMAL reaction, so that the
capillary and internal circulation does not make for that
feeling as occurs at times of easy tired; again as,
apparently, that the outer body and the inner body are almost
separated by conditions or feelings in the system. These, as
we find, are the ACTIVITIES of the system attempting to
adjust itself.
With these corrections, with those properties as will make
for CLEANSING the body, correcting those subluxations and
breaking up the lesions, will make for a nearer normal
condition; and the body ridding the cause, will remove many
of those disorders as occur in action with these conditions.
We would use also during those periods, to make for rest,
that of the violet ray; this applied PARTICULARLY across the
body at the diaphragm region, in the solar plexus center from
the back, solar plexus center from the front, that there be
sufficient of the electrical forces as make for vibrations in
system to coordinate with the centers as are being relieved
of the pressure. Ready for questions.
(Q) Has the body any organic trouble?
(A) Only functioning, through those pressures on the nervous
system, as makes for the distortion in action; not organic
troubles.
(Q) Why does the body feel depressed at times?
(A) With as much pressure on the central brain of the
system as is exhibited in this region, it's a WONDER the body
doesn't feel more depressed oftener! Other than being highly
mentally balanced, there would be more depressions and more
melancholia! We would remove the pressures, and we will
find a condition of pep, vitality, buoyancy, and a brighter
outlook on the world.
(Q) Should this be done osteopathically or chiropractically?
(A) Should be done, as we find, osteopathically; for with
the corrections there must be sufficient of the manipulation
to make coordination in the CIRCULATORY, as well as in the
muscular and nervous systems, so that the general treatment
for those radial centers from the solar plexus to head, from
solar plexus to lumbar and sacral region, these must have
their proper COORDINATING, as well as JUST removing pressure
in those conditions, or from those conditions in dorsal and
lumbar region.
(Q) Has the body any lung irritation?
(A) Only when there are those reactions from the circulation
and from that in the bronchi, rather than lung. The BURNING
through there is in the bronchi, as given, rather than lung
proper.
(Q) How often and how long at a time should the violet ray
be given?
(A) When the manipulations and adjustments are made, which
should be at least twice each week in the beginning, give
the violet ray in those portions of system as given, for one
and a half to five minutes. This range being from the
beginning to that wherein the system is relaxed most, will
aid most - for with much application without a relaxation,
there must be the corresponding re-effect upon the system;
that is, to give five minutes in the beginning would irritate
more than aid, see?
(Q) What causes insomnia?
(A) This, as has been outlined, the NERVOUSNESS, and the
tendency of the brain to be active under abnormal conditions;
for when pressure in the cerebro-spinal system, especially
where the sympathetic centers are radial direct from same,
as in solar plexus, these tend to make for sudden awakenings,
and then the inability to anaesthetize self by even rest, or
counting sheep even.
(Q) Will the condition entirely disappear if treatment is
followed? and how long will it take?
(A) Two to three weeks should, with the proper responses -
and not, now, because the body feels better - don't think it
can commence and do just as it has been doing! Where the
mental forces have been overtaxed so, so that the strain on
the whole nervous system - and as soon as it commences to
feel better start again to overtax the body, physically and
mentally, won't aid much! Take TIME to get in the proper
physical condition, and it'll save much later on. We are
through for the present.
