TEXT

1. LS: You will answer the following questions: Tell, specifically, the cause for the continual pains through the whole head and eyes, also pain toward the end of the spine. Give a diet which would be best for this body.
2. EC: Now in the conditions that exist in this body, that are abnormal, there are specific causes as produce much of the distress to the body at times. This, as we see, has not produced a continuous strain, but rather that when specific conditions arise and pressure is produced on certain nerves, and the circulation becomes involved thereby, and as the cycle of that functioning center, or portion of the body, is involved, the condition arises. This we see more to the left side, you see, than to the other, for those centers are the ones more involved. This, and through this, we will see, are the specific causes and conditions producing this in the body. There are other conditions with the functioning organs that assist in producing this, and must be corrected for the permanent relief of such conditions, but these are the conditions as we find in this body, [4597]. First:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY IN THE SYSTEM, while we find the circulation, as a whole, very good, there are at times carried from poor elimination those properties in the system that hinder in the functioning of organs, and also that bring distress to much of the tissue and the ligaments of the body, as we have in the lower end of the spinal system, where the brush end of the cerebrospinal nerve center comes in conjunction with the organs of the pelvis and of the locomotory nerves. This we find where centers have become so involved as to produce in, and about, the ganglion much inflammation from the acid as is left in the system by the poor circulation. At such times, we find the blood carrying then uric acid forces to the extent of giving the capillary circulation even the effect of this. The balance in blood system, between the elemental red and white, are very good, though the breaking down of the cell in the white supply sufficient of the leukocyte force to meet the needs of such conditions produce with the condition specific in the nerve system much of the distress caused to the head, when such circulation meets in its cycle.
4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, we find as this: In the cerebrospinal nerve system we find in the lower lumbar region, just above the sacral plexus, that condition in the nerve sheath itself, or the perineurial sheath, and in the perineurium nerve, that distress as is brought from poor elimination that pressure on this nerve center, and ganglia, as to cause in the center, where the nerve enters the head, that distress to the left lobe especially, for we find it comes from the right side, for it comes to the head and circles the body and enters other side. THIS is the specific and direct cause of condition in the body there. In the fifth cervical we find where the center of nerves, that govern those of the sensory system, become involved also. This, then, brings to the internal nerve center that reflex force that gives, particularly, the distress to the frontal portion of face and eyes. Reflex these conditions be. In the sympathetic system, the body is very well balanced, though with this continual condition arising in system has given the distress to the whole body.
5. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF ORGANS THEMSELVES, brain forces very good. Organs of the sensory system, for the conditions that have existed in the body, some are exceptionally acute in their functioning. Eyes and ears show the effect of this improper vibration reaching in through this condition, as is given from the cervical center, with that vibration as given through the perineurial nerve entering the brain at the first cervical. Hence, at times, the distressing pain at the base of the brain to the top of the head, you see, through the portion of the brain itself.
6. In the lungs, larynx, bronchials, circulation very good. Organs themselves very good, though at times, in the secretions to the throat, we find the excess, and the body has first the dryness to the throat, again the inclination to swallow.
7. In the intestinal tract and digestion we find these are very good, though there has been an excess of gastric juices in the system, and the body has in times back suffered from gastritis.
8. In the liver, pancreas and hepatic circulation, at present are above the normal, for with the reflexes as is caused from the condition in the ganglia, above the sacral plexus, we find the real plexus forces acting through the hepatic circulation. That is, above the normal.
9. Kidneys, in their functioning, do not secrete or throw off from the system in sufficient to relieve the system at all times. Hence we have the dull, leadened, activity in times back of liver, which has raised the kidneys in their functioning, and they are abnormal in their size at present. Inflammation produced through all of the organs here. Not to the excess that become detrimental, when handled properly.
10. R E L I E F - To give the relief, and the permanent relief for this body, for the present condition, there must be treated for the local effect, and for local conditions, as is found in the first, second cervical to fourth and sacral region, fourth lumbar and sacral region. We would massage well into this portion of the body those properties as found in Golden Seal, and give the vibrations of the Violet Ray forces over the whole portion of body along the spine especially, in the sacral and lumbar region and the upper cervical region. Give that twice each day. Massage well first with the hands, then giving the Violet Ray forces to the body for the condition in the intestinal tract, the liver, and for the hepatic circulation, and to meet the needs of the body take this into the system, after the body has overcome the conditions at present. Take this:

    Gum Camphor.............20 grains,
Sulphate of Morphia....1/2 grain,
Muriated Ammonia........30 grains.

11. Mix well, and make into twenty pellets. One would be taken each evening. This will be found to give the tingling sensation to the capillary circulation, for it is a stimulus to the system in giving the blood force that property that will make the correlation between red and white blood supply, especially in capillary, and to meet the leukocyte need in body.
12. For the diet, we would take those properties especially found in whole wheat, crushed (not separated) and made into the gruel in the different forms. Eggs with this. Little sugar with this, and much of green vegetable matter as possible. No meats, save of wild game. That may be eaten. Do that for this body, [4597].
