TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, the conditions we find in this body: There are many that are involved, the specific cause of the condition being one of a condition involving the nervous systems and the functioning of the organs, especially those of the pelvic region. Now these are conditions as we find in this body, Mrs. [4672], we are speaking of.
2. The body through the blood supply, we find, is deficient in the ability to meet the inroads made by the depleted conditions as exist in the vital forces, going to make up the resistive elements in the blood supply.
3. There is temperature at times, and again a subnormal temperature, the vital forces becoming so depleted as to give no resistance within the body, to overcome the effect of the weakness to the centers and muscular forces, and all of the system as has to do with the circulation involved as it is.
4. The nervous systems, we find, have become lax in their ability to function normally, the centers all becoming distraught by the inroads of the nerve-racking conditions through the system.
5. The body always suffers pain from the conditions, but the drain on the system causes the troubles with the vital forces of the emunctories, the lymphatics and the circulation, both of the nerve and blood, you see. Some portions of the functioning organs become involved from time to time, such as we have through the stomach from the weakened condition of the nerves and pneumogastrics - refuses to allow the forces to assimilate, and meets all of the conditions with a repugnance, as it were.
6. Over-taxed hepatic circulation, very poor elimination, either through the liver or kidneys, over-taxed however, especially through the kidneys, hence the heaviness, dullness, over the system, especially across the sacral region.
7. The organs of the pelvis, through their weakened condition, do not function in their proper way and have long produced the drain on the vital forces in the body.
8. The body may have to be operated on for these conditions, but it had better be prepared for it before it attempts it, under the present conditions.
9. To meet the needs to make the resistive forces, through the system, to regain recuperative powers within this body, instead of giving medicinal properties in the system, we would massage the body well, and equalize the circulation, and assist in the elimination, and stimulate the solar plexus center, so as to gain stimulation from the foods given the body. We would massage well into the body from the solar plexus, down, and lower across the abdomen, GOLDEN SEAL. This is placed on the body and then massaged in.
10. Let the nourishment be that which will give recuperative forces and strengthen the body throughout.
11. Some stimulus of spirits fermenti, but only with other materials, such as with milk or eggs - very little - but such as to keep and stimulate to the body; preferably that burned, with the alcohol out.
12. Massage the body well so that the body will rest. Start the elimination, so that assimilation will take place. Build up, to make the system eliminate and we may be able to prevent and to keep away forces as might develop through the lungs here, which is a reflex condition at present. BE CAREFUL THAT THE BODY DOES NOT TAKE COLD. We are through.
