In the nervous system, we find in the nerve forces in the
body we do not always have perfect coordination between the
cerebro-spinal and the sympathetic nervous systems, hence
there are, at times, with the condition in the circulation
being imperfect, or when tissue becomes involved that nerve
forces and solar plexus, become so involved in nerve action,
as to give almost the nervous break-down between the
cerebro-spinal and the sympathetic nervous system. The body
becomes lax through the nerve energy, and the resistance
becomes negative. There is a tired, dull feeling in the
diaphragm, lower in the lungs, head, or seat of pneumogastric
nerve centers, sympathetic then, you see, producing through
its lung forces the over-stimulus to the secondary cardiac
plexus, then we have the effect to the circulation proper,
and a high blood rate and pressure, then often a sub-normal
temperature afterwards.
The organs from the sensory nervous system show the effect of
the condition in the system by their refractory functioning
rather than direct. At such times, the functioning of the
organs themselves, we find, the brain forces are very good in
this body.
The mental forces can control a great deal better than it
does by the constant strain over the system, and the body
shows the effect. The action of the cerebro-spinal with the
system, through training, may effect the more perfect
coordination between the sympathetic and the cerebro-spinal.
The condition as we find through the throat to the larynx and
the lungs, where, at times, the condition gives the reflex
forces and produces the trouble to the pulmonary action as
produced by the nerve forces and the tissue, create the
functioning by the organs themselves.
In the digestive tract, we find the same effect, though
governed by the reflex conditions as much as by the effect
produced to the nerve center there.
The lung shows the condition as produced by the overcharge of
the blood forces and of the condition of the excess tissue
created in the body, and the imperfect elimination produce
there, at times, so the body has distraught conditions
produced and about this portion of the body, and the pain
that comes to the lower end of the lungs and between the
liver and the pyloric end of the stomach as produced by the
liver attempting to create the proper equilibrium in the
system. It is not a condition to be alarmed over, though one
to care for.
The overtaxed condition also produces an overtaxed condition,
at times, through the kidneys and the deranged condition in
the accretion from the bladder.
The greater part to become balanced in the body to bring the
equilibrium, will be to reach in this body through its mental
and spiritual forces, by their control over the system, and
producing coordination in the sympathetic and cerebro-spinal
nervous centers. That may affect the ducts and glands of the
tissue to absorb and eliminate and use, or the forces as now
show through the tissue and produce the dis-eased (not
diseased) condition through portions of the body.
For the physical effects, to produce and assist the proper
elimination in the body, we would add this: To one gallon of
rain water, add:
Yellow Dock Root............2 ounces,
Burdock Root................2 ounces,
Black Haw Bark..............2 ounces,
Prickly Ash Bark............2 ounces,
Elder Flower................4 ounces.
Reduce by simmering, NOT BOILING, to one quart. Strain.
While warm, add: 4 ounces grain alcohol, with 2 drams Balsam
of Tolu. The dose would be a teaspoonful four times each
day. While this is being taken, be careful of the diet, and
not produce too much constipation through the system, but
keep the intestines free and full. Do that. Train the mind
well. Care for the conditions corrected.
