TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now the abnormal conditions as we find in this body here, [4836] we are speaking of, have more to do with the functioning of the organs as produced by the overcharge of the blood forces than we have of anything else in the system. No organic conditions are affected other than the functioning of the organs as affected by the circulation and the nerve forces in the system.
Now, these are the conditions as we find in this body:
FIRST, IN THE BLOOD SUPPLYING FORCES we find an over amount of the blood supply itself for the body. We find that the pressure of the blood itself is above normal forces so that the action with certain of the glands and of the ducts throughout the system are overcharged [with the] effects them which produce to these in the body, those conditions that appear at times, or the trouble with the blood force in their action in that portion of the body taking effect through the trunk portion of the body and effects [to] the glands both of the pneumogastrics [and] those of the spleen forces, and those overcharged forces along the left side of the body. The pressure being at present 184, pulsation at present 84, respiration at present time 14. The action of this pressure against those of certain portions of the brain action and its forces must be alleviated, or we would have trouble with the brain supply forces with the rest of the portions of the body.
NOW, IN THE NERVE FORCES we find a reaction from the condition as exists in the circulation about the 9th dorsal. We find here a relaxed condition that appears at times, though at present time is almost normal, so that its effects show through those conditions. Or [there] are affected by conditions of relaxed forces which have to do with the distribution of the red blood corpuscles as they are used by the brain forces, and from those distract those which is carried on in the spleen. So, that across thisportion of the body there is a fullness at times, which becomes troublesome to the whole body in those produced more from a nerve contraction than an organic condition. The blood functioning shows the feelings in all portions of the body, affects the nerve ganglion here at the 9th dorsal and relaxes to such an extent as to produce a plethoric condition, [as] to engorge those forces and those of the nervous condition as produced by the circulation carried here.
No organic condition, neither does it affect the digestive tract through those channels, though reflexes through other portions of the body. But those are not of an organic nature but of nervous forces, as we have described here, that affect both the pneumogastric [and] the duodenum, and the pancrean forces as they are produced throughout the system.
Those things or properties that would be taken to alleviate this condition would only hinder rather than assist, because then we [would] have a reaction of the kidneys, then through the toxins those which [would] carry forces to the heart [that would] make it hard to carry its forces for the body. Yet we do not find an organic condition of the heart forces [that would] apply to the body, but we only find the condition through the nerve forces and the blood supply as produced in those conditions as we found them in the body.
ITS HEART ACTION, FUNCTION OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES: First with the brain forces and forms of those in the body which it affects. The brain action is well balanced in the body for mentality. One [who] is capable of developing larger perceptive abilities of any business that comes to mind. Yet, at times, with the action of the larger forces, there is a reaction to the whole system that seems to affect the heart forces. It is the action of the nerve and the blood supply, as we have given, reacting through those of the secondary cardiac plexus which is in indirect relation to the 9th dorsal plexus which affects the heart action, and is not of an organic condition of the heart, or brain, but with the circulation and the nerves.
The action of the lung forces is to supply to the body sufficient forces for outside work or better give oxygen to supply the clarification in the over quantities of the blood within the body. It is necessary to have plenty of oxygen to carry this on well within the body itself; here are produced by the digestive heart forces in those splenic conditions not sufficient air, the lung forces are not impaired from the action in the digestive tract throughout; the stomach and intestinal forces in their action are good for the condition that exists.
The reaction of the liver we find here from indirect eating at times, and not the condition that exists in the body that affects the heart forces or the action which the body feels here. The heart actions and forces itself as we [have] found, come with the relation in the condition of the amount of blood forces or blood supply within the system, and the condition is affected by the nerve forces. And [it] is the condition [that] as is affected by the toxins formed in the system when we are given properties to resist or allay the blood pressure that applies to the heart forces, and does not find an organic heart condition that would affect this body here.
The action of the liver is affected by the circulation, and the heart action shows the condition of the blood forces in the over amount of hepatic circulation. The quantity and quality of blood forces in the body at present is [are] more than we had it a few weeks before [GD's note: No record of earlier reading]; here we have some conditions existing through the body where we have trouble with the digestive forces and the action of the gall and pancrean forces in the system.
TO ALLEVIATE OR BRING THIS BODY TO A NORMAL CONDITION we would take into this system, then, apply to the body, those properties that will properly produce correct vibrations throughout the body. By vibrations we mean that which will give proper distribution of all the blood forces so that they are thrown to the extremities as well as to the trunk portion of the body, and not be trouble with the conditions of the portions of the body feeling or seeming to be affected by the circulation - dead tired, no returning property powers in the body, you see.
We would take this in the system each morning:
Three grains of common salt in two ounces of water and add to this at the time two drops of Syrup of Peppermint with one minimum Wintergreen. The effect of this is to supply action to the forces of the charged system, produce proper distribution of the blood forces. This will be necessary to be taken for some time in the system.
After this has been taken for from 3 to 5 days we would apply to the 9th dorsal a plate of battery forces charged in this way:
To gallon and half of rain water we would add 1 pound Willow Charcoal (not plain), one and quarter pounds of Copper Sulfate, 6 drams of Zinc and one ounce of Sulfuric Acid, C.P. This will only have one hole attached to one plate metal of carbon attached to cold or chilled steel, which would be forced, or in which it would be charged and one plate attached to the 9th dorsal each evening for fifteen minutes. The hand, first one then and the other would be placed in this water while this is being applied to the body.
Do this. We will bring the proper circulation to the body here. We will find we will be relieved of the blood pressure forces, we will have relief through the heart action, kidneys and intestinal forces, and bring this body to a normal condition.
We are through.
