EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now the conditions we find
in this body: There are several abnormal conditions that
give an aggravated effect over the whole system affecting
the circulation and nerves and the digestive tract and
the functioning of some of the organs. Now these are the
conditions as we find them in this body. Through the blood
supplying forces we find the blood carries some of the pus
forming bacilli in the system, this being produced in some
specific places in the system. The number of red blood
corpuscles are somewhat deficient, hence the tired, ill
feeling comes over the body after either excitement or
physical exertions. The body quickly responds after mental
forces, hence the number of the white are sufficient, and
at times over-burdened. This, we see, has to do with the
recuperative forces and with the lymphatic circulation,
making at times, with the excitement to the body the
excess of secretions thrown out in the system.
The body is easy to cause perspiration at times from
excitement. Quick to cause too much secretion in the throat
and larynx at times, see. In the nervous forces in the body
we find the cerebro-spinal center or brain forces very good.
The body is well developed through the mental and spiritual
forces within the system.
The strain on portions of the body causes physical conditions
in portions of the body that gives the overtaxed condition
through certain portions of the body; as we have here in
the lumbar region, with continual strain on the feet. The
segments at the fourth, third and second lumbar show the
strain that is put on this portion of the body. The effect
this strain has on the nerve, the tissue and the ligaments
of the organs of the pelvis, especially does it give the
taxation to the functioning of the ovaries and produces
then pains through and in the uterus at the periods.
The condition of the organs themselves: Through the larynx
and upper portion of the circulation at the head and neck, we
find some of the condition showing from where the condition
has produced in the blood, that is the antrum to the left
side, especially to all of that in the part where pus forms.
Some of these need local treatment and this we will find will
be assisted by using for this the wash for the mouth and the
gargle for the throat made of a strong tea made from prickly
ash bark, ten parts or nine parts, to one part salt, as
a gargle, to use as that to rub on the gums, we would add
more salt, common table salt, but powdered very fine.
Through the lungs we find the body very good. The
clarification of the blood through these are very good. The
heart action is fast at times, though not especially, or
not in a specific way of high blood pressure. Through the
digestive tract we have the effect the nerve strain on the
system showing its reflex action in the pneumogastric nerves,
hence the neurotic condition that apparently exhibits at
times through the digestive organs, more of the nervous
digestion than indigestion than of an organic condition;
that is the secretions necessary to give proper digestion
functioning spasmodically at times.
The liver shows the effect of this condition as do the
kidneys when we have back overtaxed by the overstrain either
from the condition through the pelvis or from conditions
through the hepatic circulation produced by the nervous
condition.
To give the proper incentives to the system to produce the
perfect assimilation and the better elimination through
all of the system besides using the wash and gargle for
the throat and teeth.
We would take in the system, this: Plain phosphate of soda
one-half teaspoonful in a glass of water every morning before
breakfast - every second day. There would be added to this
one drop of a ten percent solution of iodide of potassium
every fifth day. There would be added to this same,
irregardless [irrespective] of the drop of iodide, you
see, five drops of syrup of sarsaparilla.
The body should take a specific exercise for the condition
through the pelvis every evening before retiring for three to
five minutes, a bending circular motion of the body with the
hands on the hips, not bending down, but in circles. After
this exercise is taken the spine, from the center of the back
to the end, should be rubbed first with cold water and then a
coarse rough towel to bring circulation to each segment. Do
this.
Keep the foods of vegetable matter rather than meats. If
meats are taken at all let them be fish or wild game; as much
of rough cereal as possible; not much tea or coffee. When
this is followed for some four to six weeks the body will
feel and differ in vibrations through the body. Not much
trouble, but many need correcting, see.
(Q) What are the conditions of the eyes and ears.
(A) The reflex condition to the sensory organism produced
from the condition in the throat. Through the exercises the
new flow of blood we will find an improvement to the organs
of the sensory system. These are purely reflex; not local or
organic conditions. Do as we have given. We are through.
