The action of this force, or condition existing in the body,
to the mental man has been of such nature that we produce to
the sensory system, or to that portion of the brain situated
here in the frontal part above the left eye, a sense of fear,
until we allow the whole nervous system to get under the
control of this condition, in the body here, in the left
side, until we reduce the whole physical body to a state of
collapse, or that of improper eliminating through any of the
other branches of the eliminating powers in the body: that
of the secretions of the kidneys, that of the excretion from
the system of forces thrown off in the sweat glands, until we
produce a chilling of the whole body in itself, or that of
the fear of itself of the destruction of the body. The
reflexes from these conditions existing in the body show
themselves through the proper channels of digestion
throughout the system, or the lack of these channels
themselves to supply the proper nutriment to itself, until
it became of a degenerate nature, hence the inability to the
stomach in itself to digest those of a hard, or of a nature
whereby we would rebuild or produce carbonate to the system,
or oxygen. The same force as produced here through
condition, not necessarily of an alarming nature to the
physical body, but the sense of fear in the body, the lack
of proper nutriment to the nervous force, and rebuilding
properties through that of the splenic force, which supplies
that of the rebuilding to the brain itself, through the
reflexes in the nervous system in the body becoming to such
temperament as we have in this physical body, produced more
by the fear of the condition that exists in the system
through the abnormal condition of the body, or through the
mind in matter.
The chilling sensation over the whole system has produced
some of the forces in the blood, or the weakened condition
of the blood. And this chilling sensation has allowed more
of the forces, as we have thrown out by that of the liver
in itself, to drift back into the blood until we have a form
of temperament produced by the condition we have existing
here in the side, the formation into the blood of that of a
malarial or bacterial nature, as we have by microscopic
examination of the blood itself, or by the condition of the
forces as we have here through the microscopic examination.
To remove these conditions from the body as we have here,
now existing in this [
4980], we would first have the body
at an altitude whereby we gain more of a rarefied air,
until we produce a deep breathing to the lungs themselves,
or to the inhalation and exhalation of as much as possible
of the air from the body. You will have to take it by
degrees. You can't go up at first, you see.
We would have to the system, or to the physical body, as
much of a roughness as we could produce; that is, outdoor
life. Live out in the air; keep the body warm by the
application of clothing; rub the body well night and morning
with cold water along the spine; warm baths just before
retiring; sleep warm, but with plenty of air. We take into
the system here those of calcium and iodine, and at intervals
of 48 to 60 hours, 1/60 [grain] of heroin internally. The
diet should be that of courser foods. Not too much of fruit
and vegetable matter, but more of the carbon nature to
produce heat in the body. It would have to be by gradual
course from what we have been using.
But do this and this body will become improved.
