TEXT

  1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [5417]. Now, we find the body physical is very good in many respects. There are rather those conditions of which the body should be mindful and take measures for the proper consideration of the strength and the vitality, that these weaknesses as are beginning to appear do not become accentuated to such an extent as to prove more detrimental to the welfare of the physical or material being.
  2. These, then, are conditions as we find them with this body, [5417] we are speaking of, present in this room.
  3. THE BLOOD SUPPLY, shows the strain, rather, under which it labors at times, as is indicated in both the nerve system and blood supply, for the dizziness as occurs at times, the fullness and the equilibrium not just as the body would have same. Also in the general physical conditions, where the body is kept under such strains, as is seen when the body MOVES about, the tendency as has occurred for the tissue, the body in its CASEMENT to give, as is seen in the manner where the folds in tissue are such that the tendency towards hernia, or towards rupture, produces a pressure that becomes pain to the body.
  4. Now, these are rather the running too much at full steam ahead, rather than fault of the body giving away in organic or even functional troubles.
  5. Then, THAT is the condition of which the body should be warned.
  6. Now, TENDENCIES as are seen in the lower part of hepatic circulation, the stress on kidneys, show the effect as is produced in system. Thus the system, in attempting to adjust itself to the equilibrium necessary, will tend to throw such poisons in the system as to continually weaken the vitality of the body, UNLESS a halt is called in the USING UP of the ENERGIES of the system.
  7. Now, to operate for condition as exists would be very good, for that would be ONE way to make or cause the body to REST; but would the body REST sufficient to REGAIN its vitality, how much BETTER this would be than to etherize even that energy, that vitality, as has driven the body to overtax itself.
  8. Then, to meet the needs of the conditions for this body, WE would rather give that at least for three to four weeks, as near as is possible, REST. During that period we would have the thorough massage as would be in the Swedish massage, or in the neuropathic massage, and take the low form of electrical vibration, either from those of the sinusoidal or from the ultra violet, or some of both - rather these far apart; but REST - that most needed. Ready for questions.
  9. (Q) If he would operate, would you advise that immediately?
    (A) Would the body, as has been given, REST - how much BETTER would be for NATURE to care for these conditions, with the proper care of the tissue about this rupture - but would the body not care for the rest, then FORCE REST by the operation! but WE would not give operation until at least nature is given a chance to adjust itself and to bring about the near NORMAL forces for this body, for the strength and vitality are just being SAPPED, and the physical body fades, or fails to keep the tension at such a rate.
  10. (Q) How is the blood condition?
    (A) Blood condition, as is given, very good, except under this STRAIN under which the body has driven, and does drive itself. With the equalization of the system as a whole, we will find all of these tensions WILL come to a near NORMAL response and a normal reaction.
  11. (Q) Should he wear a truss or not?
    (A) Dependent upon the action the body is to take. Would the body rest, only bandage would be necessary. Would the body NOT rest, truss would be better, or operation - as has been given. That is to be chosen by the body. We have given the conditions. Meet these or take the consequences, as has been given.
  12. (Q) Any further advice for this body at this time?
    (A) As we have seen, and as we have given, these are conditions where a body may - through that of the EASIER manner - control conditions by letting NATURE take care, rather than DRIVING the vital forces to the breaking point. We are through for the present.
