EC: Yes, we have the body, [
5495]. Now, with the physical
forces of the body we find there are rather the conditions to
be warned of. While conditions at present cause distress at
times, the immediate reactions in same are not that as might
be at first indicated in the apparent conditions, and there
be deeper seated conditions to be considered than appear
from the surface. These conditions, as we find, have to do
with disturbances as have been within the system from times
back. While the condition seems aggravating, and has
gradually GROWN, yet the NECESSITY of operation, as
considered, as we find, were other conditions considered, and
the proper conditions taken in hand, would NOT be NECESSARY
for immediate operation. Neither would the condition be
aggravated, if properly cared for, WITHOUT the operation at
present. Rather, the body to be benefited BY not being
operative, will the suggestions as may be given be carried
out in the proper way and manner.
These conditions have to do with specific effects, and the
effect as is created by the disturbance in the nerve system,
in the pelvic organs and in the eliminations of the body.
These, then, be the conditions as we find them with this
body, [
5495] we are speaking of: First:
IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, here we find evidences of the
disturbance produced in the circulation, of the disturbance
in the metabolism of system, and hence that precaution
necessary of NOT operating, would the condition respond
otherwise - and, as we find, would.
IN THE NERVOUS SYSTEMS, do we find the greater distress.
Where there have been adhesions in the system, due to the
tissue that became in the manner scar tissue - the LESIONS
SHOW there. These have most to do, in the nerve system, with
the radial centers from the lower DORSAL and the lower lumbar
and sacral region, and with the improper incentives as are
manifest through the ganglia of the region, the plethora
condition, and the inflammation at times, and the pain has
been the result. These altered, these changed, and proper
drainage set up in system, these may be reduced and the
condition brought to naught; for the response in the
vitality, as we find, will be well.
IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS, and the disturbances as
created through same:
Brain forces are very good. Discernment and the ability to
weigh the various propositions, both mental and physical, are
manifest in THIS body.
In the head, and the conditions in throat - these are, as we
find, reflexes principally from disturbances as are seen in
the lower portion of the body; are NOT causes - that is, the
condition is not the cause but the EFFECT from the
affectation in the lower portion of body, and WITH correction
- though local conditions must be considered - would be
corrected in the general corrections for the disturbances in
system. These are produced, as we see, through the improper
impulses. We find the overflow of nerve energy through the
hypogastric and pneumogastric disturbing digestion, and
forming that of a reflex through the secondary cardiac
forces, as causes too much acidity in stomach, and a
resultant effect of the mucus or the soft tissue in throat
disturbed, in head, in antrum, in all PORTIONS of the system
are of that nature where the system's disturbed circulation
preventing the removal of drosses in the proper manner, or
improper drainage, and the condition resultant from same.
The bronchia and lungs, NOT organically affected - yet there
are times when disturbance in the BRONCHIALS are an effect of
that same cardiac, or secondary cardiac, disturbance.
Digestive system, rather that of nervous digestion - produced
as much by the effects of the system attempting to eliminate,
throwing too much of refuses through alimentary canal,
produce rather the CATARRHAL condition in the duodenum or
lower portion of the stomach proper. This, as seen again,
reflex. NOT a cause, but a result of a disturbance. Hence,
as seen, precautions taken.
Liver and digestive system as related to same - plethora
exists in the spleen. In the liver we find those of the
excretory system are at a high point of activity, while the
SECRETIONS as come for the DIGESTION are low. Hence a
nervous digestion.
The colon and the intestinal system also has its condition,
from inflammation created in the pelvic regions, where the
adhesions and lesions through those portions of the body has
produced pressure and plethora.
In the kidneys we have also the disturbances as would
naturally be from inflammation through that portion, and the
condition as comes from that in the bladder at times are from
those of the SEDIMENTARY conditions as would be found
existent there.
In meeting the conditions, as we would find them for this
body:
First, the body should REST considerable. There should be at
least, in the beginning, the increasing of the eliminations
in the alimentary canal - but of SUCH a nature as will bring
the REST of the system to be able to COORDINATE with same, so
that the respiratory system, lymphatic circulation, the lungs
themselves, the kidneys themselves, COORDINATE WITH the
eliminations of the system in and through the alimentary
region. In doing this, this, we would find we would add
first, as these - as the body rests; those in small doses.
These will be given when the body begins to carry out the
instructions: Podophyllum, Leptandrin, Sanguinaria, Licorice
Compound; also those of Senna and Dover's Powders. These
will be given in various quantities when the conditions are
to be carried out.
We would also, following same, have those corrections made in
the cerebro-spinal system, osteopathically, with the local
treatments as would be necessary in the pelvic regions and
organs; using at the same time that the eliminants through
the alimentary canal are begun, those of the colonic
irrigations, with the application of the sinusoidal rays, as
will come with those applications. Ready for questions.
These we would carry out under the supervision and
suggestions of one in SYMPATHY with that as may be applied
through these sources. Do that. We are through for the
present.

BACKGROUND
3/30/30 Letter: "In accordance with conversation of Sun.
P.M., I am asking you to send me a general health reading. I
should very much like you to tell me how I can best meet the
situation with which I am confronted. If this last question
comes under the head of a different reading, please confine
yourself to the first type - but I myself think that the
mental and physical conditions are very closely connected."
