IN NERVE SYSTEM we find some causes, some effects. In
those centers there are indications of pressures produced
by lesions of DIFFERENT natures; in the lumbar of a lateral,
while in the upper dorsal and lower cervicals we find those
more or less of a circular nature. This prevents that
proper impulse to the secondary cardiac forces as relate to
digestion in the cardiac portion of stomach proper, as does
that to the blood supply or circulation through the upper
PORTION of body - from the cervical and upper dorsal - to
the face. Hence those indications of disturbance both to the
circulation and to the lymph supply make for that RESULTANT
condition through the character of infectious forces as -
from not a properly supplied tissue in nose, throat - show
for a form of catarrhal forces; these affecting directly
that as is seen from the digestive forces, and with improper
activity in the gastric forces make for that depletion in
blood, as well as an effect of intestinal disturbance as
comes from super-acidity, and as comes from those forms of
disorder through catarrhal effects in the digestive organ
itself. These, as seen, are both functional in their order,
but their source of activity coming from conditions existent
in the cerebrospinal nervous system - as in 2nd lumbar,
lateral - in 5th and 6th dorsal, more or less of a circular
nature; the 3rd and 4th cervical the same characterization,
though more decided in its position, and tenseness -
especially at times when, with an overtaxed condition
mentally, the resultant conditions of direct causes to head,
the cervical forces producing that in the sensory organism as
to make for some irritation for eyes, for ears, for throat,
for the conditions as come from sympathetic reflexes there.
IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES:
Brain forces are good; discernments and activities, impulses
and reflexes, nominal in their reactions in body.
As indicated, organs of the sympathetic system show rather
that of sympathetic reflexes, while as of those in nasal -
head or throat at times show direct conditions as result from
improper pressure and from those conditions resultant from
a catarrhal effect; drying at times, at others effluvia more
active.
Bronchi and lungs, these - naturally, from a depressed blood
supply and tendency of the increase in number of white and
low in red blood - make for not a disorder as of an organic
nature, unless infection appears, but not a full, deep breath
may be taken, save at times when the body is in a condition
or position where more oxygen is capable of being taken than
nominally.
Digestive system shows the effect of the disorders in those
of the dorsal, and of a reaction from gastric forces which
produce the disorder through assimilations. This becoming,
then, rather that of a circular or collaborative force -
effects and causes so combined that often effects may be
treated without regard to cause, or causes may be producing
an effect as would be in opposition to the real condition of
body.
Liver, spleen, pancreas - these at TIMES show a near
normalcy, considering conditions; not normalcy from the
standpoint of a normal body. In these INDIVIDUAL forces,
these are subject to the acidity - as is seen in those
especially of the duodenum and the gall bladder's effect
upon the system proper.
These, then, are conditions to be met.
In the active forces in hepatic circulation, as related
to liver and kidneys - the acidity calls for the warnings
as against conditions being disturbing in nature, through
especially the lower hepatics - or to PREVENT, most of all,
those toxic forces as would be effective to the kidneys in
their functioning.
Not that all these disorders are as of acute, but these are
tendencies and conditions to be met.
In meeting, then, the needs of the conditions as we would
find them for the body [
5503] we are speaking of, taking
into consideration those conditions existent, the effects
as produced, and the causes:
The relief of the pressures in the cerebro-spinal system,
without the proper consideration of the digestive forces
of the body and effects as would be created by the release
of same, would not tend to bring PERMANENT conditions for
relief; but taken in collaboration one with another in the
corrections will bring a NORMALCY as would make for bettered
conditions THROUGHOUT the body.
Then, we would create for the system that of more of an
alkalin reaction in digestive forces. At the same period
we would correct those conditions in the lumbar, dorsal
and cervical region, so that their impulse through the
nerve forces of the body carry the NORMAL flow; and the
eliminations increased in the alimentary canal, through the
addition of the alkalins for the system - as in diet, as
well as in those of alkalin reactions; and STIMULATE the
STRUCTURAL portions so that the assimilations will create
more of the red blood supply. This we would find through
the adding of those forces as will be found in the Infra
Red light on bone portions themselves, especially clarifying
through lung area - for the ribs - clarifying the clavicle
area, for those of the lumbar regions, as well as through
that of the sternum proper, or in the breast, for the
addition to the heart's action and the cardiac reflexes.
These, we would find, should be taken not oftener than twice
each week. These should be taken for at least twenty to
thirty minutes at each treatment.
The manipulations and adjustments we would make for at least
three times each week.
In the alkalin reactions we would take, as for these
conditions, an alternated or a changed reaction - which will
be found to be most effective: Those first we would take -
Milk of Magnesia, a tablespoonful at a dose, one day. In the
next we would take the Milk of Bismuth. In the next we would
have those of small quantities of such an antiseptic as is of
an alkalin reaction, taken internally, as of Glyco-Thymoline,
Lavoris, or such natures. These, adding to the pepsin
content of the gastric forces, will tend to make for a
clarification, with the addition of the other properties.
In the activity of food forces, we would have as this:
In the mornings, those of either the whole or portion of
the grain, or the juices of the fruits - as orange, lemons,
grapefruit, or such - or the citrus fruits, with little of
those of the cereals.
In the noon we would have those principally of the green
vegetables that are alkalin reacting.
In the evening, those of the juices of meats, wild game,
little of the shell fish - but as much carrying the iodine
content as may be assimilated by system.
KEEP the COLON cleansed. This may be found necessary, with
the addition of those properties given, to be irrigated.
This should be kept cleansed to prevent any form of
prolapsus in same.
Ready for questions.
(Q) What is the cause of the sleeplessness to which I have
been subject since early adolescence, and how can it be
overcome?
(A) By the correction of those conditions that have tended
to make for the irritation, as bring about those influences
in system as has been outlined. These make for an irritation
that makes the imaginative forces or sympathetic nerve system
active, when there should be the resting of same, through
the pressures existent in the 6th and 5th dorsal area, and in
the 3rd, 4th and 5th cervical area - to say nothing of those
pressures in the lumbar. These in the upper bring that
disturbance.
(Q) What causes a dull pain in the back of my neck, at the
base of the brain, which has troubled me occasionally for
several years? What will remove it?
(A) Remove that pressure existent there! 3rd and 4th
cervical!
(Q) What can be done to overcome a dropped stomach condition
to which I am subject?
(A) This has been given, as respecting where those lesions
have prevented the activity of the system in its proper
order. These will be those treatments as has been outlined
in the correction of the conditions, because there will be
much doubling up of the body - for these must be LOOSENED, as
it were - then held in place as the activity commences, and
so that there is the proper action of the gastric forces
throughout the intestinal system.
(Q) What is the cause of the nerve strain and irritation
that I have experienced during the last month?
(A) These have been described, in as to the irritation,
especially as has affected those of the lymph, causing a
form of catarrhal effect - which becomes acute at times, with
irritation - especially of any nature when there is any sign
of dust or effluvia from any condition as would be about,
irritating the whole nervous system, creating more and more
a discord between the sympathetic and cerebrospinal system.
(Q) Is this due to too much iodine in the air, vegetation
and water?
(A) No. There's more iodine NEEDED - but with the
CORRECTION of the system, so that ASSIMILATION takes
place more properly, this will be most beneficial. It's
like adding healing properties to sores without first
cleansing same. See?
Do as we have given, and we will bring the near normal
conditions for this body. Be persistent, but be CONSISTENT
with the applications - also, don't expect the results in one
treatment! for it's been many seasons coming on!
We are through for the present.
