TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [5555]. Now, we find there are disturbing conditions with the physical forces of this body. These conditions, we find, may be aided to where there will be a better and an easier reaction to the physical conditions. These are rather, then, a complication of conditions, and have their effect in various portions of the system. Some we find organically inclined, others functioning - and these combined produce the distresses as are seen.
2. These, then, are conditions as we find them with this body, [5555] we are speaking of, present in this room.
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, the conditions as are existent here are rather an effect than a cause, as IS the effect as is produced on the organs so affected, or so affecting the blood supply. Hence we find the liver, kidneys and heart involved in the condition. The condition as is seen, in that there is so little of a capillary circulation as compared to that of the deeper, or the venous circulation and deeper arterial. These are conditions produced by the relaxing of the nerve systems, that control the functioning of the blood through same to the extent that plethora exists throughout these forces or portions so carrying the blood supply. Hence the variations as occur in the heart's action, as also in the various functionings in the liver and kidneys as they pass through same.
4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, OR SYSTEMS, here we find much of the disturbances. These are evidenced by the condition as has been described regarding the functioning and the organic conditions existent with the organs as referred to. These have been produced from VARIOUS reasons. Had the condition been taken in hand and the centers from which the radial conditions are affected, some years ago, much change might have been effected before this. In the effects as are produced - that tendency of non-COORDINATING between sympathetic and cerebro-spinal or so as to form, as it were, two separate functionings, rather than a coordinated functioning. This we find evidenced by the condition as has been described, as related to the blood stream in its activity, as well as the tiredness in the system, the tendency toward the headaches or depressions as come from those of the central nerve system to the extremities, the tendency of the system to so absorb all that it produces pressure in the system. These are the non-coordinating effects produced by the condition existent in the nerve systems. In the activities of same, these we find in the cerebro-spinal radiate particularly from that pressure as has long been produced in the lumbar and sacral. This, then, rather the history than at the present, though these are the conditions felt from same at present. Heaviness across the hips, the veins and the knees at times in the extremities causing distress, in throbbing, burning sensation. In times back the pressure caused in that portion of the system about the kidneys, and the lower portion of the abdomen. The activity as was brought about to correct this condition only transferred the condition to the relaxing of the body to the extent that other portions of the system assumed the responsibility, as it were. Hence there were the periods of indigestion, of the burning sensation in the stomach, of the tendency of heaviness through the colon, and the pains in first right side then in the left. These have not reached the state where they form other than impediments in nerve energy, and necessarily the RESULTANT effect in the blood supply to that portion of the system. Hence we find at times a bitterness to the taste, of WHATEVER would be eaten. Again we find purpleness in portions of the flesh, where circulation hindered by improper impulses. We have spots occurring at times over various portions of the system In the effect produced in the upper DORSAL, this we find most from the 6th and 5th centers. This radiating to a portion of the stomach proper (the cardiac), the reflex from the disturbance as is caused in the arterial and venous circulation is to overflow the liver at times. Hence we have the non-activity of the same as respecting the proper eliminations of poisons. This the portion to be warned against, particularly of too much serums forming in the system. With the lymphatic circulation taking up, and not acting properly, we find those activities of the emunctories internally form fluid sacs, and the tendency is to that characteristic of conditions as would exist from same. These fluids becoming poisonous would be detrimental to the system. Hence eliminations must be looked after carefully. The reaction to the nerve system, in the cervical, from the incoordinating in cerebro-spinal and sympathetic, is to cause the fullness as occurs in throat, aching at times, as it were, in the roof of the mouth, the filling up, as of pain coming from some unknown source, or producing a pressure there. This from that relaxed condition, that also - the circulation to the head, to the nerves of same, as too much pressure on the hypogastrics - and these cause this distress.
5. The organs in their functioning are disturbed, as is seen - as is also those of the ORGANIC disturbances from kidneys and liver, from a too high hepatic circulation.
6. Now, to meet the needs, or to aid in giving ease to the body - the body should first - of diets - have at least for five to six days, PRINCIPALLY that of a citrous fruit diet - principally lemons, and a few oranges occasionally - occasionally a grapefruit, but little else. Not much sugar used with these, and not too much salt - but quantity of the juices should be taken - even were a dozen a day consumed, not too much.
7. In the applications for the treatments, would be those manipulations as will tend to tautness - rather than relaxing, yet the frontal portions of the body - as from the dorsal plexus and about the diaphragm - should be relaxed, as should be the sacral and the lumbar regions - using the limbs there as the levers for the adjustments, and manipulations made through the lumbar and sacral region.
8. Well were those vibrations given as come from the radio, or Radium (preferably, first) Active-Appliance. This applied across the solar plexus in the day. In the evening, across the diaphragm, for at least an hour. The Double X would be sufficient for at least the first thirty days. Do that. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) What causes pain in right side from head to toes - what remedy?
   (A) In the activity of the blood stream, this - in its slowing up - causes this flow to produce rather this TINGLING sensation, which only becomes acute when nerve reaction is attempting to adjust same. Hence that of the relaxing in lumbar and sacral, and tautness created in the centers about the brachial reaction center.
10. (Q) What causes sharp pain in cheek bones and eye?
    (A) As has been given, the serums or the fluids as gather from too high an internal lymphatic FILLS those soft tissue in portions of system, and produce acute pains at times. Hence the eliminations, as is to be stimulated.
11. (Q) What causes black spots before eyes?
    (A) Just the same reaction as comes from the condition in liver - acting through hypogastric and pneumogastric centers, work directly with the sympathetic and sensory reactions of the body - occurring in such conditions.
12. (Q) What causes twitching of right side of face towards left side?
    (A) That as has been given as directing the nerve supply or pressure in same, through its laxness in the brachial or upper dorsal centers. This causes the nerves to react in the form of a mild characteristic in tic.
13. (Q) Is it advisable for patient to be treated at home?
    (A) Advisable for patient to be treated at home.
14. That is all the questions.
15. We would follow these for the period as has been given, to make the basis for the relieving of the conditions in this system. Then we would change for that as would be necessary to, in a mild activity, stimulate the capillary circulation and reduce the lymphatic. These we would find by the necessary changes as become concurrent with the changes effected in the system, and we would give those - then - at the end of six to eight days. We are through for the present.
