EC: Yes, we have the body here, [
5613], present in this
room. Now, we find there are conditions in the physical that
cause disturbance as to prevent a normal physical reaction in
the body, and prevent the better mental manifestations of the
body as a whole. These, as we find, are of rather the
specific nature - while they have been BUILDED in the system,
the effects as presented at this time, while bettered from
others, still cause distress and dis-ease, more than disease
in the body. They have to do with the gastric forces and
activities in the digestive system.
These, then, are conditions as we find them with this body,
[
5613] we are speaking of, present in this room:
IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY we find rather that of a character of
anemia, as it may be termed; an unbalancing of the white and
red blood supply of the system. While the condition has not
reached such a stage as to become acute, still there are
those conditions as prevent the proper coordination in the
system, and at times the vitality is so used up as to cause
an inertia, or an incapacity for the proper functioning of
eliminations, producing weariness to the body, to the mind,
to the whole general system, so that a nerve collapse comes
from the inertia or from the incapacity of that assimilated
to produce the proper plasms in the system for full
recuperation to meet the physical activities of the body.
The condition produced in the blood supply, the greater
disorder - or the seat of same, as we find - is in the liver,
and in the activities of same as regards the digested or
digestive forces of the body.
IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, here we find that centers along the
cerebro-spinal system have become incapacitated, by lack of
nourishment from the general system, as well as an UNDOING by
the character of the plasm in system; for there is the lack
of that vitamin known now as "C" in the body, to produce
STAMINA and VITALITY in the nerve centers and plexus. Hence
we have a depleted nerve supply, and FROM same an
INCOORDINATION in the functioning of the ORGANS of the body
as related to the replenishing or RESUSCITATING forces of the
system; not WHOLLY, or else we would have a complete
collapse, or the poisons of the system - through LACK of
eliminations - would become so accentuated as to produce
either inertia in mental faculties, incapacity in muscular
forces, inactivity through the SENSORY forces for their
responses - ALL of these conditions are in PART indicated,
but the DETERMINATION, as it were, or that vital force as is
thrown out in the system reaches a state of collapse to where
the body - with rest - RESUSCITATES more in the system and
the toxic forces are gradually thrown out. This CANNOT be
kept UP, but CORRECTIONS may be made.
IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, brain forces, as
we see, respond under MOST of normal action as to reflex, but
these - as we find - also show the effect of the STRAIN as
has been put upon the physical and the activity of forces as
related to the CENTRAL nerve system; as is indicated by the
conditions as times as exist in eyes, in hearing, in taste,
in speech, in the senses of responsiveness in feelings.
In throat, bronchi, larynx - these show the effects of an
unbalanced lymph circulation, which is - as is seen - the
beginning of blood supplying, or of using UP of blood plasm
before same is assimilated properly for system.
Lungs are very good; not organically disturbed, but
sympathetically.
Heart's action shows abnormality under stress; nominally, or
normally, very good.
Digestive system - a seat, or a condition of specific cause,
indicated in the cardiac end, as well as the manner in which
the body becomes so over acid as to produce an acidity in the
system; forming gas in the duodenum, as well as throughout
the system from toxic forces produced by inactivity of the
liver, spleen, and hepatic circulation. This, as we find,
shows the effect, then, rather than a CAUSE - though OFTEN
CALLED the cause of the conditions.
The liver and its operation, both as to excretory and
secretive forces: In its excretory functioning, THIS lobe is
near normal. In the SECRETIVE functioning, BELOW normal - as
is indicated by the character of forces as assimilate with
the pancrean forces of the system, and the stress as is put
on the kidneys themselves in their functioning.
The hepatic circulation - or that of the liver and kidneys -
which functions or circulates twice before functioning
through the whole system - shows as of a cold or slow
circulation. Hence a tendency of gas in the duodenum and in
the intestines, producing a soreness and a prolapsus nature
in the transverse and descending colon.
In the digestive organs themselves - a lack of lactics
created in body, or even from the salivary glands to the
pancrean glands - the glands through the adrenal and the
forces as create for the digestive forces in proteins in
system are lax or slack in THEIR functioning, PRODUCED most
by the lack of that VITAL force in functioning known as
vitamin "C", as is created in those glands in digestion as
make for chyle forces in that ready to be assimilated into
the system itself.
In those effects, then - these make for that distress in the
functioning of locomotories of the body, in the bladder, and
of the kidneys themselves proper; for over acid makes for
either too much or to little quantity of water carried from
system through these channels.
In meeting the needs of same in the present, we will find
that there should be those vibrations set up sufficiently in
a force that has an antipathy for the functioning of the
glands (for the liver becomes a gland itself in the body),
through those vibratory forces as may be set up by the use of
castor oil packs over the liver itself; by the adding to the
body those forces that are in sympathy WITH the gastric
juices of the body - such as would be found in an alternation
of Milk of Bismuth and Milk of Magnesia; with a cleansing of
the colon proper with the colonic irrigations, using after
same those antiseptics for the replenishing and building up
of the walls of the intestinal tract or colon itself.
Through this method we will aid materially in bringing the
proper equilibrium, the proper elasticity, to all the forces
of the body.
Be mindful, to be sure, that the diets - and the activities
physically and mentally - are not such as to strain or
overtax the body; and keep the body - physically, mentally -
CLEAN, in that those of pure water give life, vital forces,
both internally and externally.
The packs - we would take at least once each week.
The colonics we would take each week, until three have been
taken - and then not oftener than once each month.
Those forces in intestinal system as taken, that are in
sympathy - or that work with the gastric forces (Milk of
Bismuth and Milk of Magnesia), should be at least alternated
every other day; one day these may be taken twice each day,
for each - then alter to the other, see? Two teaspoonsful
should be a dose.
In the matter of diet - those vitamins as will be found most
necessary will be in the SKINS of potatoes (not the pulp),
the rye bread (always toasted), milk, yolk of eggs, rice
(especially brown rice, rather than the white or clarified),
not too much sugars, very little of meats - but plenty -
PLENTY - of water! Ready for questions.
(Q) Would violet ray or vibrator be beneficial?
(A) Would be beneficial, but would NOT be as beneficial as
would the applications GIVEN - both as to external and
internal - if the activities of the body are to be kept in
any way near NORMALCY. The violet ray may be beneficial, but
is too superficial in its activity. Were those vibrations of
the reverse coil, or those in the sinusoidal, added to the
liver vibrations - or attached in the 4th and 5th dorsal, and
in the 4th lumbar plexus - these would be beneficial, but
would be rather SEVERE unless the body rested most of the
time the treatments were given! These as we have given may
be used and the body keep up its nominal or normal
activities!
(Q) What is the cause of the lack of sexual desire?
(A) This produced by the lack of the stamina in the
functioning glands of the system, or - as that in vitamin C
and vitamin G are very close akin - these produce a lack of
stamina in system. The adding of the properties as we have
outlined will enable the body to function the nearer normal.
DO that. We are through for the present.
