EC: We have the body here, Mrs. [
5622]. In the physical
forces of the body we find there are many conditions that
DISTURB the body. The causes, however, as we find, have
NOT been reached, as the conditions are of a subtle nature,
and often the effects as are created BY the disturbance
apparently are much worse than the cause. Then, in applying
curative forces, these have only been of a temporary or a
partly aiding to the body.
These, then, be conditions as we find them with this body,
Mrs. [
5622] we are speaking of, present in this room. First:
IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find below normal in these
respects; especially that disturbance in hemoglobin, of the
nature where the coagulations are increased. Those of red
blood cells below normal, of the white at TIMES changeable.
In the effects as this has created, we find with the
nervous forces in body being disturbed, as we shall see, has
impoverished many portions of the body, until there is at
times distraughtness in the extremities and the muscular and
nerve forces of same suffer under this strain. Especially
do we find these conditions when there are sudden changes in
climatic conditions, or atmospheric pressure.
IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, here again we find causes and
considerable disturbance, both in cerebrospinal and
sympathetic system. These are produced more by this disorder
disturbing circulation, and disorders from the character of
ELIMINATIONS as have been necessarily set up in body.
IN THE FUNCTIONINGS OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, in brain forces
very good. In the organs of the sensory system disorders
are results from pressure in the cervicals, produced by the
distortion of circulation, due to the catarrhal condition as
exists in soft tissue, as well as in stomach and intestines.
These conditions being of such nature that the distresses
produced IN the functioning, or the overtaxing through the
functioning organs FROM disorder, brings greater distresses
to the organs so disordered. As is seen in the manner of the
heart's action, as well as of blood supply.
In the activities of the digestive system, this we find often
needs that addition to system to produce proper activity
through digestive system. This from the pressure in the
cerebrospinal, from which most of the functioning DESIRE,
as it may be called, of the intestinal system, receiving
too little of incentive through the bloodstream in their
respective centers. Hence these bring for those disorders
in duodenum, pancreas, spleen, and liver.
In the hepatic circulation, this high acidity at times is
produced from those distraughtnesses as have been created
in the body, as has been given.
In meeting, then, the needs of the conditions - those
pressures as have existed in the lumbar and sacral region
must need its first attention; so that the drainages of a
well organized body may be set up in such a manner as to
keep as near an equilibrium in the cerebrospinal system as
possible.
Well, too, that in meeting the needs, the character of the
poison accumulations from the non-activities as outlined,
should be given due consideration.
In the application of medicinal properties, in the form - as
we would find - in this:
To 4 ounces of distilled water, we would add that of the
Tincture of Stillingia:
Indian Turnip (pulverized, see?).....1/2 dram,
Wild Ginseng.........................1/2 dram,
and dissolve
Balsam of Tolu.........................3 drams, in
Alcohol................................2 ounces,
and add to same.
The dose would be teaspoonful 3 times each day.
In the manipulations, the corrections would be for those
conditions existent in the cervical, the center and upper
dorsal, especially - and the lumbar and sacral regions.
Well, too, that about ONCE each week - until the conditions
are relieved, and the pressure taken away - the eliminations
through alimentary canal be had, see? until these are well
set up.
In the CORRECTIVE measures in the manipulation, be mindful
that the stimuli in cardiac center, the solar plexus center,
SECONDARY cardiac center, are such that the gastric juices of
the stomach themselves do not become over-acid; and well that
those of the alkaline foods be taken, that are also nerve
building, see? Little of the flesh of any, yet those of
the juices may be taken.
Ready for questions.
(Q) The eliminations once a week - is that colonic
irrigation?
(A) Colonic irrigations.
(Q) How much rest - special rest?
(A) Especially during the first week to ten days, to TWO
weeks - while the eliminations through alimentary canal,
especially, are being set up - would be well that the body
REST MOST of the time. Not in bed, to be sure, but not so
much exercise as to bring too much STRAIN on the nervous
system, for without strain the conditions may be aided
without the use of sedatives, but to be overstrained
will make restlessness and insomnia be the outcome of
irritation, see?
(Q) How about flesh? Does the body need to gain weight?
(A) It will gain, when the conditions are so that
assimilations are proper. It will gain to its proper, normal
weight - should gain. This, as we have seen, is that the
EFFECTS - as has been created - are worse than the CAUSES.
Now, if we will get AT the CAUSES, the effects as have been
created will disappear, see?
We are through for the present.
