(Q) What would you suggest now, to relieve the conditions
you have described?
(A) This expansion of the lungs that we have in the
treatment before is not good, because it is an irritant of
the whole body, and the digestive organ of the body is not in
a proper condition to assimilate thoroughly, that is why we
have this ejection from the stomach of the medicine that is
taken to rebuild the lungs.
We have the whole body in this, and to reach any trouble in
any part of the system, it is to go through the digestive
organ, or through the blood or nerve force to be taken up,
unless, of course, it is absorbed from the outside. This
is taken in the stomach as it is made from the blood, and
if not assimilated in the stomach, then we have here a
counter-irritant to the blood, and poison, or an irritation
of the whole digestive system from the bowel and stomach;
just as we have here in this oil, if it were assimilated in
the stomach it would be a building property to the body, but
as it is, it is not. You will have to get more life into
the body to retain the life that we have, because it is
just wearing itself out.
We have here, the assimilation of matters in the stomach that
will have to be changed; also in the lung, a filling up of
the cells, which is gradually destroying the cells and the
right part of the lungs, that will have to be checked or
destroyed. We have too, the broken down nervous system, or
the lack of confidence in self, which will have to be
changed, through the nervous system.
Now, for the first, we will have to get the digestive organ
in proper shape to have assimilations from the body; we will
have to change from this we have taken into the stomach, and
take more of a stimulant in the whole body, and not so much
to be digested from the stomach, because it is not doing
anything at all.
To assist the stomach in its digestive functions, we must use
Clary Water, because it is a compound which will increase the
digestive powers, and the appetite. We have in the compound
of Clary Water, a composition of the Armidris [Ambergris?],
Gin, Sugar, and Sage, which will be a toning for the whole
body, and for the digestive organ, then, the stomach will be
able to take into it enough to assist the blood to build up
the body, but it cannot as long as it won't digest anything.
We must have more oxygen, so that the lungs will throw off
the carbon from the body. To get this must have a higher
altitude, but lower temperature; have the altitude but not
the temperature here. We have the lungs filled, but ought to
be colder. We get more oxygen, and more iodide from a colder
atmosphere, as of the mountains.
He should be more out doors, and take more bodily exercise;
have more employment of the mind, to get it off of self,
or to do something that will relax the body, not enough of
course to wear it out, causing congestion, - then the body
will rebuild.
(Q) Now, what place would you suggest, that he might get the
conditions spoken of, the proper temperature and altitude?
(A) Any place that is in a higher altitude, any place in
the mountains. We have places both above and below here, and
have it here if it was higher. What we must have more for
this [
5707], is employment of the mind and body, not enough
to relax the whole body and produce a chill from congestion
afterward, but enough to keep the blood in circulation, but,
we must have assimilations of the stomach before we could do
that either; better not move from where he is. The higher
altitude from the present conditions of the stomach, it would
not be able to retain anything. Get this in good condition
from the use of Clary Water first.
(Q) How should this Clary Water be taken?
(A) It should be taken into the stomach, and taken in
quantities, like we take water, but do not use very much
at the time. Take about three (3) gills at the time, or an
ordinary wine glass, and take it about five, six or eight
times a day, until we stimulate the whole system. From the
Armidris [Ambergris?], we have a new lining; from the Gin, a
stimulation of the blood, and from the sugar and sage, from
the sugar, we have assimilation for both the blood system and
nerve tissue, and from the sage, we have a sedative. When we
get the stomach and the digestive organ in better shape, then
we can hope to have some body, and we need to put the blood
into circulation, to kill the bacteria in the lungs, because,
unless we do, we will not have anything better.
A good electrical treatment, or an osteopathic treatment,
will accelerate the blood, and will reduce this bacteria, and
aid the assimilation, and you will find that this will reduce
this counter-irritant from the blood. It won't hurt to
keep up this stimulant, nor this tonic, for a time, when we
can tell better as to what to do with it, after we get the
assimilation here in the stomach, but that is not bad for
the rest of the body. We have the body living on itself, and
not building any more or carrying on any blood; we have the
muscles, the nerves, the fleshy part of the body, and all
of the bone and tissue of the body becoming dilapidated and
flabby, and of course, when we have that sort of condition,
we have the lungs weaker and weaker, and the tissue is being
torn further in the lungs.
(Q) Suggest what diet he should take?
(A) Whatever he wants, and whenever he wants it. It is
better for the body to eat oftener instead of in large
quantities. He should not eat so much of a starch, but more
of a property that will produce carbon to the body, so that
it will not burn itself out.
