1. LBC: You have before you Mr. [87], of ... Go over his body carefully, examine him, and tell us what his present condition is, and also what treatment to resort to to relieve it. Tell us all the main points in his case.
2. EC: Yes, we have had him here before. Have some improvements in the system from what we have had before in the body, mainly through those of a more perfect unison of the nerve supplies between that of the cerebrospinal and sympathetic nerve forces; also through that of the ends of those of the blood supplies, or more perfect elimination in the system, especially through that of the eliminating of the ends of used forces, of nerve and blood cells, through that of the liver. A better condition than we have had. Though eliminating through the kidneys, or those nerves and ganglia where we have had inflammation through the pelvis and lumbars, is not so much improved as the upper conditions, here.
3. From the condition we had, we find through those, in the same action we have through the spleenic, force or its action on to the system or to the body here, an attribute condition or a hardened condition here in the spleen, in the ends - a condition in the forces there through its action on to the system, or to the nerve supply which is its action through the system, to those of the brain, or its action to the force, or supplying of the matter to that of the rebuilding of the brain cells proper, in its nerve force here, through the solar plexus ganglia here, on the system, where we have had the same through its branches or ends, through the cerebrospinal and sympathetics here in the lumbars, producing a condition - an overtaxed condition - as we find along the spine by the pressure from external regions here.
4. We have not so much heaviness to the body; we have not so much of the nausea, to the stomach itself, at the time of taking food into it. We have a better elimination; a better digestion than we have had before in the system.
5. (Q) What is this condition of improvement from?
87-2 Page 2
(A) A stimulation to the nerve force at the solar plexus.
6. (Q) What about the lesions? (A) Lesions here, you see, at the second lumbar, produced from action upon the condition existing in the system. Now, here is a man, Mr. [87]. We have in the system organs whereby we have elimination of used forces in the system, or through that of the kidneys, as one of the eliminating of the system. In its eliminating of this refuse matter, same as we have through that of the respiratory system, or through the air, or through the ends where the blood exposed the air into the lungs, most of the dross of the system, eliminated through these, is through the kidneys. The over-taxed condition of the system, leaving these conditions here along those of the liver, to the opposite pole, those of the kidney, or eliminating these forces through that of the urine, and that is passed from the system, producing then a condition of stimulating forces until we harden the forces or nerves, or blood forces and muscular force, which work in action or unison along the system. As these are carried in the system, we stimulate these; we produce these lesions. Eliminating of the forces from the body is being carried out from these forces in the system, as into the kidney, producing then the force, or the last status whereby we remove the condition from the system. We had a long time producing this condition; takes a long time to remove it. From the fact that we have the condition existing through the physical, mental and nervous force, or abnormal self in the body; lost confidence - a condition in themselves of impressions carried through those of the action of the forces to the brain, through that of the organ of the spleenic force in the body. The condition of the sub-conscious self gaining control of the dependence he puts in himself, has the same action or state over the body as suggestion to a mind. He is not demented. But the action of nerve force is two-fold, through the action and reaction of the forces that remove.
7. (Q) How is this lesion in the cervical region? (A) No lesion in the cervical. We have a tautness of muscular force here at times. A condition in the system at times. No lesion formed.
8. (Q) Was there a bony lesion there at the time you saw him before? (A) A floating lesion here. See here the condition - at the 2nd and 3rd cervical here, from the action we have through those of the forces governing the blood supply to these, and the muscular force, through that of the plexus, -
87-2 Page 3
the cardiac plexus - in its forces, or governing these here, supplying to the blood force of the head - muscular and nerve force, here has produced then a lesion there. It has been reduced. That is a condition from what we have. That is, we have a betterment of this body, from the 9th dorsal to the top of his head. We have not so much improvement of the system from there to the lower end of the spine. Now, we have a relaxing of the muscular forces, as we have had in the system by the manipulation. That is, of the hands, and electrical forces applied to nerves, or nerve force along on these. Apply the forces to a nerve that we receive through impressions, or as we have electrical force in the system. As these forces are applied along the spine, we come in connection with these through these ends which we have out of branches into the system, whereby we remove these, by relaxation of the muscular force, until the blood is allowed to carry these, or eliminate from the system, through the proper channels.
9. (Q) What treatment would you suggest in the future for this man, and how shall it be carried on? At what anatomical spots? (A) Remove this condition we have in the lumbars - through the manipulation of the muscular force of the body, from the limbs, here, up; from a condition of relaxing of the muscular force of the spine from the 9th dorsal to those of the sacrum by the stimulation of the nerve force there through that of electrical force applied along the spine - or the same condition we have had existing into the system. We want more force applied to those of the lumbars, and a relaxation of the whole system through that of manipulation or through those of a force of low applied electrical force.
10. (Q) How should the electricity be applied? (A) Through that of a low state.
11. (Q) Would you give him any internal medicine? (A) Plenty of water.
12. (Q) Do you find any trouble with this man's liver? Look him over carefully and see if you find any trouble with that. (A) Have had indigestion here, and through the forces we have had through the lobes of the liver - the smaller lobes themselves - extended or dilated, or choking up of the ends. Not using up the forces. The liver is the excreting and secreting organ - both in its properties - in the system. It is the largest organ we have in the system, solely in itself. We have more force can be applied to it; more conditions producing an abnormal condition; any condition in the system producing that of inflammation or lesion, and
87-2 Page 4
will have trouble with the liver, in some form or state, through the circulation or force supplied into the force. We have the condition of the liver at present; keep it like it is and the body will get better.
13. (Q) Do you find any trouble with the lungs? Any organic trouble in the cells of the lungs? (A) No.
14. (Q) This man, by manipulation, deep, on the right side of the cervical region, experiences a cold sensation in the calf of his legs. How can you account for that? What is the nerve relation? (A) We have the cerebrospinal nerve in the center, from the brain to the 2nd lumbar, with its branch ends through the pelvis, and we have the sympathetic nerve system down on the side of the spine. We have muscular force applied along the spine, from the base of the brain to each cervical, each vertebra along the body. As we apply the force along the forces here, to the one where we have a lesion formed in the body, as we have here in the lumbar - the applied forces on nerves, we produce by it the same muscular forces, and same or lax condition. Applied forces to one part of the system, produce a sympathetical through other parts of the system, - opposite condition here. We have the branch ends of the cerebrospinal nervous system, come in conjunction, or interlatteral with those of the sympathetic nerve force, especially through the lumbars and extremities of the system. We have not had unison between the cerebrospinal and sympathetic nerve forces, else we would never had the lack of the condition of dependence in self. The existing condition in the system, produces a lax condition through the extremities of the body - or by force, pressure, of material force applied to a material body.
15. (Q) What causes this general weakness and losing confidence in himself at times? He thinks his heart is going to stop and he is going to lose his breath. (A) He has not any confidence in himself.
16. (Q) Is this organic or mental? (A) Mental. We have the mental man, the physical man and the sub-conscious man. We have them inhabited of the physical body that we have here now of [87], of ... Street, Paducah. He has lost confidence in himself. We have a weakened condition through that of supplying force of the blood supply to the body, or that of the physical man. We have lost confidence through that of the mental self or to the supplying forces applying or supplying to those records to the brain or the mental body, through action of the spleenic force in the system. We have lost to the physical
87-2 Page 5
self, lack of muscular force through the same condition in the system, hence we have conditions existing in the body, which becomes almost of a character, and suggestion to the man caused the condition he has in his body. We suggest it to this man that he has a trouble with any organ of the system, and we will have that condition at times, in the system. We lose control of self, through the physical force, or the mentality of the body, or the subconscious self of the body, keeping the man in the condition he is in or through suggestive power in the body.
17. (Q) Tell us about this lesion in the lumbar region. Is it a bony lesion or is it a muscular lesion? (A) Muscular Lesion.
18. (Q) How about his heart? Any organic trouble? (A) No. We have a condition existing in the heart through the same conditions we have applied in the system, through that of suggestion to the physical man. We have forces, or action to the nerve supplies of the body which govern along to the cardiac plexus, which is governed to here, and we have force applied to the solar plexus, which is governed to the digestive organ, or the beginning of the digestion of the body, and those from the celiac plexus or lumbar regions, and in the pelvis, and of those branches. We have the condition existing in different organs of the body at times - a condition of organic trouble, but no organic troubles within the condition of the organs themselves. .
