1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [130]. Now, we find there are abnormal conditions as may be corrected in the physical forces and functionings of this body. These conditions, as we find, are as of a complication of disorders or distresses as have been produced by VARYING causes in the physical functioning, and some are the result of applications as have been made for distresses, others the result of the COMBINATION; yet the vitality in the forces of the body may be so accentuated, so brought to coordinating vibratory forces, as to give many, many days of a nearer normalcy, as we find.
2. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [130] we are speaking of, present in this room:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY - This shows an unusual tendency toward normalcy, considering the variation of disorders. While there is too much acidity, and a lack in the red blood count, these may be increased or diminished as is necessary, with the proper vibratory forces being set up in the nerve IMPULSES in system, so that the assimilations - that make for plasm IN the blood supply - may be of a nearer normal reactory force.
4. IN THE NERVE FORCES OF THE BODY, in these, MANY of the disorders have had, and do have, their causes both by shocks to the system - as in times past, as have affected the plasm of energy in the nerve forces themselves - as WELL as later in pressures created by deficiency in an excretion from varied portions of the body, as indicated in the active forces of SOME of the glands, as we shall see. A deficiency in a gland functioning hinders the proper reaction, ESPECIALLY through the SYMPATHETIC system, and makes for that in a physical reaction of an expectancy that rarely fails to materialize, with a body under a high nervous tension from disorders, whether of a functional or an organic. This may be studied from that of a psychopathic condition existent in a physical body.

5. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, brain forces are good, as are the impulses from the sensory system.
6. In the throat, bronchi, and lungs, we find the effect of disorders as have affected the circulatory forces in the system, and while the lungs in their whole activity signify the distresses, the CLARIFICATION of the blood supply is carried on above a normal reactory force of conditions. This produced by the reaction in the nerves of the cerebrospinal system being in near a normal reactory force, so that the body - while it may collapse easily at times, from depression or shortness of breath, fast palpitation or activity of the circulation - it will as easily recover from same, when sufficient OXYGEN is supplied to build for those of carbonization in the system.
7. Also in the thyroids we find the lack of sufficient of those secretions to meet an even balance with potashes in the system, so that the digestive system in same is easily upset, as is the heart's action - especially through the carotid artery. These are not as of hardening of arterial circulation, nor of an organic heart disorder; a functional, produced by those depressions, or in the amount of lung AREA proper, as is in the clarification activity of the blood supply; so that, with undue pressure, either from overactivity - by the sudden pressure of gastric juices, or gas in the stomach - these will produce that shortness, that causes a filling or engorging of the heart's activity.
8. In the digestive system proper, we find here another BASIC force FROM which the disorders HAVE existed; that is, in those of excitement to the sympathetic nerve system - by outside influences, in expectancy of distresses as have come to the system - these have caused the contraction of the muscular forces of the stomach proper, until it is SMALL in its size and in the proportionate position offers an easy matter for easy fermentation of those properties that are not EVENLY balanced in their content as of digestibility for the conditions in system. These make for those pressures as occur there, as also the area through the duodenum - over which the juices and the forces from spleen, pancreas and liver, act in their manner of producing assimilations in the system. These, when their content becomes unbalanced, or an excess of the potashes or that of a hydrochloric rather than a lacteal - these bring those conditions as of gas first, pressure on liver, the hepatic circulation unbalanced, and then the pressure in throat, heart, lungs, and the loss of control of consciousness - for the seat of CONSCIOUSNESS is as of that SOLAR PLEXUS center to the brain of the body within itself.
130-1 Page 3
9. In the liver, spleen and pancreas - these are very good in THEIR activity. In the hepatic circulation MOST of the time is seen to be of the slow or cold nature. Hence the variation as may be seen in the pressure of the blood supply.
10. In the lower digestive system, these we find show the effect of pressure as exists from conditions in the sacral and lumbar region. These cause that tendency of the inactivity, PROPERLY directed, of kidneys, bladder, and the eliminations through the lower portion of system; hindering the circulation, as is indicated there by the swelling as occurs at times in limbs and ankles, and feet. This is the lack of LYMPH circulation, or may be termed oppositely, in that the LYMPH is FULL without the PROPER amount of pressure IN the lower extremities to carry circulation BACK properly. Hence the variation in these conditions.
11. Rest at any period soon builds again for the body. Changes in the diet and the surroundings alter conditions almost immediately for the body. Susceptible, then, in those very conditions as BRING distresses - for the veil between good and evil is easily pierced, as from health or illness.
12. In meeting, then, the needs of the conditions as we would find for this body, there should be first considered that condition in the respiratory system, to use ALL as is available in the RESPIRATORY system, especially of the pulmonaries, to increase the characterization of an EVEN circulation of the hepatics, the heart, the lungs. These are the first to consider, so that these PRESSURES may be relieved, adding in the vibration TO the body such as will carry WITH the vibrations more of the iodines for the body, as to aid more in those of the thyroid activity, with also the thyroid taken INTERNALLY in small QUANTITIES, will be helpful in creating PROPER balance in digestive forces. These would be taken in the low form of wet BATTERY vibrations - that is, those of the iodine - charged IN same; these being added only a few minutes in the beginning - twenty to thirty minutes, then increased as the abilities of the body to retain same without producing a pressure in the hypogastric or the cardiac and hypogastric plexus; attaching same first to the ankle and to the other ankle, and the opposite pole or the negative CARRYING the iodine to the solar plexus center. This, we will find, will aid materially; the RESPIRATORY system may be used through the respirator, or through the manipulative forces - EASILY begun - that use the lungs AS the pumps to CLARIFY the whole of the blood supply in its activity, RELEASING those
130-1 Page 4
pressures as exist in the lumbar and sacral region. This we would do osteopathically, rather than through the osteopathic adjustments, for these do not NEED the ADJUSTMENT so much IN the beginning. To be sure, we should equalize same throughout the cerebrospinal centers.
13. In the matter of diet, not too MUCH iodine foods - but those that carry plenty of iron, calcium, silicon, and ESPECIALLY those that carry the phosphorus - for these will aid in the bringing about of an equilibrium, WITH the vibrations set up in the system.
14. Plenty of rest, and a moderate amount of exercise - this measured first, in the beginning - and we will find that in three to five weeks there will be a sudden and a certain change in the physical abilities and forces of body. Ready for questions.
15. (Q) A mad cat bit the left ankle about four years ago. Treatment was given to prevent hydrophobia. The ankle is swollen and is colored. Has this any influence on the health and bodily organs now? (A) This is indicated most in the effect that the serums used in this period have upon the sympathetic nerve system, and affects in the present the LYMPH circulation, WITH the pressures as exhibited in the lumbar and sacral. With the removal of the pressure, the circulation brought to a nearer normalcy, and clarification of the blood stream, an equalization in the hydrochloric content in digestion, an equalization between the iodine and potash content, WITHOUT too much potash and LESS acid - these conditions will disappear. Well were there taken, at least once each week, an eighth grain of medicated ash to PRODUCE oxygen, AS it is carried in the system. When this is taken, over the sacral and lower limbs apply the ultra violet ray. Apply same to the sacral region and the back portion of limbs, so that along the nerve impulses TO the limbs the whole of the ray is carried. Let this be at least thirty-eight inches from the body in the beginning, and not given over two and one-half minutes in the beginning - see?
16. (Q) How long will it take to bring the body to normal? (A) In three to five weeks, as given, there will be the DEFINITE change for the betterment of the body. As to the responses from then on, will depend upon the conditions in the body itself - the mental attitude, the rate of vibration as is kept, and the activities of same. Don't eat too much - don't get scared - don't work too fast - don't think too hard!
17. (Q) What is the cause and remedy of the heart condition? (A) This produced by that condition existent in the carotid
130-1 Page 5
artery itself. This NOT other than that of the LUNG condition, as given, through that area in lung NOT sufficient to CARE for the blood of the body. Hence the RESPIRATOR, or the USING of the lungs AS pumps to INCREASE that area through which clarification - and oxygen will be carried to same - this lessens the burden to the valvular forces in the heart itself.
18. (Q) Is there any tuberculosis in the lungs? (A) Not active, nor even passive - at present.
19. (Q) What effect has this condition on the mind? (A) This should be indicated from that as has been outlined, as to how the greater effect of those injections of those conditions has been THROUGH the sympathetic system, which is as the basis of the IMAGINATIVE forces; NOT that the body IMAGINES as its illness, but that it may be accentuated by suggestion or RELIEVED much by suggestion; for only in the lumbar and sacral, as given, do the nerve forces or cerebrospinal centers show their repression, except through SYMPATHETIC centers along the spine. The mind is good! It's active!
20. (Q) Is there any leaking valve in the heart? (A) Not leaking; it is overflowing at times, from the carotid artery CONDITION, allowing the blood to flow too quickly from lung into the heart without clarification. Hence the smothering spells.
21. (Q) What is the remedy for swollen side, caused by pleurisy and swollen veins? in abdomen, neck and side? (A) Application here, for the local conditions - and for these - would be the mullein stupes. These are produced more from the condition in the RESPIRATORY system, as has been outlined, and when these are brought to a normalcy much of these will disappear. These, for the specifics, would be of the mullein stupes.
