1. EC: We have the body here, [287]. Not so good! Not so bad!
2. As to those conditions that we find for this body, where those repressions have been produced by what may be truly called scar tissue in the muco-membranes of the system - and especially in the cardiac portion of the stomach proper; when there is the contraction, or the sluffing off of those activities that come from overcirculation, overeating, over-exercise, that affect directly the metabolism or blood pressure to the body, there are those tendencies for the fainting away, the inability to move or act without the contracting pains in the region of the heart.
3. If there would be dismissed from the mind that it is organic HEART disorder, and realize that this is from conditions which have arisen - and that the mental AND physical reactions produce these conditions as to the heart - better conditions, as we find, would ensue!
4. We would keep those properties of the saffron tea, the olive oil, the adjustments - but MORE of THOROUGH manipulations over the muscular forces of the body, as WELL as adjustments in those areas that we have indicated.
5. True, there are periods when the blood pressure is above normal. This is not as yet other than those states of the psychopathic reaction from the contraction which ensues in the muco-membrane area of the cardiac plexus of the stomach and esophagus.
6. And while there is even DILATION of the heart at times - with the keeping of the moderate exercise, with the keeping of the properties that will carry away the excess forces of the system, keeping on the UPBUILD of the physical body, not overeating, not overexercise, not overanxiousness, we will find that MUCH of this condition will be rid ENTIRELY from the body.
7. Do not take any of those properties, either in digitalis,
287-13 Page 2
digital or strychnine, to change the pulsation or heart beat.
8. Rather, if there is the necessity for anything, use those INHALATIONS of hartshorn, or the like. These would revive the reactions the better, with the stimulation - in the cardiac area - in the cerebrospinal system.
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) Does the warm weather have anything to do with his condition? (A) BETTER in warm weather than in cold; because of the contractions of the superficial forces of the body, see?
