Time of Reading 4:35 to 4:55 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., N.Y. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [503].
2. Now, as we find, there are disturbing factors in the better physical functioning of the body. These are of specific natures also from effects of disturbing conditions, and at times the effects of the disturbing forces produce greater distress than the cause. And the effects have been used as causes.
3. In the general physical functioning, the ORGANS themselves, as we shall find, are involved; making for these disorders as we find in the physical forces of this body, [503] we are speaking of, present in this room:
4. The BLOOD SUPPLY, shows that poisons are being carried in the system, making for an effect of disorders that produce in various portions of the system pains of an acute nature at times, especially in muscular forces of the body, for the effect is that of contraction in these portions of the system, through the reaction of nerve impulse from the character of disturbance there.
5. In the NERVE SYSTEM, we find there are those reactions that are natural from such disorders in the organs and in the reaction of the blood supply, producing those periods when sleep or those reactions from rest do not wholly bring to the body the resuscitation necessary after activities of the body - or causing those periods when the restlessness only adds to the distresses in the system.
6. As to the physical forces or the organs of same:
7. Brain forces are very good. Those repressions and poisons in the system make for disorders that sooner or later must disturb the sensory system. Eyes burn, throat is full at times, with the tendency for all foods that are
503-1 Page 2
taken to produce the tendency for regurgitation, belching at times of those things that have been eaten.
8. These are reactions that are seen from the effects produced in the nerve system.
9. Lungs, larynx, bronchi show the effects of the disorders carried in the blood supply, yet the organs themselves are not organically disordered; as also the heart's action - pains through this portion of the body at times make for the tendencies as the pulsation rises, yet the temperature that occurs at times is from an entirely different condition, as will be seen.
10. In the digestive system, and those organs as related to same, as we find, are the seat or the causes for the greater disorders with the body; in the ducts of the assimilating system and those related to same, for those conditions in the liver, spleen and pancreas make for reactions that cause the digestive area to be the greater portion of the disorders for the body.
11. These in the lacteal ducts and those in the area where the liver in its activity through the gall ducts are the disorders, are the main issues; though, as we find, through the abdominal area, especially in the caecum, there are those periods of pain that appear, as these were the causes - or the distensions of the colon itself in the area - that make for the disorder. These are rather reflexes. While, in making application for those things that will eliminate this from the body, it will be necessary that these conditions be taken into consideration.
12. In meeting then the needs, as we find, in this body at this time, first we would begin with these:
13. Over the area of the liver, pancreas and the spleen, we would each evening apply castor oil packs; three or four layers of flannel dipped in castor oil and this kept as warm as the body may stand, for periods of thirty to sixty minutes. When this has been done for two or three days, begin with small doses of the liquid Simmon's Liver Regulator until the system is entirely cleansed. See?
14. Then we would apply across the lower dorsal area (after this has been cleansed) a saturated solution of Epsom Salts, see? this applied outside over the kidney area, that we may reduce the conditions there where sedatives in the hepatic circulation have produced the feeling of heaviness through this portion of the system. This would be applied for three to four days, see?
15. Then, to 1/4 dram Sweet Spirits of Nitre in 2 ounces of Compound Simple Syrup, add:
503-1 Page 3
Oil of Eucalyptus.................1 minim, Rectified Oil of Turp.............2 minims. This would be taken in small doses, quarter of a teaspoonful - or six drops - twice each day.
16. Keep the whole of the intestinal system open, as will be made with the use of the Regulator.
17. Be well in the beginning, when the oil packs are given, that there be taken high enemas that will evacuate and relieve those tensions in the colon area.
18. Do these, being mindful of the diet that there are not too much of starch nor too great a quantity of meats taken; and we will bring this body to its normal reaction.
19. Ready for questions.
20. (Q) What has caused this poison in the system? (A) Inactivity of the liver and the eliminations through the regular channels, creating sedatives both in the kidney and in the activity of the gall ducts.
21. (Q) Does the gold in the mouth contribute a cause to this poison? (A) Rather the POISONS have made for those disorders in the mouth! These should be taken care of locally.
22. (Q) Would it be advisable for this body to smoke? (A) In moderation it is very good. Follow these outlines; these may be all taken by self and the preparations may be made, but be consistent and persistent - and we will rid the body of these disorders.
23. (Q) Any other suggestions at this time? (A) Be consistent in the activities, to be sure. When these are acting upon the system, do not STRAIN the body in any way or manner, or expose self to cold; for we are dealing with the very functioning of the organs of the system that will react to the whole body. Do these, as has been outlined - we will bring normalcy soon for the body.
24. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file
