1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. This body is very good. The abnormal conditions that exist in the body have to do with the lymphatics and emunctories and the action of those with some of the ductless glands in the body. The functioning of all the organs in the body are good.
2. Now these are the conditions as we find in this body, (Mrs. [780], we are speaking of). In the blood supplying forces in the body we find those conditions existing in the blood very good, all the component parts are well balanced; there is at times, especially early in the morning when there is more of the lymphatics carried in the blood than should be carried, it being produced by a condition existing in the upper dorsal and the lower cervical region. At rest the body becomes relaxed and through those ganglions the muscular forces deflect the circulation of the lymphatic circulation to such an extent that it is taken by the venous circulation and carried to some portions of the body effecting then the bronchials which in reflection effects the thyroid which shows their condition in the throat, at times, by the mucous forming in the throat condition as produced in the nasal cavity and the amount of mucous forming there produces spasmodic condition at the time, you see. With this comes from the circulation though not an impaired condition in the blood or the circulation, but itself a condition produced by existing conditions as found along the ganglions of the upper dorsal and the lower cervical region.
3. We find the pressure of the blood 130. Red blood corpuscles count over three million, white or leukocyte count over two hundred thousand, the hemoglobin is of correct shape, color and form in the action of the body. In the nerve forces and condition of the body, we find the nerve supplying forces in this body very good; there is perfect accord between the cerebrospinal and the sensory organs, yet there is an over sensitiveness along the shoulders here, you see, or in the upper dorsal and the lower cervical that is produced by some congestion that has
780-1 Page 2
been caused to the body which deflects the nerve tensions between the cerebrospinal and the sympathetic nerve system; this juncture here there lies between the 3rd and 4th dorsal and the 5th and 7th cervical this in turn reflects the effects of those conditions to other portions of the body, that is to the circulation as carried to the throat.
4. The functioning of the organs themselves we find in the head here, and the condition as produced by some trouble with the nervous forces is deflected, that is, effects the teeth, for parts show there is being some poison carried back into the system that should be relieved, while the condition of the teeth should be looked after, using on those specifically that hinders or retards those conditions of bacilli that is acting on some of the gums here and in some portions of the mouth.
5. The condition in the nasal cavities are produced from the nervous forces and the action of the lymphatic forces as carried to those here, you see, the bacilli is present there that is produced by those conditions. They will be removed by forces that will apply both to the system and by manipulation of the body.
6. The brain forces we find is active in the body, that is supersensitive forces are well balanced, and an even temperament in action throughout the body. The lung forces are good, the body should take more deep exercise to expand the lungs, those given by the forces that will reach those to be treated through the body. The heart action is good as we have given from the count. The digestive tract and forces are good; at times we have some trouble through the reflex portions of the digestive tract, though at present they are very good. In the rest of the portions of the body, we find the functioning of the organs in their normal condition reaching at the present time to the condition that should be expected in the body and reaching here the nerve forces as applied that is necessary for this condition in the body.
7. To relieve or bring this body to a perfectly normal condition first we would treat the condition as we found in the mouth, we would apply to the gums here - (that is after some of the teeth themselves, one molar, and the sensitive forces to those of the stomach and eye teeth, have had attention) then we would do this:
8. A paste that is made from Tooth-ache Bark reduced very low and just sufficient powdered table salt to make a paste, this would be rubbed on the gums and around in the mouth, we would relieve and destroy the condition in this way after the condition is treated in the mouth. [Simple formula for
780-1 Page 3
what later was called Ipsab?]
9. To relieve the condition existing at present in the lymphatic we would take in the system 24 hours apart 2 doses, each dose would compose one-one-hundreth-twentieth grain of Atropine that would be taken in the stomach - this is a hypodermic medicine. Then exercise with the shoulders and neck and arms to adjust these portions of the body here along the upper dorsal and lower cervical so that we will relieve the condition in the body here. Do that.
10. (Q) Would there be any other treatment you would give? (A) Do all we have given here.
11. We are through.
