1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now we find there are some abnormal conditions in the physical forces in this body, while the body is very good throughout. The functioning of the organs have become involved rather than of organic conditions. It, the condition has been produced by the lack of proper assimilation in the system, and the effect this presents on the body has produced and does produce the conditions.
2. Now these are conditions as we find them in this body, [953], we are speaking of here: In the blood supply in the body we find those elements that go to make up the hemoglobin in the system has become deficient, and that [which] would give the life-giving forces to produce the recreative elements has been overcome by the taxation on the system, hence the body often times lives and has its being on the vitality on the whole system, then we find this produces the taxation on the nerve system in that the vital forces become laggard or dull and the dull pains to the head, and through the whole system of the tired, achy feeling, especially, at times shows this condition. We have through many of the plexus this toxin then as produced by the poor assimilation produces the over-strain to the body through the centers, especially, along the region of the brachial plexus and the lower dorsal and lumbar region. This we see is the effect rather than that as produces the condition. Through the white blood supply we have the over-abundance, that is, with the numbers considered and the difference in numbers of red blood supply.
3. In the nerve system we find [that] the taxation to the cerebrospinal centers as we have given [is] produces [produces] by the condition as exists in the blood supply, hence the taxation becomes one of centralized in centers along the spinal connection, see. The sympathetic nerve system we find [in] very good control of the mental body,
953-1 Page 2
while the physical suffers with a distress. The sympathetic governs the body, and it becomes the physical strain, hence the fatigue, easily, of the body, more by the mental forces than of physical, though physical defects and effects produce the same taxation at time.
4. In the functioning of the organs themselves we find as these conditions through the brain force itself, the action is good. All of the faculties and forces are very good. Some strain to the sensory organism [is] produces [produced] reflexly from taxation to cerebrospinal nerve centers. In the organs of the sensory system, the effect becomes apparent only at times when the strain then becomes to the organs so affected, such as we have at times to the throat, to the eyes, and the dullness about the head and ears, you see. In the lung force proper the body is very good when considering the condition of the blood force proper the heart action becoming rather below the normal in its activity, than of high pressure and the circulation through the hepatics or the strain or cold or low circulation has its effect on the heart action proper. The digestive tract through the first stages of digestion, the body has become over-sensitive to the conditions that have existed there, and we have that of the nerve digestion rather than indigestion proper, for the pneumogastric secretes with the reactive forces in the system. The spleen we find full. Through the pancrean secretions, they are lax on account of the over-strain and low hepatic circulation. The liver becomes rather the excretory rather than secretive in its functioning, [there] becoming that in the left lobe, especially, of a poor circulation. A sympathetic condition rather than an organic, though it might become so without the proper adjustments through the system of the assimilating and eliminating organs being corrected. The low hepatic circulation, being produced by this condition, at times overstimulates the kidneys in attempting to take from the system the toxins created in the lower digestive tract, which is the seat of the trouble. Through the small intestinal forces or about the Peyer's glands we find by strain on the whole system about this portion of the body has giving [there has been caused] that condition which allows the forces to be centered there and to [unbalance] the circulation in its recreative element in the lacteal forces to supply the new blood supply in the body. This we find as the condition in this body here, [953], we are speaking of.
5. To relieve this condition, we would take that in the system that will give the balance of force to the body to
953-1 Page 3
create the assimilation and to give the excretory functionings of the emunctory forces their rejuvenating forces for the body, taking this in the system prepared in this manner:
6. To one gallon of rain water, add:
Clary Flower (Common garden sage)....8 ounces.
7. Reduce by simmering, not boiling, to one quart. Dissolve four (4) ounces of Beet Sugar in just sufficient hot water to dissolve it, then add, while warm, to other solution. Dissolve fifteen (15) grains of ambergris [2/7/77 GD's note: See 953-1, Par. R5, R6 in re Ambergris and Government ban (by the U.S. and Britain) on whale products] in one (1) ounce of grain alcohol add to solution, then add four (4) ounces of grain alcohol and fifty (50) drops or minims of Oil of Juniper, see, with three (3) drams of Balsam of Tolu cut with alcohol and added. The dose would be [a dessertspoonful] three times each day. Let the body keep as much exercise of the physical forces in the open as possible, not necessary the all open work but exercise of specific character in the open. Let the diet be of the green vegetable forces that grow above the ground, see, principally; not too much meats of any kind - sea foods often. Do that, and we will find we will give the reviving forces to all the system throughout. The second quantity may be necessary, see.
