Time of Reading 3:30 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Virginia. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2352], present in this room. Now, as we find, there are complications of conditions as disturb the physical functioning of the body, and while there are effects that at times seem to be causes, the CAUSES are rather those of hidden conditions and seldom are they active to cause the directions to that in the system as PRODUCES the disorders. This, then, makes for SPECIFIC conditions, with resultant effects that give or produce the disturbances for the physical functioning.
2. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [2352], we are speaking of, present in this room:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY - We find there are indications of the CHARACTER of disturbance by the manner in which the circulation is hindered in portions of the system, though the disorder would be rather the EFFECTS in the blood supply than causes; though when the blood supply is carrying so much that should be eliminated from the system, the effects from the disturbance in the blood supply produces disorders in OTHER portions of the body. Hence the changes as are apparent in the pulsations, in the regularity of the heartbeat, the coldness in the hepatic circulation, the effect in the extremities of the body; for the disturbance lies - IN the BLOOD supply - in the circulation as lies between those of the capillary or an EXTERNAL circulation, or the arterial and venous circulation.
4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM OF THE BODY - We find these are most the EFFECTS of disorders as are apparent in portions of the system, especially in those of the centers in the extremities, in the feet, knees, ankle, hips, arms, or in all portions where the MUSCULAR forces and the nerve plexus themselves must coordinate together. This then BEING an effect, rather than a cause, there must be the deeper SEATED conditions. These, as we find, come rather from - then - that of the condition as exists in the digestive system, or from the toxic forces as are exhibited in the whole of the
2352-1 Page 2
INTESTINAL tract. These are THINNED in the walls of same. Hence there are times when there are the poisons from same carried in the lymph and the emunctory circulation, of the minutia or portions of the muco-circulation, and this forming in this manner produces to the tendons and the muscular forces of the body the inactivity as exhibited in the attempts of their circulation to be carried on in a normal or proper way and manner.
5. The effects, then, as we find from these, in the FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES:
6. In brain forces and reflexes, these are good. Not in the sensory system either do we find those other than a reflex nature.
7. In the throat, bronchi, lungs and larynx, with the effect of the poisons in the general portion of the system below - and at times above - the diaphragm area, from that of seepage - as it may be called - there is produced a strain on the GLANDS of the system, as secrete for the replenishing of, or for the assistance in, the elimination and the assimilation of those things that make for resuscitating forces in the body. Hence we have at times through the throat and neck those of a dull ache, or pain - though these are not always definite in their location. As to the lungs and larynx, these are normal - so far as the functioning. Being a disturbance in the emunctory or lymph circulation, there IS at times - not always - a heaviness in the chest, or about the diaphragm area, as is seen in the FUNCTIONING of this portion of system.
8. Heart's action, as seen, irregular; though no organic disorder.
9. The digestive system, or the stomach itself proper not of normal size, or wholly in a normal position. The digestive ORGANS - the liver, the pancreas, the spleen - show for the EFFECTS as are produced by poisons in the system, that are engorged as a result OF same. Not to an abnormality that causes any distress as yet, but unless there ARE those conditions as will relieve - or produce more of a normalcy - some one, or all, must at SOME time suffer under the strain upon same; as does the kidneys or the whole of the HEPATIC circulation.
10. In the jejunum - the duodenum, jejunum and colon itself - here we find the indications, as WE would give, of the disorders in the jejunum, and especially in that AREA of the lacteals, that cause those distresses in the system where the area of locomotion and activity of the body are the results of same.
11. In meeting, then, the needs of the conditions for this
2352-1 Page 3
body, as we would find, it will be necessary that all of the disorders, as well as the CAUSES of same, be considered in the ministering for the needs of the body, to make corrections that would be of a lasting nature to the body.
12. First, WE would prepare as this to be taken for the change in the organs of the digestion, as well as to make for a better lymph circulation in the whole of the digestive system:
13. Take 3 ounces of clary flower to 16 ounces of distilled water. Reduce by simmering to 1/2 the quantity. Strain while warm and add 15 grains of ambergris, dissolved in 1 ounce of alcohol. Then add: Simple Syrup..............................1 ounce, Oil of Juniper............................1 dram, Alcohol (grain - 90%).....................2 ounces, Cinnamon (preferably in the stick)........1 dram. Shake the solution together before the dosage is taken. The dose would be teaspoonful 4 times each day, half an hour before the meals and before retiring.
14. We would, at least twice to three times each week, take those of the Epsom Salts baths, followed with a thorough massage along the cerebrospinal system - especially in the 3rd and 4th CERVICAL area, the brachial area, the solar plexus area, and the dorsal area.
15. At periods when there is distress in those of the joints, or in the locomotions, we will find that the application of packs of SATURATED solution of salts will aid.
16. We would ALSO take those of the electrical vibration as may be had from that of the ultra-violet ray, directed and centralized to the solar plexus area, that the organs of digestion, of assimilation and elimination, may be aided the most.
17. In the matter of diet, we will find that this may be a form - though may be altered to meet the needs, or the changed conditions as will result from the applications as have been outlined:
18. Mornings - rather citrus fruits or cereals, though DO NOT combine them! They may be altered occasionally with those of the stewed fruits.
19. Noons - rather those of the green vegetables, with plenty of the oils that will make same more active as an assimilation for the system.
20. Evenings - rather those of the vegetables that make for the iron, the silicon, and those things that will aid in the
2352-1 Page 4
FUNCTIONING of the glands themselves.
21. We will find, too, that at least three times each week we would take this:
22. Chloride of Gold 15 grains, in 15 ounces of distilled water. Bromide of Soda 10 grains, in 10 ounces of distilled water. Keep these separate. When the dose is prepared, take from 3 to 5 drops of the Gold solution and from 5 to 10 drops of the Soda solution in half a glass of water. This will aid - especially AFTER the vibrations of the ultra-violet light have been begun. These had best be taken in system just before the ultra-violet is taken.
23. Ready for questions.
24. (Q) Should I be concerned at all about an ache in the side? (A) Will these as outlined be applied, we can get rid of it!
25. (Q) Is it the same with the numbness? (A) The numbness is produced from the lack of the circulation changing from the venous circulation to those of the arterial circulation, or from the arterial to the venous - or from the arteries to the veins. Hence the numbness which comes most in the extremities, though at times is felt in portions of the torso itself. With an increased stimuli, see, as we will have - These are the active principles, now, as we have in that as given: With the salts baths we stimulate the external circulation, or draw blood TO the exterior portion of body - for this should be hot, see? Then, when the properties are taken in the clary water, we will find that of the clary flower or sage is an active principle with the digestive forces of the INTESTINAL tract themselves, acting PARTICULARLY WITH those of the circulation in the duodenum, pancreas and liver area, giving for the jejunum a better activity with that of the coating as is necessary to prevent seepages in the intestinal tract - as is seen, with those especially of that in the ambergris, is a coating FOR the intestinal tract, increasing - as it were, for it acts directly upon the muco-lining [mucous] of the whole of the intestinal system, stimulated BY that of the stimuli or alcohol, with the Oil of Juniper - which acts as a stimuli particularly to the eliminations in the hepatic circulation, which will prevent toxic forces from acting in system - as do those vibrations from the ultra-violet to the centers of the nerve system, as particularly to the solar plexus - which, being as the brain of the torso of the body, reflects to ALL the organs of the digestive forces. Hence the circulation is aided, those conditions as produced from those in the organs that are
2352-1 Page 5
under strain - or where pains are produced - will be relieved. Do this. We will find relief in the use of these, as has been outlined, in three to four weeks - but do not - because the body feels better - be unmindful that the CAUSES must be wholly removed!
26. (Q) How often the ultra violet-ray? (A) Once to twice each week. Twice each week would be better. This would be given shielded to the center of the solar plexus area, and BEGIN with not over two and a half minutes, and at least thirty-eight to forty-eight inches from the body - provided that the SOLAR rays, or those of the Alpine or Quartz light is used. These are preferable - the Quartz light.
