Time of Reading 11:00 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Virginia. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2360]. Now, we find there are conditions as are disturbing in the physical forces of the body. These are of a specific nature, also those conditions as are results of disturbance and are then reflex in the action or disturbing forces of the system.
2. These, as we find, are the conditions existent with this body, [2360] we are speaking of, present in this room:
3. THE BLOOD SUPPLY shows the unbalanced condition as exists in the circulation, there being more of the white in proportion than there should be, and less of the red blood supply; consequently we have a form of anemia, produced by other disturbances, however, in the body; while the temperature as arises is the attempt of the system to adjust itself to this unbalanced condition. Hence the organs as are affected by same show either engorgement or the opposite effect. These may be indicated by the variation in the condition in liver and in spleen.
4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM we find many of the centers show an undernourishment; as do other ganglia show their OVER-activity, or of tenderness as from the using up of the energy of the system through directions or through incentives that do not coordinate properly with the activities of the system.
5. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF ORGANS, in brain forces, very good.
6. In the functioning of the organs of the sensory system, these are not NORMAL in their activity. This more from repression, or from lack of proper circulation, than from disorder in organs themselves; as is seen in vision, in auditory forces, in even that of speech at times. The body thinks faster than able to speak, or in attempting to concentrate we find at times things appear as misty, hazy, or indistinct. This makes for worriment.
7. Throat, bronchi and lungs - here we have again the effect of an improper circulation, and at times there is as of dryness in throat, tending to make for irritation as
2360-1 Page 2
PRODUCES cough. Again we have in portions of the lungs feelings as of weight, or pressure. Not organic disturbance; rather those of the disturbed circulation and the character of oxidization through the lung; for rarely does the body breathe as DEEP as it should. These conditions may become EXAGGERATED, to be sure, but there are no indications at present of the lung tissue being involved, other than that of attempting to produce sufficient oxygen for a badly unbalanced blood supply. Even cells show plethora; yet DO NOT show infection.
8. Heart's action abnormal in pulsation, below in respiration, and shows temperature at times.
9. In the digestive system, here we find a great deal of the trouble; for not as much precaution has been taken as there should have been for the proper diet, nor for the proper assimilations for a building UP of resistance in the system, and the stomach itself - in size, in shape, in position - SHOWS these effects; for hurried eating, improper digestion, laboring mentally and physically with food undigested, has made for conditions in duodenum and in ascending colon that cause the greater portion of the distress, and the adhesions and disturbance in the caecum and ascending colon - and the distress throughout the mesenteric system - is that which gives most of the disorder and the distress in the body at present, with that tendency of a CHARACTER of acidity that makes for too much of the resistance being used, with too little of the resistance being builded.
10. In the liver and the hepatic circulation, this naturally - under the temperature, the destruction of red blood cells in spleen, the enlivening of same, makes for those conditions in the very bone itself of body; becoming achey, tired, dull, in the joints, in the extremities, through the torso of the body; headaches, with bad tastes in the mouth. These may pass off with activity, yet they are as but the SIGNS of the system working under these difficulties.
11. The kidneys show that their activity is disturbed by attempting to care for the temperature as created in the hepatic circulation. This being full, or more active than normal, makes for the tendency of the disturbance in bladder, and for that of the kidneys being sometimes OVER active, at other times subnormal.
12. In meeting the needs of the conditions of this body, bringing about the near normal conditions, we would find that some rest, some attention should be given TO taking the body in hand to at least get ahead of the destructive forces, and build resistance in the body. While it would not require a great DEAL, as we would find, to GAIN this -
2360-1 Page 3
if the body WORRIES, then little may be accomplished.
13. In meeting the needs, then, we would first rest - either in a higher altitude, or in surroundings and conditions entirely away from the labors, physically and mentally, for at least ten days or two weeks. During that period we would have those centers in the cerebrospinal system so manipulated and adjusted, with those conditions in the right portion of the body broken up by the manipulation, and the use of the colonics to cleanse the whole of the intestinal system; giving those of the food values that will build resistance in the system. Such as will be found in those that will INCREASE the red blood supply, make for assimilation, also that will make for more alkalin in the intestinal tract; so that the peristaltic movement of the alimentary canal, or intestinal system, becomes nearer normal and not continually acted upon by cathartics, or those of any active force in acids that PRODUCES the evacuations of drosses from system.
14. In the food values, we will find that those that build nerve and blood, and especially the white blood, these will accomplish much.
15. We would also add, at least three times each week, those of the vibratory forces in the movement of the alimentary canal, applying the sinusoidal in its LOW vibration to the umbilicus center, and would then apply to the 4th dorsal center, while in the next application to the 4th lumbar center.
16. Ready for questions.
17. (Q) Where would be the best place to take the rest, where the treatment could be followed? (A) Any place, or any conditions where the applications may be made as given, and also where the FOOD values - or the diet - may be followed out.
18. (Q) How often should the manipulations be given? (A) Until these are broken up. In the beginning, it will be found that the body may be OVERTAXED, by making corrections and breaking up these conditions in the mesenteric system, and in especially that portion around or near the caecum; yet these, as we find may also be OVERDONE. These may be done at Virginia Beach!
19. (Q) What is the condition of the nose and the ears? (A) The infectious forces as come from these are reflex, and are the lack of the proper secretions for their activity. These, with the conditions corrected, will CORRECT themselves; though local applications occasionally will be found necessary, as of those oils that will LUBRICATE and also act as antiseptics to the tissue, these will be aided,
2360-1 Page 4
to be sure, with the applications given. DO that. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n office " " Research Department Two copies to Dr. Lydic
