1. LBC: You have before you Mrs. [2646], ..., Ohio. Go over her carefully, examine her thoroughly and tell us what is the matter with her if anything.
2. EC: Now we have this condition here in the body of Mrs. [2646]. We begin from the head and go over the whole body. We have a condition here at the first and second cervical of over-taxed nerve centers, pressing on to the walls of the blood supply to head and facial muscles, producing here these conditions we have in the head of pains in the head, head aches. These come from a condition lower down in the body. A condition that we have in the circulation of the body of poor elimination in the circulation of the body, until we have an overstrained condition in the supply to the organs of the system. First, it is not the beginning of the trouble in itself. We have something in the body that has produced the condition we have in the system - that is, at the 8th and 9th dorsals. It has produced a condition there from the condition in the stomach, that has produced these conditions to the blood supply. A calling of forces of the blood or its rebuilding forces in the system. Rebuilding this condition in the body, produces this condition in the system. Then we have this from the condition we have had existing in it. The treating of the troubles here, produced a sympathetic condition or reflex condition to other parts or organs in the body. Most of the pain we have in the body of Mrs. [2646] is from reflexes from the condition that existed here at the solar plexus, and at the first and second cervicals.
3. (Q) What other conditions do you find? (A) Now, we take up this body, this condition as we have in the system from the circulation. The blood supply in the body is composed of white and red blood corpuscles that are used in the system, in rebuilding the properties in the system. Any organ, or any body that becomes in an abnormal condition, we have over-stimulation or taxation of blood to those parts of the body, or poor elimination of the circulation, or its properties to rebuild in the system. Then we have these conditions that exist here, producing lesions here along the spine, where we come in contact with
2646-1 Page 2
the branches of the arteries and of the nerves that supply to these organs, that come in contact with these. These produce, then, overstimulation to these nerves and muscular forces supplying these branches, producing then over stimulation to these parts, until we put up or form a seat of trouble in the system, as we have in these, here, at the cervical region and in the dorsals, opposite from the solar plexus. As these become overtaxed, we have the same condition existing, though in the form of opposite condition, in the nerve supply in the body, carrying local pains to different parts of the body and different organs of the system, produced by the over-taxed condition to these, form a pressure, the nerve forces and supply to the branches producing the condition we have in the system of the body, as we have now from the cerebrospinal nerve force and centers here, coming down the spine, along into the spinal cord and the lumbars, and its branches off from these to the conditions we have from the solar plexus, cardiac plexus, and illiac plexus, here to the pelvis. As these conditions become stimulated, the conditions that exist in the system, of poor elimination of blood, we inhale into the breath, the systems taking on, as it were, that which it cannot eliminate through the proper channels in the body. Hence we produce then a taxation of the nerve forces in the body of poor connection between the sympathetic and cerebrospinal nerve systems in the body. The cerebrospinal is the brain of the body, carrying its forces or its impressions to the brain, acted on both by sympathetic and cerebrospinal nerve. Not the same nerve carries the impression that revert the forces or remove the condition from the system. The taxation of one is the relaxation of the other. As we have in these forces, and pains in the head, we have through the body at times, right in the morning, dizziness, sick at the stomach, producing an uncomfortable feeling to the body. Reflexes from the condition, or not in thorough unison between the cerebrospinal and sympathetic nerve systems of the body. Not a condition, that would produce, as in this body of Mrs. [2646] or become alarming, unless it were allowed to remain until its shifts about from one to the other and set up a seat of trouble. Then will be a condition that will produce bad effects to the physical and mental body. We have effects, you see, of these conditions existing in the body, showing themselves through the physical portions of the body, in its effects and supply of the nourishment to the eye, to the head. Also in the same condition from reflexes we have through the pelvis in its action on the digestion. Of course that which acts on the
2646-1 Page 3
solar plexus, acts then on the force to the colon, juja [jujunum], here in the smaller intestines, to the supply of these forces to the blood forces to these. Hence the condition of uneasiness through the whole body. Then the condition of the body we have here, of its mind in the body or the impressions through that of the brain forces of the body to the sub-conscious self in the body, produces then this taxation to the system. We have here in the body a strong will - self will. Suggestion is strong to the body. Remove by power of suggestion.
4. (Q) What produces the trouble in the right side. (A) Over-taxation of the forces supplied from the nerve forces here from the lower ends of the solar plexus nerve forces, supplied to the condition in the intestinal tract, produces pains through the forces supplying to the nourishment of these organs in themselves. Hence pains we have through the side. More at the sides here than we have to the back.
5. (Q) What about the condition of the kidneys? (A) Overtaxed condition in the system, or poor elimination, of course, produces some inflammation, or excess matter to be eliminated by the kidneys. Hence the condition we have across the small of the back. Pains through the pelvis in its poor elimination of the circulation in the body, produced by the same condition we have in the system.
6. (Q) Is there floating kidney? (A) We have two kidneys in the body, below the lumbar, on either side, that secretes from the system that which should be eliminated through these, or opposite pole of the liver, which is the excreting and secreting, or the largest single organ we have in the system. The kidney is the opposite pole from the liver. These are eliminating from the system that of excess matter, or of inflammation produced by eliminating used forces in the body, taking place by the new or building material in the system. Hence we have through the hepatic circulation the fastest or extra amount or flow of blood. That is, the liver, kidneys and intestines.
7. (Q) What is the condition of the nervous system. (A) It is an overtaxed condition as we have had here before. Not a unison between the sympathetic and cerebrospinal. A condition formed first by the indigestion in the body as in the stomach and intestines. We first have the condition in the system that produced a lack of digestion in the stomach proper, acted on by the pancrean juices and to the intestinal trace where the last of the digestion takes place. We have then a stagnant condition produced in the colon, or excess of matter past out of the stomach that
2646-1 Page 4
should be digested, carried into the stomach, and intestines from the stomach, produced the condition first of over-taxation on these. Then we have first the trouble with the liver. Of course, the opposite pole in action from the kidneys, taking into the stomach that which carry this out, or excitement to these, by exciting the nerve forces in the stomach to act, and not by natures means. Forced to act, or the liver to act or secrete and excrete more of its charges here, to eliminate from the intestine. Then it produces the condition we have at the solar plexus. These then with the conditions or poor elimination or circulation in the body, until we have the condition as we have it now.
8. (Q) What treatment would you prescribe? (A) To remove the conditions, electrical forces along the spine after we have used hot and cold applications alternately at the solar plexus nerve forces. Plenty of water inside and out. Alternate hot and cold for this, and compresses to the solar plexus, alternate of hot and cold. Strong impressions to the body. It will receive them from the electrical force, and the condition of the body will fell the condition in the system. Strong impressions to the system will help remove the condition in the body such as we have in anything else. Remove the condition of the trouble and relieve from pains. Remove the pains without removing the condition and the pains will set up of themselves somewhere else, we have had here before.
9. (Q) Any other treatments you would prescribe for the present, to be taken? (A) No. .
