Time of Reading 11:00 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Virginia. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2729] we are speaking of. Now, we find there are evidences of disturbances being created and brought about in the physical functioning of the body, that are abnormal to the body, and these conditions taken in time may be corrected without detrimental effects to the body, physically or mentally, in any manner. Allowed to continue in the manner as is seen, will bring conditions of an unsatisfactory nature. These conditions have to do with disturbances as bring about the improper distribution and improper eliminations in and for the body. These, then, are conditions as we find them in this body, [2729] we are speaking of, present in this room.
2. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, here we find evidences of the condition as is referred to. While the pressure, the pulsation and the respiration would be near normal, the constituents or elements of the blood show that there are disturbances in portions of functioning system that have to do with the distribution of those properties carried BY the blood, as rebuilding - and those conditions carried THROUGH blood, as to eliminations. These have some to do with the hemoglobin, they have some to do also with the plasm of the cell as regarding rebuilding. These are seen as disturbances, then, in other portions of the system, or the functioning organs, as we shall see.
3. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, OR SYSTEMS of the body, these conditions as we find exist:
4. The body very good as respecting control of self sympathetically, very good as to nerve reactions in the system nominally, and as for the cerebrospinal nerve and its tributaries to the functioning organs these are very good nominally - yet at times there is seen distresses produced reflexly, even in the nerve system, by the manner in which the body responds TO those suggestive forces as may be presented, either by ordinary or extra-ordinary
2729-2 Page 2
conditions as may come to the body, mentally or physically.
5. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, these are very good, so far as the brain and its reaction or reflexes are concerned.
6. The organs of the sensory system respond sympathetically to conditions as DO exist in the distribution of forces or elements for replenishing the system in its changes.
7. Throat, bronchials and the lungs themselves, show response in a normal manner - yet with disturbances as are seen in the distribution of forces, EASILY does congestion appear in the bronchial tubes and portion of lungs.
8. Heart's action near normal.
9. Digestion at times disturbed, as far as the stomach PROPER is concerned - well balanced as to the lactics and as to the acid forces in system, yet those in their exit, or in the intestinal digestion, show distresses.
10. Then, the conditions as we find have to do principally with those conditions as exist with the liver in its functioning, as related to the destructive forces of red blood cells from spleen and of the lobes of the liver itself. These, as we see, create that which has a tendency to DESTROY too much of the red blood cells, producing a lack of sufficient of lymphatic and capillary circulation to distribute the full amount of pigment for the building up of the exterior portion, or of the epidermis itself in portion of system. This forming, then, a character of leukemia, for the blood supply gives these conditions through the system as may CAUSE disturbances, as DOES cause or produce weakness, as does cause the inactive forces at times or the tiredness that comes from the system from overtaxing the body, through these conditions acting as they do.
11. In the action of the digestion itself, these then function under strain, and the character of the excretions from the system at times indicate this, as does that effect as is produced upon the lower hepatic circulation, or the condition in kidneys. The irritation at times for the bladder itself, though NOT an organic condition there - yet an irritation; rather as of a BURNING - produced by the attempt of the system to create an equilibrium in the full hepatic circulation. The mesenteric nerve system at such times causes some distresses, as the vegetative nerve effect to the body is to produce a tingling sensation, a heaviness in the lower portion of abdomen. Not that the body SUFFERS from this, yet these tendencies are exhibited in the system.
12. While the functioning of the organs as relate to the pelvis and the organs of those portions of the body suffer at times UNDER these, these are rather reflexes.

13. Then, to meet the needs of the condition, or better - to prepare the body that these may be warded OFF, and the normal brought to the body - those may be reached in more than one manner. FIRST we would give those properties medicinally as we would find in thyroid extract. Would be well to change the vibratory reaction in the system, provided the proper character of vibratory forces are used - either electrical or electrically driven - to stimulate those centers of the liver and spleen, from the 4th and 5th dorsal, from the 8th and 9th dorsal. They may be stimulated either by electrically DRIVEN, or by manipulation and the electrical application through those forces as the violet ray, or as of the sinusoidal ray (in the short range - not heavy or the deep) - but stimulating circulation, that we have more of a capillary, more or a lymphatic reaction, and so stimulating liver and the secretions from same as form to make those of better distribution of forces for the body. Or we may add WHOLLY those of medicinal properties as may be necessary to create a different vibration for the system entirely. THESE would be accomplished, then, through the low form of electrical forces that would add to the system those properties that would change the vibratory rate of the liver itself in its activity; that through the wet battery formation, but carrying as the carrier into the system those forces of camphor and of silver, alternated in its application. The FIRST is more in accord with that of the body. Do that. Ready for questions.
14. (Q) How often should the electrical treatment be given? (A) At least twice each week, not oftener - though it may be lengthened. That of the medicinal properties, under the direction of a physician that would apply the vibratory forces for the system also.
15. (Q) How long should the treatment last - each treatment? (A) Of those, were they given in the form of the vibratory forces with the violet ray, they should last at least five to fifteen minutes. If they are given with the sinusoidal ray, they should NOT last longer than three to five minutes in the beginning, though when they are made farther apart the activities of these may be made from ten to fifteen minutes ONCE each week - but not in the beginning.
16. (Q) What doses of the thyroid extract? (A) In small doses. This better than attempting to create too violent a change in the system at once, but under the direction of a physician who would also accord those of the vibratory forces WITH same, so that one accords one with the other.
17. (Q) Is there any chance of the rectal condition
2729-2 Page 4
becoming malignant? (A) Not with the correction of the eliminations, so that the secretions as thrown off from the system in the form of eliminations do not form cellular forces within themselves; for when we change the vibratory forces of the body, as is seen necessary for the proper eliminations - and the change in the blood supply itself, these then will PREVENT any recurrent condition in this direction.
18. (Q) Does the other have any effect upon the blood? in giving an anaesthetic? (A) Anaesthesia to this system operates nominally with this body, which is to make hardening effect upon the functioning of the liver, giving as tendencies - as may be seen by examination of those under ether - a whitish condition, or hardening.
19. (Q) This body ADMINISTERS anaesthetics itself. Would there be any danger of that having effect on this body? (A) Just as given, that anaesthesia to a system has an effect of creating hardening, or of the liver itself becoming subject to the conditions, and produces such an effect in this body - see?
20. (Q) Any further advice to this body at this time? (A) We would do as we have given here. We will so change the vibratory forces for this system that it may function nearer nominally or normally, and will PREVENT the occurrence of conditions that would become very detrimental to the physical forces of the body. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file " " Cayce Hospital
