1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now these are the conditions as we find in the body of [3882]. The abnormal conditions are specific and have to do with certain properties in the blood supplying forces. Then we have the abnormal conditions within the system that have the pneumogastrics or keep or force somewhat of this condition in the system. Then we have other conditions that affect both the nervous forces and the functioning of the organs of this body.
2. Now these are the conditions as we find in this body:
3. First in the circulation we find the blood more deficient in the leucocytes than in the red blood forces. We find the hemoglobin so deficient in the cellular forces to supply leucocytes within the system as to prevent perfect coagulation throughout the system, which we find makes the specific condition that exists within the body where there are incisions, or where there are abrasions in any portions of the body. Prevention of perfect coagulation causes adhesion of the tissue of the system that is affected by the lymphatics and blood forces that should carry leucocytes or cellular forces to produce perfect coagulation. There is a lack of forces in one of the elements to make perfect coagulation or to bring an equilibrium or balance within the blood force itself.
4. The blood pressure we find is normal for this body, with the depletory nerve forces, with the over stimulus ... [word(s) missing] the heart forces; no organic condition even of the blood itself, rather a functional condition of the blood.
5. In the nerve system we find that which first produced or brought about the condition within this body; there has been at times back, at the 2nd lumbar, lesion forces, by a strain that this body experienced which soon after, just after then, and some four weeks after we had a cold or congestion or what we call flu within the body, influenza, which formed at these places, that is 2nd lumbar, a lesion which affected then the digestive tract, causing through the nervous forces - that is 2nd lumbar ganglion trouble first produced through
3882-1 Page 2
the intestinal tract, overabundance of the condition and blood through the colon which produced, as we find, not sufficient mucous forces within the intestinal tract to properly carry on all functions of the organs with these lesions. We find the nerve centers throughout the intestinal tract, those about the right side, those about the left side, the head here of the colon (ascending), the colon became inflamed and this then brought on the specific condition that exists in the body at the present time. Lack of intestinal forces to carry those digestive forces produced inflammation.
6. Then we had temperature produced from toxins assimilated by the organs that function through the pelvis and through the digestive tract; the kidneys became impaired - they show the effects of the forces within the system at the present time. The action of the liver on those carried more of these back into the system, then affected all the nerve centers to carry the circulation to those nerve forces within the body about the lower dorsal. And the upper, 1st and 2nd lumbar, began then to show the effects, then suffering, pains across those portions of the spine, then those that affected the kidneys directly about the lesions that affected those portions of the body. When we had an impaired or impinioned nervous center, we had reflexes produced in the system that brought about the blood force or the blood supply till it becomes deficient in the action over the whole system as they were carried in the system.
7. With that, then we find the whole body becomes affected by those conditions, especially through the intestinal tract, throughout the colon, through the upper portion of the small intestine, here, we had inflammation carried by reduced hepatic circulation in those parts of the body.
8. Through the nerve forces as we find about the solar plexus ganglia, we have some reflexes that were produced from those to the pneumogastrics and those of the nerves of the stomach, so that at times we find that a particle of food taken into the system affects the system opposite to the way it should - that is - nausea, fullness of the stomach, fullness of gas formation, as it were, about the right side here, and the nervous forces. There we find these are some better than they have been through the function of the organs themselves.
9. We find the condition through the brain forces good in the body, it is well balanced as far as brain forces are concerned, and with its action over the spiritual forces of this body, with its mental faculty, forces are well balanced. The spiritual forces are above the ordinary, they
3882-1 Page 3
are normal within the body. The sensory system in the nervous forces shows an organic condition over which, in each one or, the function of each in the system is supplied, especially to those in the eyes. Hearing, more sensitive forces ... [word(s) missing] shows it is not affected to the vocal organs or the function of those, or about the reflexes of the secondary cardiac plexus forces and their effects to the larynx over the body.
10. The lung forces in the body are good; the nervous forces as shown through those, with the depleted nerve condition, does not give as full inhalation to the body as it should; it causes pains to the body, and carries deep breathing here about the diaphragm and affects the nerve forces of the pneumogastrics.
11. The function of the spleen shows its effect from the condition of the blood supply; it has a tendency to become hard, it is small and drawn.
12. Of the stomach we find the effects of the nerve forces; no organic condition exists, and through the duodenum and pancrean juices where they are created, the pancrean juices function fairly well, though the blood supply is so deficient at times as to cause inability of the pancrean juices to create sufficient, or to supply to the system mucous needed to carry on the intestinal digestion, as is being produced by the depleted nerve supply.
13. The liver we find enlarged, though ... [word(s) missing] function somewhat through the left side, we find in the left lobe a soreness is produced coming just below the ribs, and in the breast pains.
14. Through the intestinal tract we find inflammation is produced by non-activity of coordinant blood forces to produce coagulation to effect through the cuticle to those where there were incisions, but here ... [word(s) missing] if the blood supply is mad it is best then to have done the condition that does exist through the intestines and through the pelvic organs where the incisions were made - though they were very good but not completed when it was done - they are working on itself ... [word(s) missing] is carrying here itself and will carry to those functions their supply that will give sufficient blood supply and nervous forces within the body.
15. The kidneys show the effects of over stimulus here, the nerves and the action of the forces as carried balances in the system; the organs of the pelvis themselves function according to the condition as exists within the system and is normal in the body in its present condition, though we find that some of those forces have changed places in which
3882-1 Page 4
the normal condition exists within the body.
16. To relieve or bring about a normal condition to this body we would do this. First we would take into the system those which will supply nutriment to the blood forces and which will give within the blood system those properties to produce perfect coagulation; then we would remove the seat of the cause of the trouble as first produced within the body.
17. We would give this into the system: Sarsaparilla Root...........4 ounces, Yellow Dock Root............2 ounces, Burdock Root................2 ounces, Black Snake Root............2 ounces, Blackhaw Bark...............2 ounces, Wild Cherry Bark............2 ounces, Elder Flower................2 ounces. This will be put into a gallon of water, rain water preferred, and reduced by simmering, not boiling to 1 quart - while warm add 4 ounces of Alcohol with 3 drams of Balsam of Tolu.
18. Dose would be a dessert spoonful three times a day. While this is being taken in the system, and afterwards for sometime, use the electric vibrator to remove or strengthen the condition along the spine from the sacrum to the dorsal.
19. Do this.
20. We will find we will bring this body to a normal condition, giving strength, alleviating the nervous forces and the condition within the system, giving sufficient incentive for the digestive forces to carry on their properties in a normal condition.
21. (Q) Why doesn't [3882] have children? (A) The condition that exists that we have given, through the pelvic which, when we bring about a normal condition of the pelvic organs themselves, and bring about a condition as exists, you will find that was done through those operations that affected the Fallopian Tube - they have not discharged properly to those within the body to show the proper normal condition, we find, to function properly.
22. We are through.
