1. EC: Yes, we have the body here.
2. Now, as we find, there are the complication of conditions that disturb the equilibrium of the body. While there are those conditions which prevent the proper coordinating of the reactions in the body, in the mental and the physical aspects, there are physical conditions that disturb the body. Were these corrected, as we find, there would be the more close association and the better coordination between the activities of the physical and the mental, and the distributing to the body of the impulses that arise through the variations in the activities of glands, organs, and specific conditions that disturb the functioning body.
3. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, Mrs. [4116] we are speaking of:
4. First, IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY there are evidences of the character of those properties that have been and are being administered at times for the allaying of effects that are produced by disturbing conditions. Nominally, we would find, as the blood stream itself is the rebuilding, as well as the cleansing (in a greater or lesser manner) of the drosses from the system - as in respect to used energies, at least, the supply would be under normal conditions very good, save in the hormone necessary for the creating of that plasm which makes for the connection between the sympathetic and cerebrospinal, from definite conditions existent physically within the body. Hence, as would be indicated from this, GLANDS of certain portions of the system are affected by, and the cause of, some of the distresses in the body; these having to do, then, with those glands specifically as related to the assimilations in the system, affecting the activity of portions of the body direct.
5. IN THE NERVOUS SYSTEM (or systems, rather, would be
4116-1 Page 2
indicated here), while the cerebrospinal in its activity is near normal, those of the COORDINATING between the sympathetic AND the cerebrospinal are those that are in the greater distress. Hence the variations as to the reactions that are indicated in the body, under the various temperaments and under the various applications that have been administered for the correction, or to allow the body to rest from those ORDEALS at times which the physical body has, or does at times undergo through the inability of the responses between those impulses within the sympathetic and the attempts to carry out those impulses when they are attempted to be coordinated in the involuntary reactions through the nerve and muscular forces of the body.
6. As indicated then, these form a character of condition that may be called that of starvation to the nerve forces of the system, and the inability for the impulse to carry through to make for the specific functioning of those in that particular portion of the body thus affected, in those glands as indicated about the lacteals and those that are affected directly by these to the gland that carries the impulses through to the distribution of activities in the brain forces themselves. Hence the PHYSICAL reaction from injury as had in work that has been attempted or done on the mouth! Then, why do these coordinate in their effect upon the sympathetic nerve system? Because of the starvation to those impulses to carry TO the sympathetic system that necessary hormone to create the feeler-impulse to the nerve ends themselves. Hence at times whole portions of the body become numb to the exercise or to pressure; at others we find the body becomes super-sensitive through the attempt of the cerebrospinal to carry out those impulses that should be and that are nominally carried in the sympathetic nerve system. The distresses that are produced often, then, are in the attempt to create the COORDINATING between the sympathetic and the cerebrospinal system, and the lack of the functioning of the organs in assimilation to carry ON that necessary element to CREATE for the body the necessary forces.
7. Then, as we find, there is lacking in the body the specific balance of elements. At times there is the lacking of the forces that are created by the system to carry on the functioning of certain glands within the body. At times we find the body normal in reflexes; at others we find those reactions that are of abnormal reflexes and impulses.
8. These, then, produce or constitute the greater distresses in this body, [4116].
9. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES:
4116-1 Page 3
10. The brain forces, in normal functioning, are very good.
11. Conditions that exist in the throat, the head, the activities of those portions that are influenced by those impingements which have been caused by the breaking of portions of the structural portion of the body in the mouth itself, have impinged those nerves that supply from the 3rd and 4th series, that cross themselves at the 1st and 2nd cervical vertebrae. This makes for that stiffness, the complainings that were at one time of the pains in the back of the head, to the eyes, between the eyes, and then the melancholia that comes from the impingements of those SAME sources that are impoverished by those nerves from the sympathetic system to the lacteal gland centers.
12. The lungs, heart's action, pulsation - at times we find these near normal; at other times we will find a digestive system showing an equal balance in both the acid and alkalin content; at others we will find a very excess acid content. These are due to the conditions or pressures that are produced, from the thickening of tissue as in the gland area which CAUSES those distresses.
13. In the functioning of the organs of the pelvis:
14. Since there have been those same activities from a reflex nature, then the activities through the impulses that arise from the functioning of the glands of the organs of the pelvis become abnormal in their reactions. Hence the attempts to restrain their reaction has been often SEEMINGLY helpful, but at most periods MOST detrimental to the better conditions for the body; for they have only added, as it were, fuel to already FLAMING centers in the sympathetic system that were under stress and strain.
15. Then, in meeting the needs for the conditions of this body, these - as we find - may be helped materially. It will require patience, persistence, and - necessarily - changes, as the tangle of affecting conditions are straightened out in their regular order, for the resuscitation of forces in the system to create a normal equilibrium in the body.
16. First we would change from the present surroundings to those of a more quite, those of a more sympathetic, those - necessarily - that do not IRRITATE, but that do keep the activities of the system in accord with that necessary for the better conditions of the body - see?
17. In the applications, we would begin first with small amounts of iodine, or Atomidine in the system, to reduce the excess of potash and to enable the glands to carry sufficient of those properties that will ENABLE them to function properly.
4116-1 Page 4
18. We would also release, by GENTLE massage and by specific adjustment, those conditions in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th cervical centers, that will relieve those stresses and pressures that have arisen and cause the pains in the head, the throat, and in the face.
19. Also we would use the low formation of electrical vibration, to produce a coordinating circulatory force in the central activity of the nerve energies - or, the Radio-Active Appliance. Each application would be from the right to the left; that is, right wrist, left ankle; then the left wrist, right ankle. Each time make the upper portion of the body the POSITIVE pole, in the electro-magnetic forces that would pass through system with the use of this appliance.
20. In food values we would add those that stimulate, especially, for the carrying of more properties that enliven and produce a specific activity for the glands of the system, especially those that make for a phosphorus reaction for the system, to enliven again many of the glands, especially in portions of the reproductive system, that have been hindered in their activity.
21. So, as the stimulation from the reactions in the blood supply, in the nerve reactions, from the vibrations changed, we will enliven again the ducts in the activity of the glands of assimilation, and carry a coordinated force to the body between the sympathetic and cerebrospinal system. These we would do.
22. Ready for questions.
23. (Q) What hormone is most active in creating this condition? (A) Rather, as indicated, the LACK of a hormone is creating the condition. Hence the necessity of ENLIVENING the glands that are affected by the activity of excess iodine content (in atomic form) in the system, see?
24. (Q) Are there any infections in the teeth or gums themselves? (A) Rather has the shock to the nervous SYSTEM been from a fracture to the bone itself, in the upper left portion of the jaw - see? Hence the activity has been to produce the strain that causes pain in head, in neck, and especially the 3rd and 4th series of supplies of blood AND nerve to this side of the face. Hence, we find it running on the right side, in the neck, and - as given - the manipulations should extend through the 2nd, 3rd and 4th CERVICAL centers, RELAXING them by manipulation.
25. (Q) What should be the dosage of Atomidine? (A) As given, small quantities, so that there is not too great a strain on the system, until the manipulation, environment and food values are also having their effect
4116-1 Page 5
upon the general body. The quantity, then, would be from three to five minims once each day for the first week. Then three minims twice each day for the next week. Then stop off for a week. Then begin with the small quantity again once each day; the next week increasing again, see?
26. (Q) How long should the battery (Radio-Active Appliance) be applied at a time? (A) This should be from twenty to sixty minutes, or - if it is necessary for quieting of the nerves - three to four hours would not be too great.
27. (Q) Were the relations with her husband and his position in any way responsible for her illness? (A) A contributory cause, as may be seen from the general effect upon the collapsing of the nervous system - or the inability of COORDINATION between SYMPATHY and the effects of normal reaction in cerebrospinal nerve forces.
28. (Q) Is this iodine required due to goitre? (A) Due to the ineffectiveness, or rather as given, to the lack of potash, which PRODUCES the effect of over-activity of the thyroids in their inefficiency to meet the needs of the system. Goitre is at times the RESULT of such conditions.
29. (Q) What is wrong that causes the pain now in the mouth? (A) The reflexes, or the swelling, or the impingements which will be released by the relaxing of the cervical areas; but, as given, these are contributory to a GENERAL condition. Let's take all causes and work together. Do as we have outlined for the present. Change in the applications may be given from time to time.
30. (Q) Where should the body be taken to get the proper treatment? (A) Where the surroundings would be congenial to those necessary things that may be applied for correcting this body. Do not allow the conditions to continue, for they become more and more constitutional and harder and harder - because some portions of the system, under the present condition, are being starved. Let's make the change.
