1. EC: Now, we find there are some abnormal conditions in this body, and these may be corrected, when properly given the vibrations to create that equilibrium in the system necessary for the physical condition of this body. These (the abnormal) have to do with specific conditions and that this condition brings to various portions of the body in the functioning of the organs of this physical body, as we shall see.
2. Now these are conditions as we find them in this body, [4182], we are speaking of. First:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find above the normal in its pressure, and carrying that bacilli as is produced from toxins in its own system from condition in the intestinal tract, especially that about that which produces the rebuilding, or new blood supply in the system. This condition we see affecting the organs through which the elimination of such bacilli, or toxins, should be eliminated. We have the excess of red blood cells. Deficient in white, though coagulation takes place in the system with exertion. Hence the dullness to many of the nerve centers, and the easily fatigued condition comes to the body from either physical or high mental exertion, which happens through the sympathetic and not of the mental forces.
4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, we find these conditions:
5. In the ilium plexus proper, and the tributaries of this plexus, and the junction of the hypogastric plexus, gives the dull achey feeling to the portions of the abdomen and side here. First in one portion of the system, again it shifts to another portion. The specific cause we will see is not in the nerve system, though affects these plexus in this manner.
6. In the sympathetic plexus center, in the fourth lumbar, there we find that which produce the dull achey pains that come to this portion of the body, these being reflex rather than of direct condition of those portions of the body.
7. In the sensory organism, sympathetically, the organs of
4182-1 Page 2
sensory system show their reaction to conditions, rather the reaction than reflectively even in nerve center, but rather of the circulatory system than in nerve direct to the organs of sensory system.
8. IN THE ORGANS OF THE SYSTEM, we find as these:
9. In the brain force proper very good. The mental forces, especially, well defined development.
10. The spiritual and soul forces of this entity are better, yet is kept submerged to some physical conditions.
11. In the throat, larynx, bronchials, and the ductless glands of the system, especially in thyroids, those of the excess in system creating the equilibrium give their expression.
12. Lungs very good.
13. Heart action, with the pressure, normal for the condition. No organic forces.
14. Digestive tract over sympathetic through the hypogastric and pneumogastric centers. Hence, the appetite goes and comes, as it were, with the conditions as expressed in upper digestion of the intestinal tract. Too much lactic fluids, and at times gastrics show an over stimulation from the system.
15. Liver, pancreas, very good at present, though some excess of excretory functioning takes place in the system at times. Not at present over-active.
16. In the upper intestinal tract, or that where intestinal digestion takes place after foods have been acted upon in and past the duodenum by the juices from the pancreas and the liver, we find the seat of the trouble for this system. The peyers glands become in the state of over-action. Hence the reflexes in the nerves of this portion of system, as given, and the troubles in the glands of the intestinal tract proper.
17. In the colon that condition as is produced by this state or condition in system, and lack of secretions at times to carry out the proper functioning of this portion of elementary canal.
18. The hepatic circulation high.
19. Kidneys show the overtaxing. Hence some inflammation created in and about these organs, especially in the bladder proper.
20. Organs of pelvis show this reaction rather of organic conditions, though in the false pelvic cavity, and about the ilium plexus center, disturbances there.
21. R E L I E F, to give the relief to this body, we would take in the system those properties that will create the balance in the system of those functionings of the organs to
4182-1 Page 3
create the necessary secretions, for the healing forces in blood supply and in tissue proper, through these portions of the system.
22. We would take this in the system. To one gallon of rain water, we would add: Yellow Dock Root.........2 ounces, Burdock Root.............2 ounces, Yellow Root..............2 ounces, Black Snake Root.........2 ounces, Elder Flower.............4 ounces. Reduce by simmering (not boiling) to one quart. Strain. While warm, add four ounces of grain alcohol, with three drams of Balsam of Tolu, and two drams of Balm of Gilead in it. The dose would be two teaspoonsful three times each day, before meals, and EAT the meals.
23. Give as the diet rather those of cereal, or all things that grow above the ground. Not any of the tuberous nature while these properties are being taken.
24. In the system at the time should be plenty of water. The system does not take sufficient water for the body.
25. Take those exercises necessary to produce assimilation, but not overtaxing the body in any way.
26. Do that.
27. We will find we will bring this body to its normal forces by the time the half of second quantity is taken.
