1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time. You will diagnose the case thoroughly, giving the cause of the existing conditions, also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body. You will answer any questions regarding this body that I may ask you.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here.
3. Now, we find there are those conditions in the physical forces of the body that prevent the normal reaction to the functioning of the organs and the reactory forces through brain action to the body. In these we find there are specific conditions to be encountered, and that with the proper care and attention this condition can, and may, be brought to a near normal condition for the body in its reaction again.
4. Now, these are the conditions as we find them in this body, [4269] we are speaking of, present here in this room. First:
5. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, in this we find the reaction very good in many ways and manners, yet the stress under which normal functioning is produced at times brings strain even to the rebuilding in the blood supply.
6. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, properly, in the nerve systems we find the seat or the cause of the conditions in the body, in the coordination between cerebrospinal, sympathetic and sensory organisms.
7. Now, as we find, to give the complete description of the conditions to be met, and how this condition is effective in the physical forces of this body, you will find it necessary to understand something of the reaction between sympathetic, cerebrospinal, and sensory organisms, or the nerve systems of the body - and particularly in this body.
8. In the beginning of this condition (which, as we find, was some ten years ago) there was produced in the lower dorsal a condition that hindered a cell in its reaction through the lyden [leydig?] gland. In this action we find
4269-1 Page 2
that the system responded only through the sensory system - that of a very high vibration between the sympathetic and the sensory system. The physical forces at the time coming under the reaction of congestion in the lymph producing glands, and in the numbers of leucocytes created in the system - the condition remained for the time being, and the body suffered only from sharp pains at times across the small of the back. In time this began by the reaction of the blood supply, and the attempt of the system to eliminate these conditions, to act as a dam, as it were, or a retarding of the flow of the nerve energy in that plexus known as the solar plexus. Hence this center, then, becoming, as it were, relaxed to the state of attempting to carry dead cells from the system, began to cause troubles with the digestive system, troubles with the mesenteric system, and the reaction to same was to lay the system open for that action of congestion known in common terms as cold, or begun with that CELL action - producing, then, streptococci in the blood. The general system being of such a nature as capable of combating with same - through the liver and the spleen - this reaction, then, was to RAISE this cell to the center above the cerebrospinal plexus, that joins directly with the cerebrospinal, the sympathetic, and the sensory system, in the 10th and 11th dorsal center - and then there began the first reaction - some two years, six months, five days, ago - that of the first inability of coordination between the responsive action of that as the nerve action between the positive and the negative nerve centers, or the VOLUNTARY action becomes involuntary, and where voluntary action should be the body necessarily has to react, then, to be able to voluntarily act. This is through nerve systems, now, we are speaking of. In this reaction again, we find this then produces a paresis to this plexus center, known as that which has left the cell where the cerebrospinal reaction is giving off to the charge of the eliminating of this condition in the system. This then forms to the base of the brain that reaction through the glands - that have already become active through the condition in the sensory system, also in the sympathetic system - and raising the high tension to the nerve reaction, we find that the gland at the base of the brain, extending as a thread entirely through the whole nerve system, becomes inflamed, and at such times all locomotion becomes as draught, or as incapable of keeping same in balance, and when this reaction passes - by the sympathetic nerve system reacting to same - the body is again able to balance between cerebrospinal, sympathetic,
4269-1 Page 3
and the sensory systems, and the brain again functions normal.
9. In this gland, then, we find that as is the basis of that through which we may expect to ELIMINATE from the system that condition that has hindered, and does hinder, the perfect coordination in the mental forces of the body, with the cerebrospinal, sympathetic, and sensory systems, for without proper coordination between each of these the body must necessarily remain unbalanced physically and mentally, and its reaction from same be detrimental to the physical reaction of the body. While the organs themselves may remain in near normal functioning, the reaction of the cerebrospinal, sympathetic and sensory systems, do not produce proper reaction in the body.
10. Then, in the gland at the base of the brain we begin with those properties that will create the proper vibration in the body as to cause eliminations to be set up, and that the blood stream and the cellular forces, and all of the creative energies in the system to create physical reaction in nerve forces, so that both white and gray action in nerve serum, or nerve action itself, is normal. These, then, will be found through consistence, and persistent action, for the physical forces of the body to bring about the normal conditions for this body, [4269], we are speaking of.
11. Then, we would begin in THIS way and manner - for, as we find in the brain forces, these respond ever to the highest vibration of the nerve system, and the organs of the body are as tautnesses to the nerve reaction - for, as is seen in the sensory system, ALL of the sensory organs respond to this condition, and deterioration at times sets in - as is seen in the eye, in the ear, in the speech, in the feeling, in the sensation as occurs over the whole of the surface of the body at times. Again we find the heart's reaction, the digestive system, all SYMPATHETICALLY react - yet all may be recalled perfectly normal for a physical reaction in the body.
12. We would begin, then, as this: We would take those vibrations in the system as will be found from the application of Chloride of Gold directly to the solar plexus center, alternating the negative applicator or anode from the umbilicus to the 10th dorsal, in its application each day to the body, through the Radio-Active Appliance - using at least ten (10) ounces of the solution through which the vibratory forces would be conductive to the body - making the positive application or anode to the wrist and to the ankle, alternately. At least two hours each day should this be applied to the body.

13. Taking - in the meantime - those properties internally as are found in fifteen (15) grains Chloride of Gold to fifteen (15) ounces distilled water. When taken in the system as medicinal properties, in this manner: Make solution of soda - bicarbonate of soda - one (1) ounce of soda to ten (10) ounces of distilled water. These two are combined when they are taken into the system. To half a glass of water add, the first day, one (1) drop of the gold and two (2) drops of the soda water, see? The next day there would be taken two (2) drops of the gold and four (4) drops of the soda (combined in the half glass of water). Increasing each day until ten (10) drops are taken, see? Leave off one (1) day. Then begin with twice each day, taking one (1) drop of gold and two (2) of soda - increasing the dose until ten (10) drops are being taken twice each day. Leave off entirely for a week.
14. After this has been carried this far, then we would give that as necessary for the change of medicinal properties.
15. Once each week there should be given gentle massage to the glands - the pituitary, the thyroid, the glands about the kidneys, and a stimulation to the solar plexus center in the 10th and 11th and 12th dorsals. Also a vibratory force set up about the umbilicus, that eliminations may be set up in this system - for we will follow these consistently and persistently, and bring normal forces to this body, [4269]. Ready for questions. (After pause) We are through for the present.
