1. LBC: You have before you Mrs. [4310] who is in this room with you. She is before you now. You will see her. Go over her carefully, examine her thoroughly and tell us what is the matter with her, if anything.
2. EC: It is well to begin with the circulation in this body, as it comes in contact with the real troubles in the system produced on both the circulation and the nerve forces in supplying to the system. The blood has become impoverished from lack of nutriment, or assimilations of the digestive organs in the system to rebuild the blood, or the new blood into the system. Thus there is the carrying back, as it were, through the whole system, those properties which should be carried out, or taken out by the liver in its action from the hepatic circulation, through the kidneys and the liver. The action is back onto the lung force, or where it is aired here in the lung, in the blood, and the oxygen of the body. It is being carried back into the blood in the body to rebuild, to the particles or portions in the body destroyed thereby.
3. Here we have the circulation so continued in the system that the same force applies to the nerve force, except at the ends of the nerve force as we have both from the lymphatic nerve supply and force in the system, and to the ganglia; that is, ends of plexuses, as we have from the solar plexus and cardiac plexus. When coming in contact with the ends here at the frontal part of the stomach or around to the jejunum and the liver, the duodenum, pancreas and larger colon, you see, to the ends from the solar plexus, we have the ends where coming in contact with these to the cardiac plexus from those that govern the heart and respiratory system of the body. Hence there is produced this nervous force or sickening, nauseating of the whole body; it is languid, or limp at times.
4. That is the state that is produced by the lack of the action of the juices from the organ here in the body. The trouble we have in the system has produced now a lack of the food being carried or changed into saliva here. The digestion begins in the mouth, then the stomach, and we have
4310-1 Page 2
it passed then into the intestine here from the duodenum in an acid state, not being acted on by the forces from the liver in themselves proper.
5. These forces have kept up here in this body of Mrs. [4310] until we have produced clots, as it were, here in the lobe, or gall bladder in itself in the system of the body. That is, the ends of nerve and red blood corpuscles and into the lobes of the liver in themselves. Then, as we have these forces passing here, you see, it comes on more as spells, as it were, conditions that exist into this organ here, or the liver itself.
6. The liver in itself proper is the largest single organ we have in the system in itself. It is situated here on the right side of the body below the stomach to the right side, coming forth across to the right or the right lobe, across the frontal part of the body, and extending back and down. We have this in the body above the normal size. The smaller lobe enlarged by the blood flowing through in itself, with the enlarged condition of the organ itself. It secretes and excretes both from the system. It secretes from the juices to be carried on by the digestion through the gall bladder, passes in and acts onto the particles in the food that is used and assimilated into the system and carried back to the blood to be used as new force. It secretes then from the system the ends of used up forces of blood corpuscles, red blood corpuscles, the same as we have the spleen used on the white corpuscles. It carries force to the system, or a destroyer, or used forces in the system are carried through by the circulation of the body, where they are eliminated or thrown out from the system through the intestinal tract and passed off through the dross. As you see, these particles roll themselves up, as it were, and the action of the circulation on these particles produces then in the system a tough fibrous clot in the organs themselves. It is passed down, goes into water, to the duodenum, just below the stomach. These forces, you see, are produced into these by the lack, you see, which we have had first.
7. Now, we begin with the system at the beginning of the trouble that we have had in Mrs. [4310]. We first have had here pains along the small of the back, in the lumbar. This is not now, but was a year or two years before, produced there from the condition we have had existing in the pelvis. These then in turn caused pains, or affected the circulation or supplying forces to the kidneys, or their excreting from the system the poisonous matter of the body. They in turn affected the opposite pole, or the liver. We have treated these forces here and left a force in the system. Then
4310-1 Page 3
indigestion, belching, gas forming in the stomach, puffed up, swelling up at times, around the body, around the lobe, more as we have now, except in a more aggravated form at present, at this special moment, in this system.
8. These then produced aggravation to this system here, that is, to the liver, until we had the circulation forming, or throwing back into the system; a system not capable of eliminating these from it, these ends, these forces. Hence we have produced the condition we have existing in the body at present, or an [uremic?] acid condition of the system until that passes to the larger intestine, or the colon, across to the transverse colon, across in front, across the navel here.
9. This has produced then to the system a state of taxation to all of the nerves supplying to these; a packing up of the forces then, until we find the bile in itself eliminated from the liver here, back into the lower end of the duodenum in the stomach. Then we have the gas that forms there from these, which should be in a lactic state, or peptone in the stomach, acted on by the hydrochloric acid, secreted by the lactic in the stomach, and the gastric juice; the whole state of the body to be kept in a lactic state and passed on by the juices and into the blood.
10. To eliminate these forces from the body, we can do it by two or three ways, to eliminate them from the body.
11. First, cleanse the stomach here of what we have. Out the other way, not through the mouth. Water, just water, pure water. Full. Drink plenty of it, until we outgrow the acid condition in the stomach. Take this here just as it were. Drink all the water the system of the body will hold, until it becomes well assimilated, plenty of water in the blood thrown out from it.
12. Then take lemon into the stomach, just the juice out of the lemon, sucked with the mouth, until we produce a lactic acid, not hydrochloric, but a lactic acid in the stomach.
13. Then we would act onto these forces taken into these by the lactic or the laxative, onto the secretions of the liver, until we have these conditions - those that were thus acted on. This will rid the system of these boils thrown off by the bile in itself.
14. Then the manipulation of the spine along here, until we produce a relaxing condition, or a relaxing of the muscles governing the force here, or nerve ends, the muscular force of the kidneys, thus to eliminate from the system through this channel as much of the condition existing in the body as possible.
15. In other words, we have here a physical condition of a
4310-1 Page 4
mental and physical body, acted on by both the nerve force and the circulation; one of the mental and the other the physical, by the organism of the physical body - the liver.
16. (Q) Any other treatment you would prescribe at present? (A) That [as we have given] is one way to eliminate it from the system, but we can operate on the body and remove these conditions from it, as we have here. We would have the condition produced there then, but we would have to get the body in shape, because if not in a condition, it would produce coagulation of the healing properties should we have it in the present state. [See Par. R1.] Or it can be dieted until we remove these from it. But let's leave that off. Or we can take the body here by electrical force and remove these from it by keeping the water and hot pads on the system, but we will take into the system, into the stomach water, not too hot, and not too cold. This will remove the conditions, taking these along here, as we have them. This is the treatment for the condition we have here of Mrs. [4310], this the 28th day of February. Fill the stomach proper with water. Drink all it can at all times; drink until the stomach is full and cannot drink any more. Get up and walk around and drink some more, until we dilute all of the condition in the stomach. That is what she wants this water to digest, or be acted on by the stomach in itself. You see, we have meat acted on by saliva and juices in the stomach, by the pancrean juice and then the sugar, in the smaller intestines, which is secreted from these through these conditions. If we have taken then the peptonoids and peptones or proteids to act on the stomach, and the meats or food portions of animal matter in the system, all in the condition here are acted on by the liver itself more than we have acted on either by juices from the stomach or saliva, or by these others. You see, we have a lack of saliva in this condition of the body we have here. The glands in the mouth are not as free as they should be, and in the matter of foods, they should be well masticated and taken into the stomach, as much so [masticated] as possible. As we remove these conditions in the stomach by this taking in of water, then we take this acid, lemon and sugar, beet sugar, or cane sugar, clarified, into the system until we produce a lactic acid in the stomach, not hydrochloric (there's too much of that acted on the system at present [hyperchlorhydria]). Then we take a laxative to the liver in itself that will induce the liver to act not by
4310-1 Page 5
irritation but by the action of the organ in itself. Then we have the manipulation of the spine along the sides here, or the whole body, and we will remove these conditions. It takes a little time for this, in the body, and to keep from a return of these conditions in the system, or the return of gas forming back in the stomach or swelling of the jejunum here, the smaller intestines, below the transverse colon. No opiates into the system if it is possible to eliminate.
