1. EC: Yes, we have the body and those conditions that affect and surround the body, [4381].
2. As we find, there are those incoordinations between the sympathetic (or the imaginative and impulsive system) and the physical or cerebrospinal system. These produce, in reactions at times, those variations and the variableness in the activities of the body as related to the physical and normal reactions; incoordination being produced by pressures that exist in the cerebrospinal system, and those that make for lack of connections directly to those centers in the brain forces as to make impulse coordinate with the normal physical reactions. These are more severe or more disconcerting, and more pressure exists, at times than at others.
3. From the periods that have been passed in the development of the physical body, in its renewing of the physical attributes without the normal renewing of connections with the sympathetic and cerebrospinal, or between the impulse and the reactions from the imaginative to the normal physical or corporal body, necessarily these have left an enlargement of the pineal centers in the main branch or center of same in the lower portion of the cerebellum; forming, then, a definite place of contact with the physical attributes of the body.
4. As we would find, this may be materially aided; that is, there may be added to the vibrations of the body those elements and factors that go to make up the reactions in the system, such that there may be produced those feelers and the resuscitating of those nerve centers and plexus, nerve ganglia stimulation, that will make for a better coordination in the physical body.
5. Necessarily, these would be rather elemental in the
4381-1 Page 2
beginnings, that the inception of the changes which would be wrought might not be too violent to the reactions of impulses that will be created in the various portions of the system, by the addition of that to the system as to produce coordination in that portion of the impulse in nerve matter itself to make the coordinating reaction in body.
6. We would then use this, in the beginning:
7. Make the plain wet battery appliance that would carry in one of the anodes the Chloride of Gold. The smaller anode would be attached to the 1st and 2nd cervical center (the anode from the copper pole). That passing through the solution (and from the nickel pole or anode) we would attach to the right and upper portion of the umbilici plexus, or that area over the lacteal center, so as to make for such vibrations in the assimilation of the material forces in system more perceptible and more conducive to a greater activity in the cerebrospinal AND sympathetic plexus of the nervous system, so as to add to these more of a coordinating connection between those centers along the cerebrospinal, between the sympathetic and the cerebrospinal nervous system.
8. In the beginning these attachments would be applied for at least twenty minutes once each day.
9. After such treatments there should be a gentle massage (by the hand on body) from base of brain to the end of the spine.
10. This battery, as we find, will stay charged for twenty-six to thirty-six days.
11. After the end of the second period, or after fifty-two days, we would then give those changes necessary for further resuscitating, or those conditions to meet the changes that will be created by the change of this application.
12. There should be precaution taken in the beginning that not a greater period is given for the application than that outlined, else we will have a type of nausea and a reaction in the mental aberrations for the body that would be detrimental; but a period of twenty minutes will not be too long, and this will gradually supply that necessary for creating better coordination and for overcoming those impulses that arise from the ATTEMPTS of reaction and coordination for the body.
13. Ready for Questions.
14. (Q) Is he on the road to recovery? (A) As we find in the present conditions, there are periods when there apparently is a much bettered condition; then we have lapses again, sometimes going farther back or becoming more serious or more violent in reactions. These
4381-1 Page 3
surroundings, as we find, may or may not make for a recuperation to the whole body; but adding this as we have outlined would make for a proper resuscitation for the active forces in the body.
15. (Q) Will he entirely recover? (A) If there would be added those properties for the system as we have outlined, that make for the chemical reaction in the physical that deals with the mental reactions and coordinations, there would gradually be brought about conditions to make for a complete recovery.
16. (Q) Should he be allowed to come home? (A) If there are those precautions taken to MEET the conditions in these various changes, as we find, it would be very well. Naturally, there would be required the precautionary measures respecting both the treatments and the activities of self respecting those recurrent conditions.
17. (Q) How can we break down his reserve and gain his confidence? (A) With the addition of those elements (and we are speaking of the ELEMENTAL conditions in body) that will give a different response, the outlook upon those things that react within and without the body will make for an entering into the consciousness that others desire to be fair and honest. This is what breaks down most of the resistance; feeling, knowing and understanding by the outlook that it is not just sympathy, but love, confidence, faith, hope IS created by the difference in the outlook upon life.
18. (Q) Is he unhappy in his present state? (A) To be sure, as indicated, there are some periods when there is much more moroseness than would be with happier or more PLEASANT surroundings. Rote often becomes very hard upon the body, yet in a manner this must be preserved. With the breaking up of the barriers that prevent the proper coordinations, as we find, there will be a much happier outlook upon the future and upon the present.
19. (Q) What can we do most to make him happy? (A) Follow along the lines as we have given, or those suggestions that we have outlined.
20. (Q) Will his present improvement be stationary, or not? (A) It will be retarding when there is again the attempt of the impulse between the cerebrospinal and sympathetic to make for normal activity, see? for to deaden a center or impulse from any ganglia only makes for the incapacity of coordination, that makes for the whys and wherefores; or, as we may term, the ability to reason THROUGH those applications that are being made those conditions that are to be met day by day. When these inabilities come, then it
4381-1 Page 4
makes for those tendencies for rebellious forces to arise.
21. (Q) Are we doing everything possible for him? (A) In the present surroundings, these are good. These may be added as we have given, or changes may be made - and the circumspection necessary for the carrying on of those suggestions for taking advantage of the present conditions; but, as given, there may be expected periods of further advancement and then a tendency to fall back - see? but through the physical these suggestions that we have given, as we find, would make for a permanent resuscitation, and an activity that would be most helpful.
22. (Q) If he comes home, shall we try to get him a job? (A) After a while; not in the beginnings.
23. (Q) What kind of massage, or should it be done by a doctor? (A) It would be well were it given by someone who gives any of the general massages, or this may be given by a sympathetic osteopath. As we have given respecting this low form of electrical vibration, it is the very essence of life's resuscitating forces in a physical body, rather than at the other extreme in the high frequency, or even in those of the reverse coil high frequency. These of the high frequency only make for a quicker pulsation more from the PHYSICAL standpoint, while the low vibrations that carry the elements making for the activities of the first principles in resuscitating the activity of glands, serums of the body and the impulses themselves, make for the creation IN the glands of that which produces WITHIN the body the necessary elements for resuscitation of coordinative forces, especially to the nervous system and to the brain itself.
24. We are through for the present.
