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.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here.
3. Now, we find the body physically very good in most respects. Rather should the body be warned of conditions that cause uneasiness at times, and such conditions that form the base of this disturbance should be corrected, rather than that of abnormalities in the physical forces of the body.
4. Now, these are the conditions as WE find them with this body, Miss [4501], we are speaking of:
5. The disturbing conditions we find are in the metabolism of the body, which, as we find, is of the taxation to the nerve system, and is producing such conditions as these in the body through the strain as is produced on various centers of the nerve systems - for, as we see, the higher vibrations are the base of the disturbance, for in those centers which direct the functioning of the sensory system, from the cerebrospinal or those centers through which coordination, and the metabolism and katabolism of the system is produced, these show the strain, and reflexly these conditions in the sensory system bring disturbance. With a constant strain on the sensory system, the reaction is either to the eyes or ears, or throat - in that at times a fullness is produced through the vocal box proper, and apparently the thyroids do not function normally. Again there is seen halting in speech. Not impediment - not troublesome - but the necessity to stop for a second and swallow, as it were, to produce a normal reaction in blood and nerve supply for speech making. Again we find that there is the tingling sensation, as it were, to the auditory nerves. Not that the hearing is impaired. Not that there is a thickening, even, of the walls of any of the tissue in the sound or auditory producing system, but a ringing or
4501-1 Page 2
tingling much as if water was running, or as if water had been in ears. Again we find the eyes show as if there was inflammation in the orb proper - not hurting, but rather the burning sensation. Again there is the feeling as if the whole outer skin, or the whole cuticle feels as if it is too large or too small for the functioning of the body from within. Those are just reflexes, and are symptoms, as might be said, of the condition existing in the body, and the warning against allowing this high tension to exist without giving the system the proper reaction for its normal correction. When such reactions again show in the lower centers, and the sympathetic system is involved, we find the sensation as of sinking or rising, or as if the heart's action would become involved in same. Also, sympathetically there comes the same reaction in digestion, when the hypogastric and pneumogastric nerve plexus become involved, and there is distraughtness, or lack of control, apparently, to the functioning of the intestinal system - the same as is seen in the functioning of the organs of the pelvis, when an over taxation causes the system to apparently TINGLE, as it were, with the inability of containing self, or of coordinating properly.
6. Now, to meet the needs of these conditions, there is the necessity of the body's bringing the closer coordination between the sympathetic, cerebrospinal, and sensory nerve system, and supplying in the building of the forces in the cellular building portions of system that necessary for the stabilizing of the reactory forces between the nerve systems of the body and the purely physical functioning; for the body is high strung, as would be termed normally. Brilliant of mind, and brain forces respond to the reaction of sensation of vibration of those forces that build in the system - for, as is seen, the body mentally - and the body in its nerve reaction - would respond as quickly to color forces as it would to medicinal properties; so medicine within the system would be destructive, destroying that reaction that is necessary for coordination. But the VIBRATION as is NECESSARY to coordinate these conditions should be applied, which would be found in using the Radio-Active Appliance, with the negative center applied to the umbilicus - and through that anode take those properties of both Tincture of Iodine and Spirits of Camphor, alternated on alternate application - both in a normal solution, see? These should be taken or applied to the body every second day, as the body rests - and the body should rest, mentally and physically, at least one hour each day, preferably after luncheon hour. This should be made a rule
4501-1 Page 3
of the body's - for entering into the silence with self, taking on the vibrations of those properties necessary to create the equilibrium, will bring strength and ENDURANCE - which the body desires. We are ready for questions.
7. (Q) What causes the occasional spell of neuralgia? (A) This the same reaction when as applied to the emunctory circulation, see? This incoordinating, through high tension of the system and the metabolism and katabolism of the system not coordinating with the nerve and blood supply of the body. Taxation, over taxation, to the whole physical and mental body; or, as would be called in common parlance, an over taxation to the mental for the physical condition of body: or, as would be termed in higher medicina, that of inertia of the physical to supply necessary elements for the higher spiritual and mental elements of the individual.
8. (Q) Why does reading make the eyes red at times, and what can be done to relieve same? (A) Just those conditions as have been given as the cause, and those applications - and consistency with same - will remedy and cure same.
9. (Q) What will thicken the hair? (A) The better circulation - for, as seen, this condition was caused by those elements that sapped the vital strength of the body, and during that period caused all of the reaction through the capillary circulation to be so increased, that, in elimination, much of those elements of the capillary or epidermis in the condition caused these conditions to come about, see? With the correction of the circulation and of the nerve supply - then any irritation that will stimulate circulation through the scalp, especially such as that of the massage with the crude oil - CLEANSING with a twenty percent (20%) solution of grain alcohol - will thicken and bring better conditions to the scalp, and more of the suite of hair, see?
10. (Q) What will make the body stronger physically? (A) That as just given. Creating the metabolism and the katabolism, so that there is the perfect coordination, we will BUILD the body strong physically, and give the resistance as necessary for the functioning of the mental within.
11. (Q) Is there any indication of goitre? (A) Only that fullness as occurs at times. Hence that application - in this rebuilding - of those properties and vibration of Iodine in system, that will add to ALL of the ductless glands' functioning, and prevent any stoppage - or creation of direct of indirect obstruction - in any of this portion of the system. Hence the strengthening of the
4501-1 Page 4
physical forces through the application of those vibrations as have been set forth. The one for the ductless portions of the system, the other (Camphor - and the alcohol necessary as the carrier as in each) to create that strengthening to the muscles and to the muscular tissue in tendon and in muscle, see?
12. (Q) The battery should be used each day? (A) Should be used every OTHER day - not each day, but the body should rest and enter into self's own meditation for one hour EACH day. Every other day apply the battery vibrations. One day there would be used the Iodine anode - the next day the application is made it would be with the Camphor application. All this is from within self, and it is not necessary for any medicinal properties, or the attending of physicians; for this may be applied by self and in self's own conditions, see?
13. We are through for the present.
