Time of Reading 146 East 49th St. 4:00 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. New York City. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [4726]. Now, we find there are physical disorders with this body. These conditions, as we find have to do with the eliminations of the body. The distresses are produced from the effects as are brought about by the causes of the eliminations affecting other portions of the system.
2. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [4726]:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find shows a variation from time to time. There are periods when there is a lack of the red blood supply, or the correct pressure, or the correct effluvia in the red blood or in the hemoglobin itself, the numbers of the cells deficient. Again there will be seen, in the course of a week or eight to ten days, conditions wherein the red blood count would be nearer normal, with a deficiency in the white blood supply. There, to be sure, are specific causes for this change, or for this variation, as we shall see.
4. IN THE NERVE FORCES, OR NERVOUS SYSTEMS, we find there are conditions that have long been aggravating in the cerebrospinal system. This, as we find, is produced by the pressures as are apparent in the 8th and 9th dorsal region, in the 3rd and 4th lumbar region. These, as we find, have been long existent, and the impulses as have been produced by these pressures have brought about conditions in the physical functioning organs that become ACUTE now, and the greater distress being in the SYMPATHETIC system produces a plethora, especially in the caecum region. Also a reflex condition in the area of the glands that assist in the assimilation, or an INFLAMMATION in the lacteal region; not the glands or ducts themselves, though they DO become involved, especially when there is felt that burning sensation in the lower portion of the stomach, in the over-acidity as is seen in the system.
4726-1 Page 2
These, as we find, not causes - causes of the nature that bring or PRODUCE distresses in the present - but are in fact the RESULT of pressures as have long existed in the cerebrospinal system, and become acute on account of other conditions that have arisen in the digestive system, in the condition in the pelvic region, and especially inflammation in the region of the Fallopian Tube. These are in SYMPATHY, then, one with another. Not wholly is the condition existent that of a prolapsus, but rather as would be seen by X-Ray (and this would be a good test for it) of the caecum region, to be engorged, especially, this producing a pressure to the liver area, and causes the burning sensation. Not ulcerations, not lacerations, not even those of an area that is inflamed, other than reflex, through the activity of those forces in the system as of the emunctories in their activity in carrying the gastric forces of the digestive system.
5. In [As?] to the effects as are produced in other portions of the body, namely those of the plethora as exists in those portions that affect the soft tissue in the system as related to the pulmonaries and their attributes, or tributaries, to the throat, to the nasal forces, to the antrum and soft tissue. These at TIMES are in a state of a dry condition, near to dry eczema. This produced by that of the taking away of the fluids, as it were, when the blood supply [is] low in creating that of the leucocyte for those distresses in lower portions of system. At other times these become INFLAMED and cause distress and disorder.
6. Now, as we find, these conditions may be removed best WITHOUT operative forces, UNLESS there is a CONTINUED EXCESS OF secretions that PRODUCE the pains in the lower right portion of the body. In THAT case operative forces WOULD be necessary, but under the existent conditions we would use rather that that would cause drainages to be at an excess in the system, and to ELIMINATE same through the channels of the system, PRODUCING coordination in ALL of the eliminating portions of body, as of the alimentary canal, as of the kidney, as of the respiratory system, of the whole system coordinating together, would bring a much more PERMANENT and a much BETTERED condition for the whole body, [4726].
7. In reaching these measures, we would then first take internally those properties of the animated ash, taking each day - for at least ten days - one-quarter grain.
8. Half an hour after this is taken, apply over the solar PLEXUS area that of the ultra-violet ray, at least thirty-eight inches from the body, and for not a longer period than three minutes.
4726-1 Page 3
9. We would also begin with those of corrective measures in a GENTLE manner throughout the cerebrospinal system, as to REST the body.
10. When the [there?] is pain, or those distresses as come to the system are so severe, apply that of the mullein stupes over those portions where the pain is severe. This should be applied from the green mullein, bruised and immersed in boiling water, and applied as hot - direct to the body - as may be sustained.
11. When there are those distresses in the lower LUMBAR region, then apply over the KIDNEY area - see, the KIDNEY area - that of the the saturated solution of EPSOM Salts. These need not be HOT, but at least tepid, so that the effect of same is attained in the active forces about the kidneys themselves.
12. In the manner of the diet, be mindful that there is NOT taken that that is too hard of digestion. This rather as an outline, but may be altered or changed to meet the needs:
13. Mornings - only those of a citrus fruit diet, preferably taking hot water with a pinch of salt in same fifteen minutes before the fruit juices are taken. Do not have all orange juice, or all of grapefruit, or all of lemons, but ALTERNATE or combine same. This may be taken with ice in same, or cooled by ice about same.
14. Noon - take a diet that is easily assimilated, as of two or three green vegetables with dressing.
15. BETWEEN these meals take an olive oil sandwich.
16. In the afternoon take olive oil in small quantities, half teaspoonful at a time, but every two hours during the afternoon.
17. At least once each week ELIMINATE or EVACUATE the whole of the colon, not producing too great a pressure but with tepid water, and in the end with oil douche, that we may prevent INFLAMMATION from arising, by the coordination with the manipulation and the properties as taken.
18. Ready for questions.
19. (Q) Who should administer the manipulations to the body? (A) In this surrounding, we would find Berger, or Daley, or Green, or Reilly, or THOSE of that school.
20. (Q) Is an olive oil sandwich bread dipped in olive oil? (A) Whole wheat or brown bread, not soaked - but spread well.
21. (Q) What would be taken for the evening meal? (A) Cup of milk, cocoa or such - not too heavy. Do not allow the body to become, of course, too dry - or too intent on eating too much, but let's cleanse the system first - see? The water that would be taken during this period would be
4726-1 Page 4
well to have in it those properties of elm, at least once - and the saffron the next; that to prevent fermentation - see? Don't take too much soda, nor too much of those that act as too astringent for the system.
22. (Q) Would sweats or Turkish baths be good for this body? (A) We didn't give it, did we? These may be better later on - would be too strenuous at present. Let's cleanse the system inside - she keeps the body pretty clean outside!
23. That is all the questions.
24. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Mr. [279] " " Ass'n file
