1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [4762], present in this room.
2. Now, we find there are rather the complication of disorders with this body. These are partially of a specific nature and partially the results of effects created by the disturbance one portion has upon the other portions of the body.
3. In times back we find there was an injury to the body, where the muscular forces and those in the tendons were strained, and that with the settling of poisons in the system - as have come from inactivity in the thyroids, then poisons arising from one side or portion of tonsil - these, combined, have produced those conditions in the lumbar and the lower dorsal area, that affect the locomotion and the extremities of the body in the present. Hence we find a blood supply that has become deficient in the nutriments necessary for the resuscitating of the vitality and vital forces of the system; rather being submerged in the virility of the system, by the poisons as have been and are attempting to be eliminated from the system. This makes for the WEAKNESS as occurs in the body, the inability of the body to GRASP or to HOLD - as it were, the muscular forces refusing to contract to their normalcy. This also makes for those conditions in the regions where those disorders have existed, as produces the distress in the activities of the body in the lower portion of same; naturally affecting the eliminations, for a normal activity of same.
4. In meeting the needs of the conditions in the present, we would find, that were we to use this as a massage and a rub for those portions where the injury has affected the body, these will make for, with the rub and WITH the properties themselves, that which will bring about a better condition in THIS portion of system. Then, we would take one-half gallon of kerosene oil. To this we would add one-half ounce
4762-1 Page 2
oil of mustard, and one-half ounce oil of cedar. Shake same together THOROUGHLY when first combined, and each time before it is used. When being used, shake together and pour about two to three tablespoonsful in a shallow container, and apply to the sacral, lumbar and WHOLE of the cerebrospinal system, PARTICULARLY in the lower dorsal, across the lumbar, and down the limbs on the sciatic nerves. This, as we find, will strike in.
5. When the PAIN is EXCRUCIATING in nature, when the body attempts to move, we would apply a saturated solution of Epsom Salts, heated as hot as the body can bear, over the area where the pain is shown.
6. We would take internally, to CLARIFY the drosses of system, to make for a balance of the elements necessary to make a normal functioning of the thyroids of the throat and portions where disorders arise (that is, the poisons arise in system), those of atomic iodine, or Atomidine, in SMALL doses; taking two to three minims (or drops) three times each day. Take after the morning meal, after the noon meal, and before retiring; not more than two to three drops in half a glass of water. Take this for at least ten days or two weeks, then discontinue same for three to four days - then take ANOTHER round of same.
7. For the diet, this would be rather as an outline - it may be altered or changed when the conditions begin to improve, but DO NOT change too suddenly until there is a thorough CLEANSING of the system:
8. Mornings - the citrous fruits ONLY, at least for a period of three to five days.
9. Noons - either vegetable soups or meat soups, but NONE of the meats - see?
10. Evenings - vegetables, all characters and kinds; those ONLY, though, that grow ABOVE the ground. A little, then, of meats may be taken, but no HOG meat should be taken AT ALL!
11. Do this, and we will find we will correct these conditions for this body.
12. We would be mindful that when the body is massaged each evening, see, with this solution, that there is a THOROUGH massage along the whole of the cerebrospinal system, and ESPECIALLY in the lower portion of body and along the sciatic nerve. Do that. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) What causes the tinglings in the legs? (A) The hindrance of nerve and blood circulation, by the impairment through pressure - see? in the lumbar and in the LOCOMOTARY centers. That's across the lower portion of the sacral, or just where the nerve plexus in the brush end of
4762-1 Page 3
cerebrospinal meet those in the plexus that makes the LOCOMOTARY plexus to the lower limbs. This combination MASSAGED IN will release the poisons; the MASSAGE (hence the massage will be given deep and thorough, you see) will relieve the pressure.
14. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " File " " Ass'n
