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 give the cause of the existing conditions, also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body.
2. EC: Now this body we find very good throughout, and in many respects an exceptional body from the mental and spiritual side of the entity.
3. In the physical forces we find there are some disturbances that cause distress in the physical at times more than at others. There are two specific conditions producing these, and the distress is the effect of conditions existing in the physical forces. They have to do with the eliminations and the effect of non-elimination on centers in the nerve supply in the body. These are conditions then as we find them in this body, Miss [4870] we are speaking of, present in this room. First:
4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find very good in many respects. That is, the coagulation, the effect of the constituents and elements of the blood supply, very good, yet from the lack of eliminations through the emunctories we find there are times these poisons are left in the system that assist in giving the distresses to the body in its normal functioning.
5. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, in certain centers we find there are impingements that produce, with the condition existing in the system, where poisons have been allowed to gather in the blood supply, that with the strain gives the distress to portions of the body, especially in the upper plexus of the locomotion, though both are affected in a different manner. That is, the locomotories, or the brachial plexus, that governing the arms and shoulders, the locomotion in the lower lumbar plexus, which gives the condition in the feet at times, producing at such times strain or stress, the lack of equalizing the circulation, and the impingement in the 2nd and 3rd dorsal is that producing the trouble from this condition. The other assisting or lending to the condition,
4870-1 Page 2
bringing about that disturbance in the body, as we have here in the 2nd and 3rd dorsal plexus. This reflexly and sympathetically affects the brachial. This gives then the tingling, deadening, sensation, to the lower or under part of arms, elbows, finger tips, producing the inability of the plexus to function normally. In the lower lumbar plexus, and reflexly from the lower locomotories, the condition comes to the hips and lower portion of back and to the arch of the feet, especially. These show how this condition through the sympathetic nerve system affects the physical in this body. With the condition of poisons in system, from the condition that has existed in times back more especially than at present, in the intestinal tract, the tendency toward the digestion to be long, and a feces lying in the intestinal tract too long brought about the first conditions. With the plexus becoming involved, or the centers, the segments, showing the impingements, it became localized and equalized. This affect directly also the sensory organism, and especially to the sense of sight. Then with this correction many portions of the body will be in the better conditions to function more normal.
6. IN THE ORGANS OF THE BODY, brain forces good, as has been given. One above the many in spiritual discernment and in mental abilities.
7. In the organs of the sensory system, the whole organism very good, save where the nerve supply from 2nd dorsal supplies to the eye, the system is very good. This we find disturbed through this impingement.
8. In the throat, lungs, larynx, bronchials, these are very good. There have been in times back conditions in the throat and larynx that were not satisfactory. These are better. The condition in the 2nd and 3rd dorsal both, eventually, with the depression that this would bring, affect the secondary cardiac plexus, and produce disturbance in the pulmonaries. At present though these are very good.
9. Digestion better than it has been and functions fairly normal. Heart's action normal. No organic condition in these portions. The disturbance then being in the Peyer's glands region, that is, the Peyer's Patches in the small intestinal tract. With these being and giving the supply of the system to carry on intestinal digestion, these not functioning normal allow poisons to be absorbed in system. Then with the condition in the plexus, as given, produce the disturbance in the body.
10. Liver not as active is the excretory functioning as should be, though above ordinarily found with the present conditions. The kidneys, with the hypogastric condition
4870-1 Page 3
from the Peyer's Patches show an excess of activity at times, though no sediment would be found from the condition at present. There are times when there would be.
11. To bring the body then to the normal condition, and to remove these causes, would be to give that in the system that would act in the manner as to remove the condition in intestinal tract, and through osteopathic and chiropractic forces adjust that condition in the 2nd and 3rd dorsal, and to assist in manipulating the lower portion; that is, the lumbar, increase the stimulation of the excretory system through hypogastric centers.
12. Taking in the body this: To one gallon of rain water, add: Sarsaparilla Root..............2 ounces, Wild Cherry Bark...............2 ounces, Yellow Dock Root...............2 ounces, Burdock Root...................2 ounces, Calisaya Bark..................2 ounces, Elder Flower...................4 ounces. Reduce by simmering (not boiling) to one quart. Strain while warm and add four ounces of grain alcohol (pure). Cut in this three drams Balsam of Tolu. The dose would be two teaspoonsful twice each day, taken before meals of morning and on retiring at night.
13. Let the diet be not of meats, save of fish or fowl, but rather green vegetable matter.
14. Have the corrections made in the dorsal and lumbar regions and take these properties. Only necessary that six to eight of the adjustments, if properly done, be made.
15. Do that. We will bring the body back to the normal conditions.
