1. EC: We have the body here, Mrs. [5446]. Now, we find there are abnormal conditions in the physical forces of this body. These conditions in the present, and that as is the cause of same, have their rising of conditions from the same source; yet that as has PRODUCED the present status of conditions has arisen from applications made FOR the body, rather than from the first cause; yet both arise in the greater part from the hindered eliminations and an unbalancing in the metabolism of the body.
2. These, then, are conditions as we find them with this body, Mrs. [5446] we are speaking of:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find abnormal in its pressure, and naturally abnormal in its elements or reactory elements, produced most by the abnormalities in the organs as have to do with the eliminations of the body; these being increased in their functioning, without creating a balance in that assimilated for a balancing in the constituents of the blood supply, produces that engorgement in the liver, in spleen, and the same in the capsule about the kidneys. Hence the heart's action is SLOWED, and the pressure in blood supply increased. While the liver, in some respects, is active - there are lobes in same that secrete properties for the system that are NOT functioning normally. This from a serum as was GIVEN the body for the hardening of tissue in joints and in the extremities of the body. A form of rheumatic serum hard on the heart's activity, but the condition is NOT other than functional in its nature at present.
4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEMS, here we find the basis, or that from which the disturbance first came into the system, producing the disorders as have existed, and present conditions resulting from the first disturbance, and those vibratory forces applied to the body for correction. These pressures, as we find, exist in the last of the dorsal and in the lumbar region, and are of the circulatory or circular nature.
5446-1 Page 2
Resultant or sympathetic lesions exist in the secondary cardiac centers, as well as in the central nerve plexus, from 5th to 3rd cervical centers; these being rather lateral than circulatory in their nature. In their activities, this produced, as we find, from congestion as resulted from a condition produced soon after menopause resulted in system, and brought about an activity in the organs of same that were unusual, and the system being in a condition where toxic forces were present - the result was contraction in the muscular forces and tendons in extremities; for the TENDENCY was from the PRESSURE produced to prevent an equalized capillary circulation, and the blood and drainages not be clarified produced those excesses of the coagulative forces in extremities. With the increasing of circulation without removal of the causes, merely transferred those of a functional disturbance of the physical or torso of body.
5. In the ORGANS, then, the liver is engorged - as is the spleen, with an acidity in body and in the digestive system, with an increase of the amount of lymph in throat, bronchi and soft tissue of face, irritations at times to the capillary circulation - in spots, and hot and cold centers indicated in the extremities. Feet be cold and hands warm, or vice versa - with headaches of an indeterminate nature, with nausea, and little or no digestion - and the appetite failing, and at other times above normal. Sugars and meats becoming irritating to the digestive organs. These are effects and conditions, as we find, with this body, [5446].
6. In MEETING the needs of the conditions, we will find that THESE would bring about a near normal condition - will they be applied in a CONSISTENT and PERSISTENT manner, but to apply only a portion - or to apply all in an indeterminate manner, or for a few days and then disregard the whole formulas, then again taking portions and breaking over at others, will not aid very materially - except for small periods at a time. Best that these, as WE find, be adhered to, or else expect either accumulative forces in organs or such a pressure in blood supply as to produce clots that might form ANY character of disorder in the cerebrospinal or nervous system, or paresis in body.
7. In meeting the needs, then, we would rest - where these may be applied in a specific way and manner:
8. A stimuli in the capillary circulation through a nature that will set up a coordination in the lymph and capillary circulation, with the dross removing portions of the system internally. These, as we find, may be had through the application of salts packs, or sitz salts baths, or of both - or tub salts baths with a thorough rubdown following same.
5446-1 Page 3
9. Either following same - or in the FIRST would be better - or the next day, the body would be relaxed with wet heat - wet packs - in the lumbar, lower dorsal, and upper cervical region - and have manipulative measures that will set up drainages in the system, and that will make for CORRECTIVE measures gradually in those lesions existent in the cerebrospinal centers and their concurrent sympathetic system centers in and near the same portion of body.
10. Also, we will find that a SMALL amount (not too much, for too much will be harmful) of the ultra violet ray for the exterior or the lymph circulation will allow more oxygen to be carried into the main portions of the body itself; with an alternated amount of the infra red, as will stimulate bone and marrow circulation for a blood supply.
11. CLEANSING the colon with colonic irrigations will MATERIALLY reduce that blood pressure; following same occasionally - that is, at periods - with Pluto or such. Pluto water or honeyida water taken in small doses each morning for four to five days, then REST for such a period.
12. Let the diets be of those natures as are replenishing to the system without increasing the blood's quantity too much.
13. The drainages will also be aided by those manipulative forces, with the heat and rays from electrical forces. Watch the pulse closely while the baths are being given, of whatever nature, and we will find the proper conditions coming to this body - [5446]. Ready for questions.
14. (Q) What caused an attack of arthritis which I had two years ago? (A) This has been given.
15. (Q) What caused the recent rise in blood pressure? (A) As has been outlined. Also causes those pains across the small of back, below the diaphragm at times. Do as we have outlined and we will bring the better conditions for this body. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n office " " Research Department " " Cayce Hospital
