Time of Reading ..., Street, 3:30 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. Virginia Beach, Va. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [5503], present in this room.
2. Now, we find there are disturbing factors in the physical conditions of the body. The causes are somewhat of a specific nature, while the effects as are produced from these differ under different conditions - from the very nature of the disturbance.
3. These, then, have to do with the characterization in assimilation, characterization of the blood supply and of the impulses in the nervous system.
4. These, then, are conditions as we find them with this body, [5503] we are speaking of, present in this room:
5. THE BLOOD SUPPLY we find below normal in its content, also in factors as respecting the white and red blood supply; tendency - on account of effluvia in the lymph circulation, produced by an abnormal pressure - toward a catarrhal condition, both as to mucous membranes of head and throat, as well as in the digestive system proper. These show or make for changes in assimilation, and the effects as bring about the changes in the blood count, blood pressure, and in effect will affect the structural portions from which blood SOURCES receive much of its active forces.
6. IN NERVE SYSTEM we find some causes, some effects. In those centers there are indications of pressures produced by lesions of DIFFERENT natures; in the lumbar of a lateral, while in the upper dorsal and lower cervicals we find those more or less of a circular nature. This prevents that proper impulse to the secondary cardiac forces as relate to digestion in the cardiac portion of stomach proper, as does that to the blood supply or circulation through the upper PORTION of body - from the cervical and upper dorsal - to the face. Hence those indications of disturbance both to the circulation and to the lymph supply make for that RESULTANT condition through the character of infectious forces as - from not a properly supplied tissue in nose,
5503-1 Page 2
throat - show for a form of catarrhal forces; these affecting directly that as is seen from the digestive forces, and with improper activity in the gastric forces make for that depletion in blood, as well as an effect of intestinal disturbance as comes from super-acidity, and as comes from those forms of disorder through catarrhal effects in the digestive organ itself. These, as seen, are both functional in their order, but their source of activity coming from conditions existent in the cerebrospinal nervous system - as in 2nd lumbar, lateral - in 5th and 6th dorsal, more or less of a circular nature; the 3rd and 4th cervical the same characterization, though more decided in its position, and tenseness - especially at times when, with an overtaxed condition mentally, the resultant conditions of direct causes to head, the cervical forces producing that in the sensory organism as to make for some irritation for eyes, for ears, for throat, for the conditions as come from sympathetic reflexes there.
7. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES:
8. Brain forces are good; discernments and activities, impulses and reflexes, nominal in their reactions in body.
9. As indicated, organs of the sympathetic system show rather that of sympathetic reflexes, while as of those in nasal - head or throat at times show direct conditions as result from improper pressure and from those conditions resultant from a catarrhal effect; drying at times, at others effluvia more active.
10. Bronchi and lungs, these - naturally, from a depressed blood supply and tendency of the increase in number of white and low in red blood - make for not a disorder as of an organic nature, unless infection appears, but not a full, deep breath may be taken, save at times when the body is in a condition or position where more oxygen is capable of being taken than nominally.
11. Digestive system shows the effect of the disorders in those of the dorsal, and of a reaction from gastric forces which produce the disorder through assimilations. This becoming, then, rather that of a circular or collaborative force - effects and causes so combined that often effects may be treated without regard to cause, or causes may be producing an effect as would be in opposition to the real condition of body.
12. Liver, spleen, pancreas - these at TIMES show a near normalcy, considering conditions; not normalcy from the standpoint of a normal body. In these INDIVIDUAL forces, these are subject to the acidity - as is seen in those especially of the duodenum and the gall bladder's effect
5503-1 Page 3
upon the system proper.
13. These, then, are conditions to be met.
14. In the active forces in hepatic circulation, as related to liver and kidneys - the acidity calls for the warnings as against conditions being disturbing in nature, through especially the lower hepatics - or to PREVENT, most of all, those toxic forces as would be effective to the kidneys in their functioning.
15. Not that all these disorders are as of acute, but these are tendencies and conditions to be met.
16. In meeting, then, the needs of the conditions as we would find them for the body [5503] we are speaking of, taking into consideration those conditions existent, the effects as produced, and the causes:
17. The relief of the pressures in the cerebrospinal system, without the proper consideration of the digestive forces of the body and effects as would be created by the release of same, would not tend to bring PERMANENT conditions for relief; but taken in collaboration one with another in the corrections will bring a NORMALCY as would make for bettered conditions THROUGHOUT the body.
18. Then, we would create for the system that of more of an alkalin reaction in digestive forces. At the same period we would correct those conditions in the lumbar, dorsal and cervical region, so that their impulse through the nerve forces of the body carry the NORMAL flow; and the eliminations increased in the alimentary canal, through the addition of the alkalins for the system - as in diet, as well as in those of alkalin reactions; and STIMULATE the STRUCTURAL portions so that the assimilations will create more of the red blood supply. This we would find through the adding of those forces as will be found in the Infra Red light on bone portions themselves, especially clarifying through lung area - for the ribs - clarifying the clavicle area, for those of the lumbar regions, as well as through that of the sternum proper, or in the breast, for the addition to the heart's action and the cardiac reflexes. These, we would find, should be taken not oftener than twice each week. These should be taken for at least twenty to thirty minutes at each treatment.
19. The manipulations and adjustments we would make for at least three times each week.
20. In the alkalin reactions we would take, as for these conditions, an alternated or a changed reaction - which will be found to be most effective: Those first we would take - Milk of Magnesia, a tablespoonful at a dose, one day. In the next we would take the Milk of Bismuth. In the next we
5503-1 Page 4
would have those of small quantities of such an antiseptic as is of an alkalin reaction, taken internally, as of Glyco-Thymoline, Lavoris, or such natures. These, adding to the pepsin content of the gastric forces, will tend to make for a clarification, with the addition of the other properties.
21. In the activity of food forces, we would have as this:
22. In the mornings, those of either the whole or portion of the grain, or the juices of the fruits - as orange, lemons, grapefruit, or such - or the citrus fruits, with little of those of the cereals.
23. In the noon we would have those principally of the green vegetables that are alkalin reacting.
24. In the evening, those of the juices of meats, wild game, little of the shell fish - but as much carrying the iodine content as may be assimilated by system.
25. KEEP the COLON cleansed. This may be found necessary, with the addition of those properties given, to be irrigated. This should be kept cleansed to prevent any form of prolapsus in same.
26. Ready for questions.
27. (Q) What is the cause of the sleeplessness to which I have been subject since early adolescence, and how can it be overcome? (A) By the correction of those conditions that have tended to make for the irritation, as bring about those influences in system as has been outlined. These make for an irritation that makes the imaginative forces or sympathetic nerve system active, when there should be the resting of same, through the pressures existent in the 6th and 5th dorsal area, and in the 3rd, 4th and 5th cervical area - to say nothing of those pressures in the lumbar. These in the upper bring that disturbance.
28. (Q) What causes a dull pain in the back of my neck, at the base of the brain, which has troubled me occasionally for several years? What will remove it? (A) Remove that pressure existent there! 3rd and 4th cervical!
29. (Q) What can be done to overcome a dropped stomach condition to which I am subject? (A) This has been given, as respecting where those lesions have prevented the activity of the system in its proper order. These will be those treatments as has been outlined in the correction of the conditions, because there will be much doubling up of the body - for these must be LOOSENED, as it were - then held in place as the activity commences, and so that there is the proper action of the gastric forces throughout the intestinal system.

30. (Q) What is the cause of the nerve strain and irritation that I have experienced during the last month? (A) These have been described, in as to the irritation, especially as has affected those of the lymph, causing a form of catarrhal effect - which becomes acute at times, with irritation - especially of any nature when there is any sign of dust or effluvia from any condition as would be about, irritating the whole nervous system, creating more and more a discord between the sympathetic and cerebrospinal system.
31. (Q) Is this due to too much iodine in the air, vegetation and water? (A) No. There's more iodine NEEDED - but with the CORRECTION of the system, so that ASSIMILATION takes place more properly, this will be most beneficial. It's like adding healing properties to sores without first cleansing same. See? Do as we have given, and we will bring the near normal conditions for this body. Be persistent, but be CONSISTENT with the applications - also, don't expect the results in one treatment! for it's been many seasons coming on!
