EC: Yes, we have the body here. The body has not been feeling so good for the last day or so. Now we find there are some abnormal conditions in this body, and they have to do with the functioning of organs and of the gland functioning through circulation and nerve tension as brought to bear on these functional conditions from time to time.
-
Now, these are conditions as we find in this body, Mrs. [4404], …, Fla.
-
First, in the blood supply, we find as a whole the condition of the circulation is very good. There are at the present time some specific conditions produced that the body may or may not eliminate from the system through natural means depending upon the action of the physical and mental with the elemental forces in the system.
-
In the nerve forces we find the body through some of the functional conditions in the trunk portion of body where distress is brought to bear on organs in their functioning, and they affect the nerve system sympathetically, as we have in the system where a body is as amenable to suggestion as this body, one then that would be termed over sympathetic - see? then as here with the nerve condition sympathetically in the excretory functioning of the liver as produced by the effect of the gastric forces on digestion, the excretory and secretive ducts of the liver proper become over sympathetic and secretive in their functioning. This then we see with this over amount of secretion allows much of the elements that should be eliminated in circulation to be carried back into the circulation and attempt through natural means to be eliminated from the system through the capillaries. Hence, the condition over the body of hot and cold flushes, as it were, at times. The same through the sympathetic condition with the improper functioning of gland forces that furnish secretions for the dross to be eliminated then make over-secretions in the ductless glands of the intestinal tract. This, then, forms the incentive for improper action of the colon in its functioning of the nerve and muscular forces to expel the dross from the system. This then produces irritation rather than inflammation about the head of the ascending colon or in the region of the appendix. The change in the functioning of the ducts and glands in the liver and about the excretory or secretive ducts, within the organ itself, produces counter-irritation. This is the trouble as through this body, more from the over acid state in the duodenum than from organic forces in the organs, ducts and glands as mentioned, but producing the taxation to the functioning of these organs and ducts to the action of the cerebro-spinal forces has its effect over the system.
-
In the functioning of the organs themselves we find the body very good in most of these. The lungs good. Digestive forces affected as we have given, and acid stomach or gastric effects in times back that has brought about these conditions. Heart forces normal, except of the strain as produced by nerve conditions. The liver as we have given. The pancreas over taxed in amount of secretion where it attempts to turn the gastric forces or to produce sufficient sugar in the system to act with the fermented condition of the food taken for nutriment to this body. The hepatic circulation and kidneys often over stimulated, though not abnormally so at present, but must be above normal in action to bring about the correct equilibrium for the body. In that we would give the relief we would keep the suggestions for the body at present, but to give the correct incentive at the present time we would prepare this, and take it in this form and manner.
-
The leaf of the rag weed, or of what is known at the ambrosia weed. Six ounces of the weed, green preferable, placed in 12 ounces of water, rain water. Reduce by simmering, not boiling, to 8 ounces. Strain and while warm add 4 ounces of grain alcohol with 2 drams of balm of Gilead.
-
The dose would be teaspoonful four times each day until the whole quantity is taken, and keep as we have given the suggestions for the body.
-
Do that.
-
(Q) Are there any affections of the gall bladder? (A) We have given this. Follow as we have given if we would bring the correct results for the body.
