EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1120], present in this room.

Now, as we find, the general physical forces of the body in many ways appear to be well. And the reactions in most of same are good. Yet we find there are hindrances, disturbances and impulses the correction of which now would not only be a helpfulness to those conditions that disturb the body at times in a greater degree than is shown in the immediate, but would assist in preventing disturbances that would be of a much more violent nature to deal with—if allowed to become more and more a condition to be reckoned with by a perfectly normal functioning body.

These have to do, as we find, with impingements that exist in the nervous system, as will be seen by their effect upon the body as well as in the disturbances or nature of same as produced.

Then, these are the conditions as we find them with this body, [1120] we are speaking of:

First, in the blood supply, from the disturbed condition in the nervous system (that is, the cerebrospinal impulse), (more than the sympathetic) there are hindrances with the manners of assimilation. Thus there are those tendencies for a slowing of the circulation in its return from the extremities, or through the arteries into the veins.

Hence we have in the metabolism of the system an unbalancing, but with the corrections of that which has produced same in the first there would be a more helpful condition in creating a normal equilibrium.

In the nerve forces themselves of the body, we find: As has been indicated, here is the basis or the cause of the disturbances.

In some time back there was a hindrance in the ganglia of the 2nd and 3rd dorsal, that has produced there the tendency for a lack of proper incentive for its coordination with the vegetative or sympathetic nerve system as well as an excess of activity in the deeper nerves as from the junction there of the cerebrospinal and sympathetic with the organs of assimilation.

Let it be understood, then, by the body, the manner in which this disturbance arising there affects the system (for it will be disputed to the body):

Each segment connects with a centralized area between the sympathetic and the cerebrospinal systems, or in the spinal cord impulse itself. In specific centers there runs a connecting link between the segments. And such a one exists in this particular center as we have indicated.

In each of those areas called a ganglion there is a bursa, or a small portion of nerve tissue that acts as a regulator or a conductor, or as a director of impulses from the nerve forces to the organs of the body that are affected by this portion of the nervous system.

Not that any one organ, any one functioning of an organ, receives all its impulse from one ganglion or one center along the spine; but that these slowing up by a deficiency in the activity because of pressure produce—as
