Polarity - Reaction

GENERAL

eliminated. When the muscle cells contract upon millions of these sharp, crystalline, needle-like particles, naturally a spasm is the result, which is a severe and sharp, stabbing pain - with limitation of motion due to contraction, spasms, hardness and tension that cannot let go. The muscle tissue is very sore and stands out. Later it becomes ropy, if it is not drained of waste AND REPOLARIZED WITH ITS CIRCUIT OF FUNCTION.

A case like this needs heat on the surface, dilation and stimulation. It is stuck. It requires the help of the opposite element, the positive pole, which it cannot reach to flow into, because of the excess surface tension and the interference to complete contraction. The normal cycle or wave impulse is stopped in its path, which causes the pain and spasm, because of the waste insulation, or the insulation of waste matter and energy.

Rest and elimination are the general indications, plus the above mentioned factors and the mechanical release of spastic muscles; also correction, relaxation of the Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Systems by means of PERINEAL TECHNIQUE[1] to promote a POLARITY BALANCE with the Cerebrospinal System and the Circulation. This has produced wonderful and quick results in my experience and practice.

The ancients knew of a quick way to treat this minus factor; namely, by applying leeches to the whole lumbar region and thus drawing off the bad, stagnant blood. It worked immediately, by allowing the fresh blood and 'Prana' to be brought to the parts.

The Baumscheidt [Baunscheidt] needle treatment[2], in conjunction with the application of a strong counter-irritant, worked very well on bad toxic cases, to draw out the waste, as pustules or pimples, and to cause a POLARITY REACTION by means of counter-irritation.

Father Kneipp[3] used this principle by having all patients walk barefooted in the grass, wet with the morning dew, to ground the excess waste energies and to benefit from the earth's radiation in the early morning.

The suction cups work well on these minus type conditions, by drawing the stale blood from the deep muscle tissues, where the blockade is, to the surface, where it can be carried off. The heavier the congestion is, the more the application hurts, and the surface under the cup raises and appears black, blue and purple, if the cups are applied vigorously. All these are signs
