TEXT

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly and tell me the conditions you find at the present time. You will diagnose the case thoroughly, giving the cause of the existing conditions, also the treatment for the cure and relieve of this body.
2. EC: There are many and various changes in the physical forces, as pertain to the normal functioning of same, since last we had this here. While the body is very good in many respects, we find there are those conditions of which the body should be wary of, to bring the normal forces and to keep the perfect normal functioning of the organism of the physical functionings of the body. These, we find, have most to do with the eliminations as are performed through the physical conditions of the body, and are brought in the body (those that bring distressing effects at times) more from congestion in a form, or in a manner in which the full complete organism of system is becoming acclimated to the conditions for the body, and in the change in the environment, both mental and physical. Hence we find the greater distresses are brought to the sympathetic nerve system of the body, and we find that the digestive system becomes involved in same and that the eliminations, especially as those have to do with the used forces of the systems, returning in increased number to the physical organism, producing then a form of toxins in system that brings distresses to the body at times, in a form of acute pain to the organs of sensory system and to the brain centers proper that dilate, affect or produce the sensory functioning from same, as is seen in that, especially, as is controlled by the ductless glands of the system, for the sympathetic and sensory system are much under the control of these portions of body, as is seen in upper portion of body in thyroids, as is seen in lower portion of body and its effect on the circulation and eliminations through that of the appendix and the lacteal ducts. Then, the effect direct as created is to the head and eyes. This, as we see, takes rather the form of becoming irritating to the sensory system, or the body finds itself easily aggravated, tormented, teased, as it were, when it desires to be opposite. The body feels depressed, weakened, headaches, when it desires to be most active. A reflection then, as a warning to the physical forces of the body.
3. Then, to bring the more normal, and to bring that condition that will relieve this, we would take those properties that will cleanse thoroughly the whole alimentary canal. Not in the form of purgatives of an acid nature. Rather those as of the lacteal, or of the opposite nature - alkaline in its reaction in system. More may be found by using mineral oils, with the diet of the nature that produces the alkalines in system. No acids or of high volatile seasoned foods for several days, taking the oils. Better those of Usoline (?) than of other makes, for this carries less of the paraffin base.
4. Vegetables of the nature that grow above ground. These will add much. Spinach, beans, lentils, peas, and such foods. Rather the coarser foods in the nature of cereals. Bran or bran mash, with corn flakes, or puffed wheat, rice or corn.
5. With exercises in the open. Especially, let the body have at least hour to two hours ALONE in a walk in the open each day, with the mental forces as directed to the building physically through psychological and psychology study as the entity entertains at present of recuperating self.
6. Not necessary that medicinal properties, or that any excess of other properties be added to the system, in aid to the eyes in glasses or of that nature, were these followed out for two to three weeks, for we will bring the normal forces through these to the body, and the best builder for system is through self, physically and mentally.
7. The oil would be taken - begun first teaspoonful night and morning. Increase after second or third day to two teaspoonsful. Increase after two days more to tablespoonful. Keep this for the three days, eliminating the system, cleansing same, but do not, while this is being taken, take acids or high seasoned foods. Rather the rough. For breakfast fruits may be taken. Not too much of any fruit, but rather a change, alternating - peaches, pears, apples, plums, grapes, all may be taken, not in excess. These with fruits or with cereals, and we will find we will bring the normal forces for this body, [136].
8. (Q) What is the cause of the headaches and what will relieve same?
   (A) As given, the pressure as produced in the sympathetic nerve system on the sensory forces of the body, by congestion from the improper eliminations, produced by change in climatic forces, surroundings in mental and physical forces for the body. As given. These, relieved in the manner given, will bring the normal forces for body, as also will the repression as is given to the throat, bronchials and larynx by the excess of secretions attempting to be produced by the ductless glands, or thyroids, in the change the conditions being affected in body.
9. We are through.
