TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have those conditions-physical that have disturbed and that do disturb the body, [257]. Many of these the body has been warned concerning.
2. And if there would be taken those precautions, with sufficient of the necessary adjustments and treatments to correct the conditions, being mindful of the diet, we should have little or no trouble in making for a near normal balance.
3. From the strains in the system and the character of the diet there is some bloody mucous shown, but this should not be disturbing unless it becomes a chronic condition - or of such a nature. For it is the system's ELIMINATING. But unless precautions are taken, or that done in the way of the exercises, of the sweats, of the colonic irrigations, to REMOVE the troubles - these MAY become a chronic or a constitutional condition. [See 257-220.]
4. But if the body will DO what has been indicated, and keep down the acidity in the system by the manner of the diet, then we will find those conditions also in throat and head - that at these periods usually give disturbance to the body - WILL be eliminated!
5. Then do those! We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

1. 1/01/35 He obtained Business Rdg. 257-143.
2. 1/06/35 He submitted questions for a Ck. Physical Rdg.: "The first open time you have, I wish you would try and see what is the matter with me physically, so I can avoid another lay-up if possible. My throat - and passing blood especially (from rectum), the later at times only. There must be a reason. Any form of piles? Is this an organic condition? What will stop it? What is the condition of the intestinal tract? Why is it that no pain comes from the condition or otherwise disturbing condition except the appearance? Do any special foods ever cause this condition?
   "What causes occasional pains near the heart? Tightening across the back just below the neck? Any exercise that would relieve this condition generally? Should I visit Reilly's regularly for general body condition? If so, what should be the prescribed plan of treatment? How often should I take colonic irrigations? Any regular medicine to be taken monthly, or just when needed? Has resting of the body, as has been during the past few months, been of assistance? Can I take an out door exercise of any kind that would be helpful?
   "What causes discharge form the throat daily? What will relieve this? What are the conditions of the tonsils? Can they be assisted, or must they come out?
   "What meats can I now eat? What vegetables are best? Are tomatoes good for me? Is an oyster good for me? What form?
   "Is the treatment 'PROKAR' good for the hair? Is it possible for me to grow new hair where I have been losing it? If so, how?
   "Why the pain in the arch of the left foot at times?
   "What was the warning in reference to, specifically, as given some time back, that I must do to extend the life span?" [See 257-140, Par. 3.]
