(Q) In reference the showing of blood - for six months have
not seen it. Since I took Castoria and agar agar it has
shown up three times in the last three days. What is the
condition that now causes this showing and what should I do
to prevent it from reoccurring again?
(A) These might be answered in a word, and yet the body
should take all things considered and consider all things
that have been indicated and given the body respecting this.
First in the matter of diet, next in the matter of abstaining
from those things that cause a reaction of too much of the
production of alcohol by the addition of same in the system,
and then that as given for the corrective measures.
Agar was not given, never has been given the body; in fact,
it is not very good for the body! Other compounds somewhat
similar would be preferable. But all of these should be
taken into consideration.
All of that as was given should have been done! That is, it
was as necessary for the relaxing of the body through the
sweats and massage, so as to set up a coordination between
the elimination portions of the system, as to take the
eliminant and the laxative and cathartic!
Hence, the cause is a combination of these not being attended
to nor taking the precautions that have been indicated for
the body.
Then, to prevent same, comply with those conditions that have
been indicated from time to time; as, first, precautions in
the diet and the exercises, and when disturbances arise, the
adherence to those suggestions given and not adding nor
taking from!
An increased activity of properties that, while both are
laxatives, do not work the same with the system. These
should never be combined as laxatives. They each in their
proper place and with individual conditions are well.
Then, take the proper precautions as to diet, as to exercise,
as to eliminations.
Have the sweats and massage YET to attune the body to a
bettered condition.
In the consideration of the activities of the body during
the present season - as has been indicated in many ways,
activities close to or about the large bodies of water are
much preferable - for this particular body, and the
temperament - to highlands or mountains or the like.
Hence the exercise, and again we would stress the budgeting
of the time and the taking of time to play, time to
recuperate, as well as eating, sleeping, working, reading or
what not!
For as has been so oft given, if the body would find the
best, be able to do its best, be able to meet the emergencies
and conditions, it MUST be a CONSISTENT life and a PERSISTENT
life. PERSISTENCY is very well; but CONSISTENCY - O to the
body and to the mind - is indeed a jewel! For the body is
NOT always consistent! Study that. Know that as is
necessary in any well ordered business. There must be
consistent cooperation if the abilities of all involved would
work to their maximum strength. So with the body. It is
only a well organized system. Given the opportunity for all
factors to function, to coordinate properly, it will keep, it
will make, it will build for supply.
But inconsistency brings just as disturbing factors in the
activities of the body as it would in a business for some
minor executive to disregard policies and prices in an active
influence in an organized institution!
Consider that!
(Q) Please give an outline of the foods I should eat for
morning, noon and night.
(A) This has been gone over so often; it becomes almost
repellent!
This is known to the body, as has been more oft given, to
keep in line, in season with the foods, fruits, vegetables
grown in the surroundings and the environs of the body. That
should answer, if there is consistent thought or
consideration given, the whole condition for the body. But
as has been given, use consistency in all things!
Then, as the conditions, the feelings, the activities, the
environs, the surroundings are necessary to consider, keep
them in that way and manner.
(Q) Regarding the material affairs, how should [
257] proceed
with Pennsylvania factory since American not yet interested?
(A) Follow in those ways that have been outlined. Interest
either the associates in enabling the body to make such
connections as to carry on, or induce those that are in
charge to accept - if they are able to financially carry on.
(Q) How can Pennsylvania be financed?
(A) As has been given, by those interested or the
associations interested in the manufacture of same.
(Q) Should Government help be sought?
(A) It's not admissible under the conditions! It may be
sought if there is the ability to establish the group that
has been in charge or does have charge of the operations.
But this would be [
257]'s problem, only assisting them in
that direction if they seek same.
(Q) How can he finance Chichester?
(A) Again the same problems that have been given before.
It is necessary that there be first sufficient sum for the
carrying on in the way as indicated, and unless those are
willing to act in the ways as given, this does not bring
much possibility for proper consideration - by financiers.
(Q) Should Louis Francis be taken with organization as he
desires?
(A) This would depend upon many, many, many, many, many,
MANY, MANY, factors! We do not find it advisable to consider
same in the present.
In the environs and in the surroundings Francis is excellent,
but in Chichester it is a different proposition - and he is
quite old to learn new tricks!
(Q) Any further advice for the body at this time?
(A) Study those things already given. Be consistent in all
things.
We are through for the present.
