TEXT

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body. You will answer the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [263]; this we have had before.
3. As we find, there are changes in the general physical forces of the body since last we had same here. Not all of these are for betterments.
4. These are the conditions, then, as we find at the present time:
5. There is little resistance being stored in the body. There is a lack of the storing of Vitamins A and D. These we would take in the One-A-Day brand of vitamin tablets; and take only one a day.
6. There is a lack of the Vitamin B-1. Continue to take these, but be sure the others are taken also.
7. Conditions in the nerve forces are the seat or the cause of the headaches, the upsetting of the stomach, the weaknesses, AND the general tendencies for the "all overness" of the depression as the body experiences at times. This is a result of the body through the glandular system attempting to adjust itself to those conditions brought about by changes in the general activity of eliminations AND of conditions through the body.
8. Hence these come as periodical reactions. And when they do, they produce pressures upon not only the cerebrospinal system as a physical reaction but more specifically upon the secondary or sympathetic nerve forces. Thus that form of headache, that varies at times, where there is through the jaws, temples and head almost a throbbing; at others a feeling of stiffness in back of neck and head and through the central portion of the head, as it were, with blurring of eyes; causing even the optic itself to become involved, as the eyeball becomes sore, with the redness, or the white portion of same even becoming tinted or yellow or pink, or both.
9. These, then, are the effects of the lack in the system, and are indications of the character of disturbance; or the weakness, lack of vitality, which is to be aided by the addition of the vitamins in the body.
10. And have every other day, at least, a deep, thorough massage along the spine with Peanut Oil; then at times - at least about once a week - with an equal combination of Peanut Oil and Oil of Pine Needles. But every other day, in the evening, have a thorough massage with the Peanut Oil.
11. Also prepare the Wet Cell Appliance, but for this body use in a little different proportions for the charging of same. Have prepared so as to use both Gold AND Camphor, alternated; and have different plates for the Gold and Camphor solutions, see? Each of these would be used for thirty minutes, every other day, and have a regular hour of the day to use same.
12. One day, when using the Gold (in the proportions of one grain to each ounce of Distilled Water), the copper plate would be attached to the 9th dorsal center; while the nickel plate, through which the Gold passes vibratorially, would be attached to the umbilical and lacteal duct plexus - which would be three fingers from the naval center to the right, and two fingers up from that point, see?
13. The next day, when using the Camphor (which would be the usual strength of Spirits of Camphor), attach the copper plate to the 2nd dorsal center, or the brachial center. The nickel plate, through which the Camphor passes vibratorially, would be attached to the cardiac plexus of the stomach - which would be at the point just between the ribs, below the center plate or sternum, see? This is to regulate the activity of the foods as should be taken.
14. Continue alternating the attachments in this manner, but have separate plates for the solutions, and make the attachments at a regular time each day.
15. Then the diet and the activities of the body:
16. Keep a well balanced diet.
17. Have fruits or cereals for breakfast, with the yolk of an egg at times, and hot cakes or toast; either corn meal, buckwheat or rice cakes, which may be taken either with honey or white Karo - that supplies sufficient energies to cause especially the Vitamins A and D to be better assimilated.
18. Noons, - preferably soups or vegetable juices, cooked. Not too much of raw foods for the body, but once or twice or three times a week have celery. Chew this along, and be sure to swallow all the juices from same. Lettuce also if this is desirable, but DO have the celery - the green is preferable even to the hearts, but the root is preferable to all the rest of same. This may be taken with soups, meat or vegetables, or both, with cracker or toast.
19. Evenings - meats or vegetables, and have at least three vegetables above the ground to one that grows beneath the ground. But include beets, beans, rutabagas, turnips - tops as well as the roots. These should be not every day, but a part of the meal at least several times a week. The meats should be fish, lamb and ham. This the body gradually will assimilate, but let this be not only thoroughly cured but THOROUGHLY cooked - baked OR fried.
20. The exercises, - be WITH people, and do something for them! Entertain them, if nothing else. Entertain children, - go out of the way to! Entertain young people. Be kind to old people.
21. Do these, if the body would bring the better conditions.
22. There will be at times the return in greater or lesser degrees of the headaches. When this occurs, keep quiet, cover the eyes with COLD cloths, and bathe the temple with [GD's note: An equal combination of?] Camphor AND Tincture OR Oil of Lobelia. These will aid in lessening the pain. And have the back massaged, across the sacral and lumbar areas.
23. Ready for questions.
24. (Q) Until my body has gained strength what can I do or take instead of sedatives to help me to bear the headaches I have?
    (A) Just read what we have been giving!
25. (Q) Do I need glasses?
    (A) These would be better, but let's get the system responding before we attempt to have same fitted.
26. (Q) What is the cause and cure for the mucous that forms in my throat?
    (A) This arises from the congestion through LACK of nerve supply from the general body. This will be aided by the use of Camphor, in the manner indicated. When this occurs, gargle - and even swallow - a bit of Glyco-Thymoline. Gargle and rinse the mouth with this full strength, and if some is swallowed it is all the better.
27. (Q) The closing of the nasal passage like I am smothering?
    (A) All of this comes from the same nervous reaction, and the treatment for same is included in the things suggested - if these will be done systematically, consistently, persistently.
    Do these.
28. (Q) How many Vitamin B-1 tablets a day should I take?
    (A) ONE, if there is the use of the foods as we have indicated. This is only supplementary. For, the foods as indicated carry at least a fifth of the quantity needed each day. This vitamin is NOT stored, see?
29. We are through for the present.
