TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [279] - this we have had before.
2. Now, we find the general physical conditions in body are very good. While there are some changes in the reactions in the system through the nerve forces of the body, this more of the reactory - or the effect of the reactory and refractory nerve forces of the body, than of disorder in the functioning organs, or in the organs themselves. There are those necessities that the whole of the intestinal system be kept cleansed, that there be no poisons arising in system from auto-intoxication, or from the creation of gases, or the like. It would be well that there be more weight, or more of that in system as will absorb those toxins from the walls of the intestines themselves; for with taxation, either that from the energy used by physical OR mental worry, creates those toxic forces, or leaves them within the system. The general force of the system is to eliminate in the COORDINATING way and manner. The natural tendency of the system, from nerve reaction, is to close most of the respiratory system. Hence either those of the kidneys or of the liver must be more active, that the drosses or toxic forces be eliminated through alimentary canal.
3. Then, we would take more of the Psyllium Seed as an absorbent for the system. Well that this be taken as has been outlined, for three to four days - then REST from it for three to four days, then begin again, so that the toxic forces are eliminated. Then dismiss from the mental forces that of any imaginative disorders in the system. See rather health, strength, vitality, the ABILITY to DO, dare to DO, those things that will KEEP the body physically fit!
4. In exercises, any that gives physical reactions to the system - for we will find, that WITH this manner of the use of the physical AND mental, we will have better coordination throughout.
5. Occasionally, well that those manipulations as outlined be kept for the body, through the shoulders, neck, head, through the torso of the body; yet [if] will the physical exercises [will] be taken these will not be found to be as often necessary as without them. Ready for questions.
6. (Q) What is the urinalysis today? Any albumin or any casts?
   (A) In today, we would find nearer a normal urinalysis than there has been for some days past. There are less casts. There is less albumin. The condition as comes from same is, as has been given, that when toxic forces - or, that is, an accumulation of the mucus in the system from the system attempting to throw off used energies, either those of mental or physical in this body-mental, they produce naturally in the channels throughout the eliminating system - either from the pulsation, which would revert to heart's palpitation, or as a heaviness in the direction, or through the area of the lacteals - those pressures as of heaviness in the right area, or in the hepatic circulation being high produce this in the intestines. The natural result is that there becomes excesses of eliminations, of poisons, through the kidneys. Hence the urinalysis at such a period would show near correct in specific gravity, but traces of those elements as go to show for an excess of an elimination. No disorder in this direction. Rather would there be that the mental attitude, and the intestinal system, be kept in a normal manner. Do not over NURSE the feelings of depression, either mental or physical, for that nourished, or nursed, will certainly grow - whether it's good or bad!
7. (Q) How often would Psyllium Seed be taken?
   (A) As given, we would use it for three to four days, then skip a like period. The activity is as this: That the diet is rather that that keeps a normal balance (for the body has become a very good dietician - don't overdo THIS either!), but the tendency for too MUCH heaviness would produce, then, too much of the lacto-acids in the intestines, and bring a form of diarrhea, which is as bad - or worse, if allowed to remain - than would be for just mucus accumulations, [if they are] are they removed - see?
8. (Q) Why have the last few colonic irrigations been so painful?
   (A) One reason, they haven't been done very well! Another, there hasn't been the proper precautions for the use of those things that PREVENT irritation in the intestine! It would be well that the Glyco-Thymoline, or more of soda or salt - weak solution - be used, that act as an antiseptic for the body; for while it is well to keep an irritated place CLEAN, too much irritation brings too much accumulation of the muco-membranes' activity that produces irritation or soreness.
9. (Q) Is there any definite solution to be used?
   (A) This, as we find, would be an excellent one - and few may be better - very few would be better: In at least the second water as is used, have - to a gallon - at least two ounces of Glyco-Thymoline. In the last quart to two quarts, put about two tablespoonsful of Agar and oil, or those as are SOOTHING to the intestinal tract - see?
10. (Q) How often should the colonics be taken?
    (A) With the taking of Psyllium Seed, once a month should be sufficient - unless there is a heaviness in the lower bowel.
11. That is all the questions.
12. We are through with this reading.
