TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [286]; this we have had before.
2. Many are the changes that have taken place in the general physical forces of the body since last we had same here. Some, as we find, are the natural developments and conditions as a whole, and are very good.
3. There are some conditions of which the body should be warned during such periods, and for the better general health of the body. These are especially respecting the eliminations of the body; and the keeping of coordinations in the eliminations as respecting the hepatic circulation, especially.
4. As we find, this may be done better by the mindfulness of the diet, and the changes in the activities of the body respecting keeping the general physical forces in accord with the conditions respecting the eliminations.
5. These will make for a better general development, and keep the accords of the system.
6. As related to the functionings of organs of hepatic circulation, even though it becomes necessary at times to take those activities to produce the excess of flow through the activity of the lower digestive system, this we would do; not as cathartics, or specific cathartics, but rather those properties in the diet that tend to make for better activity.
7. These will make for those changes that will prevent not only the clogging of the system from poisons, but will prevent those easy tendencies respecting congestion and cold, and those ringings in the head and the ear, and the general inactivity.
8. In meeting much of these, we will find we will make for and keep a better equilibrium throughout the general physical forces of the body.
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) What causes small blue spot on back?
    (A) Produced first by a bruise, and is the continuation of the tendency for blood to flow through same - in or under the stressed condition.
    This may be relieved by massaging same with Iodex, or a kindred application.
11. (Q) What climate is best suited to this body?
    (A) That which is somewhat of a dryer climate than the present surroundings; though, if the precautions are taken that have been suggested for the general conditions and activities of the physical body, such as to make for an equilibrium in the activity as related to the atmospheric pressures for the whole general system, these are very good.
12. That is all the questions regarding this body.
13. We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

REPORTS

1. 3/23/33 Mother's ltr.: "I was glad there was no serious complication and by right diet and exercise could be made right, but it seemed to me to be so indirect in a way, did not specify just what she should eat or what exercise or change should be made. The reason I had the reading, she had a sick spell about 2 wks. before I wrote you. She complained of pain in the right side, had some fever (102), head and back and limbs aching. I thought she had the flu. We called the Dr. He thought she had appendicitis and they took her to the hospital. Just as they were ready to operate she developed so much cold Dr. could not operate, for which I was very thankful, for I did not think an operation was necessary (however, I am not a doctor - ha! ha!). Well, they kept her in the hospital a week, let her come home, telling her as soon as she got over the cold she had better come back and have the operation before she had another spell. When she got home I had Miss Grapes come give her some tr. She found her nerves in bad shape and she thought her gallbladder more than the appendix affected, so to be sure an operation was or was not necessary I wrote you. I did not want to tell you anything about her condition, was so sure you would get the necessary information without questions, to prove to her husband she did not need the operation. He thought she did and should go on and have it done. That is why I say in a way it was a disappointment, it did not give as specific information as I should have liked, but feel from the rdg. an operation is not necessary or it would have said so. She is much better, is still taking tr. from Miss Grapes, but she doesn't look at all like her old self and I am worried."
2. 4/13/33 "Miss Grapes says the last rdg. [286-6] is exactly as she had diagnosed the case and if you read her again to ask these questions..."
3. 4/28/33 See 286-7.
