TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes.
3. Now as we find, general conditions about the body rather show a great deal of anxiety, and the inclination or tendency towards resignation towards conditions that have at times proven to be very disturbing.
4. We find that the use of the Sulfanilamide has been and is a helpful experience for the body, but it has tended to make for segregations in the system - as to cause conditions that have existed in the pelvis, as related to the womb and the organs as related to same, to bring the increasing in those disturbances there.
5. Hence we find that a more healthy condition would be brought by the use of operative measures for the body. This would require, of course, that there be precautions as to the preparation of the body, by the building up of blood plasm. This should be accomplished in two, three, four to five days, - if the attitudes of the body are in that way not so much of complete resignation to conditions but with a desire and a purposefulness for its physical and living activity in the present.
6. The right ovary will need attention, of course, when there is the removal of the growth; and this need not necessarily be just an experimentation nor other than extreme measures for healthful forces in the body.
7. We would give, then, that the preparation be made for the operative measures, - by the general precautions and the building up of resistances.
8. Also we would give that the general attitude of the body be such as to know that this is something which now is necessary, and will relieve and bring bettered conditions for the body.
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) Is there a fibroid tumor on the womb?
    (A) As just indicated, this is the result of a segregation in the system and is necessary that such be removed. It is not of a nature that is malignant.
11. (Q) Is there a tumor on left ovary and tube?
    (A) We find there's more trouble with the right than with the left. This will be found by exploration, though, as the other conditions are taken care of.
    More precautions to the right.
12. (Q) When would you advise operation?
    (A) As just indicated, - when preparations are made and it is found that there the proper coagulative forces and the ability for resistances, and the constructive attitudes of the body itself.
13. (Q) Are exercises helpful?
    (A) Not in the present conditions should there be too great an amount of exercise; though some is necessary, of course, even in the preparations. But precautions should be taken that there be not too much of exercises other than of the specific nature to prevent the formation of scar tissue as would become disturbing later in the physical activities of the body.
    Do this as we find, for bringing the better conditions for this body of [313].
14. We are through with this Reading.
