TEXT

EC: Yes, this body - [337] - we have had before. The conditions are improved in the system. Still, we have not had sufficient of the eliminations through the activity of the gall ducts. This should be eliminated again, and the system so cleansed as to carry more of the poisons from the system, or to produce BETTER coordination between the eliminating systems.
As has been seen, or as has been given, the coordination between eliminating systems are the conditions to be dealt with in relation to this body; for the tendencies of the system to absorb or to carry back into the circulation poisons that should be ELIMINATED, are the things that cause the greater disturbance - as is seen from conditions in the capillary circulation, in the lymphatic circulation, and the CHARACTER of eliminations as come through alimentary canal.
The liver, in its activity, does not throw off properly - nor does the whole system coordinate as respecting this.
Keep those stimulations, then, for those centers and for those organs through which the respiratory system, the liver, the kidneys, and the whole ORGANISM, functioning TOWARD eliminations. Ready for questions.
(Q) Is correct diet being given?
(A) This is very good, though we find poor assimilations at times from those properties as are taken. Better to ALTERNATE these conditions more often. Not live, or not have one CONTINUAL thing, but changing in the manner in which the various conditions and properties as are to be assimilated for the system - or assist in assimilation being carried out.
(Q) What caused blood in sputum?
(A) Taxation of the plexus as relating to the secondary cardiac, and the changing in the increase in circulation through the upper portion of body. The system attempting to adjust itself.
(Q) Should the colon be irrigated? If so, how often?
(A) Once - twice each week, this would be very beneficial to the body, so that poisons may be eliminated.
(Q) What causes cold and numbness from knees down?
(A) Poor circulation, and that pressure as exists in the lumbar and sacral, as is seen in the 4th lumbar plexus.
(Q) Why black spots before the eyes?
(A) The liver!
(Q) What is condition of uterus?
(A) This rather in the same state of condition as would be from the secretions, where the system attempting to adjust itself as respecting eliminations, and the ORGANS of the pelvis being one through which certain characters of elimination are carried on, the secretions produce irritation [vaginal pruritus?]. Only irritation, as we find, is produced there. Cleansing, or the douches would aid in REDUCING irritation. Alkalin would be the better.
(Q) What effect has fish, bacon and eggs on the body?
(A) Only the yolk of eggs should be taken. Fish is an aid, if not in grease. The effect of bacon is very good, if taken at proper period. Only of breakfast, and that very crisp - with no grease in same.
(Q) What is the small lump situated on the back near the surface of the skin?
(A) The effect of fatty substances in the body, wherein the system attempting to eliminate - causes such conditions to form in the portions of the system where eliminations are taking place - as is seen in here.
(Q) Should the body now have sand packs?
(A) Be very good for the body.
(Q) Could body be treated at home?
(A) If it so desires, be treated WHEREVER - but would it get the treatments as is applied? No!
(Q) Would ocean baths be beneficial?
(A) Be beneficial. This will produce irritation following same, but will be beneficial - if you don't scratch too much!
That is all the questions regarding this body.
Do these, and we will find the improvements will come better!
