TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [348]; this we have had before.
2. We find general conditions are much improved in the present, and there needs be only the following of those outlines for the correction of the general system, that - as the eliminations are started, and the poisons are taken from the system - the general building of the system will be for not only replenishing but building up reserve energy and forces in the system.
3. We would carry on with those things that have been outlined.
4. Ready for questions.
5. (Q) Do you mean the Castor Oil packs?
   (A) The Castor Oil and the applications with the heat, and with the massage over those portions of the body.
6. (Q) What is the basic cause of this distress?
   (A) As would be called, uremic poisons.
7. (Q) Why has this body not responded to the treatments?
   (A) It HAS responded, in so far as the applications - with the general activities of the system - have been in accord with all the conditions!
8. (Q) May this body eat small quantities of honey now?
   (A) It may eat it at any time it wants to! It can take the consequences!
9. (Q) It wouldn't be well?
   (A) If it had, we would have given it!
10. (Q) Would sand packs be helpful?
    (A) Be very helpful.
11. (Q) Would Dr. Tripp's Tonic prescription be helpful in a case of this type?
    (A) Might be in a case of this type, but not in this particular case!
12. (Q) What form of exercise would be well?
    (A) As much walking as possible.
13. (Q) How often should the Castor Oil packs be given?
    (A) Until the eliminations are correctly established, and there is at least one or two full eliminations from the system each day.
    Well to take some inside, too, occasionally.
14. (Q) Also continue the Bismuth and Magnesia?
    (A) Bismuth and Magnesia; for the Bismuth is that which absorbs poisons and the Magnesia produces an alkalinity in the system.
15. (Q) Any other advice for the body at this time?
    (A) Well that the correct attitudes and the general mental forces be kept in accord with that which is constructive toward all relationships, that there may be kept a more even balance. For, to work in the mental attitudes as to produce poisons as fast as they may be eliminated, becomes detrimental - to be sure.
16. We are through with this reading.
