TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here - [470]. This we have had before. Now, we find the general physical forces greatly improved from that as we had here before. There needs be only that care taken of the body-physical in such a way and manner as to keep the physical forces in the way of the reaction taking place nominally in the system, bewaring of cold or congestion through drafts, or crowded places; and the gentle manipulation DEEPLY given, especially from the 4th dorsal to the base of brain, and occasionally - once a month - the application of the ultra-Violet Ray should be given head, neck and shoulders, until there is perfect coordination through the activity of the auditory system, or a perfect accord established between the auditory forces and that of the cerebro-spinal system, as affecting with that of the sympathetic nerve systems.
2. In the diet, still be mindful of those conditions that would tend to bring back any incentive for the pancreas to be overtaxed; that is, beware of too much sugars for the system. These may be taken occasionally, dependent upon the character of the fruit or delicacy they may be combined with; but of meats and sugars beware. The body should keep, then, near in the normal functioning of the system. Ready for questions.
3. (Q) Is pancreas functioning near normal?
   (A) As given.
4. (Q) Is there excess sugar in the blood?
   (A) Only bewaring of the condition as is presented in this as has been given. Not an excess at present.
5. (Q) Has he hemorrhoids that need attention?
   (A) Not an over activity, other than that as would be produced by strain.
6. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. See 470-7 on 2/07/29.
2. 2/19/29 On leaving Cayce Hospital he left these questions to be asked in reading scheduled for next day: "Is pancreas functioning near normal? Can you tell if there is excess sugar in the blood? Have I hemorrhoids that need attention?" [GD's note: He told me while in Va. Beach that he used to eat a whole box of chocolates at one sitting. While trying to get the tr. followed in his earlier rdgs. in B'ham, a doctor had told him he should have surgery for his hemorrhoids. He had never had any trouble from hemorrhoids but he was submitting the question to see if there really was any trouble there.]
