TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [528]; this we have had before.
2. While there is still much to be desired in the general physical forces of the body, as we find conditions in the main continue to be on the improve.
3. There is still the necessity of keeping much of those things suggested for the building of the body for the resistances in the system against the cellular forces that tend to break down in the superficial circulation, and to cause much of the inflammation and the activities in the muscular forces of the body though, these, too, show improvements somewhat.
4. As we find then, some little changes we would suggest in the present - these others we would keep.
5. Keep the application of the low electrical vibrations for the body, carrying the elements into the system in the manner as has been indicated - through the Wet Cell Appliance. These we would reduce in periods; not more than twenty minutes, but use the one or the other each day.
6. And following the use of the Appliance, have a gentle massage with Olive Oil all over the body; especially in the areas from which the cerebrospinal and the sympathetic nervous systems receive the impulse in the circulation. That is, in the lumbar areas (and the sacral), the 9th dorsal area, in the upper brachial and across the shoulders, and especially in the vagus center in the neck and in the head. This with the Olive Oil, you see; all the body will absorb. But let the massage be more than just rubbing the Oil in; not to make the body sore, but gently given, see?
7. We would also keep the Ventriculin. These elements as we find are necessary for the activities for the body to make for the better assimilations.
8. Also we would take every other day one minim of Atomidine in half a glass of water, before the morning meal; just one minim.
9. Keep in the open and the exercises as much as possible.
10. Keep the greater amount of thought-expression in those directions as indicated, of the CONSTRUCTIVE forces as of not only living but living for a purpose! And as we find these will make for a continued improvement for the body.
11. In the diets, we would keep these much in the manner that has been given; changing only as to the seasons the fruit and vegetables that make for the greater quantity of the diet.
12. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) Must I keep on taking the Beef Juice?
    (A) This is very good if there is the necessity for the strength; though we may change this somewhat now to more of the fruits than of the beef juice.
14. (Q) Should I continue taking the Oil Packs every day, or will exercise take that hardness out?
    (A) It will be necessary, when there are those tendencies for the chills or the rigors, to use the Oil Packs then.
15. (Q) What caused rigors, and what should I do for them?
    (A) As has been indicated, the exercise, the rubs, the manipulations these should tend to prevent these from arising. For when these arise we have that breaking up or the incoordination between the superficial and the deeper circulation. This, that causes or produces same, arises from those infectious forces that have been indicated.
    We find that a little Yeast taken now would tend to make for better eliminations; though when necessary use the enemas as has been indicated. But the Yeast will tend to reduce those tendencies for the superficial circulation to make for marks or spots upon the face or body.
16. (Q) Can anything ever be done for the continued aching, or will I continue to have it?
    (A) This as we have indicated will be eliminated from the body with the establishing of the better coordination in the circulatory forces, and with the eliminations and activities.
17. (Q) I have a few acne bumps on my face, and what can I do about them?
    (A) As has been indicated, take the Yeast at the present.
18. (Q) There is typhoid fever here and I haven't had the shots for about six years. Would it be wise to take them?
    (A) It certainly would NOT, under the conditions! Take the precautions rather as to the water, as to the surroundings, and as to the activities!
19. (Q) I want to go back to work as soon as possible. Will you please tell me, if you can, when I can go and if I should work at the church [church organist and music teacher] and teach also.
    (A) Just as soon as the conditions are such; and the more the activities of the body are kept, the sooner will be the ability to return to those active forces in carrying on the experiences about the body.
    Work at the church and teach too. These are a part of self; not too much at the beginning, but these are a part of self and become a part of the routine. And the sooner these are begun, with the abilities of the body to help, the better it will be!
20. (Q) Any further advice for the body?
    (A) Keep the constructive forces in much of the prayer and meditation, and especially in the periods when the Appliance is used. Raise that vibration within self that there ARE within self the healing forces. For all healing of every nature comes only from the One Source, the Giver of all good and perfect gifts.
21. We are through with this Reading.

BACKGROUND

1. See 528-9 on 6/17/37 for Scleroderma and subsequent Reports.

REPORTS

1. 7/22/37 "You don't know how happy the last rdg. made me when you said to stay out of the oil packs. I was staying right with them but in the summer time they are not very funny. When I read that the aching will leave me and that I can go back to work and take up both the teaching and the choir, I did everything but shout. You see, my family is opposed to my taking both jobs again, but I wanted to so bad. I just love to do both and the reason they object is that I have flu every winter. Of course I don't want that but maybe you can get me in such good health that I won't have it. I want to go to work by Sept. if possible and I'm about to walk myself to death to get strong enough. I know that aching won't be gone by then because it sure is setting me wild now. When I get the olive oil rub following the battery my back between the shoulders and the neck and the shoulder blades burns and feels like needles are sticking in it... I like the yeast; in fact I get very good results from it and hope it takes care of the acne... Mr. Post Wheeler is very much interested in psychic work and wanted to know all about you and how you treated me. People here think it a miracle that I am getting well and they certainly know you have done it... I told him all I knew to tell him, but I think my case was all that was necessary."
2. 7/29/37 EC wrote asking her if she would give music lessons to Miss [1352] and let him, EC, pay for them, without [1352] knowing it. [1352-4 Her Life Rdg. told her to play the organ.]
3. 8/12/37 "Another mo. has rolled around so I expect I would like to get another rdg. There hasn't been much change since the last rdg. as far as I can see, but you said I had better be checked over every month, and you know I am in your hands 'til I get well. A chiropractor told me yesterday that he knew he could help this nervous condition but I told him you had never suggested one... The aching is better than 4-5 mos. ago but is still mighty bad... When I go down town or to the movie people stare at me like I'm a piece of stone walking around. I tell them if it hadn't been for you I would have been stone but not walking. I'm so thankful this hasn't left me stiff... I would be glad to teach [1352] piano, which is necessary before she could amount to anything on the organ... A Life Rdg. is what I want when I can start back to work and get some of these bills paid... The yeast has helped the acne...only have a few bumps now."
4. 8/23/37 See 528-11.
