TEXT

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [533]; this we have had before.
3. As we find, conditions are very much changed in the body from that as we have had heretofore. Most of these, all of these, are for general physical improvement of the body.
4. However, there are still some tendencies and inclinations through those areas where for so long there have been some adhesions, and the activities where the jejunum joins now with the colon.
5. Owing to the manner in which the connections have been made, this has tended under certain conditions to form something of a telescoping. This is improved.
6. Also there is some disturbance when there are the inclinations for too severe activities and straining of the body in its physical activities, or the lack of the proper precautions as to foods or eliminations.
7. The natures of these, too, at times tend to cause an upsetting between the superficial and deeper circulation. This causes those periods when there are cold and weak flushes to the body, and the slowing up of the circulation through the throat and portions of the lungs. These bring anxiety.
8. But there is such an improvement throughout the body, as we find, there needs be only those precautions as we have indicated for the body; in the activities, in the diet, and in keeping of the eliminations.
9. And when disturbances arise, use the Packs to relax the body; cleansing the body afterwards with the oils internally.
10. Thus we should keep the body gradually on the upbuild, throwing off all of these disturbing and stubborn conditions that have existed; bringing the best normal physical forces of the body.
11. For, the blood supply indicates much nearer a normal balance in leukocyte, red blood and white or lymph supply. The lymph is still minus in the sufficient activities of Vitamin B-1.
12. Hence, - have plenty of citrus fruits, as well as the reinforced cereals - but taken at different times. These should form the principal part, one or the other of these, you see, of at least one meal during the day.
13. As indicated from these lackings in the system, the body will find that to go without the meal too long will often bring distress and disturbance later, when the body heretofore has been feeling very well. This indicates the tension under which the body labors.
14. Thus we find a much improved condition in the general and specific nerve forces of the body; yet there is a lacking of these elements indicated, - that may be supplied by regularity of habits as related to hours of rest, work, play, recreation and the like. These should be the greater adhered to, if we would keep the body-mind AND the temperament on the better even keel.
15. In the functioning of organs, as we find related in the present, - we would through the winter months take every other day two ADIRON pellets, to keep an equal balance and to aid in stimulating a balancing that is being created in the nerve and blood supply; and to relieve this tension that occurs in the body at times. Take two pellets at the evening meal, every other day. This will assist in keeping down cold, but doesn't mean that the body should take chances by overexposure or getting too hot or too cold, or feet damp, or sitting or sleeping in drafts or the like; but the natural precautions should be taken.
16. Doing these, we will find we will bring and keep better influences for this body.
17. In the mental and spiritual attitude of the body:
18. When the body mentally and physically takes into account the conditions, and that it has to be thankful for, - the companionship, the relationships, - these should bring greater spiritual awakening for the body. Not because of duty, but because of the glorious mental and spiritual opportunities that are offered.
19. Then the body should, the more often, give expressions of appreciation. For, the body understands from and in Whom such blessings come. For the effect in the physical is a reminder to the body that the Divine Presence is aware and mindful of thy welfare.
20. He that is unappreciative is so little that he is insignificant. He that IS appreciative, and gives expression to same through and with the opportunities about self, is blessed of the Lord.
21. Then, forget not His benefits in thine experience.
22. Ready for questions.
23. (Q) What is cause and cure for knots on fingers, feet and face?
    (A) This is the incoordination as we have indicated, that arises from the lymph circulation. It is bettered, as we find, - that is, the circulation. In overtaxing of the body, this is when these accumulations or knots appear. Then when there is the perfect relaxation, these disappear.
    Then, as has been indicated, there should be the taking of those properties found in ADIRON, that will through these periods keep better and stronger activity throughout the body.
    Also the disturbances will be less and less by the use of the massages of the Peanut Oil externally, as well as the Olive Oil internally. Use the Peanut Oil massage for the feet and limbs, body, face and neck, at least once a week. This, absorbed, will also aid in keeping the conditions thinned in the epidermis circulation, so that these accumulations will not be caused.
24. (Q) Are there any symptoms of cancers in the system?
    (A) No symptoms of cancer. Remember, for every individual physical body what might be sometimes called symptoms are ever present. But the breaking of cells, injury to some portions of the body, these are usually the sources and the activities that bring about such. The body here is growing more healthy and less susceptible to such disturbances.
25. (Q) I have been told [by the readings] that I have had adhesions. Do they still exist in the body?
    (A) As given here. There are those tendencies in this particular area, because of the very manner and the position in which the intestines were left, see? But these only occur at times. Keep up the Packs, when there is ANY inconvenience or tiredness, and the oils - and we will gradually keep these broken up.
26. (Q) Any other advice for the body?
    (A) Adhere to those suggestions indicated, in the giving appreciations for its companion [2753], its offspring [2148], its friends, its hopes, it fears. For, these reflect themselves in the physical and mental well-being.
27. We are through for the present.
