TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures, with special reference to the rash on the body; answering the questions which may be submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here.
3. As we find, while the condition is very aggravating, even terrifying at times, the body may consider itself fortunate that this is external rather than internal, - for such might cause disturbance in any portion of the system to such an extent or of such a nature as to be more of a condition to be reckoned with than is indicated.
4. This, as seen, is arising from the unbalancing of conditions in eliminations between the assimilating and eliminating systems. And, as indicated, it is a rash of a toxic nature; that is, between the alkalines and the acids of the various organs of the system.
5. In the present we find, while conditions improve and then become more inflamed, more aggravating again, we would - now - rather than taking so much of various things - resort more to the diet AND to the applications for the improvement of the organs of the system.
6. Take buttermilk, with any diet that is of one forming nature; as apples, bananas, grapes OR the like; pears, or whatever is desired; and for three days use only these, see?
7. Keep the eliminations, especially with sufficient irrigation of the colon to purify same.
8. Take sufficient of the Glyco-Thymoline that it may be indicated in the odor from the stool, see?
9. Keep the ointments as indicated.
10. And these, as we find, should bring better forces for the body.
11. ANY form of yeast or a yogurt for the body will be well. Of course, this is a portion of that as will be had from buttermilk. It is those germicidal influences in same that will be effective upon the intestinal system.
12. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) Should the buttermilk and fruit be taken at the same time?
    (A) If it is the better way for the body. Just to suit the taste! But eat ONLY these through at least the three days, but keep the eliminations so that these do not become active as settlings in the colon.
14. (Q) Will the enemas be sufficient without taking any laxative?
    (A) This depends upon the activities of the body. If it stays erect often enough, moves up and down often enough, bending and twisting, it would be sufficient. This will depend. As there HAVE been other properties taken, this may be necessary to take.
15. (Q) Would coffee be detrimental during this diet period, or should it be left off?
    (A) Coffee may be taken, just so there is no cream in same.
16. (Q) Would Fleischman's yeast be correct, or the yeast tablets?
    (A) Either one.
17. (Q) How much each day?
    (A) At least what would be sufficient; at least four of the tablets, or two of the Fleischman pellets or bars.
18. (Q) And use the Resinol and the D.D.D. only?
    (A) As indicated.
19. We are through with this Reading.
