TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for the improvement of the body, and will answer any questions I may ask you regarding same.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here - this we have had before.
3. Now, we find the general conditions of the body somewhat bettered from that as we have had before; though the specific conditions arising, we find there are poor reflexes and the system is re-poisoning itself through non-eliminations again. This as much from nerve reaction and lack of rest, and of worry, as from the organic conditions existent; for, as general in the system, the condition shows improvement. We would only give that the eliminations be increased especially through that of the ambrosia weed, or from those properties and refrain from those properties that cause too much of acid or grease in the system. Ready for questions.
4. (Q) What causes the body to suffer so with the left shoulder and arm?
   (A) From pressure as produced by poisons as gathered in centers that radiate to the nerve reflexes in this portion of body. Whenever there is a pressure produced in system - any human body - from poisons that accumulate from congestion, or from a pressure, then the reflexes are such as is seen in that called neuritic, neurasthenia, or arthritic or rheumatic. All are of one and the same CONDITION in BASIC forces, PRODUCED from different existent conditions - see? Here we have one produced from first a super-sensitive body - radiation from blood supply insufficient to at all times create a normal balance. A nerve impulse that is either produced through pressure or lack of supply, producing a numbness and an aching that is necessitating, then, a new radiation, see? Heat of a MOIST nature will bring this about the quicker, see?
5. (Q) Is it good for the body to take sodium phosphate?
   (A) Not too much! for this produces a different element in the system that is hard to combat with when we consider the conditions that are met with in the system. Thence, as is given, that of the vegetable that does not leave a dross, rather than one that leaves a dross to be carried or absorbed through other portions.
6. (Q) What is best for eliminations?
   (A) For THIS body, as given, the ragweed or ambrosia weed. [GD's note: I think this preparation is sold also under the name of Simmons' Liver Regulator.] That is an eliminant that acts with the juices of the system, see?
7. (Q) Should this be made as has been given in a former reading? [See 569-9.]
   (A) As given in a former reading. To alternate from this, Toris Compound may be used - with simple syrup, to which a teaspoonful or tablespoonful of Spirits Frumenti may be added. That would be well as an alternative; that is, when one is needed use one, when the next is needed use the other. Both are cleansers from the system. This will also act as an absorbent for those of phosphates. Phosphates are well in most systems. Do not overtax THIS one with phosphate - for we become lacking in iodine when too much of phosphate is used, and in ragweed and in Toris we have a combination where both are added in a equalized condition, and are more absorbed by the system.
8. We are through for the present.
