TEXT

1. GC: You will answer the questions which I will ask you regarding this body.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here. We have had this before, you see. There are many changes in the physical forces of the body as have and do come about by the various conditions as have been given. Followed out in the correct way and channel, we would find better physical forces. Ready for questions.
3. (Q) Has the body a tendency towards cancer? If not, why the disturbance and itching of moles and beauty spots at times?
   (A) The conditions as are produced about such spots are more from poor eliminations as are shown in the body and the nerve reaction as is seen, than that of the tendency towards cancerous condition - for, as we have given, cancerous conditions are where cellular forces have congregated on account of irritation, or poor elimination and irritation following, and the system attempting to relieve same sets up from broken cellular tissue the condition from within which becomes malignant. In this body there is not an indication at present of any malignant serum or tissue in the body. There are the indications of poor eliminations and misdirected nerve tissue, see?
4. (Q) What ails my kidneys? Why should I have a pain in that part of my back when I wake up, having lain on my back for some time?
   (A) Again we have the effect of poor elimination, and the condition of eliminations not being distributed in or through their proper channels. The kidneys being one of the highest sensitive forces, and the increased circulation being thrown there to produce elimination through these channels, this causes the tired, achey, dull feeling across the region of the kidneys, and even lower, to the locomotaries of the lower portion of body. Were eliminations set nearer proper within the system, we would find these conditions ALL disappearing.
5. (Q) I seem to become exasperated over trifles sometimes. Is this nervousness or do I need to control my temper more?
   (A) Both - though the condition is produced BY the condition of the nerve system; for, as we find in this body, with poor eliminations, or without the coordination of the eliminations of the body, poisons are continually circulated through the blood supply, so that the various tissues of the organs that pick up through their cycle of development give off inflammation, and the nerve tissue that directs the locomotion through such functioning of the organs becomes irritated, and in turn the whole body gives DOWN, as it were, and is unable to produce proper coordination between the sympathetic and the cerebrospinal system. Hence exasperation, or easy irritated, as occurs with the actions of the body.
6. (Q) The pain in my right side, is this other than my ovary? Sometimes I fear intestinal obstruction account of adhesions and operation. Have I cause to worry about this?
   (A) Were the conditions or the eliminations set aright, no cause to worry - for, as is seen and experienced by the body, with the high nerve tension, every form of obstruction or of destructive forces within the body become magnified to the body's physical condition, and the body can easily sit down and worry self into nervous headaches from conditions that are purely imaginary, until the body has thought well on same and the condition then exists. This, then, is a form of neurosis, or neurasthenic or neurotic condition - all means practically the same thing, except in this case there is the specific condition or irritation within the system that is producing same - which is the lack of coordination in the eliminating system, see?
7. (Q) Can my uterus be righted other than by operation and the ulcers caused by the present condition be healed other than by cauterizing?
   (A) These would necessitate being treated by local application, but not by cauterization, nor by operation. Rather by antiseptic packs that would heal and nullify, and eliminating excretions as are thrown off from such positions and lacerations as have existed there - but until the general health or condition of the eliminating system is better, and the coordination between the sympathetic and cerebrospinal nerves are arighted, and the coordinating in the eliminating systems, neither would be effective in bringing about a normal condition in the uterus.
8. (Q) Is it my condition and lack of energy that causes me to be melancholy?
   (A) That causes the body to be melancholy, for the condition as exists in the physical system.
   In correction, then, of these conditions, as has been GIVEN, the more perfect exercise, and the more perfect eliminations set up by the diet for the body, than by prescribing medicinal properties from within, will come nearer correcting the conditions in their normal channels and ways and manners of functioning, than by operative method, or by taking all the medicine that may be given.
   Then, correct exercise - UNIFORM exercise, or methodical exercise for the body, upper and lower - the circular exercise of evening of the body BELOW the diaphragm - the circular exercise and bending exercise of the body of mornings ABOVE the diaphragm.
   No meats of any character. Rather that of the fresh or green vegetable diet, with plenty of the starches left out, but sufficient of the proteins to build strength to the body, see?
   We would also add to those conditions, that of the Radium Appliance, using the Double X Pad across the solar plexus of the body, and of evenings this may be lain across the lower portion of the abdomen, see? as would be well for the Violet Ray - using the tube with the antiseptic solutions for the uterus, see?
9. (Q) Should the body take any more osteopathic treatments?
   (A) The osteopathic treatments may be taken, yet those exercises as have been outlined here will be more effective with the diet than the osteopathic treatments, for the body needs to OCCUPY ITS OWN MIND IN BRINGING ABOUT THE NORMAL balance for its physical being, [583].
10. (Q) Should I continue to drink the beef juice?
    (A) Little of this very good. Not too much. This would build up the strength - but let's get more of eliminations set up by normal salts of fruits and vegetables.
11. (Q) Were my intestines injured in operation of appendix?
    (A) There are shown signs of lesions and irritations, as seen through the general system. No permanent injury. These will be arighted when the other conditions are corrected. Hence the movements as are given for the body in the circular motion of that portion of body BELOW the diaphragm in EVENINGS, and that specific for ABOVE the diaphragm. Let the body take at least ten to twenty minutes, each evening AND morning - just before retiring and as the body rises - for such exercise!
12. That is all the questions.
13. We are through with this reading.
