TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for the relief and improvement of same, and you will answer any questions I may ask you regarding same.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here - we have had this before, you see.
3. Now, we find many changes in the physical conditions of this body since last we had it. Some are not so good. Others are VERY good.
4. The development of those conditions wherein distresses have been brought to the body is the condition existent in the milk that has been fed the body, and this taking so much of those properties from same that the system has nothing to combat with in the digestion. Hence reacts as poisons, causing - through the duodenum, pancreas and the intestinal tract - too much activity in the system without proper digestion, see?
5. We would, to meet the needs of these conditions, change the milk. Use occasionally a few drops Glyco-Thymoline as an intestinal antiseptic, given in water - three to four drops at the time - may be given once to twice a day, then given for two or three days, then left off and then given again for two or three days, see? This is as an intestinal antiseptic and will prevent the accumulations of too much of the fermentation as is created in the system. Again we would change the diet into more of the gruels that give rebuilding forces in the system, as is seen in grapenuts - oranges OCCASIONALLY, not too many of same. Apples, but not unless they are cooked. Meats - no hog meats! but chicken or chicken broth, or the white meat of the chicken, these may be given in moderation. Potatoes, only those that are mashed or prepared in the shell itself, see? or roasted - none that has grease with same, save butter.
6. Rub the spine - along the whole length of same - using equal parts of tincture of myrrh, olive oil and sassafras oil. Heat the oil, then add the other properties. Do this about once each day.
7. Mild enemas may be given occasionally to cleanse the colon. This also will reduce fermentation and check the bowels from acting too often through these channels.
8. We will find with these changes better assimilation and the proper correction for the body. Do that. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) Should the milk be heated or given raw?
   (A) If proper change is made and the regular milk given, not necessary to be heated. If the same is used - well, this won't do, the same that has been used - but some would necessarily - if it's RAW milk - be heated - not boiled, but nearly to the boil, see? This would prove beneficial, but do not CONTINUE same! or it may be changed to the dry milk - this may be used, or it may be changed to the PROPER use of milk with the foods that are prepared even for babies, to make the correction - but keep changing - it's worth it! Do not be other than persistent with getting corrections made for the body, see?
10. We are through for the present.
