TEXT

1. EC: Yes - same address [as for 480-32 which preceded it]. We have the body, [633]; this we have had before.
2. As we find, there are indications of a great deal of improvement from those disturbances we have had here before. The indications are of those disturbances through the alimentary canal having been materially aided. There is still not as good eliminations through the alimentary canal as there should be. This at times, with the pressure as produced by the filling as it were of the lower portion of the colon and those areas through the lower sphincter muscular forces, produces an irritation to the body and a nervousness. At others the reflex action from the toxic forces as this produces makes for the tendency for the body to be sluggish, or the inclinations - if in an easy position - to easily fall to sleep; or an inclination to put off activities that should be attended to. And these tend to make for further irritations.
3. But these arise as we find from these same disturbances.
4. As we find, if there will be the raising of the portions of the coccyx in the lower end of the spine - even through the anus - we would find a great deal of this would be eliminated.
5. Also we find that the exercises as of those that make for the movements of the sacral area are beneficial. These should not be too severe, but regular and specific. The stooping, the circular motions with the hands upon the floor, the feet extended and circle the body around - would be well; as well as the general manipulations to gradually alleviate those tendencies for segments in the lumbar and lower dorsal to adhere or to be close together.
6. And these will change the whole circulation, as will this also aid in alleviating those tendencies for slow emptying of the stomach itself, as well as making for better assimilation.
7. These we would do.
8. Not that we would leave off altogether other suggestions but rather let these as activities, let those as specific applications and the exercises be the greater part of the applications in the present.
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) Doctor says there is an iliac dislocation. Is this true and what can be done?
    (A) As we find not so much a dislocation in the ileac plexus as in the lower coccyx area; and this gradually raised in the manner as indicated, with the exercise and with the general applications indicated, would relieve these pressures.
11. (Q) What routine now for better elimination?
    (A) We would keep much of that as has been indicated, except this raising, this dilating of the anus itself.
12. (Q) Have the thinning walls been helped?
    (A) These have been materially aided, but we would continue - for the present at least, possibly not quite so often but do not neglect to take - those properties indicated for same.
13. (Q) What particular diet at this time?
    (A) A general diet that includes those active forces that have a tendency for laxative reaction; as prunes, figs, stewed raisins - all of those activities that include such. The pie plant or rhubarb, those of such natures that tend to make for not merely weight but an activity to the mucous membranes to the LOWER intestinal system.
14. (Q) Any other suggestions at this time?
    (A) These we would follow as has been indicated. And it is better to take the exercises, specific - stooping and bending, morning and evening - for a few minutes, than to take them a lot one day and leave off for two to three days. For these are MOVEMENTS that not only will rest the body from long activity but will make for specific actions through the areas where disturbances have been indicated.
    Do that.
15. We are through with this reading.
