TEXT

1. EC: Yes - we have those conditions that are a part of this body's experience, [633], in the present.
2. As we find, as those suggestions that have been made are carried out, and the reactions to the system come about, the body would keep near to the normal conditions for the body.
3. While a great deal of anxiety is a portion of the entity's experience, many of those things that arise from the reaction through the nervous system (in the impulses) are sympathetic. Then, there only needs be precautions for these, with the following of those suggestions for the corrections in areas indicated in the lumbar, through the pelvis, through the iliac plexus.
4. With these pressures removed, and those general eliminations kept, with proper precautions as to colds or congestion, keeping the feet dry - these as we find, with the adherence to suggestions for diet and eliminations - would keep the general orders or regular orders for the body.
5. Ready for questions.
6. (Q) What is the cause of the peculiar cough which persists in hanging on?
   (A) This is more or less from a sympathetic condition; contributed to, of course, by the smoking - though this is not a cause, just a contributory condition; and this made less active would be helpful.
   As we find for the sympathetic condition, lemon with white of egg and a little honey would be helpful. Of course, beat the egg very stiff - a few drops of honey, then the juice of a whole lemon stirred into same, see? The dosage would be two to three spoonsful of an evening or early of morning - these are the periods of the greater disturbance.
7. (Q) Is there any cold or congestion in the system?
   (A) It's more acidity from poor eliminations than cold in the present. With those precautions in the general, as we find, these should make for the greater improvements.
8. (Q) Has excessive spraying of Atomidine solution caused this irritation?
   (A) It has not. As we find it is as has been indicated, much of a sympathetic condition, from anxiety; and is a nervous reflection.
   We would do these things as has been indicated, only using the assistant morning and evening towards allaying the mucous membranes' irritation; but it is the nerve reaction rather than local condition.
9. We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

1. See 633-6 on 1/09/37 and subsequent Reports.
2. 1/18/37 Mother-in-law, Mrs. [601], submitted questions.

REPORTS

1. 1/30/37 His mother-in-law, Mrs. [601]'s letter: "I was very happy to hear from you both by letter and over the phone.
   "The white of egg combination helped [633] but I believe the removal of the cause is up to him and will require more than local medication. His Life Rdg. (633-2) indicates more than any other the influences he has to overcome and am hoping he will be able to use the advice to better understanding."
2. 2/10/37 Wife [480]'s ltr.: "[633] is feeling much better - he has taken a hold on himself. His mother takes up too much of his time and energy. She wants sympathizing with all time and looks to him for it. Too bad but then if she were a clever woman she wouldn't do it. It's just a question of being firm with her, and he's too soft. But the situation has been pointed out to him [See 633-2 and 633-5] and he understands but it will take some adjusting. She is very jealous - I'm afraid I have the typical 'motherin-law.' I don't let her bother me, though."
3. 2/15/37 Wife [480]'s ltr. to GD: "[633] is fine and asks to be remembered to all of you."
4. 6/13/37 See 633-8.
