TEXT

1. EC: Yes. Now, as we find, there are some changes for the better since last we had same here. While there are still those disturbances that bring distresses to the body, these show that some of the resistances are being broken down. And if there would be the CONSISTENT adherence to those suggestions that have been given, we would find relief for this body.
2. Ready for questions.
3. (Q) What causes the clots of blood during menstruation periods?
   (A) The attempt of the system to throw off those accumulations that without same would become such as to form into lymph ducts or lymph sacs that would make for tumorous conditions. Using those things that have been indicated, we will find relief.
   And when there is the heaviness, and when there are the accumulations that make for these distresses, we would apply the Epsom Salts packs over the frontal portion of the body - over the puba bone area, and heavy salt packs (course salt in bags, heated) over the lower portion of the cerebrospinal system. And these conditions will be alleviated.
4. (Q) Would it harm body to stand on feet to work?
   (A) The body ought to know - it's been standing enough! It makes for the BEARING down, and makes for those heavinesses. The body should keep off of feet, and especially during those periods when the eliminations are more manifested, you see.
5. (Q) What can be done for the sore on the ear?
   (A) Massage same with sweet oil or camphorated oil in the mornings, and with Castor Oil in the evenings; not to hurt, but just around the edges and over it.
6. (Q) If the treatments are taken correctly, how long before the body will be normal?
   (A) This, to be sure, depends upon the responses the body makes to conditions; the mental attitude, the diet, the consistency with which these treatments are applied. We should see considerable improvement in only a few weeks. But it depends upon the whole attitude and application and response, and what are the conditions that are within from outside, see? We should see continued improvement.
   Follow consistently, then, those suggestions that have been given. Use the douches that have been indicated. Use the massage and the vibrations and all of those, CONSISTENTLY. And, most of all, mind the diet - that we have those body-building forces for the system.
7. We are through with this reading.

REPORTS

1. 8/20/58 Mrs. [650] phoned GD re the serious physical condition of her daughter. Her husband [5655] had reminded her [650] of how EC had helped them all so much during his lifetime. They now wondered if we could find a parallel case to that of her daughter, now 29 years old, who was named for [409]. GD referred her to Dr. Wakefield who found extreme hypothyroidism and hypopituitary secretions; suggested x-rays to determine whether pituitary tumor; saying if it turned out to be Simmond's Disease [as one doctor had suggested] it would be serious indeed.
   The daughter's condition is mentioned here just in case it would be pertinent in a study of the parents' physical conditions according to their readings.
