TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [839].
2. Now, as we find, while there have been and are many disturbing factors in the physical forces of the body that have prevented the normal functioning, and have caused distresses through the system, in the present - if there are those precautions taken and the administrations that would make for a proper balance through the system, making for the vitality sufficient for the restoration of coordinating energies through the various centers of the system - this body would and should continue, now, to be gradually and greatly on the improve.
3. These are the conditions, then, as we find them with this body, [839] we are speaking of, present in this room:
4. First, in the BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find from the temperature, from the lack of vitality, the lack of the necessary elements that go to make up the strength and vitality - or the elan vitale of the system, has been lacking through the drainages that have been stopped in the system through those suppressions that have been crested through those activities in the physical forces of the body. Hence we have a depleted nerve AND blood supply. Though that in the way of the balance in same at present is fair, there needs to be kept and maintained, though, for this, those activities in the glands of the system so that from the conditions as brought about, by those activities necessary to cleanse or replenish the system, it may begin to work with the glands that secrete for the balance of the co-active forces in the system as to keep the proper balance. Then there would not need to be the accumulations or those tendencies for the arising of tissue that becomes involved through overheating or that from scar tissue or that from lack of coagulation, to prevent the normal flow of impulse in the blood, in the lymph and in the nerve forces of the body, as will be indicated.
5. The NERVE FORCES, as we find, have been - especially through the sympathetic - very much overtaxed not only by the physical activities but the worriments that have occurred or concurred with the depleting of the system in the general way and manner.
6. In the ORGANS of the body, these we find while low are in the manner in which, if the impulses are built up, they may be induced - through the proper reactions to the system - to become responding in a normal way and manner.
7. These, then, as we find, would be the proper applications to bring about or to make for the proper conditions for the bringing normalcy to this body at this time:
8. First, do not overtax the body either physically OR mentally. Do not allow the circulatory system to become accentuated by being shut off either in the superficial or the deeper circulation, by non-activity.
9. Then, make for these as the changes or as those elements and forces necessary for the keeping of this type of balance for this body:
10. First we would begin with very small quantities of the atomic iodine, called Atomidine. This would be taken only twice each day, mornings before any meals, evenings just before retiring; one minim in half a glass of water. Take it regularly in this manner for five days. Then leave it off five days. Then begin again, and so on.
11. We would have prepared a compound to make for the proper stimulation throught the organs of digestion, the organs of the body through the pelvis, through the activity of the hepatic circulation, through the activity of the cardiac forces. Thus we may produce or bring about the proper balance or stimulation. Prepare it in this way and manner:
12. To 4 ounces of Simple Syrup, add:

    Essence of Wild Ginseng...........1/2 dram,
Essence of Indian Turnip............3 minims,
Tincture of Stillingia............1/4 ounce,
Elixir of Calisaya................1/4 ounce.

    Shake this solution together before the dosage is taken, which would be 1/2 teaspoonful 3 or 4 times each day. This, as we find, will create those necessary reactions to the gastric flow of the stomach, the incentives for that increased activity of the glands to make for the proper hepatic circulation, that stimulation to prevent the forming of gases or pressures in the abdominal area; and give the strength and vitality necessary for the proper recuperations. We would take this compound for periods of two to three days at a time, then leave off for an equal period and then commence again.
13. In the diet we would keep rather to those foods of an alkalin-reacting nature, or as this:
14. Mornings - citrus fruit juices, with coddled egg but only use the yolk of same. Bread that is browned whole wheat, with at times milk toast or the like. Ovaltine or coffee without caffeine.
15. Noons - malted milk, or an eggnog with malted milk. This will make for a stimulation that would be strengthening for the body.
16. Evenings - wine may be taken with bread, but not quantities of same. Beef juices. The juices of vegetables that are cooked IN the vegetables, not separated from same but in the juice of the vegetables alone; not in the water, but as cooked in Patapar paper, or the like. The meats should only consist of such as fowl or wild game. These would be the preferable reactions.
17. An Olive Oil massage given two or three times each week will be very strengthening to the body, followed with the alcohol rub.
18. These will bring for this body the proper balance and the fulfilling of those influences necessary to bring near normalcy for this body.
19. Ready for questions.
20. (Q) What causes extreme dizziness and vertigo at times?
    (A) The unbalanced circulation and the lack of activity of the glands from the adrenals as coordinating with the heart's activity. Hence the small quantities of the Atomidine to create this balance to make for the proper flow of gland activity, increasing and strengthening the flow through the adrenals, through the thyroid, through all of the digestive flow; and increasing their stability through the life principle as we have in the Wild Ginseng with the Stillingia as an emit and an active force with the gastric flow - these should soon overcome such conditions.
21. (Q) I'm getting puffs under the eyes, something I've never had before.
    (A) This condition arises from the disturbances in the adrenals. Hence the rubs and the change of the circulation by those vibrations as indicated for the body.
    We would add with these the Radio-Active Appliance, that would keep the circulation to the extremities in such ways and measures as to make for perfect rest, and keeping the circulation normal. Use these vibrations as the body rests before retiring, not after retiring. If the body should fall asleep, to keep same on for an hour or an hour and a half would not be too long. But use it each day, for it will make for a balancing.
    Do these things as indicated, and we will find normalcy for this body.
22. We are through for the present.
