TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here; this we have had before.
2. Conditions continue to be very serious. There is the necessity of the removing of those conditions through the alimentary canal. As we find, this is the only hope to relieve the pressure, as has been indicated - and carrying out same as has been indicated.
3. To be sure, there are weakening conditions, and the excruciating pains that come make for the rising of disturbing conditions.
4. But we would tend to be higher and higher with the enemas, and to make for the easing through the applications as given.
5. Ready for questions.
6. (Q) How often may the enemas be given?
   (A) They may be given, as we have indicated, every few hours, until there is the manner of allowing the gases to be eliminated - and the increasing forces that accumulate in the system from absorption to those conditions there be prevented.
7. (Q) Should a colon tube be used, or an ordinary nozzle to a syringe?
   (A) A soft colon tube; one that does not allow too great a quantity of water or pressure from the end - let the pressure be more from the side than the end.
8. (Q) Is there any warning regarding giving the enemas?
   (A) The warnings have been given, as to how there should not be given too much water at once. Rather allow the reactions to take place in the system, if possible.
9. (Q) Should all other treatments be kept up?
   (A) As indicated, these are the ONLY conditions that may suffice - if there will be the response.
10. (Q) Any other helpful suggestions for the body, or advice to those attending same?
    (A) Be consistent and patient with those activities, and trust in that that it may respond in the body.
11. (Q) Has peritonitis set up yet?
    (A) The INFLAMMATION has increased; it has not broken as yet.
12. (Q) Has the body responded at all to the treatments?
    (A) If it hadn't, it would have passed long ago!
13. (Q) Any advice regarding any stimulants?
    (A) The greater stimulants, as we have indicated, should be those things given; as we find, that may be absorbed at all.
    Of course, the massaging - gently - of the area over the abdomen will be helpful; with that which would be absorbed to remove inflammation.
14. (Q) What should be used for the abdomen massage?
    (A) Oil; Olive Oil.
15. We are through for the present.
