TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [920]; this we have had before.
2. Now, as we find, there are changes in the general physical forces of the body since last we had same here.
3. There are, however, conditions that need local attention and applications that would as we find alter much the reactions in the physical functioning.
4. These then are the conditions as we find them in the present:
5. In the blood supply there are still those after effects of subjugation or the breaking of that relationship between the nervous energies of the body and the co-relation between the circulatory system, which is indicated in the lower dorsal and in the lumbar area, affecting specifically more the locomotory centers through the area where the nerves from the cerebrospinal system coordinate with the great trunk nerves of the lower limbs.
6. Hence we find at times those tendencies for a heaviness through the lower portion of the sacral, extending to the whole of the lumbar area and even to the sciatic centers to the knees.
7. These are as affectations in the incoordination between those portions so subjugated through the effect of subjugation or the effect of that necessary in operative measures.
8. While these conditions exist by the activity of the lymph flow, then, applications that will coordinate or equalize the circulations from one portion of the extremities to the other will make for the central circulatory system as well as the central nervous system becoming more coordinant.
9. The applications that have been made in the manipulative forces have been helpful, yet as we find these should be applied more specifically in areas where this incoordination occurs; to set up drainages in those ganglia that may be reached through the deep manipulations.
10. And there should be those influences or forces taken that will cause the activity of the lymph and the emunctory circulation through these portions of the body so disturbed.
11. Also with same the low electrical vibrations for or of the body itself, through the Radio-Active Appliance, will create a more normalcy and bring about the better coordination of all the glandular forces of the system itself.
12. Then as we find, once, twice or three times a week if it becomes necessary, make application of this combination: Equal portions of Mutton Suet, Spirits of Turpentine, Spirits of Camphor and Compound Tincture of Benzoin. This should be massaged into the lumbar and sacral area and then apply heat, that it may create a stimulation to the circulatory system. For in the properties indicated there is not only the ability to create a coordinant influence but to relieve those tendencies for the slowed circulation and the attempt of the body to adjust itself.
13. Use each day the vibrations from the Radio-Active Appliance. This should be kept very thoroughly cleansed when making application to the opposite extremities of the body, for one hour each day.
14. Once, twice each week for two to three weeks and then a rest period of a week or two weeks and then again once or twice, have the deep osteopathic manipulations, but coordinating more in the lumbar and the coccyx centers for correction. To be sure, make for stimulation in the 9th dorsal, in the secondary cardiac plexus area or the brachial center and the vagus centers through the cervical; but the deep manipulation and adjustment should be in the coccyx and lumbar axis.
15. Follow these, with a diet that makes for body-building but not necessarily for excess of avoirdupois; for this depends rather upon the coordinations of the glandular system through the assimilating and distributing of the assimilating forces.
16. The activities of each of these are as this:
17. Through manipulative forces the activities of the ganglia and the muscular forces about same produce and bring about better coordination, alleviating those tendencies for tissue to become as scar tissue that tends to accumulate and thus make for periods of a neuritic effect or neuritis, or even the congestion area.
18. The application of the properties as rubs and the heat will aid in giving stimuli through their activity upon the system.
19. And the activity of the body-electrical vibration creates an even tone for the pulsations through the circulatory system and of that also which gravitates from the activity of the nerve impulses.
20. It will be found by the body in the use of the Radio-Active Appliance that it is well to use such periods for the meditation; that these be in accord. For as the vibrations of the body are brought into coordination so that the mental, the physical and the spiritual attributes of the physical forces of the body are in attune or coordinant, the experiences of the mental forces are keen, active, positive; thus periods come when any experience sought may find in itself its answer.
21. Ready for questions.
22. (Q) Is "I.Q.S.", in other words, "Iron, Quinine and Strychnine" a good tonic for me? If not, what tonic?
    (A) The vibratory forces for the body as we find would be preferable to I.Q.S. Use the compound of the enzymes, or the iron enzymes as in Iron and Ventriculin - the variations in these.
    The addition of the strychnine under the existent conditions works for a hardship upon the central nervous system through the connection between the heart, the liver; while the Iron WITH the enzymes works upon or produces that condition in the system for the activity of the glandular forces to produce the proper coordination in the hormones that produce the activity of the white blood cells or the lymph and the activities that cause proper coagulation by used energies.
    The body finds that not by mental alone nor by physical exercise does there occur those periods of taxation in centers. This is because of the lack of the leucocyte activity in the hormones of the lymph - these are lacking. In the Ventriculin these may be added, and in such a way and manner as to make for better coordination.
23. (Q) What can I do to have more energy?
    (A) Those activities as indicated through the use of the Radio-Active Appliance, as well as producing a better condition in those portions of the system that are disturbed, will bring this condition.
24. (Q) Is my blood stream correct?
    (A) Well, this might be said Yes and might be said No and both be correct, as has been indicated by the disturbances as outlined. While a test of the blood stream would find in one period a lowness in the number of the red blood cells, another would find low in the white blood cells. Yet if it were taken in the present, they would be near normal. But periods come and go. The energies are used up by mental or physical exercise and emergencies arise. And we will find this variation causes those periods, as may be commonly said, when there is a "let down." This produces to the system the fagness or the faggy feeling, the lack of energy; and the pain, not as an ache or pain but as a heaviness that may move through the nervous system and then eventually localize in the lumbar and the lower portion of the torso of the body.
25. (Q) What can I do to reduce my weight?
    (A) The use of the Radio-Active Appliance will keep a nominal or normal balance for the body, if kept with the diet that is body-building but not avoirdupois-producing; as a balance of eighty percent alkalin to twenty percent acid-producing foods or values. This will keep normalcy in the weight for the body.
26. (Q) Is Dermetics a good skin preparation?
    (A) This is very good and with the application of those properties indicated that cause a better superficial circulation, as we find this will prove even more beneficial than it has in its use in recent times. For there occur periods when this apparently becomes as disturbing rather than beneficial, because of the lack of those elements in the lymph and the emunctory activity to cause its proper reaction.
27. (Q) How should the Ventriculin be taken?
    (A) One dose, a heaping teaspoonful, each day. Be naturally some inclination for this to be disturbing in the beginning, but we will find that the effect - with the other properties or applications - will be so helpful that the body will be rather enthusiastic about it.
28. (Q) What period of the day would be best to take the Ventriculin?
    (A) Between three-thirty and five o'clock in the afternoon - those are the periods when the body is under the greater strain; and it is a stimulation to the circulation.
29. (Q) Is there anything in my subconscious mind hindering or retarding my health?
    (A) This might be deduced from those suggestions as made by the periods when there is the better coordination in the whole of the mental, the physical, the spiritual, to use the Radio-Active Appliance period as the period of meditation. But to make it as a definite condition, no. It is rather a subconscious activity of block, as it may be said. Thus using such an hour for meditation, constructive thinking, constructive building within the physical, mental and spiritual self, will remove all such disturbance.
30. (Q) Any spiritual advice?
    (A) The influences or forces of spiritual activity emanate from the within. And as there are the communications with the divinity within self for its use or application in self's relationships to the conditions surrounding same, in meditative periods, these bring that harmony, that peace, that understanding that is not gained by those who do not commune with the divine within. And these, to be sure, are the basis of ALL endeavors from the SPIRITUAL rapport of an entity. These are not only helpful but assist self or the entity to be the greater channel for helpfulness to others.
    For spirituality, as love, grows by finding expression - and being given out.
    Do that.
31. We are through for the present.
