TEXT

1. GC: You will give a general physical condition of this body at the present, with suggestions for the further improvement of same. You will also answer the questions regarding this that I will ask you.
2. EC: Yes, we have those conditions as regarding the body here. This body we have had before. Now, we find the general physical conditions are somewhat changed from those since we had it here before. Many are on the improve. Many show some exaggeration, some deterioration. Some are rebuilding in a normal manner. The general physical conditions, then, we find are as these at the present time. First:
3. THE BLOOD SUPPLY, the pressure we find somewhat above normal, yet not to that extent as to cause uneasiness, unless there should be a re-occurrence in the functioning of the eliminations and a great increase in the amount of sugar created in system. In the functioning of the excretory system, in liver, this we find somewhat clogged, and the cause of the pressure on the pneumogastric and hypogastric causes the greater thumping or noises as produced in the sensory system, especially to the auditory nerves, see? The pressure in blood, then, bringing this condition.
4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, this we find somewhat more sensitive in those connections with the sympathetic and cerebrospinal system. This is shown, especially, in the pressure as is shown on those plexuses in the upper sacral region, or that heaviness and weakness across the small of the back at times. The tingling sensation in the extremities, especially in the hand on one side, this we find is a pressure in the sacral region and in a portion that controls those of the central plexus of the upper portion of body in extremities.
5. THE CONDITIONS THEN IN THE FUNCTIONING OF ORGANS OF THE SYSTEM, brain forces very good. Over active in the depression as is produced by mental strain and physical worry.
6. Sensory system, in head, as we find, that pressure as is produced, especially the ringing as is seen in left ear, is as the pressure produced on the hypogastric plexus and sympathetically finds a reaction in the sensory system.
7. In the throat, bronchials, lungs and larynx, very good, though a little congestion produced by the pressure and by cold in throat and nasal cavity at present.
8. In the digestive system, this we find improved from that as we have had, though this may still give some distresses to the body, without care and attention to the diet, especially eating when the body is under strain in a mental manner, for the hypogastric plexus being involved, and the inclinations as was set by so long a pressure on the supplying tissues to the pancreas, that these themselves are engorged and supersensitive in a manner in their action, this bringing the greater distress, the higher blood pressure, the more active forces as to creating sugar in the digestive system, or starches and food values of a stimulating nature that are hard to digest in the lower portion of the duodenum become taxing forces to the system. The sugar as created at present is very little above normal, though shows some traces. More sediment is shown than sugar, see?
9. In the liver and spleen action on this, this shows how that the effect of those medicinal properties as taken, and as have been taken, should be kept in part (occasional) in the system, so as to give the more active incentive; especially that property as is used in Ambrosia Weed, see?
10. The condition in the upper digestion and in the intestinal tract, see, shows some strain from an over heavy condition in the body, as is shown in the action of the kidneys and of the bladder, for we find with over strained mental, the overstrain or the activity of the kidneys is increased. Hence the tired feeling that comes to the body by too great a mental and too great a strain on the whole system, or as would be generally termed, while the body is improved in the constitutional conditions of system, the general nerve system is becoming super-sensitive to the reactions from all exterior forces.
11. The vibrations as are being accorded from the battery forces, as used in Radio-Active principles, these should be reversed occasionally from the positive to negative pole, changed in the extremities, see? That is, do not apply ALWAYS the first anode to ankle. Occasionally apply to the wrist first, then to ankle, see? We find these vibrations are giving off and will assist the system.
12. Then, for the better conditions, and to keep the body more physically fit, more care (or extra care) should be given in the diet, of which the body has become a dietician for self in an excellent manner, and may control digestion and the heart's reaction and the digestion as is produced in the central portion and in the eliminations, through diet as is known by self.
13. Taking small quantities of the Ambrosia Weed, occasionally, to assist in the proper assimilation, for the lacteal fluids in system needs that incentive.
14. The adjustments or manipulations in the sacral region, in the stimulation of those places of adjustment in the 9th, 10th and 11th and to 7th dorsal, should be aligned occasionally; that is, once to twice a month, that these may be kept in their normal way.
15. The keeping of the vibrations for body, the keeping of the digestion in normal forces, will relieve that pressure that causes the condition in ear, see? for this is a pressure produced on the lower cervical where the sympathetic and the cerebrospinal join in that plexus that gives the supplying incentive of nerve force to the facial and to the upper portion of body. Well were that operation of stimulating the Eustachian Tubes be given the body, osteopathically, for this will assist the auditory forces to gain their stimulation, see? That is, treat along Eustachian Tubes with the finger, see? through the palate of the mouth. Ready for questions.
16. (After pause) Do these, then, as we have given, and we will find we will bring the better conditions for the body.
17. Taking, then, the vibration from the battery formation, changed or alternated occasionally; taking the Ambrosia Weed as given - far apart though, or only when necessary; taking those adjustments once to twice a month; taking two to three of those treatments for the Eustachian Tubes, osteopathically. We will keep the body in its normal functioning.
18. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. See 953-17 on 9/22/25.
2. 12/19/25 Letter: "Please give me a Physical Reading at your convenience. Give me a general overhauling, check up the sugar condition, loss and weakened sensory organism, circulation, noise in head, etc. Also action of battery if it is functioning o.k. and if I am responding to the vibrations set up. About the medicine and adjustments if needed any more. The diet - should I make any change in that?"
