(Q) There is an itchiness followed by a numbness, under the
right breast and on the back. What is causing it and what
should be done to relieve it?
(A) As we find, general changes - and some very definite
changes - are being wrought in the body through the purifying
of the bloodstream through those properties being taken, and
the definite changes being wrought by the balances being
changed as to the effective activity of the vitamins in the
system.
This effect, then, is as of the old order in the system being
removed, and this - as a portion of the glandular system to
the mammary glands - causes this RENEWING of energies; thus
finds expression in the itchiness, followed by the numbness.
As we find, applications of hot and then cold showers, with
the quick and thorough rubdown, and then the use of Stearate
of Zinc Powder with Balsam (Johnson & Johnson's), will assist
and aid in removing these disturbances; until there has been
the better balance brought about in the use of the properties
indicated as being used in the system at present.
(Q) Am I taking the correct amount of Bragg vitamins?
(A) As we find, in some - owing to the general differences
in the environs of the body, mentally and physically - these
are a bit in excess. If about a fourth of the quantities now
being taken would be left off, then the three-fourths should
be sufficient.
(Q) Is six Mira-Cal tablets too many to be taken daily?
(A) Four should be sufficient, and be found to work better,
even with those excesses being already changing in the body.
(Q) Should the Bragg Riddo be continued indefinitely?
(A) As every effective activity for better insurance of the
eliminating forces through alimentary canal, this will be
found to be much more effective if taken rather in series;
that is, taken for a few weeks or a month, and then left off
for a few days. It will be necessary to be taken again, of
course, but it is better to allow the system to adjust itself
to the changes as wrought. For, as is understood by the
body, the proper balance in a system functioning properly
should be created within the body-forces themselves.
Hence all vital energies are only to be of such usage as to
assist the body in attuning itself to the normal development,
normal activity of body, of mind, and of the physical
organisms of the body.
(Q) Is the Bragg dehydrated artichoke all right for [
470] to
use, instead of the fresh artichoke?
(A) Not as efficacious or efficient in its activity in the
system as the fresh. For, dehydration - especially of
artichoke - is to lose not only the vital forces of its
activity upon the system, but to produce an effect in the
functioning of the system such that it requires a continued
usage of same, or it becomes something upon which the body
is dependent, rather than attuning the functioning of the
organs, - as the liver, pancreas and spleen, - to the needs,
or to the ability to produce - through the activity of the
glands through these - that necessary for keeping a balance
in the body.
Use the fresh, rather than the dehydrated. [See 470-31.]
(Q) Any further suggestions for this body?
(A) Well for this body also [
470] to not overdo the vital
forces or the vitamins to such an extent as to cause the
activity of the glands (that produce the vital forces from
that assimilated) to such an extent that they become weakened
or fagged by overenergizing. Hence we would reduce the
quantity, rather than quality, of vitamins taken.

REPORTS
12/23/40 [
1100]'s letter: "...Thank you so much for taking
the reading for me, as it answers my needs at present
perfectly. The numbness had me a bit worried and glad that
it isn't anything other than too many vitamins. It just goes
to prove that those health experts don't always know what
they are talking about, so both [
470] and I are taking (or
were taking) what was supposed to be the minimum and Bragg
said that one could not take too many vitamins. I had a
feeling that it was too much although I couldn't doubt
Bragg's word until the 'information' said so. In other
words, we cannot over-vitalize or revitalize this old body
too much at a time. Am glad to know, however, that a
definite change is going on, in the purification of the
bloodstream..."
