TEXT

GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with further suggestions for corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
EC: Yes, we have the body, [1112]; this we have had before.
As we find, while conditions in the present are not so serious as when last we had same here, there is still much disturbance. And there are the needs for a great deal of precaution and attention in relation to the disturbances and tendencies which exist.
While we do not find that there is a consumptive or malignant nature of disturbance with kidneys, there ARE indications of pus - which produces not only temperature and inflammation through the areas themselves but causes a great deal of pain, a great deal of distress.
There needs to be applied at intervals - not all the time, but at intervals - those applications which we have indicated, that will relieve, as then; tending to allow the activities of the organs to eliminate these secretions and poisons that have become as accumulations.
We find that the taking of very small doses of Sweet Spirits of Nitre at times would be excellent, - eight to ten drops. Less may be taken at times. Do not take this, however, unless there has been the application of the stupes or packs over the areas to reduce temperatures.
Also we find that the use of the Jerusalem artichoke in the diet occasionally would be beneficial for the body. For, this will aid in stimulating the activity for a coordinating between the liver AND the kidneys - which tend to make for greater disturbances at times by their lack of coordinant activity.
Drink plenty of water.
Keep away from half cooked meats, or red meats, or any quantities of grease. These tend to make for the disturbances to the digestive forces of the body.
The massages and rubs, to be sure, are good. Light sweats would also be well for the body, but not too heavy.
When there is any distress, or the least temperature, apply the stupes, and follow same in the next twenty-four hours with a small quantity of the Spirits of Nitre.
These are the applications as we find best for this body.
Ready for questions.
(Q) What should be done to help bloodshot left eye?
(A) The applications of hot water with camphor poured on packs that would be put on the side of the head and temple, these will tend to relieve the distress and take away the bloodshot conditions.
(Q) Does smoking harm me?
(A) If it is very moderate, it is not harmful. But in excess it IS harmful.
(Q) Is it alright to eat sweets - honey and raw sugar?
(A) No. A little honey may be taken, but preferably honeycomb; but very seldom raw sugar - if at all. And keep away from pastries and the like.
(Q) Why am I so tired all the time?
(A) The excesses of pus and the tiredness caused by temperature in the blood stream.
(Q) What causes legs and back to ache most of the time?
(A) The same. Thus the massage and rubs would be excellent for the body. If these are taken daily it will not be amiss.
Do these for the better conditions of the body.
Plenty of fish should be a part of the diet; not fried, however - best baked or broiled.
We are through for the present.
