TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here; this we have had before.
3. As we find, conditions are not so good as when we last had same here.
4. There has been an unbalancing of the chemical forces of the body. In some form, that to reduce the tendencies toward flesh has unbalanced the metabolism and the katabolism of the system.
5. This unbalancing in the katabolism has had a special effect upon what may be termed the BURSA throughout the body. These are oil sacs or bags, that to an anatomist would be indicated the more often in the feet and in the heel, the calf of the leg, and about the area of the sciatic.
6. Now, in this body, these particular areas in the last few weeks have given some anxiety; not that they hurt exactly, but there is an awareness of pressure, or a "feeling" there.
7. The more recently we find a condition that has existed about the thyroid and the area of the first cervical, in the medulla oblongata. This has caused those activities that bring about weaknesses in portions of the body.
8. Then, to meet the needs of the conditions with this body:
9. We would keep a normal, balanced diet, with a proper balance of calcium in the body. Hence about twice a week we would add CALCIOS to the diet, about the quantity that would be thinly spread upon a small whole wheat cracker.
10. Then about once a month, - not oftener, as it would cause anxiety - but these are the properties needed to bring normalcy, - we would take, preferably in the evening, half a teaspoonful of ACIGEST stirred into a full glass of RAW milk. Do not attempt to use milk that has been run through machines, for either separating the fat or for the sterilizing, but use the pure RAW milk. This is the hydrochloric acid, you see, and is to be used ONLY in raw milk.
11. Occasionally we would have a hydrotherapy treatment, - that is, a sweat, the sitz baths, and a stimulation to the superficial circulation.
12. If there is the desire to keep the weight normal, take grapefruit juice and grape juice combined - rather than just the grape juice in water, see? To two ounces and a half of pure grape juice add half an ounce of grapefruit juice. Take this four times each day (before meals and at bedtime) for five days, leave off five days, take again for five days, and so on. This should keep a normal balance.
13. Ready for questions.
14. (Q) What are the cause and remedy to correct my present lightheadedness, arising from the illness I experienced during the past week?
    (A) As we have just indicated.
15. (Q) Has the gall stone I have any influence on my recent indisposition?
    (A) Not near so much as the unbalancing of the chemical forces in the bursa, or oil bags of the body.
16. (Q) What foods should I avoid and what foods especially should I include in my diet?
    (A) Avoid all fried foods, and the combination of too much starches at once. Combine what meats are taken, of course, with the breads or the like, but great quantities of starches and fats are to be avoided. The fluid foods, as the green vegetables or raw foods, are to be included as a portion of one meal each day.
17. (Q) In what vitamins am I especially deficient, and what vitamins should I take, and in what form and dosage?
    (A) We would not take the vitamins in ANY form until there is a better balancing of the bursa through the body, which would come about by the use of the Calcios for a week and at least one dose of the Acigest. Don't take more than one dose of the Acigest a month, - because it will make the body uncomfortable for a day, but it is that needed to create a balance for better assimilation, so that better living activities for the body may be established - under those circumstances of changing about; just so the body avoids too much fats or too much sweets, or the combinations of sweets with starches.
18. (Q) Would you give me an outline of a health program for the next few months, consistent with the itinerant character of my living conditions?
    (A) As we have indicated, just be careful with the diet - after the first week or ten days of these properties indicated there should be a balancing of the system.
    Then if there is the desire for the greater vitamin energies, those mostly needed for the body, as we find, or that are the more deficient, are the E and B-2; which may be obtained most through the raw vegetables.
    Keep those activities of the mind and the body in those attitudes as we have so oft commended for this body. For, these are much needed.
    Keep well attuned to those desires for Creative Forces to be made manifest - not only through the self's individual efforts but in such manners act in thy conversation and avocation with others as to be impelling, even as ye were to Cleopas.
19. We are through for the present.
