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 he has submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes.
3. As we find, there have been rather the acute conditions - recently - from the combinations of poor eliminations, poisons in the system, and some inflammation through the prostate area; so that the lower abdominal areas, and the limbs - especially from the hip to the body - have given the body a great deal of trouble.
4. We would apply Mullein Stupes over the small of the back, extending down low, as well as the front - when there is the ACUTE pain. Gather the GREEN Mullein leaves, you see, - bruise and pour boiling water over same - in an enamel, crock or glass container (not tin or metal). Then the Mullein leaves themselves would be put directly on the body, you see, - about three thicknesses of same, at least; and then cloths over same. This as we find will relieve tension.
5. Then we would have the high enemas to relieve the tension and the pressures upon the descending colon, where there tends to be such engorgements at times as to cause a great deal of trouble.
6. And with these, we find that the osteopathic manipulations, and the very low electrical treatments of Diathermy, should make for much better conditions. The applications of the Diathermy would be made so as to work with the better eliminations of the body, and would be taken at least once each week - not too high. This does not mean the Sinusoidal, but the heat wave, see?
7. In the diet keep away from red meats and fried foods. Keep rather to those things that are more easily assimilated. More of the vegetable diet, rather than of meats. Of course, a little of the meats may be taken, but preferably the BONY pieces of the chicken would be taken - this cooked in such a way that even the small ends of the bones may be chewed, - the neck, the carcass, the feet, the joints, etc., stewed so that they are soft and juicy. These portions carry calcium, as to be a better stimulation for the activity of the system throughout.
8. Even a little of Calcios spread on a cracker two or three times a week would be most beneficial; not more than just enough to cover a small cracker or wafer, see? and this taken about twice or three times a week.
9. But keep the Mullein Poultice just long enough to relieve the tension, - and then increase the eliminations, - not so much by cathartics - though these occasionally will be necessary.
10. Take the agar or the oils, preferably as may be found in the agar that is alkalin and prepared with phenolphthalein, - as in the (Alkalin) Petrolagar. This will aid in keeping the eliminations, and relieving these tendencies that cause the absorption of poisons in the system.
11. Do these.
12. Ready for questions.
13. We are through with this Reading.

    Calcios is manufactured and distributed through Dr. A. A. Nichoson, Colloidal Health Products Corp., Greenvale, Long Island, N.Y. It comes in a syrupy paste, and sells for $2.50 a jar. The Readings indicate it is the best way of assimilating free calcium, outside of eating the bony pieces of fowl as indicated above.)
