TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1295].
2. As we would find, there ARE disturbing conditions that have at times and do become very aggravating to the whole of the system. These have been of somewhat long standing.
3. Hence with the applications of the various influences to be acted upon, or to act upon the system in the meeting of various disturbances, there has been produced a complication of disturbances or disorders.
4. These as we find have not been wholly understood, for the BASIC cause - as we find indicated - arises from the effect produced in, or the activity of, the glandular system.
5. Hence at times and in various ways the disturbance has been to organs, principally to the blood supply, through the activities of the effect of one portion of the system upon the other; separating itself and causing segregations and the building up of activities - but they rise from a principal cause.
6. These then are the conditions as we find them with this body, [1295], we are speaking of, present in this room:
7. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, here we find there carried those effects of these disturbances as has been indicated, and the indication of how the glandular system has not coordinated and does not coordinate with the rest of the activity of the system at all times; excesses in some directions, lack of activity in others.
8. So we find the tendency for the lymph with the emunctory activity to produce those tendencies for segregations, and thus fill in the portions of the areas about the body. And the glands become in portions of the body affected by same, and in localizing - as has been indicated.
9. These are as we find primarily then, as given, the activities from the lack of activity though the internal portion of the thyroids, through the adrenals, through the activities of the coordination between the pineal and the adrenals.
10. Yet they cause in this very activity of the blood supply the inability of its coagulation, the inability of its functioning in replenishing; and the body internally becomes bleeding at times, to those portions where the segregations are set up in the system. Hence these become then disturbing conditions.
11. IN THE NERVOUS SYSTEM, as we find, all of these being a drain upon the system, then the nerve forces of the body become involved, but are as a reflex condition; as indicated to the organs of the sensory system, as to that coordination between the cerebrospinal and the vegetative or sympathetic nervous system.
12. These produce then the so easily fagging of the body at times, those periods when overanxiety may bring to the body depressions or depletions in many ways and manners.
13. All of these are EFFECTS then, not causes but effects of a deeper or basic disturbance as we find.
14. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, as has been indicated, organs become involved.
15. The brain forces, the discernments, the reflex actions to same are very good; and without that hold upon self we find the body would have gone to pieces long ago. For there are the abilities for the activities in self to bring about the awareness of not merely duty, not merely obligation, but more of the expectancy of opportunity and hope; and these have made for in the mental reactions an aiding to the body, in its hold as an entity to meet the general conditions.
16. THEN, AS WE FIND, THESE MAY BE AIDED MATERIALLY; not only with those applications that are being made for this effect upon the general system to aid in the stimulating to assimilations and to keep down those tendencies of tissues breaking in portions of the body as given, but we would add to same those vibratory forces as from the basic force for life's activity - to revitalize then those portions of the blood supply, stimulating through the glandular activities that which will keep them cleansed. For, you see, much of this arose from some times back in the activity of certain types of water, as well as a repression to the nervous system when it began.
17. Hence we would add to the blood supply in such ways and manners through these low electrical vibrations that are the basis of life's vital forces through the system, those principles of the vibratory forces.
18. Thus we will aid those properties that keep down this inflammatory condition, that keep out those tendencies for the activities to prevent the breaking up of cellular forces where coagulation is not carried on properly, the greater tendencies for healing forces to same.
19. We would, then, add these to the body:
20. We would use the Wet Cell Appliance carrying one day the atomic iodine, or Atomidine, and the next day the Chloride of Gold. Attachments would be made to the body as follows:
21. The first day, the smaller plate would be attached first, at the 2nd and 3rd dorsal; while the larger plate, passing through the Atomidine solution (full strength), would be attached last - to the umbilicus plexus, or lacteal ducts.
22. The next day, the smaller plate would be attached first, to the 4th lumbar, or the lower lumbar axis; while the larger plate, passing through the Chloride of Gold solution (and make this a percentage of ten grains to six ounces of distilled water), would be attached last - to the umbilicus plexus, or lacteal ducts.
23. Each day the application would be made for thirty to fifty minutes, but not longer than this - until it has been used for at least thirty days. The small plate would be attached to the 2nd and 3rd dorsal, or the cardiac plexus center, only when the Atomidine is used; and at the 4th lumbar when Gold is used; but each time the larger plate would be attached to the umbilicus and lacteal duct area, just below the gall duct itself - about a hand's breadth, not a span but a hand's breadth from the umbilicus or navel center to the right. Alternate each day in this manner. The solutions would necessarily need recharging or changing when the Appliance is to be re-charged, after thirty days. When not in use, take the anodes or the leads that pass into the solution OUT of the solution. Let these be attached, and charging, for at least ten minutes before each is attached to the body in the regular order.
24. This will aid then in the assimilating system, for through the lacteals the secretions from the system, the activities of the glandular system, the activities of the liver, the gall duct, the organs of the pelvis, really the heart activity itself (that becomes disturbed in the disturbance at times), are centralized for their gathering from the system that which replenishes same in their activity. For the system itself manufactures, as it were, all of the tissue, all of the circulation, all of the activity through which each organ, each portion of the system, is involved. And this by assimilation from the food values, the activities of the body and the mental reactions; and these would work with same.
25. Keep this up, with the other applications that are being used for those helpful forces for the body.
26. Also we would make corrections occasionally along the cerebrospinal system so that drainages are kept.
27. And we will find much better improvement and the body coming nearer to the normal forces; for here we are reaching not only through those present ingredients taken the effect, but through the vibrations raised within the body we are producing that which destroys the effect of the disturbance and the basic activity of the body.
28. Ready for questions.
29. (Q) How should the corrections be made?
    (A) These as we find had best be made as a Swedish massage; this along the whole length of the spine, that would set up drainages between the cerebrospinal system and the vegetative or sympathetic system.
30. (Q) Would treatments from Miss Pam be alright?
    (A) These would be very well, if these are given long enough. There's a tendency to cut off the treatment sometimes with Miss Pam's treatments.
31. (Q) Please give the cause and cure of migraine?
    (A) The glandular system as has been indicated, that makes for the pressures upon the nerve system and the activities of same to the body. And as these are relieved through the creating of those effects upon the whole of the nervous system, we will remove the causes as well as the effects.
32. (Q) Should I continue the Beta-Plasmolac?
    (A) As has been indicated, this is helpful in meeting effects. But the application of the electrical forces upon the assimilating system is for the causes.
33. (Q) Regarding the problem which disturbs me and hinders my health: Would you advise that we further reduce our standard of living, for greater security in the future?
    (A) This, to be sure, depends upon much of that as is the standard or the ideal. To be sure, that there is caused anxiety and worry, or the ideal. To be sure, that there is caused anxiety and worry, which acting upon the nervous system increases the activity of the pressures - that, as has been indicated, are sympathetic in nature; then we would not reduce to SUCH a level that we worry from the other angle also.
    For ALL help, all health, all source of supply is from the DIVINE within. From those activities then of the mental self hold fast to that; then leave the results with Him. This will bring a consciousness of the divine purposes in all things that will create the greater harmony mentally, physically, spiritually.
34. (Q) Any further advice for this body at this time?
    (A) Hold fast to self, not as self but as the opportunities as a channel, as an aid to those in the environs and the surroundings; and we will find these attitudes make for and build within the whole of the bodily functions the greater outlook for hopefulness, helpfulness in every way.
35. (Q) Do you find the husband's [rubber?] business improving in the near future?
    (A) The greater optimistic outlook that is kept in these direction will aid the most, as has been indicated. Know, do the best you can with that ye have, leaving the results, the increase in the hands of the Creator; for this then is indeed faith, and this then brings the greater promise. And these as we find make for that atmosphere where that which is proper and right, and that which is in keeping with the divine in all, brings forth those necessary influences for the greater helpfulness. The husband's business, if these are kept, will more than triple in the next twelve months.
36. We are through for the present.

REPORTS

1. 8/08/44 Mrs. [1158]'s letter: "I also want a Physical Rdg. for my sister-in-law, Mrs. [1295]. She has suffered with migraine headaches all her life. She has tried everything but still has a constant pain in her head, at times completely laying her low. I am sponsoring this reading for her and will send $20 as soon as you send me her appointment."
2. 8/11/44 GD wrote reminding her that Mrs. [1295] had obtained a Physical Rdg. on 11/24/36.
3. 11/08/57 Nephew, Mr. [1188]'s report: "Her migraine headaches went on for years (she did not follow the reading). Finally they stopped all of a sudden after going to a doctor who treated her with diet and physical therapy methods; but she developed cancer later and died in 1950 from internal cancer."
