TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1312] - this we have had before.
2. Now, as we find, while the conditions have become more and more acute from weakness, nausea, and the concurrent conditions from same, if there will be kept those properties that will keep the activities of the organs involved in a state of not irritation but of gradual working in their functionings, the conditions should gradually improve; unless there arise some conditions that are not apparent in the present.
3. While the disturbances have made for irritations in the liver and spread the poisons throughout the system, through the activities that have been given these have gradually been eliminated. The conditions where there are the irritations, breaking outs, and the like, are the attempts of the system to eradicate these poisons loosened in system.
4. It will require rather the careful nursing that there be no upsets in the digestive system, through the desire for foods, but gradually giving that which is easily assimilated and that is already digested, or pre-digested foods, and gradually building up the strength and vitality of the system.
5. Ready for questions.
6. To be sure, we would leave off those irritations to the organs themselves. We would keep those that make for antiseptic conditions through the intestinal tract, as the olive oil, Glyco-Thymoline, and occasionally the enemas to cleanse the system; leaving off the cathartics and the irritants, unless it is necessary for the eliminations to be increased - see?
7. (Q) No medicinal properties of any kind, then, should be taken unless necessary?
   (A) These should not be taken, other than those indicated, see?
8. (Q) Has the body responded properly to the treatments given?
   (A) In some respects too great a response is apparent, from the nausea; it has been more of the nervous reactions that have produced the disorders, see? The nervines may be taken to quiet the body, or sedatives, and the like.
9. (Q) Would Neuronidia (?) be well?
   (A) Rather, as we find, those of the salicylic acids; or Aspironal, or Aspirin.
10. (Q) What causes the choking sensation?
    (A) Regurgitation, and the tendency for the clogging up of the bowel through the lower portion; hence the enemas are necessary to relieve those pressures and keep down inflammation also.
11. (Q) Would one each day be sufficient?
    (A) This would be too much at the present time, for it tends to weaken; but take when necessary to keep the eliminations for the activities of the system if they are not so there are the proper eliminations each day. These should be given rather than narcotics, hypnotics, or the like - but the bromides may be used. Do not use too much that is STRAINING on system, until there are some recuperative forces shown.
12. We are through with this reading.
