TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1315]; this we have had before.
2. As we find, there are a great many improvements in the general physical forces of the body from that as we last had same here.
3. However, there are still some disturbing conditions; as naturally arise from disturbances such as has been indicated that have found expression in the physical functioning of the body.
4. And thus from the drosses of these disturbances there are at times the reactions shown as in the system's attempting to eliminate same; as in the slow circulation through the lower limbs, from a pressure as indicated in the lumbar and sacral area as well as in the same area from which - there not being the whole or perfect activity of the lower portion of the hepatic circulation - there are those disturbances with the kidneys or the eliminations of the bladder.
5. These are but the outward effect then of such disturbance. This anxiety as thus produced needs then the corrective forces, and the vibrations as we find from the Radio-Active Appliance for the body will be most beneficial.
6. We would have then occasionally, once a week or once in two weeks, a thorough osteopathic massage, with specific reference to the lumbar and sacral areas.
7. We would have periods of the Radio-Active Appliance. Here, do not allow the Appliance to be submerged in the ice or water - and it should be at least in same five to ten minutes before the attachments are made to the body. Keep the plates or anodes clean each time before being used. When attached, attach to the right wrist, left ankle; the left wrist, right ankle. The inside of the wrist, of course, as well as the inside of the ankle - just above the knuckle bone and below the wrist bone - these the manners of application. Use same when resting, for thirty to forty minutes each day, for a week to two weeks. Then rest from same a week. This will be found to give the body more pep, allow it to rest easier, and make for a better circulation; removing this stress upon the lower limbs, especially if the manipulations are given as indicated.
8. When necessary for a cleansing of the system to keep the eliminations, as we find rather than using cathartics or laxatives the enemas will be much preferable. Have same the temperature of the body, and a soda-saline solution; that is, to each quart of water put about half a teaspoonful of Soda and a level teaspoonful of Salt - thoroughly dissolve same and have the water the temperature of the body. Retain same as much as possible, that we may cleanse the colon with less irritation to the organs in the area of the lower portion of the alimentary canal or the end of the colon area itself. But let sufficient water be taken that the colon is cleansed.
9. In the diet keep close to those things that have been indicated.
10. Ready for questions.
11. (Q) Why do I have a little bladder irritation at times?
    (A) As has been indicated, from the lack of the full or proper eliminations of drosses from the system, from the affectations of conditions as heretofore indicated. Thus the necessity for not only keeping the circulation balanced but the manipulative forces for keeping corrections in these directions.
12. (Q) Why do my ankles swell, especially in warm weather?
    (A) This especially as indicated arises from those disturbances. But if these things are carried forward we will find that when warm weather comes this will not be so disturbing.
13. (Q) In what condition are my tonsils?
    (A) These as we find only as an activity of a glandular force show an irritation. But if the rest of the system is kept proper, we will find these will become in a healthy, normal reacting condition as they exist.
14. (Q) At times I do not hear well. What causes this?
    (A) This disturbance as indicated for the circulatory forces, and with the manipulations and especially the vibrations from the Radio-Active Appliance we will aid in creating a balance in this direction.
15. (Q) What is the best diet for me?
    (A) An eighty percent alkalin to twenty percent acid reacting diet. The combinations are those things that make for too great a disturbance. Then, leave out these from the diet as combinations.
    Do not take tomatoes either cooked or raw WITH other green cooked or raw vegetables; though tomatoes by themselves (preferably the canned) are very good as a portion of the noon meal, or an evening meal.
    Leave off potatoes of any kind at ANY time, and especially no fried potatoes ever! Do not combine white bread especially at any time when wines or strong drinks are taken.
    Do not use too much of or too great quantity of alcoholic drinks, though Red Wine is very good for the body, or light wines - NOT in excess.
    Spaghetti or macaroni or great quantities of cheese, do not combine these too much with breads or sweets; but rather as indicated keep the twenty percent acid to eighty percent alkalin reactions.
16. (Q) Are figs and dates good for me?
    (A) These are very good. Do not combine these, however, with starchy foods.
17. (Q) Does pumpernickel bread contain starch or anything that is bad for me?
    (A) Pumpernickel is of many varied characters or kinds. That which is properly made pumpernickel is VERY good for the body. But we would find rye bread or Ry-Krisp as a better bread than too much pumpernickel - as has been mostly used by the body.
18. (Q) Is liquor bad for me?
    (A) Strong drinks as indicated are bad.
19. (Q) Are the massage treatments good for me that I've been taking at Bonwit-Teller Co., 56th St. & 5th Ave.?
    (A) These are very good, provided there are not too many of same taken. But to keep the body in a normal balance, these are very good.
20. (Q) Am I going through any physical changes now?
    (A) Just previous to same.
21. (Q) Is the Pyaim tooth powder I have been using for nearly a year beneficial?
    (A) Very good, and is a stimulant to the secretions of the mouth and is very helpful. As we find for the gums and for the mouth, the use of Ipsab as a MASSAGE would be most stimulating, most invigorating.
22. (Q) Does the Pyaim contain any substance which would prove harmful after its usage? What is it made of?
    (A) It does not contain substance harmful. As to its make, this is a secret formula.
23. (Q) Why was the name Stella mentioned first in one of my readings [See 1315-2, Par. 1], and then [1315]?
    (A) This was the name that the body came near being called; it was considered before and at the time of its birth. It was in associations with these.
24. We are through with this reading.
