TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, Mrs. [1381]. This we have had before. Now, we find the general physical conditions show improvements throughout, and the general coordinations are coming nearer to their normal reaction. WE would give, only keep for the present those administrations as have been outlined for the body. These, we find, are showing response - the system responding. While there come at times those conditions that cause such reaction as for the body to feel distraught, this [is] more mental application of those forces being manifested through the physical body, than non-response of the physical to that being given. Ready for questions.
2. (Q) Should the sand packs be given in the damp sand or farther from the beach in the dry sand?
   (A) Dry sand, to be sure.
3. (Q) Give diet for the body, so as to correct the existing digestive trouble.
   (A) The outlines for the diet should be those that have an alkalin reaction, and balanced with sufficient of those food values that build for nerve and blood supply in the system; or, we would have such as this:
   Mornings - cereals. These we would change with fruits that are alkalin reaction, with possible Ovaltine or cocoa as drink.
   Of noon - those principally of a green vegetable nature, as scraped or sliced carrots, lettuce, celery, tomatoes, with dressing as to the taste, and buttermilk or those of the Bulgarian reaction - or after such meal there may be taken a tablet of charcoal with honey, or of honeycomb, with those of an alkalin reaction. These may be made with honeycomb and lactated pepsin. Honeycomb one to two grains with two drops of lactated pepsin. Of evening - those of spinach, beans, lentils, fish or small portions of beef (broiled, not fried), or of mutton, and the Ovaltine or milk at this meal.
4. (Q) Any desserts?
   (A) We haven't given any, have we?
5. (Q) Would you advise body to return home, have teeth taken care of, and continue treatments there?
   (A) The body may have treatments taken care of where it chooses, just so that it is done in the manner as has been given. Teeth need care and attention. WE would use - after two have been removed and some drained - those properties or vibrations in Ipsab. Once each week thoroughly cleanse the gums with this solution.
6. (Q) How long before the condition in the back will be entirely relieved?
   (A) This depends entirely upon the character and the amount of exercise the body uses with the applications as have been made in adjustments and the general building up of the system, for EASILY there may be UNDONE all that may be accomplished by a week - two to three weeks of adjustment - in a moment of wrenching the back, lifting, or stooping, or too much exercise in any direction that breaks down or uses up nerve energy. NOT that the body is to become indolent or lazy, but rather that CONSISTENTLY WITH that being attempted to be accomplished, be followed - see?
7. (Q) What causes the nauseated feeling the body experiences so often?
   (A) This is MOSTLY mental.
8. That is all the questions.
9. Will the body keep closely to the suggestions as have been made for the physical well-being, we will find that the response will be more than worth while. We are through for the present with this reading.
