TEXT

1. EC: Yes. This body, [1381], we have had before. Now, in some conditions the body is much improved. In others, NOT as much improvement as there should be. Those relaxations thorough, ESPECIALLY in that as is seen along the lower portion of the back, that so often causes the mental reaction of worry, distress, distraughtness, is from those centers in the LOWER portion of the spine. These should be relaxed more thoroughly.
2. The sinusoidal ray will also aid, but these should be applied rather to the UPPER circulation, or from the lower portion of the brachial plexus and to the lower portion of the solar plexus, or in those centers in the 2nd and 3rd dorsal, and in the lower portion of the 10th or 11th and 12th dorsal.
3. (Q) Is correct diet being followed?
   (A) This is very good. The assimilations in the system are not as good as should be. Be well were small quantities of Glyco-Thymoline be given the system as an intestine antiseptic, for this will be alkaline reacting, and while will cause some little distress the first day or two, then we will find bettered conditions coming from same.
4. (Q) What causes general weakness at times?
   (A) That reflex from the coccyx to the lower dorsal and sacral. This produces a flush in the system, and a flow of the blood to this portion of the body, and not having an over abundant supply of blood, produces a weakness - or a shortness of breath, a change in the heart's activity, and resultant weakness.
5. (Q) Should stomach teeth be removed, or can they be saved by treatment?
   (A) Should be drained.
6. (Q) Should body rest more?
   (A) Be better were the body to rest more SYSTEMATICALLY. This a very good rule for this body: Get up earlier of mornings! That's first! and take a COLD shower, see? a COLD rub along the spine. Then REST after breakfast. Then, after the noon meal REST. After the evening meal, WALK!
7. (Q) What can be done to rectify choking sensation?
   (A) This will come from those reaction as will be seen with the sinusoidal, from that activity in the plexus in the upper portion of system.
8. (Q) What causes loss of weight?
   (A) Using up of energy without sufficient being added to system, as YET, to replenish or rebuild the fatty portions in the body. These will come - because it can be made a heavyweight, if it so desires!
9. (Q) What laxative should be used?
   (A) Well were these alternated. If the use of the Glyco-Thymoline is used, NATURE should care for that portion of the condition in system. If we would remove those toxins as PRODUCE condition, we will bring about a better reaction. If laxatives ARE to be used, cleanse the colon first - then use those laxatives as would be found in those of phenolphthalein, or those of any of the SODAS that react with the gastric juices of stomach, rather than those of the intestines.
10. (Q) Should patient be given more food at meals, or be fed between meals?
    (A) AT meals.
11. That is all the questions.
12. We are through with this reading.
