TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here; this we have had before.
2. As we find, the body continues to be on the improve.
3. Naturally, there are those reactions that make for disturbances with the activities, with the hindrances from the normal activity of the body.
4. Yet if much of that as we have indicated is kept, we would find continued improvements.
5. As has been indicated, there is not the full, complete knitting of the structural portions; yet this is much improved from that as has been indicated heretofore.
6. The low resistance, the lack of the hormones and of the circulation to have sufficient of the calcium and the system to produce same, this shows the very nature that there is improvement.
7. Then, as we find, we would continue with these:
8. We would use the Radio-Active Appliance as has been indicated, making the rotations in the connections to the body as has been outlined.
9. We would have the Oil Rubs; these to be sure, over those areas of the cerebrospinal system so far as is able to be made; this at the base of the cerebrospinal system and the head of the nerves of the lower limbs.
10. We would continue with the Ventriculin for the aid this gives to the blood building forces.
11. We would have the diet continued much in the same manner as has been outlined.
12. To be sure, with the activities of the body, there is the necessity of being precautious as to overdoing or overweight, overstraining upon the limb, that has made for the conditions.
13. These with the precautions, as we find, are the better for this body in the present.
14. Ready for questions.
15. (Q) Any suggestions as to how he may help himself to walk better?
    (A) This, as has just been indicated. There needs to be the precautions taken as to how there are the activities of the body itself, see? as to the use of it, as to the use of the limb, you see, so there is not the overstrain or the overtaxing of the body.
16. (Q) Why can't he lift the foot enough?
    (A) Owing to the heaviness of the cast, owing to the general weakness that has been exhibited. Thus the necessity of the strengthening by the rubbing and by the activity gradually taken on.
17. (Q) Why is there the appearance of paralysis when the foot is in a certain position?
    (A) The same as would be with any limb held in certain position, so that owing to the pressures the nerve impulses are cut off. This is a natural consequence; not an unusual thing considering the conditions.
18. (Q) What is the condition of the sciatic nerve?
    (A) As may be indicated by the inabilities of the activity of same, the low resistance that has been in the body, this is naturally weak. With the massages, and as the conditions improve, this should be made to be brought to nearer normal.
19. (Q) What causes the little place on his eyelid and what will remove it?
    (A) Cyst as from a breaking of cellular forces. Massage with the pure Castor Oil.
20. (Q) He's been going back to work all this week. Any suggestions?
    (A) Only those precautions as given.
21. (Q) When should next X-Ray be taken?
    (A) In ten days.
22. (Q) Did the X-Ray today show the true condition?
    (A) Very good.
23. (Q) In what condition are his kidneys?
    (A) With the activities and the natural accumulations from poisons and changes, these show some overactivity - but this is a nominal thing if the diet and the activity are not made excessive.
24. (Q) Is the sciatic nerve caught some way?
    (A) We do not find it so.
25. (Q) Please give any further advice as to proper care.
    (A) As has been indicated, keep those precautions and activities and applications as suggested. Keep the mental attitude in that of constructive thinking. No animosities, no regrets for any of the activities that have been. Use that in hand, and the opportunities day by day.
26. We are through for the present.
