TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, [1465].
3. As we find, there have been good and bad periods for the body since last we had same here.
4. The first causes have been aided somewhat, but to relieve these entirely - and for the better health, there should be the consistent application of the Castor Oil Packs over the lacteal duct and the caecum area, or the right side - from just below the rib area to the lower portion of the groin. These should be applied in series; each day for an hour, for a period of three to five days, leaving off for a week, and then again each day for another three to five days, and so on.
5. Each evening following the application of the Packs, we would massage the body - from the base of the head or brain to the end of the spine, with an equal combination of Olive Oil and Peanut Oil. This should be done in a rotary motion along either side of the spine, and especially over the area of the sympathetic nervous system; massaging all that the body will absorb of this combination of oils.
6. Every second or third time the massage is given, we would also massage gently - but all the body will absorb - over the abdomen and the gall duct and liver area, and the whole way across the diaphragm area. This would be given as a kneading massage, while the one along the spine would be given in a rotary motion as indicated.
7. Then, keep the diets as indicated; and these as we find should bring better conditions.
8. The first cause, as we have indicated, is from adhesions in the areas between the lower portion of the liver and gall duct, and about the lacteals. This causes the weakness, nervous reaction, the spasmodic reactions at times.
9. However, if these applications of the Packs and the massages and the diets as outlined will be followed for a period of several months, or until there is the breaking up of the adhesions and lesions, we find that the cause may be eliminated.
10. Ready for questions.
11. (Q) Is there any form of examination or diagnosis that will locate and show the source or cause of trouble?
    (A) As indicated, the reactions that occur show the source or cause of the trouble, - that is, the weakness, and the conditions arising from certain diets from which the body has found that it is well to refrain.
    But do as has been indicated, if we would bring the better forces for this body.
12. (Q) What can be done by this body to hasten improvement?
    (A) Be consistent with those applications as we have indicated.
13. We are through for the present.
