TEXT

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:
EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1540]; this we have had before.
As we find, while conditions are greatly improved in many ways from that as we have had here before, there are still those disturbances of the nature that cause a great deal of anxiety to the body at times.
While the effects are through the nervous systems, we find that the cause or basis arises more from some disturbances through the glandular forces of the system.
Thus, through the manner of activity from the chemical reactions to the system, there is produced that which acts as spurs - as it were - in the reflexes through some of the ganglia along the system.
Thus we have those periods of reactions through both sympathetic and cerebrospinal system, as to upset the system at times.
These as we find, then, may be in the present the better met by these applications (for, as we see, the body is disturbed by the lack of elements in some respects and the excess of elements in others):
First, we would begin with a small quantity of Atomidine, to purify or cleanse - through its reaction the glandular forces of the thyroids, both the deeper and the external, as well as through the pelvic organs, and especially the glands of same through the side, or to the side, that cause disturbance of acute nature, or the catches at times. Take one minim (drop) in half a glass of water each morning before any meal is taken, for ten days.
Then leave off for three days.
And begin then with small quantities of Calcios, to be taken each day; about the quantity that would spread thinly over a wafer or cracker, - this to be eaten. Take this regularly each day for five days.
Leave off for five days.
And then take the Atomidine again for five days.
First there is the cleansing, you see, - then the rest period as given, then the Calcios for the period indicated, then the rest period and the Atomidine again. Don't take them together! Then these would be alternated in the manner indicated, and continue in this manner until there is a thorough cleansing and purifying, - which as we find should not necessitate more than the one or two series. Then, when there are the needs, - by overexercise, or overanxieties, or those things that become of a nature to affect more the emotional body, - repeat these once or twice. There is the lack of the elements, as indicated, for the purifying or cleansing of the glandular system. And, because of the lack of calcium in the system, there has been produced that which has caused sluggishness in some portions of the glandular forces, with others acting as spurs in the connections between the sympathetic and cerebrospinal system.
During these periods, we would have about once each week a THOROUGH osteopathic relaxation; not just a hit and miss, or just some portions of the cerebrospinal system relaxed, but a thorough relaxation of all the centers along the cerebrospinal system, - to stimulate especially those areas where there are the greater connections, with the cerebrospinal and the sympathetic system. These would be, then, the more specific, - the coccyx, the 4th lumbar, the 11th and 12th dorsal, 9th dorsal, 3rd and 4th dorsal, and throughout the cervical area. Once a week should be sufficient.
In the general diet, - refrain from too heavy quantities of sweets of ANY nature.
Four times each day take grape juice; preferable about two-thirds grape juice and one-third plain water. Take this about half an hour before the meal is eaten, and upon retiring. Use plain water, NOT carbonated water. Welch's is preferable, or else the fresh grape juice unsweetened.
Do these, and as we find we will soon see a great deal of strengthening throughout the system, better resistances, and the nervous system and glandular forces coordinating throughout the body.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Shall I continue with the hormone injections and pills?
(A) These we find are NOT being assimilated, and are at times causing more irritation than helpfulness.
If there is the desire for a stimulation for the glandular forces, WE would take rather the Tonicine. THIS we would take only three times a week, a teaspoonful, - this taken preferably of evenings. This carries the character of hormones that will assimilate more easily with the system. But do not begin with this until there has been a thorough cleansing through the use of the Atomidine for at least ten days.
Do that, as has been given.
(Q) Does it harm me in any way to not wear my glasses, or should I wear them all the time?
(A) As we find, it is only necessary to wear them when there is close work, or reading, or dependent upon the light. As we find, it is not harmful to leave them off, except when the eyes are under strain.
(Q) Is there any form of special treatment that I should have directed towards my female organs?
(A) These are all directed towards the female organs!
(Q) Am I going through the menopause, and is the change affecting my nerves?
(A) It is the beginning of same. Hence the need of the hormones that have been indicated; these (in the Tonicine) are glandular forces taken from sex glands, as well as from the thyroid that works with same.
Do that indicated.
(Q) Shall I have my lower back left tooth taken out?
(A) This would be the BETTER way, yes.
(Q) What must be done to relieve the pressure in my head?
(A) Do those things as we have indicated!
We are through for the present.
