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 she has submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here; this we have had before.
3. There have been changes in the general physical conditions of the body since last we had same here. Some have been for the betterment; others have apparently reverted to a greater distribution of the poisons as should be and could be eliminated from the system.
4. As we find, it would be well to adhere closely to those suggestions that have been indicated for the diet, as well as for those applications in every way.
5. Do not leave off the Mullein Tea until there is a healing over, and - with the healing over - better eliminations through the alimentary canal.
6. After there has begun the better healing, and more localization, we would use the Violet Ray (hand machine, bulb applicator) each day for a minute and a half altogether; this applied not on the limbs, but on the body - in the areas of the sacral and lumbar, 9th dorsal, and the brachial center, or 1st and 2nd dorsal, and the upper portion of the cervicals. At first there will appear some little upsetting from this, but keep these treatments each evening; and we will find - after a few days - this will again gradually begin to heal, - and with the changed vibration, and the eliminations kept up, we should rid the body of the disturbances.
7. The rest we would keep much in the manner as has been outlined.
8. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) Is there something in my diet which makes this condition worse?
   (A) MORE, in this particular period, from the leaving off of the purifier in the blood that causes the elimination to the alimentary canal of the poisons, - so that they break out in the superficial circulation.
   But keep to the diet in the manner indicated.
10. (Q) Please give a list of foods that irritate my condition?
    (A) Those that are superacid in their reactions, - as sweets; as bananas, tomatoes, corn and the like.
11. (Q) Are squash and ice cream alright in my diet?
    (A) Very good.
12. (Q) Are osteopathic treatments being properly given?
    (A) These are very well. More attention should be paid to the same centers we have indicated for the use of the Violet Ray (at home - not more than a minute and a half, over the areas indicated); that is, in the sacral and lumbar, 9th dorsal, and the brachial center, or 1st and 2nd dorsal, and the upper portion of the cervicals.
    These - the osteopathic treatments - should not be necessary oftener than once a week, and - if given properly - there should not be required more than ten more - if given as we have indicated.
13. (Q) Suggest osteopath that would be best?
    (A) Best to choose one who is in sympathy and is pleasing to self. For, the mind has to be satisfied, as well as the doctor's mind; but choose one that knows how!
    Irvin would be very well.
14. (Q) Is the lymph pump helpful?
    (A) Very helpful, if the osteopathic adjustments are made according to the use of same.
15. (Q) How often should it be used?
    (A) This depends upon who is going to do the manipulation!
16. (Q) Should I continue the following, and as heretofore indicated?
    (A) (Interrupting) As has been indicated, continue all of those things as we have given should be kept - and in the manner as has been outlined for same.
    Do that.
17. (Q) Are my present daily eliminations proper?
    (A) These are not regular, but when they are regular they are very good.
18. (Q) Should I continue to use something to aid this condition?
    (A) As indicated, unless the activities make the correction it is necessary. But if there is the proper use of the diet, as well as the vibratory forces from the Violet Ray and the mechanical forces from the osteopath, and the other applications as we have indicated, we should make better conditions in this direction.
    There should be the eliminations at least once or twice each day, especially when there is any form of disturbance in the superficial circulation.
19. (Q) When necessary to take an eliminant, what would be best?
    (A) As has been outlined for same!
20. (Q) Have I been too active - thus making the leg condition worse?
    (A) As we have indicated, the adverse reaction has been caused RATHER more by the leaving off of part of that outlined, and being a bit indiscreet in some of the diet.
21. (Q) Should I stay off my feet except for personal habits?
    (A) This is preferable whenever practical, but to stay off the feet and worry - you'd better be on your feet and do the worrying in other directions!
22. (Q) Any advice as to the mental attitude?
    (A) This should be the attitude, as has just been indicated.
23. We are through with this Reading.
