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.
3. As we find, conditions vary according to the temperament of the body, as well as the environs that are made about the body; so that the sympathetic reactions indicate very much not only the attitude of the entity but of those about the entity.
4. There are still those questions, as we find indicated here, regarding the eliminations.
5. As we find, and as has been indicated, with any laxative it usually begins to lose its efficacy as it is used from time to time; unless there is the attempt to give those reactions that will aid in ADJUSTING better peristaltic movement.
6. From the amount of the mucous indicated, this (the peristaltic movement) is almost nil with this body.
7. Hence it is well that the character of eliminant be changed from time to time. A base that is of a vegetable nature, or of senna or its derivatives, is very well. More efficacy may be found for this body, of a LONGER period, with Senna Leaves Tea. This may be taken for a period of a week. Even with the giving of this, if it is necessary to use the colon irrigation to have the evacuations, use it!
8. Then when there is a change from same, use a phenolphthalein base; any of the pellets of this nature. Alophen carries same, as we find, and is also a stimulant that will be most effective and helpful for this body. When there are the periods of not using the senna tea, or when it has lost some of its value, then give one or two of the Alophen pills; giving or using the irrigations with same, if necessary.
9. BUT - stimulate, with the manipulations and pressures, those centers along the cerebrospinal system that aid in STIMULATING peristaltic movements; the 4th and 6th and 8th and 9th dorsals, - all of these will aid, if these are played upon almost as the pressures are made for the activities through the system.
10. And then keep the other applications, - that is, when necessary, - as the Soda or the Tartaric Acid Packs, the Gold Solutions, etc., and these will aid in better activity and reaction.
11. Do that.
12. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) Should we go back to the original Reading in regard to 2 grains of Gold to an ounce instead of 1 grain to an ounce?
    (A) The one grain is sufficient, if the other properties and applications are given, - and will be better for the system.
14. (Q) What has caused the kidney upset?
    (A) This is as much from the diet as anything else, AND the mental attitudes of conditions about the body. These as we find, the little upsets, are necessary at times - to eliminate the poisons that are stirred in the system.
15. (Q) Is there too much protein in her diet?
    (A) This may be, or SHOULD be altered, - or changed to more of the fluids in the diet.
16. (Q) Is the mucous in the colon an accumulation, or is she making it all the time?
    (A) As indicated, this is the indication of the lack of peristaltic movements. It is an accumulation, AND naturally it inclines to increase all along. Hence the necessity for the manner of eliminations so that this may not only be removed but that it may be kept from being progressive; by the pressures in the centers and areas indicated, so that it may be eliminated.
17. We are through with this Reading.
