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, [1553]; this we have had before.
As we find, conditions at the present vary from time to time; while in the main there are improvements in the physical forces of the body.
The complications that have existed are gradually, from time to time, being eliminated in some respects or to some extent.
While at times, owing to the mental response and the physical conditions and the weakened forces, these react to the old conditions, in the main there continues to be improvements.
We would continue, then, much of the same applications that have been indicated from time to time; meeting the varying circumstances with that necessary to supply those influences to meet the conditions as they come about.
Ready for questions.
(Q) What improvement, mentally, physically?
(A) As we find, as has been indicated, this varies. While in the main there ARE physical improvements, in the mental it has been rather the "come and go". For, there has not as yet been removed or absorbed sufficiently those pressures that first produced the disturbances for the body.
We would now use a great deal of the massage, especially in those areas through which the absorptions to the circulation through the brain forces may bring a better circulation. This as we find will aid the mental reactions in the body. This is in the areas of the upper cervicals, and particularly in the 2nd and 3rd dorsal centers; and when the treatments, massages or adjustments or stimulations are given to the nerve centers, by the pressures produced in the body, let them also be at the end of the spine, at the 9th dorsal AND the 3rd and 4th cervical, see?
(Q) What can we do to stop crying?
(A) This may only be accomplished as there is brought more and more reaction through the responses of the physical to the nerve forces of sensation, see? These depressions arise from the inability of coordinating the physical with the mental forces of the body, see? This has only been partially accomplished. This may be accomplished more by suggestion than by other treatments. Those physically as indicated would be the better in the present. Not that any of those properties taken or applied otherwise are to be left off, but do these PARTICULAR activities in the present.
(Q) How can we help discomfort of legs?
(A) The massage with the oil is the better manner.
(Q) What can we do to help mental condition, so she is willing to cooperate?
(A) Those applications specifically as indicated, that will aid in absorbing the pressures made in the brain, by the increasing of the circulation through those areas, see?
(Q) How can we help throat swallowing and speech?
(A) This is taken into consideration in the adjustments to be made in the specific areas of the cervical and upper dorsal; to prevent so much drying of same, so that it causes trouble with this activity of the esophagus as such is attempted.
(Q) Is elimination now enough for this body?
(A) Enough in the present, but as indicated and found from time to time, as the body is absorbing those properties given, and the scar tissue is formed or energy used up in the body, this has to be eliminated. Consequently, it is necessary for greater eliminations at times. In the present it is very well.
(Q) Can we increase Gold or any other treatment?
(A) We would not increase the Gold. We would increase the treatments to the physical points as indicated.
(Q) Should we encourage exercise, - she doesn't move by herself.
(A) There should be the encouraging of exercise as much as practical. This enables the nerves and impressions to locomotion to become an active force in the general conditions of the body, also aids in producing an activity through the circulation as is desired in the brain forces.
(Q) What can we give in concentrated form in place of vegetables, as it becomes very difficult to get her to eat them?
(A) There are those preparations where certain vitamins may be supplied that are necessary for the body. These may be given in such quantities or measures as compatible with the general conditions. These under the directions of the physician or a dietician may be supplied as the quantities are needed. However, these should not be relied upon entirely; for there must be foods assimilated, of course, and these are the better activities for the whole general system. But to meet the conditions the concentrated activities will aid in keeping the proper balance. A, D, E and G and B-1, all of these may be taken in such quantities as to not upset the system yet maintain a balance in the body.
(Q) What caused the intestinal disturbance? Was it hemorrhoids? Was the 100% whole wheat too rough?
(A) The whole wheat was too rough for non-activities in the body. This as we find caused the disturbance.
(Q) How much progress can we expect if we follow instructions?
(A) We may find fifty to seventy-five to ninety percent advance in the body becoming more normal again.
(Q) What wheat germ oil would be the best to use?
(A) That most easily absorbed in the system, as we find, is that prepared in the solution, NOT encased in other ingredients for the taking of same. We would take preferably that prepared by the Lawrence Laboratories.
(Q) What would be the proper diagnosis of this case?
(A) As we find, in the present it is a complication arising from the old conditions caused first by the breaking of cellular forces, producing spasmodic conditions, then plastic conditions in portions of the body, and partial paresis to the nerve forces and to brain centers.
Let all of the attitudes of those about the body, as well as those to be impressed upon the body, be as to its usefulness, its needs for better resistance and for the care and love in associations with all conditions.
We are through with this Reading.

REPORTS

1/19/42 Mr. [1561]'s letter:
Our very dear Edgar:
The "letter" is fine [1/08/42 See under 2678-1 Background]. May [...] and I enroll for the meditation & prayer. We TRY to do this each waking hour. 6 to sunrise - now - Yes, humanity in flesh & out - Certainly need guidance - if we'll listen! May stop off next week & say hello. Am starting off searching for Manganese or other strategic mineral. May reach Nevada & Arizona. Am ALONE in good car and good "rubber"! Wish you could go!
Meantime - why not "ask" for formula or what not to give America "rubber"! No $ involved - but a gift! If you received something tangible I'll get it to proper place. It might be mineral or vegetable. You'll get it IF we should have it!
Cheers & a warm handshake 'till I see you
1/19/42 (Monday) Dr. Wm. Taylor's letter to EC:
Telephone ORange 3-8608 Licensed - South Carolina Registered - South Carolina
Dr. William D. Taylor 29 Maple Terrace East Orange, New Jersey
Dear Edgar,
With a sincere conviction that good is synonymous with God, I pledge myself with others in the Association to daily prayer for Divine guidance.
May love soon triumph in the hearts of men that we may again be drawn closer to a consciousness of God.
Faithfully, [signed] Bill Taylor
3/19/42 Phone request by Mrs. [...]: "We are panicky; this dropsical condition started in her hands, and is now going up her legs. It is spreading rapidly. If you can get the Rdg. today, phone me tonight collect. If you can get it tomorrow, phone me tomorrow night collect. Thank you. Love to everybody."
3/20/42 Phone request again: "These will probably all be answered, but if not, ask for present physical condition, with suggestions for the relief of the dropsical condition, etc., and these others - phoning me right after the Rdg. if urgent, or after 7 tonight anyway, at ... collect." 1. What can we do for this dropsical condition? 2. What are the causes of this, and how can spreading be prevented? 3. Please give corrective measures for kidneys? Constipation? 4. What about diet - as she is sick at her stomach? How much liquid a day and what liquid is best? Should drinks be forced? 5. Are enemas and irrigations alright to give? 6. Should we keep up all former treatments at this time?
3/20/42 See 1553-27.
