TEXT

1. EC: Yes.
2. Now as we find regarding the physical forces of this body, the suggestions would be rather for precautions and regulations regarding tendencies and inclinations; rather than there being such great specific disturbances at this time.
3. These are conditions as we find them with this body in the present, Mrs. [1582]:
4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this as we find indicates there are times or periods when there is the inclination for the unbalancing between the activities of the assimilating system; and thus a little irregularity exists at times (not always) in the pulsation.
5. And the character of these disturbances would indicate that there is the inclination for the activity of the pancreas and the spleen to allow too much production of sugar; or the inclination is in that direction.
6. Hence we find at times there are the inclinations for the activities of the lower hepatic circulation or kidneys to become irregular.
7. Thus precautions should be taken in those directions, as to the very nature and the activity of same.
8. But DO NOT take injections for such! as we find, but rather that as may be an activity through the assimilating forces of the system from elements that would make for a nearer normal balance.
9. These inclinations also as we find in a reflex nature produce the inclination for toxic forces through the lower portion of the abdominal area, or a slowing of conditions through the colon.
10. Thus there are periods when the body easily becomes fagged, or too easily. And we have the inclinations for the lower limbs, from these disturbances, to give the little reactions of the natures such that they become heavy and inclined to go to sleep as it were, or become as numb or asleep as the inclinations arise.
11. These are not always, but are periods of reaction.
12. THE NERVOUS SYSTEM, this AT those periods when there are effects of the pressure becomes a portion of the disturbing activities, from the general activities of the system as we find. The causes do not lie in those directions but rather the effect of same is upon the nervous system, or the activities of the system as related one portion to another are as warnings to the rest of the body as to the factors that are the disturbing elements within the physical forces of the body.
13. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, as indicated, as we find, these are very good, save for the inclinations that produce the disturbances in the circulation, the irregularity to the respiratory reactions and the heart's action, as well as the organs of the assimilation - in their reaction to disturbances in the body.
14. AS WE FIND, THEN, IN MAKING CORRECTIONS FOR THE BODY:
15. There should be precautions taken as to diet and as to activity.
16. Beware of too great a quantity of any foods where sugars are in excess, or of taking milk (or cream) in tea or coffee, or of too great a quantity of starches as combined with fats or proteins.
17. Not that these (sugars, proteins, fats) are not to be a part of the diet, but beware of combinations of these.
18. Once or twice a week have in the diet the Jerusalem artichoke; one the size of a hen egg or a little larger would be sufficient - once or twice a week. This would be preferably boiled as a potato; boiled in its OWN juices, or cooked in Patapar Paper so that none of the properties are lost that are effective in their activity through the system itself.
19. We would also have rather regularly the Hydrotherapy treatments that would enable the system to be relieved of poisons through the alimentary canal, by the use of the high enemas for cleansing the colon - and then the GENERAL massage as would go with same.
20. And with these precautions and activities as indicated, we should find better conditions for this body.
21. There will be material aid to the effects of the nervous pressures at times upon organs of the sensory system as related to taste, hearing, sight, and the nominal, normal reaction between sympathetic and cerebrospinal system as related to the organs of the sensory forces.
22. Ready for questions.
23. We are through for the present.
