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 which may be submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1625].
3. As we find, conditions are a great deal better than those we have had here before.
4. There are still some of those disturbances in the lacteal and umbilical area, that hinder the glandular forces in creating better development of the coordination between the mental and the reflex activities from same.
5. Hence, as we find, it would be well that there be kept the Oil Packs occasionally, - even when there are not those periods of the disturbing between the impulse and the activities or the balance through the activity of the pituitary glandular forces; that the lesions may be entirely removed. These have been broken, but the effects and their reaction upon the system are still apparent.
6. Also we would be mindful of the diet. Not that these are to be the only foods, but there should be an abundance especially of steel cut oats, that are well cooked, but cooked in such a manner as to maintain all the vital forces of vitamins, and especially those activities from same that are to create betterment in the glandular reactions.
7. Then we would also have an abundance of okra in the diet, and - as soon as these may be had - the tubers of oyster plant [salsify]. These carry especially that vital force necessary to add to the system the properties necessary to create a normal balance. They carry, or add, Dilantin - which is that activity which MAKES for or produces the balance between the coordinating forces of impulses and activity in the nerve forces of the body.
8. We would have the massages occasionally along the spine with the equal combination of Olive Oil and Peanut Oil, especially across the shoulders, back of the neck and across the lumbar AND sacral areas. These should be given especially after taking the Oil Packs, or if the body becomes overheated, or when there are the inclinations for cold or congestion.
9. Do these and as we find we may bring, and we may keep, a better normal development for this body, [1625].
10. Ready for questions.
11. (Q) What makes him so irritable at times?
    (A) As just indicated, the tendency for those congested areas - or where the lesions have been - to produce in the nerve forces of the body that inability of coordination.
12. (Q) How often would you suggest that the Oil Packs be given?
    (A) At least give these for a couple of days every twenty-seventh day.
13. (Q) Any further advice for the body?
    (A) If we will do these, we will keep the better mental and physical development for this body.
14. We are through with this Reading.

REPORTS

1. 7/39 In Eighth Annual Congress booklet HLC reported:
   "The Physical Readings were discussed by two individuals who had experienced help in following personal readings, and next by two doctors.
   "Miss [951] described her experiences - Mrs. [...] reported her experiences in following a reading on her son [1625] who was afflicted with epilepsy. Both of these cases had been examined and treated by numerous physicians before help through the readings was sought. In both of these cases the analyses of the conditions and the suggested treatments were accurate and effective.
   "Dr. Curtis Hudgins of Norfolk, Va. - Dr. Frank Dobbins from New York."
