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 - conditions are very much improved from that as we have had here before.
3. However, there is still the lack of the abilities for the digestive forces to assimilate the foods which have been taken nominally; or rather it is the manner in which the foods are prepared.
4. As we find, especially over some week-end - and the sooner the better - there should be taken the Castor Oil Packs again over the gall duct and the CAECUM area; through the appendicial area, see?
5. While the manipulations in general have been very good, and have been effective, we find that a few more of these are needed - or WHENEVER there is the inclination for a great heaviness or tiredness, or the bearing down through the abdominal area, there needs to be a stimulation for the centers from the impulse for the EMPTYING of the stomach originally, or the upper dorsal and even a portion of the cervical and down to the 9th dorsal. Then a kneading a bit of the abdomen, that there may be the stimulation of the activity of the lymph flow through the whole of the system. Such a manipulation would be given each time, you see.
6. In the matter of the diet - not too much of those rough foods, or that make only for weight; but more of those that are easily assimilated. While a little of the raw, fresh vegetables should be a part of the diet sometime during EVERY day, DO NOT eat spinach or curly mustard or the like - these do not agree with the body in the present. Have plenty of citrus fruit juices, or at other times the whole wheat or cracked wheat is MOST efficacious for the body, if it is cooked well - for it has the vitamines of the wheat germ in same; and you do not destroy that by cooking in the proper way and manner.
7. If these are kept we should make for better conditions.
8. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) Are the conditions under which I am rooming, at ... Ave., best for me at this time, or should I make a change?
   (A) If the body takes it as a hardship, it is bad. If the body will use same to advantageous conditions, the environment is well. This depends altogether on the attitude of the body.
10. (Q) How much of the Acigest should be taken at a time?
    (A) Not more than half a teaspoonful. This ONLY, of course, in RAW milk! Do not attempt to take it in other then RAW milk, or it will be more harmful than beneficial!
11. (Q) What are the conditions of the body at this time?
    (A) As just indicated.
12. (Q) Any other advice at this time?
    (A) Do these, as we find for the present.
13. We are through for the present.
