TEXT

GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions he has submitted, as I ask them:
EC: Yes, we have the body here.
As we find, conditions are not so well. There is the continued disturbance of the pressure as produced by the accumulations of the active forces in the body, and - pressing upon the diaphragm - this, as it begins the disintegrating of the active abilities of assimilation, tends to make for greater weakness yet.
In giving any helpful force in the present, would be only that as may be a palliative or as an easing for the activities, as to cause the disturbance or distress to be lessened as much as practical WITHOUT giving any hindrance to the activities of the replenishing forces.
As we find, if it is possible for the body to inhale more, we may increase the Brandy, - or if this is put in water and boiled or steamed, - or boiling water and let the steam rise about the body, this will ease the respiratory reaction and will not hinder in any activities of the system. The proportions would be a teaspoonful of the Brandy to a pint of water being boiled, see? This should be done whenever there is a choking or a lack of the ability to get the breath properly.
The allaying influences or juices for the digestive force tend now to irritate. Yet, if these are given in a smaller quantity and a little more often, they still may aid in allaying, and will be a helpful influence for the fluids of the body. Hence we would give this every hour, but half the quantity.
We would increase to those foods, now, as to WHATEVER is desired; just so they are not those things that may not be digested at all.
These as we find are the better for the body in the present.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Why does the temperature continue, after the fluid has been drawn off?
(A) It's accumulating again, from the lack of the ability of the system to throw it off.
(Q) Will I ever be able to get rid of the fluid and have the use of my right lung again?
(A) This will depend, of course, upon the responses the body makes to the administrations for helpful forces. Unless there is a great change for the better, little may be gained through this present experience in the way of CURATIVES.
(Q) Has the fluid increased since it was drawn off?
(A) Increased in its LOCALIZING.
(Q) Is the loss of weight any sign that I am getting worse?
(A) It shows the signs of the lack of resistance, and - of course - the less there is of resistance the less strength there is to throw off those poisons as produced by the activity of the infectious forces through the body.
(Q) Why do I belch my food and have the sour stomach?
(A) The lack of the gastric juices to work with the food forces.
Use a little Alcaroid after any heavy meal, or if within an hour afterward there is the belching. Or every hour apart (not oftener) a little Alcaroid stirred in water and taken will help to allay this belching and tend to make for the passing of same through the system in a better condition.
(Q) Will I be able to eat anytime soon?
(A) This depends upon the response of the body to those conditions indicated.
(Q) Will I gain back the weight?
(A) This again depends upon the ability of assimilation to be brought about in the system.
(Q) Is there anything that can be done to enable me to feel better and sleep better?
(A) As just indicated, - these foods and their activities should make for the feeling better.
(Q) Any other suggestion at this time?
(A) Keep the attitudes of hopefulness, of course, - these are the better.
The response will depend, of course, upon the abilities of the system to hold the strength as may be attained by assimilations. Do as has been indicated for the better forces.
