TEXT

1. HLC: 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:
2. EC: Yes.
3. As we find, so long as there is the adherence in a consistent manner to those suggestions which have been indicated, there are better conditions.
4. Naturally, the recurrent reactions of the pressures indicated, and the effects necessarily arising from the administration of such characters that have been administered at times, cause a general weakness and the inclination for further blocking in the circulatory forces, the heart's activity, the eliminations, and the general reactions from the system.
5. Then, as we find, - if there will be the careful following of those administrations as we have indicated, - the osteopathic manipulations occasionally to set up the drainage and to keep down the increased pressures, as well as keeping up the necessary eliminations, - we will find the bettered conditions for this body.
6. Ready for questions.
7. (Q) What can be used to neutralize acid in stomach?
   (A) DON'T take it in the stomach! Use those things indicated as a neutralizer, by keeping the more alkaline diet! When fats are added, and the other disturbing forces, these naturally upset the system and there are the natural reactions and the acid arising from the general weakened conditions.
   Of course, any digestant will aid, that includes in same any form of the lactics as an aid to eliminations and to counteract acid. Alcaroid or Bi-So-Dol, - either of these if kept in comparison to the needs of the conditions, when these conditions arise, will aid.
8. (Q) What will heal the rawness in stomach?
   (A) DON'T put it there, first! The rawness in stomach is from the ACIDITY!
   These questions are too confusing to what has been given!
   If there is the desire that this be met, then eliminate the CAUSES of same, - by using MORE of the alkalizers than the acids!
9. (Q) Why does the heart race when I take nourishment?
   (A) It increases the very activity, as we have indicated.
   Do as we have outlined!
10. We are through with this Reading.
