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, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1992]; this we have had before.
3. As we find, while conditions are somewhat improved from those as we have had here before, they are NOT as yet altogether satisfactory.
4. These as we find are caused by rather the complication of disturbances. While the irregularity and the disturbances arising from the Periods are the basis, we find that there are also other disturbances, - as to the assimilation and the digestion, the heart's activity, the pulsation, the metabolism, and the eliminations.
5. We find that there has not been the proper administration, at all times, of those suggestions for the mechanical (osteopathic) manipulations or adjustments.
6. As we find, it would be better accomplished under the direction of the osteopath in Raleigh; who would be much more in sympathy with the suggestions, and these may be given as directed through these channels, as well as being indicated by the examination for the body.
7. Rather than any specific directions, then, we would administer such corrective forces as to relieve the tension from the disturbances in the digestive system; coordinating the activities between the lungs, the liver, the heart, and the lower hepatic circulation; setting up the general drainages. These would be in keeping with that which will bring the better influences for the body.
8. At least twice between the periods of the menstrual flow we would use a weakened Atomidine solution in a douche; the proportions being a little more than half a teaspoonful of Atomidine to a quart and a half of body-temperature water. This should be used in a Fountain Syringe, and not in a force or pump syringe. We find that this will aid to keep down the irritation and to relieve the leucorrhea which at times causes a great deal of disturbance.
9. Also we would take internally the compound known as Tonicine, for the aid to the adjusting of the glandular forces as related to the disturbances here. This carries sufficient of the vitamin forces from the glandular extract of thyroid as well as the ovarian extract. We would take this rather in periods; that is, take for about four or five days, leave off for a like period, and then take again for some three or four times; that is, continue in this manner for some three or four of such series. The dosage would be according to the directions indicated upon the container, but take in series - in the manner indicated here.
10. Then, keep the feet dry; keep out of heavy drafts; keep in the open as much as practical; walking as the exercise.
11. The diets should be of those things that are strengthening, yet that are inclined to be more eliminating; as, - in the periods when the quantity of the citrus fruit juices are taken, also take some of prunes, or figs, or the syrups of these, or the preserves of these. These as we find will be most beneficial.
12. Do that.
13. Ready for questions.
14. (Q) What is the cause of my fatigue? Can it be eliminated by taking more vitamins? Please analyze the difficulty.
    (A) As indicated, this is rather a complication of disturbances, or a combination of causes - as indicated by the lack of the eliminations, the general strain upon the nervous system from the excretions or secretions that cause disturbance with the organs of the pelvis, and the general debilitation. Rather there should be more of these applications as indicated, than the excesses of any particular character of vitamins; though, as we find, the addition of the vitamin B-1 in the form as found in the cut oats cereal, and especially the whole wheat cracked cereal (both of these cooked very thoroughly in a double boiler, you see), will aid, - as will the eliminating of those general conditions in the manner indicated.
    Also we find that the strength-giving force as from the Knox Gelatine may be taken, either prepared in the dessert form or taken specifically - as stirred dry into orange juice and taken immediately, or the like. But let the system respond more, in the manner indicated, than attempting to supply concentrated vitamin forces. For, the system takes hold upon that which is assimilated for its general recuperative forces.
    Do that.
15. (Q) Has the drainage condition in the antrums and sinuses been improved by the treatments suggested? If not, what is the next step?
    (A) It has been somewhat improved, but will be MORE so when there is a change to the administrations by such an one as has just been suggested.
16. (Q) Is the heart functioning properly?
    (A) Read what we have indicated, and you will find that these conditions have been covered. This is a portion of the disturbance, yet not of such specific natures that it would not respond to the general manipulations in the manner indicated, and the applications to relieve the tensions through the system.
    Do those things outlined, if we would bring the better forces for this body, [1992].
17. (Q) Is there a meditation that can be used for building the body and keeping it in good condition? Please explain how this might be accomplished?
    (A) Just as the suggestions may be used that have been made to the body through some of the treatments outlined, - the MIND acts upon the resuscitating forces of the physical being, by and through suggestion. Just so there may be the realization that spiritual forces are a part of the whole physical being. For, the REAL being is the spiritual import, intent and purpose, see? Thus a meditation, a centralizing, a localizing of the mind upon those portions of the system affected, or upon the activities needed for the physical being, INFLUENCES, directs the principal forces of the system. And it does resuscitate, if kept in sincerity; not merely said as rote, but that said being put into practical application through the experiences and associations with others, - and especially this entity as it works with the developing minds, may see such reactions.
    In the meditations, then, OPEN the mind, the being, to the influences about same; surrounding self with the consciousness of the healing that is in the Christ-Consciousness, the Christ-awareness.
    Thus:
    LORD, USE THOU ME - MY BODY, MY MIND - IN SUCH A WAY AND MANNER THAT I, AS THY SERVANT, MAY FILL THOSE LIVES AND HEARTS AND MINDS I MEET - DAY BY DAY - WITH SUCH HOPE AND FAITH AND POWER IN THY MIGHT, THAT IT MAY BRING THE AWARENESS OF THY PRESENCE INTO THE EXPERIENCE OF OTHERS AS WELL AS MYSELF.
    Such as these will bring those forces and influences for helpful experiences for the body.
18. We are through for the present.
