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, we have the body here.
3. As we find, congestion, lack of vitality, has caused a disturbance with this body.
4. We would have, now, the massages along the spine of evenings with Cocoa Butter; from the head to the center - or to the 9th dorsal, and from the end of the spine up to the 9th dorsal; this in a rotary motion on either side. Then at the area of the 9th dorsal massage rather deeply, but not pressing so much as to cause the segments to give or to stretch too much; but reach this, then encircling the body along the area of the diaphragm, with the massage.
5. Then, being careful of the diet, and adding the Vitamins B-1, we will build resistances here that will materially aid the body.
6. We would take the vitamins in the regular addition to the diet, in the form of the B-Complex vitamins found in Zyrone. This will add iron as well as the B-Complex for building resistances for the body.
7. (Q) What should be done for the cough, and how can a return of this condition be prevented?
   (A) The massages and rubs. Most of this in the present comes from the stomach, and - as the applications are made - the sources or causes will disappear. This is not an immediate stopping, but will relieve the causes and sources of the disturbance.
8. (Q) What should be done for the irritation caused by the urine?
   (A) This, again, as we find, is taken into consideration by the very nature and sources where the applications are to be made. This is the increase in the acidity in the body forces.
   And with the activities of the digestive forces by the addition of resistances, we will create - with the rubs - the better coordination between the liver and kidney circulation. If it is cared for, this is not something to be anxious about in the present. That's why the whole body should be massaged, and especially at the 9th dorsal as indicated.
9. (Q) Is the condition contagious?
   (A) No.
10. (Q) At my last illness, my mother and I prayed together that I be healed, according to the promise of Jesus in Matthew 18:19. Please advise if our attempt in this respect had any effect, as it was several days before I got better. What should be the attitude when the desire is for healing?
    (A) This is not an outward expression; it is rather the soul seeking. Not for a demonstration but that His power, His will be done; and this brings the demonstration. This may be hard to be put into words, but it is as the expression of affection, or love - for it is a manifestation of same. There IS the desire deep within every atom of the body. It is such that attunes the vibrations of body to the spiritual love, see? Not as the desire merely for affection, not as the desire merely for a demonstration, but that SELF be used by same. That should be the attitude of each.
11. (Q) Any further suggestions for the general good health of the body?
    (A) If these are followed, especially at this time, we will find we will bring much bettered conditions for this body.
12. We are through for the present.
