TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with further suggestions for corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2376] this we have had before.
3. As we find, there is a great improvement in the general physical forces of the body. While there are some tendencies still existent, these show a great improvement. And with the proper precautions and the care, these should continue to keep the body in a much better physical reaction.
4. There are still some tendencies at times for the nerves of the stomach to relapse. And this, combined with some strain through the eyes, causes headaches.
5. This needs, then, that there be a change made with the glasses, and that there be the occasional thorough osteopathic treatment to CONTINUE this expansion of the muscular forces, which has prevented the proper digestion through the stomach itself. While this is in better condition, better position, better elasticity in same, these need the reactions to prevent this recurrence; as do the lesions that have been indicated as existent through the abdominal area as related to certain centers through the spinal system. While these have been relaxed, and the body is responding, there needs to be those treatments indicated that these do not of themselves re-adhere or cause such irritations as to set up the disturbing forces again through the body.
6. We would continue now, periodically, the B-1 Complex tablets, - that is, we would take them say for ten days, and then leave off for five, and then take ten days again, and so on, - to make for a better balancing of the energies necessary for the general activities of the body.
7. Keep the correct mental attitude; that is, not holding grudges, being kind, being affectionate, long suffering, manifesting patience - which is required at times with those conditions about the body. But keep creative ever in the activities.
8. This, too:
9. Be GLAD you have the opportunity to be alive at this time, and to be a part of that preparation for the coming influences of a spiritual nature that MUST rule the world. These are indicated, and these are part of thy experience. Be happy of it, and give thanks daily for it.
10. In the matter of the diet, - keep this very well balanced in all the reinforced foods, - or flour and cereals, use those especially. Use fish, fowl and lamb principally, if meats are taken. Use leafy vegetables rather than the pod, and those that grow more above the ground than those that grow under the ground. For this particular body, however, take the Irish potato rather often, but eat the jackets with the potato, - whether roasted or boiled, eat the peel with it, and you will keep a better activity through the glandular forces, that will keep a better balance in the system.
11. Ready for questions.
12. (Q) What is cause and relief for the aching in and around the left ear?
    (A) The balance of the circulation through the head and face has not fully caught its equilibrium. Thus with some attention that needs to be given to some of the teeth, locally, this with the manipulation should gradually clear these disturbances.
13. (Q) What can I do to have my tonsils in a more normal condition?
    (A) Use an acid gargle of morning and an alkaline gargle of an evening. These as we find will aid in keeping a better balance with the reestablished circulation as indicated through the mechanical manipulation along the spine.
    These are the directions for the osteopath:
    Keep the areas of the lumbar and sacral in alignment. DO give stimulating treatments to the centers from the 5th dorsal to the 1st cervical. These will aid in making for better conditions. Also stimulate especially the 5th dorsal center for the activities to the openings from the duodenum and the stomach to the alimentary canal.
14. (Q) Should any of the teeth be removed or fixed?
    (A) As indicated, there should be some local attention to some of the teeth. None as we find need really removing, but with the better diet these may be prepared or rearranged in such manners as to be of mighty good use - and good use can be put to them.
15. (Q) Please give specific teeth that need attention.
    (A) Let the dentist do something!
16. (Q) Has the condition of my gums been helped by the use of Ipsab?
    (A) By Ipsab as well as by diet. Keep this up.
17. (Q) Have the osteopathic treatments, that I've had given by Dr. Irvin, been helpful to me, especially thru my right shoulder and back?
    (A) If they hadn't, we wouldn't tell him to give some more!
18. (Q) Is there any way I can aid myself at home to lessen these pains?
    (A) These most will be by the MIND, and by the attitude that is taken towards things and peoples also.
19. We are through with this Reading.
