TEXT

1. HLC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body. You will answer the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes.
3. Now, as we find, there are disturbing conditions that prevent the better normal functionings. These - as to cause - go back some years; when there was a series of disturbances from malaria and a fever that upset the activity of the whole hepatic circulation, affecting the activities in relationships to the whole of the intestinal assimilation, and the conditions through colon.
4. These for some period have kept the body in a state where at times disturbances arose causing disorder with the liver, again with some of the activities of the kidneys and bladder, and at other periods the general debilitation causing a FORM of anemia.
5. In the present, these find expression rather in a condition through the colon, - as a plethora in the transverse and toward the caecum area, with a prolapsus in the descending and portions of the transverse area.
6. The effects have been quite varied upon the organs of the body, as has been indicated, - producing an irregularity at times of the circulation, pulsation, and periods when the body suffers with the back and with those conditions through the head and the like, as well as a great irritation through portions of the intestinal system, especially in the lower portion of the sphincter centers.
7. All of these, as we find, are a portion of the disturbance, arising from those conditions as indicated in the first premise, - the fever, the malaria, and the conditions with same.
8. We find that these may be aided; but it will require careful persistence, and an adherence to a diet that tends to build for the body greater resistances AS the system is purified and as there are the tendencies for building up or replenishing the energies, in a revitalizing of the whole of the body-force itself.
9. As we find, then:
10. First we would give that there be taken the general hydrotherapy treatments, - as the Sweat Baths, the Colonics, the Massages and Rubs, - until there is little or no mucous indicated in the stools from the irrigations.
11. The Cabinet Sweats and Massages we would have about once a week, - the Sweats followed by the general massages, rather than corrections, made by a masseur or masseuse, you see; with particular reference to the sacral-lumbar area, but coordinating the upper dorsals and cervicals with same - that is, in the latter portion of such massages.
12. The Colonic irrigations would not be given too often, but when they are used - use some oil as a part of the injections, such as Russian White Oil, Nujol, or the like. In the last water used, after there has been the general cleansing, you see, let there be used an intestinal antiseptic, - such as Glyco-Thymoline or such natures.
13. Also we find that the low electrical forces of the Radio-Active Appliance would be most beneficial in equalizing the circulation through the body.
14. In the matter of the diets, - keep away from too much of meats; though fish and fowl may be taken in moderation; but no fried foods ever. Eggs may be a part of the diet, but preferably only the yolks - or if prepared as a whole, let these be scrambled rather than prepared in other ways. Have plenty of fruits and vegetables, - the fresh rather than dried foods such as beans or the like - keep away from these. Plenty of fresh vegetables, fresh fruits, - raw as well as cooked, - these will be the better.
15. Milk should be a part of the diet, - but preferably buttermilk or the PREPARED milk, - rather than the raw milk or sweet milk itself.
16. After the system has been purified, - that is, after having the cabinet sweats, the massages and the colonic irrigations for a few weeks, - we find it would be well to add the vitamins as may be found in ADIRON. When beginning these, take two pellets each day, - preferably with the noon and the evening meals, see?
17. Do these, and as we find we will bring the better conditions for this body.
18. Ready for questions.
19. We are through for the present.
