TEXT

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:
EC: Yes, we have the body here.
As we find, there are disturbing conditions that have prevented the best normal physical functioning.
There is rather a compound or complex condition. Much of the disturbance is of a psychopathic as well as of a physiological nature, - producing, in this combination, the high nervous tension which exists and that has caused the weakness through the system.
The stresses under which the body has labored have produced the disturbance, because of the lack of the vital energies necessary to produce the normal reaction of that assimilated.
Thus there has been a reduction in the red blood supply, and especially that plasm in same that produces the reaction for better nerve forces of the body.
Then, with the lack of these energies being supplied to those centers or ganglia associated in the larger centers between sympathetic and cerebrospinal system, the body has "given way" to the high emotions under which it has labored at times - because of these strains from the lack of sufficient nerve supply.
Hence the hallucinations, in a manner, or the imaginative forces, and the feelings of resentment or conditions of despair - for self and associates and the like.
All of these become a part of the general physical as well as mental reactions that exist with the body.
If there will be the administrations made as outlined here, we find that there may be a much better, a much nearer normal condition; and the responding will be rather early, or in a few applications a much better condition may be seen.
We would prepare two compounds, - to be entirely separate and to be given at separate times. These are the chemical reactions needed for the body.
Prepare a Gold Solution in the proportions of one grain Chloride of Gold to one ounce of Distilled Water. This would be one solution.
Then prepare a solution of two grains Bromide of Soda to one ounce of Distilled Water.
Every other day, the dosage would be two minims (drops) of the Gold Solution and four minims (drops) of the Bromide of Soda Solution, stirred together in half a glass of water and taken immediately. Do not let it set long before taking it, after the putting together of the two solutions, you see.
Prepare another compound in this manner:
To 1 ounce of Elixir of Lactated Pepsin as the carrier, add - in the order named:
The dosage of this would be a teaspoonful twice a day, but only every other day - and the opposite days from taking the Gold and Soda Solutions, see?
Each day, preferably of an evening, massage the body thoroughly with Pure Peanut Oil. Make special reference to that area in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th dorsal, and that area across the sacral. Use all the Peanut Oil that the body will absorb. Not that there is to be so much of corrections or cracking of bones or the like, but massage all that the body will absorb by a thorough massage.
As to the diet:
Keep away from any carbonated waters.
Keep away from white breads.
Have plenty of citrus fruits, the dry milks, both raw and cooked vegetables.
NO fried foods!
Fish, fowl or lamb, or any of wild game, are best for the body as the meats.
After the second or third dosage of both the Gold-Soda and the Valerian compounds, we find it would be well to have a high enema or a cleansing of the colon - to aid in eliminating the poisons. Also the effects of the properties taken will then be much more beneficial.
Do these, and we will soon bring much bettered conditions for this body, [2469].
Ready for questions.
(Q) Any suggestions for handling the nervousness of the body?
(A) All of these things suggested are for handling the nervousness. Not only are those properties in the compounds indicated for the nerve forces but the massages also.
Do as we have indicated; but make the self - in thought, in activity - not only good, but good FOR something; and forget any of the crosses or disturbances.
We are through for the present.
