TEXT

1. GC: 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; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2848].
3. As we find, there are disturbances the correction of which would make for the much nearer normal physical reactions.
4. We find that these are rather a complication of disturbances. Some are of a pathological nature, and some are psychological. But with the correction of the pathological conditions, the psychological effect upon the physical body may be the more easily corrected.
5. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [2848].
6. In the blood supply there are indications of the hindrances in the perfect nerve and blood supply coordination. Thus toxic forces result, not only from the poisons that are left in the body from the poor eliminations of same, but with those subluxations that exist along the spinal system so slowing up the energies that are supplied ordinarily through the nerve forces to organs and functioning of same, there is this tired, nervous condition of unrest through the body.
7. Thus gradually the energies of the body, as well as the energies of the mind, are wearing down.
8. Thus we find there are the needs of revitalizing the body. This might be better accomplished through the combination of hydrotherapy, part electrotherapy and massage. These as we find should be consistently used, or NOT used at all. For, to do part and leave part undone may work a greater hardship for the body than not doing anything. For, not doing anything the body still resists, and may drag along, but will continue until the body breaks down, - possibly mentally as well as physically.
9. But with the corrections, we may have a revitalized, a reenergized body. For, the conditions are such that these measures may be helpful if they are consistently used.
10. First, begin with having at least once a week a good, thorough hydrotherapy treatment. This would include a light sweat, a thorough rubdown with the pine oils, and occasionally - about twice a month - a high colonic irrigation, to cleanse the colon and the poisons from the system. Once or twice a week have a good neuropathic or osteopathic massage, and for this body these should be stimulating treatments, especially in the areas from the 3rd and 4th dorsal to the 1st and 2nd cervical, and then a thorough massage - with some stimulations through the lumbar and sacral areas.
11. These as we find will bring about better coordination, relieve nerve tensions, making for better activity and better abilities for the body to respond.
12. Do not overeat fats, but DO take vitalized foods. But do not begin with any special vitamins until the body has been thoroughly cleansed - until, from the colonics, there is little or no indication of mucous in the colon areas. Then take Vitamin B Complex, one a day. These will revitalize the energies for the body.
13. Then the mental attitudes:
14. To be sure, with the general feeling of disturbance, everything oft upsets and the body tends to nag or to dispute with the associates and those activities about the body. The body should refrain from these.
15. And (not that there are not to be discriminations made, but from the spiritual angle), as ye would that others should do to you, do ye so to them; whether they comply with your idea of return feelings or activities or not! There will be a change in attitude IF SELF is first correct in its own attitude and activity!
16. Do these as indicated, - consistently, persistently, - and we will soon find improvements in the physical forces and in the environs, and in the purposes and outlook of the body.
17. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. 11/08/42 Questions:
   I am somewhat worried about my health. Why does my husband insist on constantly belittling me before our servants, friends and hotel guests? Can I prevent him from being so stingy, after I have helped him earn all we have? Is there anything better in store for me soon?
