TEXT

1. EC: Yes. A great many changes have come to this body since last we had same here. A great many advantageous conditions in the development for the general activities of the body, and yet some local conditions have become activative in the physical forces, especially in the blood flow through the system in relationships to the activity of the eliminations and distributions through the system.
2. As we find if there were applied the Radio-Active Appliance forces to keep the extremities and the circulatory forces nearer to normal, these tendencies for accumulations should be reduced.
3. And with the rubs for the general eliminations, especially from the centers and areas in the upper dorsal and cervical forces, these conditions should be eliminated from the body. Preferably such rubs as we find would be osteopathically given.
4. The vibrations from the Radio-Active Appliance should be at least an hour each evening, just before retiring. Keep the plates or anodes very clean before applying.
5. To make for these applications would be the better conditions for this body.
6. Ready for questions.
7. (Q) Is there a cure?
   (A) As we find these will aid in making for nearer normal conditions.
8. (Q) Has diet anything to do with condition?
   (A) The diet of the body should be at least eighty percent alkalin-producing to twenty percent acid-producing. These as we find - with the cleansing of the system occasionally with the enemas for the overcoming of that tendency in the caecum area for packs to form - would be assistants in removing the condition.
9. (Q) Has climate anything to do with condition?
   (A) At times, it does. For this body a higher, warmer climate would be more preferable.
10. (Q) Do you think the Mayo Clinic treatment would help?
    (A) This possibly would aid. These as we find as indicated would be the greater help in the present.
11. (Q) Is she sensitive to any outside influences?
    (A) As has been indicated for the body previously, it is supersensitive to any conditions that surround the body of an unusual nature or that make for the directing of the attentions to those conditions that may disturb or are active with the forces of the body.
    Hence the applications of that which quiets and makes for a more normal circulation, aiding in the nervous forces, cleansing the activities of the glandular system (through the Radio-Active Appliance) will be helpful.
12. (Q) Why does it strike face and ears first?
    (A) This is because the circulation to the upper portion is hindered in the upper dorsal and cervical area, as has been indicated, that needs the attention of drainages FROM same rather than towards same (through the osteopathic treatments).
13. (Q) Is any local treatment suggested for the condition on the face?
    (A) This as we find needs the equalizing of the circulation so that the causes of same are carried off through the system, rather than allowed to accumulate in the circulation through the lymph and those portions of the body that are hindered by subluxations in the areas indicated. And with the equalizing of the circulation these effects would clear. To make applications externally only adds to that which is to be ridded from the system.
14. (Q) How often should the osteopathic manipulations be given?
    (A) For two weeks every other day, rest a week, then for two weeks more. These should make for such changes as is indicated would be helpful for the condition and for the body generally.
15. (Q) Any further suggestions for this body?
    (A) As we would find, if there is the consistent and persistent following of these - the Radio-Active vibrations, the manipulations osteopathically and the enemas - the infectious activity through this humor between the assimilating and the distributing forces will correct self.
    Just because there are the general eliminations from the alimentary canal, do not neglect to use the enemas to cleanse the system from the SOURCE of the infectious forces for the condition. These as we find should be not hot but just the temperature of the body, and in each enema put at least for each quart and a half of water a level teaspoonful of soda and a heaping teaspoonful of salt. Dissolve this thoroughly before it is used. Do not use HIGH colonics but GRADUALLY - with the Fountain Syringe - use that to cleanse the colon area.
16. We are through with this reading.

REPORTS

1. 11/38 Letter from [2884]'s father: "I regret delay in acknowledging your letter of Nov. 15 for reasons beyond my control.
   "I assume I was too cowardly or upset to follow your rdgs. of my daughter (given approximately 10 yrs. ago) possibly to my deepest regret.
   "I would like another rdg. for [2884], my daughter and [5423] my wife.
   "Really I can afford to spend very little only because everything including my business has gone towards Hospitals, Doctors and medicine...
   P.S. I will listen in on W.O.R. on Sunday, Dec. 4th at 2:30 EST (HLC's broadcast, MYSTERIES OF THE MIND.)"
2. 12/38 Questions: What causes her extreme THINNESS? What can be done to straighten her POSTURE? Are her menstrual periods normal? What treatment would you prescribe for her HAIR and SCALP? MAINLY what causes the ITCHING and SORES on her ARMS, BODY and LEGS? What do you suggest as the CORRECT DIET? Is there a PERMANENT CURE and will it take long to cure? Are CIGARETTES harmful to her condition and do they cause her SHORTNESS of BREATH?
