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, [2982].
3. In analyzing the physical disturbances with this body, it may appear that most everything would or could be the matter with this body. Yet conditions will be brought nearer to normal with the corrections for the supply of energies to the central nerve and blood supply, without disturbing the equilibrium between the spiritual, the mental and physical bodies.
4. Such corrections may increase the weight of the body to near normal. This may be expected. Hence if this is not desired as a part of the whole condition of the body, better let 'em alone. For there needs to be a correction also in these directions. Not that the body would become a heavyweight, but several pounds may be put on and it will make much better conditions for the whole body.
5. Then, these are conditions as we find with this body physically:
6. As indicated, disturbances exist between heart, lungs, liver and kidneys. These are not the sources of the disturbance, but these are the organs being affected in the present. These are unbalanced conditions. Thus we have some irregularity at times to the heart's activity. Again we have an upsetting of the digestive system, so that - through the duodenum and the jejunum - there are those inclinations for foods not to be properly digested. There is a lacking in the chemical balance of the system. This produces a form or type of anemia. This upsetting also causes the disturbance at times to the kidneys, when there are those inabilities of the kidneys to have proper eliminations, owing to the disturbance in the liver circulation from chemical reactions in the body. Thus a drain on the thyroids, causing the adrenals to be a disorder. Thus the conditions of puffiness under eyes, at times the feeling of a disturbed condition in the joints of fingers, in the limbs, even in the veins along portions of the superficial circulation.
7. Then combine with this now, from the mental, the attempts of the body at times to control the emotional centers with the mental forces, and we have these irregularities coming to the central portion of the body - pains under the shoulder blades, stiffness through the neck; even the feet become numb at times. All of these arise from this unbalanced condition.
8. As we find there is a lack of hydrochloric acid in the body forces. This causes those tendencies for acidity at times, a heaviness, a feeling as of flatness - not from the exterior, but a feeling of flatness through lungs and throat, tendency for clearing the throat, dimness to the eyes, and the high emotional reactions. There is also a lack of the proper balance through the system for the calcium that aids in equalizing the activities of the glandular forces as related to the circulation as supplied through ends of nerve and blood supply, or the sympathetic circulation that aids principally in the return of the circulation when carried by the heart beat through the arteries, and the deeper circulation. And this controls more the vein circulation. Thus these become full in places on the body, also causing a feeling of a puffed or slow circulation - yet the heart going faster than it should.
9. Then, in making corrections for this body:
10. First, stay in the open as much as practical. Not too long a walk, but the regular periods taken outdoors for exercise.
11. Do begin taking Acigest daily, half a teaspoonful in raw milk, preferably at the evening meal. Three times each week, at the noon meal, eat a whole wheat cracker spread thinly with Calcios. This is the better way to take calcium in the body so that it will be easily assimilated.
12. Don't begin these, unless you are going to carry through with it.
13. This has not been a fault of the diet but a fault of the general conditions through the body and general conditions that exist.
14. After these have been taken for at least ten days, then have a good, thorough massage. First there should be given a Fume Bath carrying witchhazel and Oil of Lavender. This should be in the Cabinet when the dry heat or light is turned off. Begin with the dry heat, or light, that will cause the beginning of moisture on the body - not perspiration but moisture. Then turn off the light and put a teaspoonful of witchhazel and ten drops of Oil of Lavender in the pint of boiling water that would be placed in the Cabinet so that the fumes would settle over the body.
15. Then rub down thoroughly, and follow with a Bubble Bath using Pine oils in same. Sponge off then, good and dry. Then use the Ultra-Violet for a minute and a half to two minutes; this preferably with green glass.
16. Take one of these treatments each week until you have taken about six of them. Then leave off entirely, and after six weeks have another series, all of these as suggested, and we will find much better conditions for the body.
17. Ready for questions.
18. (Q) Is it arthritis or rheumatism that I suffer with at times?
    (A) As indicated, this is a reflex condition; not a constitutional condition as yet.
19. (Q) What is the condition of the teeth?
    (A) These are very good but soon will need some local attention, unless the supply of the calcium to the body will aid in strengthening the gums.
20. (Q) What treatment would be best for dry eczema in and behind ears?
    (A) Just think of what we have been giving you! The supplying to the superficial circulation of the healing forces, the supplying internally of those properties to correct the organs of the heart, liver, lungs and kidneys, and all of these will aid in making corrections.
    However, after the first series, or during the rest period between the two series of treatment, if there still appears to be a lack of proper coordination, take vitamin forces. For this body use that compound called KalDak; a teaspoonful once a day - a heaping teaspoonful for this body, preferably in milk. Do not begin this, though, until after the first series of treatments.
21. (Q) Are the setting-up exercises too strenuous; if so what do you suggest?
    (A) You'll have plenty of setting-up exercises if you will take the Baths and rubs as indicated. Head and neck exercises would be well, to keep the eyes and the muscles of head and neck in better condition. Take these night and morning. Don't try to take them standing up, in the beginning. Sitting erect, bend the head forward three times to the front, slowly; three times to the back; three times to the left; three times to the right. Then circle three times to the right, three times to the left. Do this of morning upon arising, and of evening just before retiring. It will also aid the circulation to the head, but what is needed is the addition to the strengthening activity of thyroid to aid the hair.
22. (Q) Please give the cause and treatment for my dandruff.
    (A) We have just gotten through saying as to what is to be used for the internal circulation, as well as that to be produced by the head and neck exercise.
    Clear same with any good shampoo, preferably tar soap.
23. (Q) Is the meditation I do harmful to my physical body?
    (A) Harmful in the physical conditions of the body at present. Leave these off, as indicated, until there are better conditions in the body.
24. (Q) Precisely where can I get the original Black and White cold cream for sagging muscles?
    (A) From the manufacturers of same, if you read it on the package! You can obtain it at most any good drug store.
25. (Q) Exactly where can I obtain the chlorine to be used for mouth rinse?
    (A) This is best obtained from a good drug store.
26. (Q) What else is necessary for me to attain and retain physical perfection?
    (A) Perfection is not possible in a material body until you have at least entered some thirty times, but these suggestions indicated may be able to aid the body in attaining the physical, mental and spiritual balance.
27. We are through with this reading.
