The blood supply has become rather heavy; slowed in
circulation through portions of the body, owing to pressures
created in parts of the system. While the blood pressure
is not a great deal unbalanced, or in the metabolism of
the system, the katabolism is disturbed; that is, there are
variations in those activities, and at times the body feels
much better up late than when it arises the next morning.
There has not been that creating of the well-balanced
equilibrium. Thus the body feels dull, as though portions of
the body - as in hands, through arms, through limbs at times,
- not all at the same time, but at various times - were
swollen, or full - and there is the impression as if there
might be tendencies for something creeping within the flesh
itself.
These are indications of how there is the unbalance in blood
flow. Though the chemical forces of blood are very good, the
count in the hemoglobin would be out of the ordinary.
This produces in the lymph and emunctory, or the superficial
activities, a bad coordination between superficial and deeper
circulation, as related to elimination of poisons from the
system.
Thus at times we will find the body will of evening or night
apparently have hot and cold flushes, or periods when there
is quite a variation in the temperature in parts of the body.
This also forms through the activity awake when at times
the body easily forms a perspiration, and at others it
is very hard to make the perspiratory system react in
the body-forces.
The nerve forces of the body are very good. Yet there
are those natural tendencies for stresses produced in the
body-eliminations, and body coordination in same, as from the
varied activities of the flow from the nerve centers along
the spine, and those coordinating with the functioning organs
through the body, to give some little distress through the
nerve forces. Thus those reactions in same.
In the organs themselves, as indicated, there is very little
disorder; though the functioning of these is at times cold,
or slow, and at others the reactions cause distress, or the
awareness that they are present and functioning in the body;
as the heart, as the liver, as the kidneys, as the activities
of same throughout the body.
As we find, in making corrections:
We would take, systematically, a series of hydrotherapy
treatments. Each treatment should include a Dry Heat Bath
followed by the Fumes with same of witchhazel; then the hot
and cold shower, or needle shower; then the thorough rubdown
- a massaging of the body with Pine Oil (preferably, for this
body); giving special reference in the massage to those areas
between the shoulders, back of the neck and across the small
of the back.
Take these treatments about twice or three times a week until
six or eight are taken.
Then leave them off about two weeks.
Have them, then, once a week until six or eight more are
taken.
And we should bring much better conditions for this body.
In the matter of the diet, the exercise, and the mental
attitude towards the conditions about the body, - all of
these, to be sure, have their effect upon the physical
forces; as well as the physical forces having their effect
upon the mental forces - or the outlook of the body upon
the relationships that exist between others, as well as the
general welfare of the whole purposes of the body, as well as
of a peoples or nation.
Keep rather a normal diet, but tending towards those foods of
the eliminating character; such as plenty of vegetables and
fruits and not too much of meats of any kind, though meat may
be taken occasionally. Use fish, fowl or lamb in preference
to the other characters of meats. Though these are strong
for the body at times, - that is, fish, fowl and lamb,
- these taken in moderation will be the better. But the
principal part of the diet should be vegetables and fruits,
and the leafy vegetables in preference to the pod variety.
Activities in the open are well for the body. But take some
regular exercise, a few minutes morning and evening of the
regular setting-up exercise will be most beneficial for the
body. Of morning exercise the upper part of the body, and of
evening exercise preferably from the waist down. These will
be found to be most helpful.
In the mental attitude, - keep creative in purpose, in
design, in hopes and in activity. Know that the contribution
of self to the whole, or to the Creative Forces, has its part
to perform. Keep in that way of making all with whom you
come in contact BETTER for having met you. Make EVERYONE
glad to see you, rather than sorry you have come.
Do thee, and we will find better conditions.
Ready for questions.
(Q) What causes the fits of drowsiness?
(A) This is from the poor circulation, or unbalanced
circulation, as indicated.
(Q) Am I in others ways as well as can be expected of a
woman of 55, or is the exhaustion abnormal?
(A) As indicated, the body is very good. There are rather
the functional disorders than organic disorders of any
serious nature; that will be materially aided by the
suggested treatments, if using the diet and exercise given.
Do that.
We are through with this Reading.

BACKGROUND
3/19/43 Mrs. [
3000] requested Physical Reading "for health,
which is not at all good."
REPORTS
5/14/43 P.M. She also had a Life Reading,
3000-2.
5/21/43 [
3000]'s letter to EC: "The reading on my health was
a great relief as I have been feeling very miserable for some
times past, but I can easily see that what you said is true.
The almost impossible part would be the heat baths and
massage living as I do so far in the country. I shall have
to await and opportunity to go somewhere to get them later on
when farming is not at such a tension.
"You made one remark which has made me think considerably.
'Make people pleased that you have been with them rather than
sorry.' It is good to hear such an observation as we do not
hear the truth very often when we get older."
