GC: You will answer the questions regarding this body, as I ask them:
EC: Yes, we have the body here, [3125]; this we have had before.
As we find, there is the beginning of a great deal of help for this body. While those suppressions by the activities through the glandular forces of the allergies in body have not been overcome, they are being aided.
We would keep those suggestions. They will have more effect than all the dosages of other things that can be taken, but do keep up the Mullein and Saffron Tea. These should be taken at least two, three to four times each week. These will aid the body with the mind, the suggestive forces.
For as we find, here are the sources of the disturbances that cause certain conditions to become poisons to the body:
The body is made of the body-physical with all its attributes - that is, the blood supply, the heart, the lungs, the liver, the kidneys as the central blood supply. Then there are those activities of the glands - the brain, pancreas, spleen, organs of pelvis, the whole of the respiratory system or breath itself. Breath itself - few ever consider the necessity of breathing or the lack of same to keep alive. These are just as much a portion of body, mind, soul. Mind is ever the builder. Consider, there are thirty to forty million cells in this body - which are lacking in a great many, owing to the lack of sufficient red blood cellular force. And there is continual warring between the mind of the white cells here and the red blood cells. Thus we find from the glands the meanings in the body of those things that bring poisons.
In another experience we find that the entity was a chemist, and she used many of those various things for the producing of itching in others. She finds it in herself in the present! And many of those things that produced the ability in the body for the breath itself to become poisonous to others in their associations. Just as the body finds in itself in the present, in the presence of certain metals, certain plastics, certain odors, the body immediately is poisoned. Just as certain characters of leathers. If these are tanned with oak they do not harm the body. If they are tanned with those very same things the entity once used to hinder someone else, they hinder the entity. For, the cellular force in the mind has two points about each of the positive forces in mind with the cellular forces in the body, or red and white blood cells. For, about each is a positive and a negative influence. These in the body have now become subject to such things.
Hence the suggestions given. The deeper the body may be put into the unconscious state, with the retaining with the remaining of the ability of the body for the soul-self to be aroused to the using of all influence within self constructively rather than to secondary or destructive forces, the entity will snap right out of the conditions.
For, who healeth thine iniquities? Who forgiveth thy sins? Who keepeth thee in every way? The spirit of truth! The spirit of love, the spirit of helpfulness, the spirit of patience, the spirit of kindness, the spirit of gentleness! And all are found in the one Christ-consciousness! Then, as the cells of the body are aroused in themselves to that awareness that each cell is to perform a functioning to the glory of a glorified consciousness - not of self but of Him, who is life itself - we may overcome these disturbances. With the continuing of those things that attune the body to nature, and the suggestions that attune the body to truth, to consciousness, we will break down the allergies that bring from the associations of the mind (though not conscious of same) the experiences which have come as a result of the entity's abilities being used to have self's own way. Now you have to do as something else wishes. Let's change it - in Him.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Is there an injury in the left leg between the knee and the hip or near the hip joint? If so, what is it and how can it be cured?
(A) This we find is not a break, not an injury, other than a strain to the joint itself where the fibia enters the socket of the pelvic bone. A strain there, when there was a twisting of the body. With the other suggestions and the body-forces built up, this should disappear.
(Q) Is there anything wrong with the spinal column, spinal cord or individual vertebrae? If so, what is it and how can it be cured?
(A) No - none that will not be corrected by the correct suggestions for normalcy through the body.
(Q) Are there any injuries near the base of the neck? If so, what should be done?
(A) We do not find any in any portion of the spine that will not be corrected by a gentle massage.
(Q) What in leather reacts as a poison? Is it a single ingredient or a combination?
(A) Depends upon what it has been tanned with, as we have indicated. If these are tanned in oak, they do not injure the body. The body is not allergic to those tanned in oak tanning. When tanned in those that are sympathetic, or where there is the use of ash in same, these become poison to the body - the radiation from same.
(Q) Who should give suggestions, and have they been done correctly by Garrett?
(A) As far as they have gone, they have been very well. Salter would be very well, as Kuhn is not available in the present.
(Q) Do you mean Slater or Salter? [See 3125-3, Par. R1.]
(A) We meant Salter. If we had meant Slater, we would have said Slater.
We are through for the present.

REPORTS

11/24/43 [3125]'s letter to EC:
"...I am enclosing a check for $10 to cover my reading November 19th, and also, on a separate sheet of paper some questions I would like to get answered at the next reading, November 27th at 3:30 P.M.
"I certainly enjoyed seeing you personally again, and also the place where you live. And I do appreciate your working me into your time so soon again. I am returning to New York tonight, so for the reading this Saturday I will be in my bedroom in the S-W corner of my apt., ... N.Y.C.
"In the last reading it was suggested that I 'continue' with the mullein and saffron tea. As this had not previously been suggested, I'd appreciate it if you would ask your secretary to tell me where to get the ingredients and how to make it..."
Questions submitted for 3125-3:
What is it in brassiere materials that poisons me? Where can I get material my body can tolerate? What is it in the plastic frames of glasses which poisons me? Where can I get frames I can tolerate? What Salter is it that you have suggested to give hypnotic treatments, and where can he be found? What causes my stiff neck, the burning and discomfort in my left hip and leg, and the tingling in the outside edge of the sole of my left foot? What causes the sore lumps on my finger joints, the pain and itching in the left breast, and what makes my back get stiff and the leg muscles contract?
