TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with further suggestions for corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [3224]; this we have had before.
3. As we find, there are changes in the general physical forces. Most of these are for improvements. However, if there would be given the better stimulation to the centers of the lymph and emunctory circulation, the effect upon the glandular system would be materially aided.
4. To be sure, there may be given those elements hypodermically that will react upon the body, but common reasoning should indicate that such is not as effective as would be nature's reproduction of itself in the body-forces. This may be attained by the stimulation of the sympathetic centers and those where the lymph and emunctory circulations function with the assimilating sources in and through this body. Of course, if it is the desire to try to take shortcuts and you are too lazy to work, then do it!
5. Ready for questions.
6. (Q) Were diarrhea, temperature and vomiting due to improper osteopathic adjustments; if not, what other causes?
   (A) Effects of the inability of the body to digest and assimilate foods taken in the body. These were not from osteopathic adjustments - there were not enough of these to do any good. There should be the treatments not so much on the cerebrospinal system itself, as indicated, but on the areas where cerebrospinal and sympathetic coordinate one with another, or cooperate. These are indicated in coccyx end of spine, 4th lumbar, 9th dorsal, 6th and 7th dorsal, 1st and 2nd dorsal, 3rd cervical, and at the base of brain. Those in the frontal portion of the body are at the thorax or at the joining of the collar bone, the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th rib centers, at the joining of the 9th and 10th rib center, at the frontal plexus and at the pubic center, at the areas of the points of the hip bones. These are the areas to be treated for this body.
7. (Q) Will proper osteopathic treatment coordinate the lymph with the central circulation?
   (A) Read what we have just been giving, in the attempt to tell what to do!
8. (Q) The first reading advocated certain climates for this body - is it necessary for her to go to Hollywood Beach, Florida, at this time?
   (A) Not necessary - it would be more effective, if the treatments are administered.
9. (Q) What vicinities of high altitude would be suggested now, or in the summertime?
   (A) Those about Asheville, North Carolina; Tucson, Arizona; Denver, Colorado; or such.
10. (Q) Is the Scarsdale [Westchester] area a beneficial climate?
    (A) For some things it is extra good. For this body here, as indicated, it is not as good as others.
11. (Q) How can we avoid the effect to the sensory system of various tastes and odors, until osteopathic adjustments take effect?
    (A) You can't!
12. (Q) Would appreciate outline of an ideal daily diet at this age and for the near future.
    (A) Mornings - whole grain cereals or citrus fruits, but these never taken at the same meal; rather alternate these, using one on one day and the other the next, and so on. Any form of rice cakes or the like, the yolk of eggs and the like.
    Noon - some fresh raw vegetable salad, including many different types. Soups with brown bread, or broths, or such.
    Evenings - a fairly well coordinated vegetable diet, with three above the ground to one below the ground. Seafood, fowl or lamb; not other types of meats. Gelatine may be prepared with any of the vegetables (as in the salads for the noon meal), or with the milk and cream dishes. These would be well for the body.
13. (Q) Shall we continue with the vitamins Dr. Muffett prescribed?
    (A) If you like. But why overtax the body, if you are giving sufficient in the diet? provided you prepare the body so that it may assimilate same?
14. (Q) Would piano lessons be more helpful than dancing at this time?
    (A) Be more helpful; though there should be occasionally the dancing.
15. (Q) Any other advice?
    (A) Do keep the spiritual attitude of the entity constructive. Let this be a part of the program, to feed the spiritual body. For food value is needed for the spiritual body as well as for the mental or physical body.
16. We are through with this reading.
