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, [3385].
3. As we find, much might be said regarding this body, mentally, physically, spiritually. As the body is finding in its experience, that held in the spiritual life as the ideal - applied in the mental life and exercised in the material - brings those changes in the whole being of the body.
4. There are those disturbances pathologically. These have to do primarily with the glandular system, and principally in the present with the thyroid. The effects upon the body of these things administered have not been for the best. For these have brought an irregularity to the heart's activity, producing quite a variation in the pulsation in the upper and lower portion of the body. This is indicated by the dizziness that has come in the experience and the sensation of cold hands and feet. Hence these are not the type of activities that should be administered.
5. The physical conditions that exist in the organs of the sensory system, as the eyes, may be materially aided. As to full correction, it will depend upon the response of the body spiritually and mentally as well as materially - as to the expectancy of the body as related to the promises and how well these may be kept with the better self in its dealing with its own material as well as mental and spiritual problems.
6. As we find, there are certain centers in the spinal system that indicate lesions. These are preventing a normal coordination between the superficial circulation and the central circulation. Hence corrections osteopathically should be made in the 1st and 2nd cervical, in the 3rd cervical (the lower portion of the 3rd cervical) in the 6th dorsal, and then through the lumbar and sacral axis.
7. It would be better if there were a relaxing of the body with hydrotherapy cabinet baths before there is the attempt to make the corrections osteopathically. These will also aid in removing poisons from the system.
8. Make the osteopathic corrections following the cabinet sweats, then; making special adjustments for the upper dorsal and through the cervical area as related to the eyes. Let the treatment to the 1st and 2nd cervical be made especially as related to the breathing and those pressures that may be made during the breathing.
9. We would leave off the properties or injections that have been taken for the thyroids, and take each morning before breakfast one drop of Atomidine in half a glass of water. Do this each morning for five days. Then leave off five days, and take again. This is to cleanse or to purify the circulation through the whole glandular system, especially the thyroids. This will cause some burning through throat, through the areas of the ears and the activities of the eyes, but it will be because of the corrections in the cerebrospinal system while the properties are being taken. Only the two five day periods of Atomidine would be taken, with a week or five day rest period between the two series.
10. We would have six osteopathic treatments in the first series, then a rest period from these, taking another series - having at least twelve in all.
11. Then (not before) we would begin taking KalDak as a tonic for the body.
12. Do these and we will bring better conditions for this body. Do keep the attitudes in the mental and spiritual forces. Do apply these in relationships to others day by day.
13. Ready for questions.
14. (Q) How can the eyes be brought back to normalcy?
    (A) As indicated, these will be materially aided. As to whether they will be brought back to normal will depend upon the responses made to the applications and as to how well these treatments are followed in accord with the suggestions given, and then the mental attitude of the body.
15. (Q) Would exercise be helpful?
    (A) Exercise is not very good here until after the corrections have been made of those pressures indicated in the upper cervicals and the upper dorsals.
16. (Q) Any suggestions as to diet?
    (A) A well balanced diet, taking plenty of raw vegetables each day; including carrots, celery, lettuce and all of those green vegetables that may be eaten, preparing these often with gelatin will be well. These will aid in the activity of cleansing the system as well as building up the body after the organs of the sensory system have been cleansed.
17. (Q) What causes the persistent loss of weight and loss of reserve, and how can these be built up?
    (A) As indicated, this is because of the blocking of the circulation and the incoordination between the superficial and deeper circulation. That is why, when the system is thoroughly cleansed, we have suggested that the KalDak be added to supply the vital forces or vitamins - in the iron and phosphorous combinations.
18. We are through with this reading.
