EC: These are the conditions we find in this body. The body is an anemic body. The supply to the blood, of rebuilding cellular force has become so deficient that in the whole system the body had become anemic. The blood supply to the nerves and muscles of the body is deficient. It begins from the state of digestion in the duodenum, formed by too much of acid state in the stomach and the acting of an acid carrying with it properties which leave an over supply of the dioxides in the system. This action of the dioxides produces a system within themselves to such an extent that the over taxation of the excretory organs in the liver are so stimulated that they become enlarged and create a circulation through the hepatic circulation. So we have a functional trouble and an organic trouble within this body.
The body suffers with headache, pains in the back, heaviness to the feet through the lower limbs and at times pains through the whole body, especially along the intestinal tract.
To reduce or restore a normal condition to this body, we would take into the system quantities of olive oil repeatedly. The action of the food values of olive oil is headed to the intestinal tract, and the action of its rebuilding forces is needed in the liver, and the action to the excretory system in eliminating the acid state through that portion of the body. The body has suffered at all times with constipation. By quantities of oil, we mean cupfuls daily. This will remove the condition from the body and it will gradually build up to those things carrying more pretoids [proteides, proteins?]. We will then depend on the diet to assist this body. Those things should be eaten that carry cereal and are easily digested. There is a digestion that takes place in the stomach and another that takes place in the intestines. Meats, acid and the like are acted on in the stomach and then certain portions are carried on into the intestines. Those of pretoids are carried into the intestines in a lactic state. These are the foods that we want, those that are carried into the intestines in a lactic form.
