TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body [4125], and those conditions that have disturbed the physical forces of the body.
2. Now, as we find, there are much better conditions in the general physical forces. With the carrying out of those suggestions there have come the changes that have been indicated would be apparent in the physical and mental reactions in the system.
3. As we have seen, there are those disturbances that prevent the proper circulation of impulses in the whole of both the blood supply and nerve impulses, which have made for those pressures in the system that have been so destructive in the manners in which the reactions were to the activities of the nervous system.
4. Now, as we find, these are beginning to show their nearer coordination and the impulses for reactions are becoming nearer and nearer to the normal activities of the nervous system.
5. Then, we need that these be carried forward in their activity in the system to that point where these may then react in normal conditions, so that the impulses from the circulation and nerve impulse coordinate in their flow both through the organs of the body and their impulses to the activities to the brain forces of the body, that make for impulse to the functioning of the organs that are affected or impelled by same.
6. In carrying on, then, we would keep those same activities that have been as ministrations for the active forces of the body, adding only a variation in the vibrations through the Radio-Active force that will make for (as the body rests) more of the impulse for coordination to the extremities of the body. This appliance we would use one each day, as the body rests or is ready for retiring; using on the extremities of the body. Attach to the right ankle and the left wrist, the next day vice versa. The applications should be first to the ankle, then to the opposite wrist, see, in attaching same. These vibrations will make for, with the pulsations that become active in the system, easier and more quieting to the whole system and the reactions will be the better.
7. Ready for questions.
8. (Q) Should the manipulations be continued, or have the pressures been removed?
   (A) They should be continued, that the coordinating of the system may be the more effective for the whole body. With corrections only, and these not kept in proper circulation, congestion would arise again.
9. (Q) How long will these reactions last?
   (A) Depends upon how soon there may be (as it may be termed in common parlance) "the catch" in the reaction from nerve plexus loosened. See, we have this condition:
   As described for the body, when there are in those centers that impulse for a congestion of a plexus, all portions of the system that react from that plexus immediately form into a spasmodic contraction, whether to the upper portion or to the lower portion. As these have been existent they have made for congestion, or for this spasmodic reaction in the trachea, the bronchi, the head, to the brain portions themselves, or to the base of the brain. Now we have succeeded in making these to become more retroactive, and the congestion or contraction moves about the system. To stop the manipulations would be to allow this to become so centralized as to make for contraction in any portion of the body, see?
10. (Q) Is there any medicine necessary to bring about better conditions?
    (A) No medicinal properties other than the Chloride of Gold and the Soda. These act directly with the eliminations, the activities of the glands that create for the nerve centers a stimuli that makes for buoyancy, a glow, a reaction that makes for stimulation. Medicinal properties that would make retroactivity upon the system would be detrimental.
11. (Q) Shall she continue the Milk of Magnesia and Milk of Bismuth?
    (A) When necessary for the drainages of the system. So long as it becomes necessary for the removal of the extra amount of drosses that are created by the system's attempt to absorb and throw off from the system, these MUST be eliminated through their regular channels - or the alimentary canal. Keep in the open as much as possible, that there may be sufficient amount of the oxygens and the proper distribution of the other elements that are active upon the circulatory system. Also keep those activities in the manner as to keep the eliminations for the whole system in as near a normal reaction, or action, as possible. Use the properties, of course, with the NECESSITIES of the system. When there are greater reactions, so that there are congestions, then some portion of the system has been under strain. Just as may be illustrated, that with an over amount of physical exercise there is the necessity of the recuperations to meet those needs; but those drosses that are used either pass off in the activity of the respiratory system, through the eliminations of the sweat glands, or through the increased amount of the elimination through alimentary canal in ITS reaction, or the greater amount may be thrown off in the activities through the respiratory system (as in the character or amount of breath, as the pulsations are increased). In this body these all are to be kept near normal, so that one does not become a strain or a dependency upon the other.
12. (Q) How long at a time should the Radio-Active appliance be used?
    (A) In the beginning, from twenty-five to thirty minutes. After this has become active in system, then from thirty to sixty minutes.
13. (Q) Should the dosage of Chloride of Gold be the same?
    (A) Be the same, until at least two more weeks; then it may be increased one drop.
14. (Q) Do you advise hot baths for the body?
    (A) At times. These should not be TOO hot, but should be sufficiently so that their reaction in the system is for a normal condition. BETTER, when the baths are given, that the body be massaged thoroughly all over, see? so that instead of the reaction for a higher internal circulation from the heat externally, it becomes more for the capillary circulation.
15. (Q) Does fish and sea food agree with her stomach?
    (A) Only small quantities; and this not too much at a period. Rather small quantities at intervals would be the better.
16. (Q) What is the shortness of breath and hard breathing?
    (A) As indicated, this is from those plexus that are in the upper dorsal and lower cervical area; when a ganglia is in that state of spasmodic reaction it contracts those muscular forces that are as radial plexuses from the ganglia itself. This condition has been in the greater portion removed, but there is the necessity for the manipulation to KEEP these in the same state of MOVING about the system; so that the circulation, nerve AND blood is kept nearer and nearer normal.
17. (Q) How often now should the manipulations be given?
    (A) This should be judged more by the CONDITIONS, as they are active. As much as possible make it every OTHER day, but when necessity demands it then have one each day. As given, when the advances come in the conditions for the retroactions, some treatments should be corrective or in the manner of adjustments, while others should be of a more general nature - see?
18. (Q) Do you think she is able to go home?
    (A) Not just yet, we would not advise it. Should be before Christmas, though!
19. (Q) How long will it be before she is fully recovered?
    (A) This depends, of course, upon the whole general reaction in the system. That would be like asking how long before it will rain! It depends upon the atmospheric conditions! So, it will depend upon the activities of the body, as to how much there is the ability to become centered in self so that there is the FORGETTING of self to the reactions of everything without, as well as from within; but it's well on the road, and should be very, very much encouraged by the conditions that are about it! Keep those same activities that have been given; not so much sympathizing with as that loving activity towards the body that makes for a dependence upon self, as well as the dependence upon the activities of the body for the actions of others.
20. (Q) What do you advise her regarding diet?
    (A) Follow that which is a general well-balanced diet for a normal, healthy person. As she has found, to over gorge self because of some liking for some especially savory dish is to surcharge the system in such a manner as to make for detrimental conditions. Eat those foods that are generally of a laxative nature, yet that carry sufficient amount of those elements that make for the better reactions to nerve and brain forces.
21. (Q) Is chocolate or cocoa good for the body?
    (A) At times; not as a regular drink.
22. (Q) Did these conditions in this body accumulate years ago due to an abortion?
    (A) These conditions are as the results of indiscretions sometimes back in the activities of the body.
23. (Q) Would you advise leaving her here alone; that is, for her husband to leave?
    (A) After another week or ten days it might be, and then in a week or ten days return and take the body home; for it will be better!
24. (Q) Will the body have a little more self-control in about ten days?
    (A) It WILL! It will have a great deal more, if it will follow along these lines as we have given!
    This we would do; for, as we have given, there must be the effort on the part of the body; not as that "I WON'T allow this to affect me," but that "I will do as I WISH TO do!"
25. We are through for the present.
