TEXT

1. EC: Now, we find there are some changes in the physical conditions in the body. Some are for the better. Others are not so good. While the inflammation as is caused in the ligaments, and producing the pressure, and the nerve tension is still very high throughout all portions of the body, that producing same and that in eliminations being so adjusted as to eliminate through their proper channels to absorb used forces from the system, this we find better.
2. Now, with the existing conditions as at present, we find there are specific conditions that may be brought in the system to reduce inflammation and to assist the assimilation as set by the creating in the system that of the destructive element to that bacilli that is created in the system between white and red blood supply, or that creating the lymph that brings and gives the strain and pressure in nerve ligament ends.
3. We would then apply the mud as obtained from the stream near where the body now is. Not that of the sandy nature but that more of the blue and black clay. In not too much of the water but sufficient that this may take from the system that strain on those centers that are so much involved, using pound to two pounds at each application. It would be applied to the body along the spine from the lowest portion of the lumbars to the upper portion and to the end in upper portion of the dorsal region. Let the application be at least once - twice - each twenty-four hours, until the temperature and the strain on system is reduced. When the application is made and this portion applied becomes dry, (body lying on side or face) then remove, cleanse and apply to the whole length of the spine equal portions of olive oil and tincture of myrrh, or better still olive oil with powdered myrrh made into a solution that may be rubbed into the ligaments along the whole length of the spine, keeping then the same properties as are being applied internally to reduce the temperature from the internal forces, but giving sufficient of the salines to keep the intestinal tract from absorbing more toxins. Not overtaxing either the liver or kidneys, but keeping an equalization that the hepatic circulation may not produce straining any of the plexuses governing heart action. That is, do not let the hypogastric or pneumogastric or secondary cardiac plexus become involved. Keep this by assimilation being kept in the proper channels, reducing temperature when necessary with alcohol in portions of the body that will absorb this as a food in the system; arm pits, groins and across the diaphragm on left and right side.
4. Do that.
5. (Q) What are the conditions of the tonsils of this body at the present time?
   (A) All glands, as we have given, are involved in the condition. This in the tonsils and in the throat proper has no more effect in the system than that produced in the Peyer's Glands region, for they counter balance one with the other at the present time. This in this region (tonsils we are speaking of) only needs the correct absorption, for the system to eliminate. These need treating locally afterwards. Not at present.
6. (Q) Have the tonsils been removed today?
   (A) One, yes.
7. (Q) What are the conditions of the teeth?
   (A) There are some of these that need attention. All are involved, yet not producing that which causes this in the system at present.
8. (Q) Have any of the teeth of the body been extracted today?
   (A) We don't find it so.
9. (Q) What is the blood pressure of the body at the present time.
   (A) It is above the normal, being 48 you see now and 7/10.
10. (Q) Was it of advantage to have the tonsil removed?
    (A) Very good. Not necessary, were the other properties taken in the system. The one removed, you see, in the left side was the one that was involved the most.
11. (Q) Is the right tonsil disturbed and should it be removed?
    (A) Not necessary, as we have given, for either to have been removed, or to be removed, provided the conditions are met in the system. The condition arising in system comes from toxins in the Peyer's Gland region, and is only find the reaction or the system refusing to absorb or eliminate the pockets that contain the same in teeth, tonsils and nostrils and in other portions of the body.
    Do as we have given. Make the application of these properties to the body, if we would bring the best to this body, [4825], at the present time.
12. (Q) In what portion of the body does the individual suffer the most?
    (A) At the present time it is the left toe. Knees and in the hips, in the back the body suffers most. In the toe more inflammation shows at present. All locomotories, as we have given from the first.
13. (Q) Are the chances for this body's recovery very good?
    (A) Very good, if these are applied as we have given, and the condition does not become involved in hepatic circulation and revert to the plexuses governing the heart's circulation. Keep the pressure reduced by these as given, keeping assimilation and elimination balanced in the system.
