TEXT

1. EC: We have the body here, [5491] - this we have had before. In respects as relating to the coordinations of the system, and the ABILITIES for the body to respond to applications as are being made, or may be made, we find the physical conditions on the improve. While there are still those pressures, those tendencies through the whole of the coordinating systems, to produce those pressures that cause those TEMPERAMENTAL effects, especially of the brain's reaction to conditions surrounding system; yet we find the inability of the system to take ON resistance in the system is gradually being overcome, and the system beginning to show those proper reactions for a better coordination in the nerve system with the distribution of that as is assimilated in the body.
2. Be mindful that the diets are such as will keep an even balance, with the tendency toward those of the alkalin reaction in the system.
3. Keep those applications as have been outlined for the body. We will find, while the improvement may be slow and gradual, that - will the persistence and the consistent application be kept - the body physically will improve. Ready for questions.
4. (Q) Will benefits derived at the hospital justify his staying longer?
   (A) If he so desires! The BENEFITS are justifiable, will the body in itself make for that as may be aiding and abetting the better physical conditions of the system.
5. (Q) Will body be restored to normalcy?
   (A) That depends wholly upon the response of the system and the ability of the body within itself to keep that as IS builded for the proper coordination and proper replenishing of the physical forces in the body.
6. (Q) Is the treatment given at the hospital a cure or only palliative?
   (A) We are treating in the manner, as has been outlined, that which is of a CURATIVE or CORRECTIVE nature, so that the system builds that which would be of a CURATIVE. The palliative natures, as have to do only with satisfying or the subjugation of coordinating forces, are not beneficial.
7. (Q) How soon before body will be able to go to work?
   (A) That, again, would depend upon the responses. As we would find, in four to six months the body should be able to commence any DESIRED activities by the body.
8. (Q) What treatment would you suggest for the high urea content in blood?
   (A) That, that will build for more of the opposite forces, or of the palliative forces as will build for more gluco [glucose] in the system.
9. (Q) How often should sweat baths be given?
   (A) At LEAST once or twice each week.
10. That is all the questions regarding this body.
11. We are through with this reading.
