TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [5562]. This we have had before. Some bettered conditions - some bettered coordinations. Let's change some of these administrations as given internally for the correction of the vibratory forces and the desensitizing of some of the nerves' reaction. Use those of the Mayblossom Bitters. Let's alter these about a bit, and we will find we will find some better reaction. These are prepared! Use that as is prepared, STRAINED once, and then GIVE in this dose: Of mornings, five to six drops in a little water. Near the eleventh hour, give ten to twelve drops. Near three o'clock, give three to five drops. Of evenings, about the SAME quantity.
2. Of the diet, be mindful that there is not an overloading at any time of the system. Let's have a little more exercise outside. Let's have a little more of the reactions for self as to CONTROL self, and we will find that the coordinating of the whole of the cerebrospinal, with the sympathetics, will form such an operative force that the reactions produced by the depressions, rather than the depressions by the reactions - as has been given - will conform to that necessary for that proper coordination in the system.
3. (Q) Is the Ketogenic diet as given, proper?
   (A) Very good, if there will be more reactions in the air with same. That is, exercises. It takes a great deal of oxygen for this to coordinate, or to become ASSIMILATIVE for reaction in the system.
4. (Q) Is it permissible to use Luminal as a sedative when attacks are active?
   (A) Use this other, and let's get rid of the Luminal! It's permissible to use it when NECESSARY! Let's make it unnecessary!
5. (Q) How much iodine should be used in the battery?
   (A) TWELVE OUNCES should be used, in a sixteen ounce container.
6. (Q) Is the battery charged properly?
   (A) Well, we haven't gotten all together in same shape! TWELVE OUNCES of iodine in sixteen ounce container. Then charged, either with the direct for such a discharge, or thirty minutes with the alternating. It won't hurt to make it over! Expensive, yes! but it's worth it! Let's get it right!
7. (Q) Is alternating current alright to use by applying hot wire to the positive and the negative wire to the negative?
   (A) Alright. What is needed is the charge of the force to so heat and to so ELECTRIFY that of the solution as it charges itself. Let's consider just a moment what takes place in the variation, and WHY SUCH a solution may be charged AT ALL by an ALTERNATING current! WHY the discharge is given when DIRECT current is used, and why TIME is given for an ALTERNATING current! In the first, we have a SOLUTION that charges itself, by decomposition and a building up of electronic units in its reaction. The given forces as come through those of direct current, only assist in the decomposition until such a charge is then thrown off. In the variation in the alternating, as is found that, heat BEGINS - yet does not build up, on account of the variation in the alternating active forces WITH that which is constant in its reaction. Once begun, however, we find that the alternating becomes within a charge directing the decomposition in that of the acid AND of the proper units of the forces as CAUSE decomposition to become a steady flow. Hence CHARGING that within as a recurrent force within the whole active principle, see?
8. (Q) Can a resistance be used in the circuit to keep battery from over heating by taking heat up in the resistance wire?
   (A) Provided the resistance is kept nominal and not allowed to take ALL the resistance out.
9. (Q) About what should the resistance be?
   (A) About twenty-four centimeters.
10. (Q) Should battery time be increased?
    (A) Made properly, not necessary to be increased. Following the way and manner as has been given. You see, we haven't had the PROPER applications, WHOLLY. There's been assistance from it! Don't get the idea that it hasn't been effective in the system, for it has! but PROPERLY given, with the time change as is necessary for the building up of the system in such a manner as to produce the reactions throughout the centers from the solar plexus to that at the base of brain, see?
11. That is all the questions regarding this body.
12. We are through with this reading.
