EC: Yes, we have the body, [
5619]. Now, we find there
has been for some times back a disturbing condition in the
physical forces of the body. These, as we find, in the
beginning was not so severe; rather as a temporary, or an
irritation produced by congestion through infection became
sort, or the nature of a constitutional disorder in the
circulation. With the infection in the system, same produced
in the digestive system - or in the stomach proper - a varied
condition, or a series of conditions, until we have in the
lower portion of the stomach (though it didn't begin there) a
condition that is detrimental to the better physical forces,
and a hindrance in the circulation, in the eliminations,
affecting the heart's action, affecting the digestion,
producing headaches, producing an irritation to and through
the throat, bronchial, larynx, strain on lungs, in the mucous
portions of face, antrum, nasal cavities, burning sensations
in the throat, in the tubes of the bronchi themselves,
lethargy in the action of the lower digestion and spleen,
and liver shows torpidity, the blood supply weak in
its resuscitating forces, varying at times according to
the amount of assimilation as is carried on. A general
debilitation. These are mostly of the effects of what WAS
a minor disorder, and this - as we find - on account of it's
having BEEN of such a long duration, it will be necessary
that, in the removing of same, because the body improves and
is relieved, will need their carrying on until the vibrations
of the body, in the effect as may be had from COORDINATION of
eliminations, COORDINATING of the functioning of the organs
as pertain to circulation, as pertain to digestion, are in
a normal manner. These, as we find, may be accomplished -
but there must not only be persistence, there must be
consistent effort on the part of the body, and not to let-up
WITH the conditions because improvements are shown
immediately, or not to CHANGE too suddenly because there is
seen some extra amount of IRRITATION arising from changes as
will be effected by indiscretions, as the body may do.
Then, in making applications for such, we would find that
THIS would be that near to the routine for the bringing about
of a normalcy for the physical forces of this body, [
5619] we
are speaking of: First, we would find, that all properties
taken in the form of water should carry either that of the
elm or saffron, or something that acts AS an antiseptic, that
there be no recurrent infection from the lacerations, and the
flowing out of the effluvia from such lacerations in the rest
of the system. The quantity would be a small pinch of the
elm (ground elm) in a glass of water, and this prepared just
before being taken into the system. In that of the saffron,
this would be made in a very mild tea, but the effects of
this are that, with the muco-membrane of the stomach, of the
duodenum, of that portion of the digestive forces in system,
will prevent that recurrent condition of acidity, and the too
much of the alkalin - for one is as bad or as SEVERE on the
ulcerated or lacerated conditions, as occur from time to
time. Hence the necessity that these be in the water as
is taken.
Then, we must be mindful that the diet is such that the
gastric forces of the stomach do not become over acid. These
we would give as an outline, though these may be altered or
changed to meet the conditions as they arise:
Mornings - would be preferably only those of the citrous
fruit juices. Alternate these - lemons, grapefruit, oranges.
Occasionally we would leave these off for a day or two. At
such times we would take those of either stewed fruits, or
the like - as of figs, peaches, baked apples, prunes, pears,
and such; preferably not those of the berries, or those that
grow on the smaller vines. We would not take any of the
citrous fruit juices with those of the stewed fruits; that
is, not take them together, - see?
In the noon, we would have preferably those of the raw
vegetables. These may be of all those that may be eaten,
either by preparing very fine - and preferably when those of
turnips or carrots, or potatoes, or the like, these should
be grated - with the lettuce, the spinach, the peas, or the
lentils - see? Use same with dressings, preferably those
that carry a great deal of the olive oils.
Evenings - we would have the cooked vegetables, those
well balanced; at this period there may be taken also
meat juices, but not the meats.
We would apply, WITH the corrections of those conditions in
the 4th, 6th and 8th dorsal area - make corrections also in
the 3rd and 4th cervical area, applying immediately AFTER
same the VIOLET ray. These we would apply especially to the
centers where the CORRECTIONS are made. After this has been
given for five to ten minutes over these specific centers,
then a GENERAL application over or along the cerebrospinal
system from top to bottom of same. Then apply it directly
at the base of the thyroid gland area, on either side of the
throat, and at the umbilicus, for one minute each. Then take
the electrical vibration of same, which is NOT FELT - save by
the electrification of the general system.
Do THAT, and we will find we will bring the nearer normal
conditions for this body of [
5619]. Ready for questions.
(Q) How often should she drink the water and how much should
she drink?
(A) At least two quarts of water should be taken a day by
everyone. At a period would drink a glass to three-quarters
of a glass, or a tumbler of water.
(Q) Any sugar with citrous fruits?
(A) Preferably salts, than sugars.
(Q) What doctor would you suggest?
(A) She may do this herself!
(Q) Is there any spiritual advice for this body?
(A) These mental forces as have been applied by the body
in varied directions should, through self's own inspection,
become more VITAL to the body physical and mental welfare;
that is, as ye have PREACHED, now practice in yourself.
We are through.

BACKGROUND
7/14/31 Miss [
307]'s letter: "Dr. [...] professor in the ...
University and a distant cousin of [
218] wants a reading for
his mother [
5619]...they are your good friends for the
kindnesses you have shown Mr. [
218] and have great confidence
in the power manifested through you."
REPORTS
9/09/31 Son's letter: "...The treatment and diet for Mother
[
5619] have relieved the choking in the throat. That is a
great result. The rising mucus is not so great.
"In the next reading would you kindly ask these questions,
unless they are covered in the reading: How can the stomach
condition be improved? Can the sores in mouth and alimentary
canal be relieved? How can the swelling of the ankles be
relieved? Can the patient be given more physical strength?
How can the weight be increased?
"In fact, the reading on the symptoms might be short if the
remedies could be suggested.
"We certainly thank you for your interest, sympathy, and
help. Mother is really in a dreadful state. The secondary
anemia from the stomach disease causes pains. She really has
malignant growths in the stomach without apparently knowing
it. The doctors here gave up hope nearly two years ago..."
