TEXT

1. EC: We have the body here - this we have had before. Ready for questions.
2. (Q) Why is condition so much worse?
   (A) Irritations both mental and physical, as is apparent by the condition existent itself. The non-conformity to the diet that has been outlined, and non-conformity to the applications as so far as the physical activities, MENTAL activities of the body. The condition in itself, of the attempting to be curative powers - attack the conditions, and then attempting to prevent those of OTHER conditions coming about in the system of a normalcy - will always work in opposites, and THESE produce NATURAL irritations for the system. In the applications, then, either conform TO those - or CHANGE to other conditions, to be sure.
3. (Q) Can anything be given to heal the skin on vulva that would be soothing and not irritating?
   (A) Use those of any of the properties that are healing in their nature, that will be added to that of the dust of medicated ash. Not the ash itself, but the DUST from same. Use any of those as a carrier, see? The proportion would be, to one DRAM of a carrier - either that of oil of butterfat, oil of the coconut oil, oil of ANY of those that are soothing in their nature - adding to this of the dust, about one-eighth grain to the dram of the carrier. This will be soothing, and this will be healing.
4. (Q) How can they obtain this dust?
   (A) As it would be, the powder itself - placed in any container and DUST through same. Like as of the BANDAGE cover, or such, see? so that the particles themselves are not - for each is an ACTIVE atom in itself, and when there are particles of same, they are of such a nature as to become TOO active in one point, see? or in such a carrier there is such an accumulation of those forces from the system itself that are of the healing nature, that they become a counterirritant; while in the broken UP particles they become a soothing nature.
5. (Q) Would removing the gall bladder help the condition?
   (A) We wouldn't find that it would. This would be merely removing some portion that is affected BY a condition, and NOT removing that causing same.
6. (Q) Would bathing in ocean and sand be beneficial?
   (A) NOT just at present. Would a little bit later, in little bit different climatic conditions - or the temperature conditions.
7. (Q) Are the teeth and gums causing any trouble?
   (A) There is the natural inclination from such conditions or irritations in the system, to produce localized conditions in various portions of the system - until the system becomes attacked by that which is often classified as being a cause. Then, when the conditions become effective - as here - it is merely an added condition, NOT a cause - though, allowed to BECOME such within themselves, then they produce or throw into the system that which is an irritant, and OFTEN being of a different nature and character in its activity, produces harmful effects TO that that may be applied for curative forces. Hence, to apply local conditions for that condition itself, and as an aid to the general distribution of forces in the system, would be helpful. So, were the teeth themselves - the gums - CLEANSED thoroughly, and applications of those in the form of Ipsab applied locally to the gums - close to the roots - this would prove very beneficial.
8. (Q) Should any change be made in osteopathic treatments?
   (A) No change in these at the present.
9. (Q) Should sitz baths be continued? If so, how often?
   (A) Occasionally. About once each week, or once each two weeks.
10. (Q) How long at a time?
    (A) As long as there may be active forces in those that are used as astringents for system during such treatments, which requires from fifteen to twenty-five minutes - depending upon the temperature of the bath itself.
11. That is all the questions regarding this body.
12. We are through with this reading.
