1. EC: Yes, we have the body and those conditions that surround the body. This we have had before. Now, we find there are changes in the physical forces of the body. Some may be said to be on the improve. Others, while outward appearance would indicate at times even a retardment - but the bases of that which may be applied for the body are on the improve. While there will be stages when there will be apparent retroreactive forces; that is, there will appear to be more severe tendency to jerk, to have spasmodic reactions in the first portion of these changes yet the whole condition, and the reactions that will come to the sensory system, in the abilities to make for better coordination and cooperative forces in the system with the sensory and cerebrospinal system, will result from same.
2. These are the conditions, then, as we find at this time, [146] we are speaking of:
3. There is the tendency for the connections in the cerebrospinal and sympathetic system to show some inflammation, making a fullness in the upper dorsal and cervical regions - even to where there shows, or will show periods when there is tautness in this particular region, and a tendency first of white about the lips, head, ears, then even showing a discoloration - purple or blue. These should not be alarming; while they must necessarily be to some, but these are from pressures that will be changed in the system.
4. The abilities to make for coordinations are gradually being improved. There is more response in the body, and there will be the greater ability for the body to use the faculties of the sensory system. More response will come in the auditory forces, more abilities for coordination of speech. There is better understanding, or better ability to CORRELATE, to remember to CARRY ON the activities of the
146-8 Page 2
system.
5. We would, then, keep those vibrations that have been given in the appliance for extremities - Radio-Active.
6. We would also use, instead of the osteopathic adjustments in the present (while these Radio-Active and magnetic forces are to be given), the electrical]y driven vibrator along the cerebrospinal system when the body is ready to retire in the evening - see? We would apply especially from the 11th and 12th dorsal to the base of the brain, taking at least ten to fifteen minutes to give the treatment, making a SPECIFIC treatment in the upper dorsal and lower portion of the cervical region. This will make the body rest better. While there will be periods when there will be crying out in the evenings, but this may be quieted by speaking to and laying the hands on the body, especially at the base of brain and on the neck.
7. We would give each day, between the hours of eleven-thirty and twelve, the magnetic treatment; placing the right hand on the 3rd and 4th dorsal center (this the lower portion, and part of the cardiac plexus), and the left hand across the lower portion of the LIVER and caecum area - see? The left hand may be moved in a ROTARY motion over that portion of the body, while the right hand would be kept still. This should be applied directly to the BODY itself, and should be from twenty-five to forty-five minutes each day.
8. Be mindful that the diet is well balanced, and watch that there is little or no regurgitation or belching from the foods that are given with such treatments. These would be the manner of diet we would give in the present, or while these applications are being made:
9. Mornings - citrus fruit juices, preferably oranges, grapefruit, lemon. Even those taken preserved or canned, for these will be well for the body. Follow this with the scrambled or boiled yolk of egg, with dry toast, a little milk or cereal drink.
10. Noons - preferably a green vegetable salad, alternated with fruit juices - or followed with fruit juices, or nut and fruit salads and the like, with a little milk - not too strong nor too rich, but that which will make for a balancing of the diet, that is replenishing and rebuilding.
11. Evenings - well cooked vegetables, and occasionally broiled chicken or that prepared without grease, mutton or the like. Fish may be given occasionally. Not any heavy, or other character of meats.
12. In this way and manner we will find we will bring about much bettered conditions for this body, [146]. Be patient;

be mindful that there is plenty of outdoor exercise, but not during the middle of the day.
13. Ready for questions.
14. (Q) Did the trip home help [146]? (A) Changed the outlook, and beneficial to the body.
15. (Q) Is it best for him to remain in Mrs. Pope's care, or should he be home? (A) For the time, we would keep in Mrs. Pope's care.
16. (Q) Should osteopathic treatments be continued this summer? (A) We would discontinue the osteopathic treatments and use the electrically driven vibrator each evening.
17. (Q) Should he have Mayblossom Bitters? If so, how? (A) Leave these off for the present, unless the attacks become VERY severe. These, as we understand, as has been given, will apparently come at periods, and there will be some nausea - but these will pass away in eight to ten days.
18. (Q) In giving the magnetic treatments, how many times should meditation be repeated? (A) Until there is at least the well set idea in the mind of the one applying same, and the body itself. Well to have the body repeat WITH - This may be brought about - saying in so many words!
19. (Q) Will stiff, clumsy attitude ever leave this body? (A) It will!
20. (Q) How may this end be helped? (A) Do as we are giving.
21. (Q) Teachers in Rosehill School thought [146] had slight attacks of epilepsy once in Feb. and once in March. Please tell me if it was any form of epilepsy, or if he has ever had any form of epilepsy. (A) Not TRUE epilepsy. Rather that of impairment, and impingements, in the cerebrospinal system, that is affected by those conditions from the cardiac plexus and in the caecum area, that may be aided most (that is, since these have been loosened - not before) by the magnetic treatments.
22. (Q) Has his reasoning power improved in past two months? (A) Improved. His abilities to retain, his abilities to concentrate.
23. (Q) Are there improvements in the body that are not visible? (A) As has been given, the basis and the general conditions are on the improve. Keep these up. Be faithful. Be consistent. Be persistent.
24. (Q) Why does he pick at the skin on one thumb? (A) Nervousness, and following the examples of some that he has seen about him. These should disappear; not by scolding about same, but giving him something else to do instead!
25. (Q) Why does he "slump" when sitting in chair?
146-8 Page 4
(A) The pressure on the cerebrospinal makes for those conditions that make it EASIER on the spinal column itself. These will gradually be aided by the vibrations, and those from the electrically driven forces, as well as the activities from the muscular forces, as the applications outlined are made.
26. (Q) Has he made any more effort to talk? (A) Occasionally.
27. (Q) Any further advice for this body? (A) Do as we have outlined.
