1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time with suggestions for further corrective measures, answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [243].
3. Conditions are not so good. The cold and congestion and the overtaxation have taken such vital energies from the body-forces that there is a great deal lacking in the abilities of the body to assimilate properly replenishing foods, or replenishing vitality, owing to the weakness in circulation, in heart's activity, in the liver functioning and the gastric juices of the stomach itself.
4. These, then, leave the body in such a weakened state that it becomes easily susceptible to any activity through contact, through cold, through the breath of others, or from dust or things that may be handled carrying germs of various natures, and there is little resistance in the body. [T.B. incipiency? Pleurisy?]
5. Thus, there should be as much rest taken by the body as practical.
6. Also at least three times each week, take half a teaspoonful of Acigest in a full glass of raw milk, preferably at the evening meal.
7. Not on the same days but also three times each week, preferably at the noon meal, eat a whole wheat cracker spread thinly with Calcios as an addition to the circulation and the ability for the gastric flow to assimilate.
8. At least once or twice a week have the massages.
9. When these properties have been taken for two or three weeks, also begin taking (not before) a level teaspoonful of KalDak, first dissolved in a little hot water and then the glass filled with milk. Stir thoroughly and drink.
10. Do these for better conditions.
11. Unless there is rest taken, this will become serious.
12. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) Are my lungs alright?
243-39 Page 2
(A) Nothing is alright! If it were, the body would be well!
14. (Q) What makes me ache so under my shoulders and sides? (A) As indicated, the poor circulation and, as it were, the whole body crying out for nourishment.
15. (Q) Please check on my kidneys. (A) Do these things indicated. The kidneys are affected because of the poor eliminations, but with the addition of the acids that will enable the fats to be dissolved in the system to a great measure, the stress will be taken off of the kidneys. It is well that the body at least once a week take about two ounces of watermelon seed tea. Prepare this by crushing about a teaspoonful of the seeds, putting these in a cup and pouring boiling water over same. Let stand for thirty minutes. Strain, put a piece of ice in it to cool it, and then drink it.
16. (Q) What are those terrible pains from, in toes next small one on each foot, particularly the left one? (A) Poor circulation through the lower limbs. The varicose veins, of course, fail to carry the circulation, thus causing the swelling of limbs and the disturbance of the body.
17. (Q) Is the tonic I am taking the correct tonic for me at this time? (A) Not any too good for the body. If you wish to take it, take it, but it won't mix very well with what has been given here. A much better tonic in the KalDak is to be taken, a little bit later, but if you feel that you need to take this at this time, go ahead.
