Time of Reading 11:20 to 11:30 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Virginia. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [263]; this we have had before.
2. As we find, there are the accentuations of much of those things that have disturbed the physical forces of the body heretofore, and some little changes. Or, as the disorders in any physical body advance or change, according to those administrations - whether physical or mental - to same, then the DEVELOPMENTS arise along those channels.
3. In meeting the conditions in the present, where there are the disorders in the digestive system and the effects had upon various portions of the body - in the formations of the activities in same, we find:
4. There should first be the thorough arousing of the organs of elimination, in a COORDINATED manner, without producing too great an excitement to the lymph supply through the torso portions.
5. And then, KEEPING the body in accord mentally and physically, and with the correct consideration of the diet, we would have near a normal body.
6. As we find, these, then, would be the ministrations for the body, [263], in the present:
7. First we would begin with small doses of Syrup of Figs, taking about a quarter to half a teaspoonful every hour until there is a THOROUGH evacuation through the alimentary canal.
8. Then, after this has begun, we would take a deep manipulation given with the vibrator over the stomach and the liver area, making or extending same down over the caecum and across the colon; doing this two or three times, you see, and the treatment would be given each day - and each day gradually make it longer and deeper. This portion of treatment should be begun AFTER the thorough evacuation, you see.
9. Then, after the thorough evacuation and the beginning of
263-2 Page 2
the vibrator treatments, we would take a high enema to alleviate those tendencies of the drosses throughout the colon; in the tepid water used for the enema putting at least a level tablespoonful of baking soda with a teaspoonful of salt (level teaspoonful). This should not be just a low enema, but the colon tube should you use, you see.
10. We would be mindful of the diet. Not too much starches nor sweets, but rather a balanced diet consisting of those things that are nerve and blood building in the system. At least one meal each day should consist of fresh-green-RAW vegetables; such as carrots, lettuce, celery, tomatoes, peppers, radishes, spinach, mustard, onions, and the like. With such a salad there may be used mayonnaise or oil dressings.
11. Keep the body active or BUSY in some activity AS the body improves.
12. Do this, and we will find we will bring the better conditions for this body.
13. Ready for questions.
14. (Q) What is the condition of my body at this time? (A) As indicated, it is full of poisons from toxic forces - as indicated by the sluggishness of the eliminating forces of the body; liver, spleen, pancreas are all involved.
15. (Q) What is the cause of the purple lips? (A) The circulation.
16. (Q) With what can the back be rubbed to relieve the soreness? (A) If we will remove these poisons, this will be much stimulated - as we find - by the use of the vibrator, and overcome such conditions. These are reflex and are not primary or first causes.
17. (Q) What is cause of pains in right side? (A) Clogging of the area, as indicated in the caecum, on account of the toxic forces and the tendencies of the clogging of the system.
18. (Q) Why do I have such severe pains around the heart? (A) Produced by gases in the transverse and descending colon area. They are reflex and gas pains.
19. (Q) What is cause and cure of restlessness? (A) Nervousness and tendencies for the lack of centralization of the mental capacities and abilities in a constructive way and manner. If we remove the PHYSICAL conditions, then the body may be able to CRYSTALLIZE the activities into purposefulness in a given direction.
20. (Q) Should I use B.C. powders or is there a substitute better? (A) As we find, if we would use these conditions as we have given here to stimulate the activities, it will be
263-2 Page 3
unnecessary to use the powders or sedatives - that bring ABOUT much of the toxic forces.
21. (Q) How may I control myself when nervous? (A) By the use of those things that will keep the body from BEING nervous; that is, by keeping the eliminations - not acting in those directions that tend to make for poisons in the system, and keeping the mind busy in a constructive way and manner.
22. (Q) What will relieve the backache? (A) Removal of those conditions that cause same, as we have indicated.
23. (Q) Any advice that will help me to become a healthy normal being will be appreciated. (A) This, as we find, has been outlined for the body. And if these suggestions will be followed in the way and manner as indicated, we will find these will bring to the body the proper conditions.
24. Do that.
