1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [276]; this we have had before.
2. As we find, there is in the present rather a complication of disturbances which have upset the better equilibrium of the body.
3. We find those things pertaining to the assimilations, or causing the assimilations to be disturbed in the manner in which there is the functioning of the glands that make the secretions in the stomach and duodenum.
4. And there is too great a quantity of the disturbing factors between the keeping of the balance in the acid and alkaline; so that rather than the hydrochloric combined with the pepsin forces, there has become the picric which makes for a coagulating and a causing of souring in the system.
5. This makes for the nausea, those tendencies for the activities in the whole system to make for some temperature. For it produces in the gall duct and those assimilating forces in the liver, rather a hardening effect; or as to cause a bloating.
6. The general mental attitude of the body also has much to do with this, making for a disturbance in the coordination of the eliminations through the regular periods in the activities of the body itself, as disturbed with the blood supply.
7. Hence we would find these would be the better applications in the present:
8. First, keep those mental attitudes in a CONSTRUCTIVE way and manner.
9. We would have the manipulative forces in such a manner as to set up the drainages, not only from the activity of the stomach and duodenum (as from the dorsal area, upper dorsal area), but we would also have internally the lactics - or a combination in this manner:
10. Once a day take half a teaspoonful of Milk of Bismuth, with eight to ten drops of Elixir of Lactated Pepsin in
276-8 Page 2
same, stirred in a whole glass of water.
11. We would have the enemas to alleviate the colon and the lower portion of the jejunum of those tendencies for the creating of toxic forces that make the temperatures for the body.
12. We would keep in the open as much as possible.
13. In the diet we would have those things that are body and blood and nerve building. This would be as an outline; not that these are the only things to be taken, but the greater portion:
14. Mornings - citrus fruit juices; or the small fruits with cereals (such as berries and the like) - and those tending towards the alkalin reacting, and not milk with these but rather the fruit juices, unless only cereals are taken.
15. Noons - vegetable JUICES, used at the same meal with a cereal that would tend to make for not too GREAT an excess of starch but more of the GLUTEN with same; as the uncut or unpolished rice, or the cracked wheat or rolled whole wheat, or the rye or the oat. Any or all of these COMBINED would be added at the same meal with the vegetable juices, you see.
16. Evenings - a well balance between the green raw vegetables and more of the body-building foods; such as lamb, liver, tripe or the like, that make for the body-building forces.
17. The manipulations we would take in the FIRST about three times each week; or if the temperature does NOT ALLAY from the use of the enemas, we would have the manipulations everyday until this does reduce.
18. Ready for questions.
19. (Q) Any local treatment? (A) These as general, as we find.
20. (Q) Any specific advice for the mental body? (A) As indicated, keep more towards the CONSTRUCTIVE forces in its activity. Resentments build only that which is as a banking up, or produce - as it were - those forces that MUST be met by the body-mind. KEEP a constructive force.
