Time of Reading Hotel ..., 12:00 Noon - Eastern Daylight Savings Time. New York City. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [279] - this we have had before. Now, we find there are improvements in the general physical forces of the body. These, as we find, at TIMES revert to the influences as are seen made manifest through the nervous system, as of fear.
2. These, then, are the conditions as we find them, as exist in the body [279] at the present time.
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find is nearer normal in its activity, in its elements, in its receptivity, in the functioning of rebuilding, of eliminating, and its general conditions.
4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, here we find much improvement as a whole. There is less tautness existent in the upper dorsal and through the cervical region. With the EFFECT of the retractions as occur under repression, through what has been termed as neurotic forces, there comes that reaction in the active forces that make for a quick pulse, a condition about the cardiac plexus, as makes for an uneasiness; tautness or pains occur in the back portion of head and neck at such times. These conditions are purely reflex in the present condition, and are aided by the relaxation through the muscular forces along the cerebrospinal system by the manipulative measures. Hence those activities would be well to be kept in the system at given periods or intervals, to produce the abilities for the GENERAL relaxation or relaxing of the system.
5. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, we find brain forces are active, and their receptivity through the sensory organism are nominal in their response. There is in the throat, bronchi, some congestion as produced by that of cold, that makes for irritation in the mucus membranes of throat and nasal cavities, but these are NOT severe in the present, and only are reactive through the secondary forces of the circulation or lymph. Hence producing at times a throwing off of the accumulations, unless infection or more congestion occurs, with the condition of the blood supply,

the general relaxation of system would soon adjust itself.
6. Lungs are normal.
7. Heart's action, as we find, indicated only through those reactions that occur, show an indication of disorder or disturbance.
8. The digestive system, or the stomach proper, is nearer normal in its activity; yet the care and the attention should be given to the diet, and especially the MANNER in which the system IS to RESPOND TO that as is to be assimilated for system. DO NOT attempt to take food values of ANY sort under stress mentally, or under periods of depressions. Keep much of those activities as has been given, as should be the diets for the body. This will assist in bringing a normalcy in the lower digestion, as has been indicated HAS been disturbed.
9. Those tendencies as existed in the hepatic circulation, where there were those activities in the caecum area, or ascending colon area, that caused those feelings or activities in the caecum area, or ascending colon area, are improved by the use of those properties given, and the general relaxation as has been maintained in the physical body. This also should be mindful of, that there is not allowed to be those conditions that would cause toxic forces to arise in the system.
10. With the KEEPING, then, of the general forces or general outline for the body, with the occasional changes as will be necessary, the tendencies - as has been given - will be for the WELL or the NORMAL body, rather than the tendencies for the feeling bad, irritated, or the sick body. Ready for questions.
11. (Q) What is the microscopic analysis this day? (A) At this particular time this would be found to react near normal, the specific gravity being near normal. Little or no sedimentary reactions. Some cloudy conditions appearing from the inflammation as has occurred in the system at times, but these would clarify themselves, or DO clarify themselves as the reactions OF normalcy occurs in the system.
12. (Q) Are there casts, albumen, blood cells? (A) Little or none. Would depend upon the period of the day - that is, this day - when the specimen would be tested. Very little.
13. (Q) If the specimen taken within an hour? (A) There would be a slight cast, but VERY little.
14. (Q) What is the hemoglobin reading today? (A) Would be NEARER normal than HAS existed in many a day, being at the figure that would be MINUS rather than plus,
279-7 Page 3
but not excessive.
15. (Q) Will the Forces give the figure? (A) They may take 'em and see! These will be just as given - minus.
16. (Q) Should the sweats and body massage be continued as prescribed? (A) Occasionally. These are well, that the whole EXTERIOR or capillary and lymph circulation be near normal. To come to DEPEND upon same would be to tend to WEAKEN the MORALS, as it were, of the general body; but when necessary, or feeling sluggish, would be well that these be taken.
17. (Q) Any suggestion for diet? (A) As has been given, follow well that as has been outlined, changing occasionally to meet the varied needs - see?
18. That is all the questions on this body. Copy to Self " " File " " Ass'n
