1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time, giving the cause of the existing conditions; also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body. You will answer the questions which I will ask you regarding same.
2. EC: We have the body here.
3. Now, as we find, there are those specific conditions with the physical forces of the body that cause distress, and these may be corrected. They have to do with specific physical conditions, yet the reactions from same are not always identical with the conditions.
4. These, then, are the conditions, as we find them as respecting this body, [283] we are speaking of:
5. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find near normal, though there are times when there is seen that there is carried in the blood stream the effects of those conditions as exist in and through the lower portion of the mesenteric system, or in the false pelvis proper.
6. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, this we find shows the effect of those conditions as are existent in the body, and the pressure as is produced on those nerve centers and the reflexes throughout the whole sympathetic and cerebrospinal system - the effect being direct, of course, to the sympathetic and to the vibratory forces of the creative forces in the mesenteric system.
7. IN THE PHYSICAL FUNCTIONINGS OF THE BODY, eyes, ears, nose, throat, bronchials, lungs, heart, all are very good in their respective functionings; yet we find there are times when all of these respond to the over nerve strain as is seen in the system.
8. In the digestive system, this is more sensitive to the action of the sympathetic system and the pressure as is produced in the nerve system.
9. In the false pelvis, as is given, we find the seat of the
283-1 Page 2
trouble. In times back we find there was congestion caused in and about the body, when the menses showed there was a congestion in same. Neuralgia, as is termed, resulted from same. Hence there became involved in the ovarian or in the Fallopian Tube, that of a congested condition which has continued to enlarge. Hence we have rather that of enlarged ovarian and of the Fallopian Tube than of a condition wherein there is seen the necessity of removal. This may become so, yet - were those conditions as applied to the body overcome by the application of that that would reduce these conditions and eliminate same from the system - this would not be necessary, and would bring better conditions for the body.
10. These we would apply then to the system for the removal of these conditions.
11. As to those conditions as are seen in hand, or those in any portions of the body where there is tautness caused in the muscular forces, those things may be applied there also that would remove these conditions.
12. In that as is seen in the pelvic regions, we would apply that as found in heated olive oil and myrrh, massaged in the cerebrospinal region, or the lumbar and sacral, until these portions show EASINESS from pressure as is caused.
13. Then we would alternate hot packs - when there is pain - across the lower portion of the abdomen and across those portions where there is seen indications of the trouble as resultant from that condition or congestion in the Fallopian Tube - hot packs of Castor Oil, alternated with hot packs of turpentine and LARD. Use hog lard! Not with the other OILS - but hog lard, see? fat of hogs. This would only be at periods, when there is seen that the body suffers from standing on feet, or from moving about, see?
14. Naturally, exercise must be taken to reduce the conditions, or produce in the body eliminations. Hence those physical exercises as of the setting-up. Not severe. Walking - when it does not overtax the body, see? Those massages then would follow. Oil packs would follow after the massage has relieved the condition.
15. ONLY when there is pressure or inflammation seen, see, use as douches - in and through the vagina - those of properties as act as an eradicator, or use these: To the gallon of warm water add two (2) teaspoonfuls Glyco-Thymoline in douche. Also use the electrode on the applicator from the Violet Ray. These will assist in reducing. After using the applicator, use the douche, see, to remove any inflammation.
16. Do this, and we will bring the better conditions for the
283-1 Page 3
body.
17. Massage the thumb, or the hand, or those extremities of the body that show there has been tautness in the muscular forces from the attempt to eradicate conditions, with equal parts, or a saturated solution, of salt and vinegar. This may be massaged into the hand once each day, or every other day - just so we overcome these conditions. Pure apple vinegar and saturated solution with salt - table salt, see?
18. Do that. Ready for questions.
19. (Q) How often should the olive oil and myrrh be massaged? (A) This should be done first, as given, see? until the body is relieved, before we begin with packs that would be alternated between the Castor Oil and Turpentine and lard, see? This will be used until the body is eased from pain in the pelvic and in the lumbar regions, when walking on feet, see? Now, as is seen, when the body walks on feet there is tendency for the feet or ankles to swell, see? or tiredness and heaviness across the abdomen, see? When this is relieved - which should be in five to six days - then we begin with the packs - ONLY when there is hurting or inflammation, see? This should overcome these conditions. In thirty to sixty days we would give further information as to how these have been applied, and that necessary then to bring about the normal conditions for the body, [283].
20. (Q) How can my tonsils be cured of their diseased condition? (A) Correct the teeth and we will find that all the inflammation as collects there will be removed. These need local applications, see?
21. (Q) What is the best way of treatment of my teeth? (A) Have the corrections made by one that attends to the teeth - dental surgeon.
22. (Q) Do I need glasses, what kind, and must they be worn continuously or only for reading? (A) Not necessary for glasses if these corrections and massages are given, so that there is full activity to these portions of the body.
23. (Q) Would the Yogi breathing exercises improve my health? (A) Improve the health - very good, see, AFTER the body is in that condition to apply that as is given TO body through the application of such exercise. Give the body that position wherein that each functioning organ gives off its correct incentives and vibrations. Then exercises of the general nature are good. Exercises of the specific nature, as is seen, for the correction of conditions, see? Common or ordinary understanding should give one the correct idea as to how the application of exercises deals with the body, if a little thought is given to this: That the body is
283-1 Page 4
built up by the radiation of vibratory forces from each and every unit of the body functioning in its proper manner. Then, to over-exercise any portion not in direct need of same, to the detriment of another, is to hinder rather than to assist through exercise. Exercise is wonderful, and necessary - and little or few take as much as is needed, in a systematic manner. Use common sense. Use discretion.
24. We are through for the present.
