Time of Reading 11:15 to 11:30 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Ohio. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [287]; this we have had before.
2. Now, as we find, conditions that have existed are at times so irritated as to produce distresses to the body in their activity. Had there been sufficient or as deep manipulations and corrections as there should have been, these disturbing effects would not have occurred.
3. There should be given (and taken) those corrections that are necessary to reduce the tendency in the upper dorsal and cervical area, to reduce that tendency for the nerve forces to dilate the phrenic nerves (pertaining to the diaphragm's circulation, and the activity of the brachial plexus) and the dilation that is produced in the trachea and the bronchi, and the irritation to the lung; in these portions of the esophagus, especially, where it enters into the stomach at the cardiac end.
4. With exercises that make the nerves through these various portions given become overactive, this portion swells - or holds the blood supply.
5. It has not become of such a nature as yet to REMAIN in this state, save when the activities physically produce the rush of blood - or cause the blood to rush there; weakened places, as indicated before.
6. Then, to meet the conditions in the present, we would keep those properties that have been given to reduce the chemical reactions in the gastric forces of the stomach and duodenum, produced by the irritation of those acids that cause the smoothing out of many of the walls and the destruction of tissue in same; sometimes back, as we have given. [Olive Oil & Saffron?]
7. We would so stimulate osteopathically, or chiropractically (if the massage will be given WITH same!), those centers, as to reduce this tendency for the gathering of impulse to this portion of the system. It is necessary,

then, that the stimulation to OTHER portions take AWAY the blood, until there is a general distribution. So, the massage would be in the 3rd and 4th dorsal, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th cervical, with adjustments when necessary (which will be found to be once in a while), with specific adjustments made in the 9th, 10th, 12th dorsal, 3rd and 4th lumbar. These treatments will stimulate for the carrying of impulses in general distribution, so that there may be resuscitation.
8. Conditions are such, necessarily, that it will require time. Do not become impatient, or over-anxious, but know that the results will come if these suggestions will be carried out; for these conditions are not only psychopathic in their nature but they also carry with same the others that make for the actuality of that ordinarily termed of the nature to produce definite REACTIONS in the system of a beneficial nature, and are in line with the proper reactions from both activities of beneficial effects that are received to a body from correcting of centers in cerebrospinal system to change impulses in the system. See? They are, consequently, of therapeutic value in an organism.
9. The amounts of oil or of the saffron should be that which will be assimilated by the body.
10. For those tendencies of the gathering of influences in system, and of the pneumatic or rheumatic condition, it would be well that the large quantities of the electro-magnetic or violet ray be applied to the superficial portions of the body, or that there be the charging of the body throughout with same, so as to reduce the salts and allow the eliminations to be carried from the system.
11. Be mindful of the diet, that there is not too much starch or too much fats; but much of the stewed fruits, nuts, and all those things that stimulate the alimentary canal to activity in the over-secretions without irritation to the muco-membranes of same.
12. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) What causes pain in throat? (A) It's just been described! The conditions in the thorax, in the epiglottis and trachea, and in the cardiac end of stomach proper; nervous reaction, filling of blood, shortness of breath, and creating the pressures to the diaphragm area - see?
14. (Q) What is the condition of my heart? (A) Naturally, with irritations to the activity of the cardiac, or secondary cardiac, the pressures created there produce quickness of pulsation; hence the character and type of manipulation suggested. NOT ORGANIC; SYMPATHETIC!
287-11 Page 3
15. (Q) At times why am I unable to walk any distance, or to be active? (A) It's just been described as to what produces those pressures! Do as we have outlined, CONSISTENTLY; not a few times and stop, but consistently - will we [if we will] restore anything like normalcy for the body!
