1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [287]; this we have had before.

2. Conditions are not so good with this body. And unless there are those precautions taken, and the body less active, there will needs be some anxiety about the general outcome. For the continual engorging of those connections between the heart and the liver, this dilation that produces such a disturbance in the heart pressure, is gradually overtaxing the system.

3. As we find, there should be a closer adherence to the relieving of those pressures in the colon; in the transverse and descending colon, by the use of the colonics WITH the equalizing of the circulation. If this had been done, there would have been much improved conditions.

4. While there is the activity of the alimentary canal, there is - and would be seen if an examination would be made by the fluoroscope or X-ray - an engorgement of the colon. This, making this pressure, with those disturbances in the throat, has gradually increased the slowing of the circulation through the area. And when there is an activity of the body in locomotion, in exercise, the activities are so overcharged that the engorging of the heart has been the result.

5. DO these in the manner as has been indicated. Rather than medications, the use of the diathermy and electrotherapy and hydrotherapy will be those influences that may bring about the nearer normal conditions.

6. Do these under the specific directions, though, of a hydrotherapist that UNDERSTANDS such conditions; who would make examinations and NOT increase the swelling or the backing without REMOVING the disturbance. We are through for the present.
