1. GC: You will give the physical conditions of this body at the present time, with suggestions for the improvement of same; TELLING US IF THE BODY HAS BEEN WORKING TOO HARD ON PSYCHIC READINGS, or if there are any physical or mental conditions that should be corrected, and how.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here. This we have had before. Now, we find there is much change in the present conditions of the body, physically and mentally, from that as we have had here before.
3. The general resistance of the system we find at a lower ebb than we have had before at all. This is produced, as we see, through those physical conditions wherein the whole system is attacked through the forming of those poisons and bacilli, through the toxins as absorbed in the system, through uric acid that is taken back in system; and through the debilitation of the mental forces by STRAIN in the mental and physical manner to the body.
4. As we see, for the best of the body physically and mentally, the body should NOT EVER be in that condition that he WORRIES over physical and mental ATTITUDES toward conditions. This we see much of at present.
5. The PHYSICAL should have sufficient exercise in the open, and among many peoples, that the mental attitude, mental outlook, may be CHANGED from that from within. For, as has often been given, the expenditure of the efforts of this body, physically and mentally, SHOULD be for OTHERS. For, to give the best; for the best to be found, experienced, or to give the best mentally, physically to self, is to expend same on others. When the condition is such that the whole condition of body, physically and mentally, is introspective, this becomes as poison to the body, physically and mentally; and with this weakened condition, through toxins, or absorption of toxins and poor assimilation in the system, the vitality goes to a low ebb.
6. To overcome same, and how to do so, there has been given much that the entity has NOT adhered to fully.
7. Not so much medicine in the system, except of the CORRECT
294-69 Page 2
nature and character. For, little of that will do, or be much more effective than much that irritates, rather than assists. Only producing assistance through irritation does not build in the physical forces of the body.
8. We would use Toris Compound, RATHER than the phosphate with the chlorine which has been used. This, as we find, will not only cleanse the intestinal tract and GIVE the correct impetus to the functioning of the system, in the eliminating system of the kidneys and liver, but will STIMULATE the jejunum, through the increasing of the lactic principles in the intestinal tract.
9. Well, too, that the HIGH enemas be used, that the colon may be cleansed. For, without the functioning of the portion in the head or, or at the beginning of ascending colon (which has been removed), we find the system lacks that necessary to create the correct movement of the muscles of the ascending and transverse colon. And when feces become to that state where the absorption of poisons from same (or toxins) are taken into the system, it becomes detrimental to the blood supply, to the nerve reaction, and irritation is created physically and mentally. And with the exciting of the mental forces and reaction through such - as a portion is necessary to use through the subconscious forces, then these become detrimental to the body.
10. As is seen, there has NOT been too much of psychic work, but too much of a KIND of psychic work. There needs rather be the expending of self for others in a physical and mental manner, than of CONTROLLING others in a mental and physical manner.
11. Ready for questions.
12. (Q) Should the battery [Radio-Active Appliance] be used at present? (A) WHEN the properties are applied in the system that will cleanse system more properly, THEN we would use battery. Not with the system re-absorbing poisons in same. For, the battery vibration is to equalize. With poisons in same, ALL become poisoned by being equalized. And with the system at the state of LOW resistance, this would be more detrimental than beneficial. When at least half the quantity of that property as given is USED, then begin with the battery; using it at least every other day for ten days to two weeks, see?
13. (Q) Using the gold? (A) Using the gold.
14. (Q) Is the body smoking too much? (A) At times. It does not give the resistance, or assist the resistance, yet often is necessary for the quieting of

the nerves produced by over-reaction. Use the Toris Compound, see, either with simple syrup or with whiskey. Whiskey would be better.
15. (Q) Is that all that is necessary? (A) That is all, but that's a lot to do - but DO it!
16. We are through for the present.
