Time of Reading 12:40 to 12:55 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Va.
1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for the improvement of same.
2. EC: We have the body here.
3. There are many changes in the physical forces of the body since last we had same here. The greater number of these, as we see, are for the improvement of the physical forces and of the resistance as is created in the vital forces of the system.
4. The changes in environmental and in altitude are well for the body [from Ky. to Va. last month], and the body needs only to keep those suggestions as have been made for the general physical improvement of the body.
5. In the eliminations, more of the iodine and the iodine reaction is needed in the body - as is indicated by that being produced by the whole vegetable diet - and more of the properties that carry the heavier foods that will be assimilated are necessary. These, as we see, may be included rather, then, in those of the tuberous now, and those of that carrying little grease - not heavy - but rather of the mineral or vegetable force than of the hog grease. These will be beneficial to the body. This should be followed in a manner consistent with that the body has been following, but blood reaction shows too much potash. Any form of the assimilating iodines in the body will be beneficial for the body in the reaction through the circulatory system, especially pulmonaries.
6. The body would find that massages over the body occasionally of cocoa butter would be well, and to prevent congestion in the body - those of cocoa butter and cocoa quinine - one part quinine to the three parts cocoa butter, rubbed into chest, arm pits and groins, see?
7. Do that.
8. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) What should be done for the injury on the elbow on the left arm?
304-12 Page 2
(A) Massage same with Iodex, or any of those properties that reduce same. Equal parts of salt and vinegar, or Iodex, or iodine, or ANY of those properties that reduce strain and inflammation, see?
10. (Q) Should there be any change in the inhalant that is being used? [As given in 304-8.] (A) Keep that as at present, for the present. Watch rather the diet. Calcidin is well for the body if taken occasionally, as addition of calcium or salt and iodine - this would be assimilated. One tablet taken as the body is ready to retire would be well, each day, see? Shell fish well for the body. Lobster, clam - clam chowders, soups, or such. THESE carry iodine. Taken occasionally. Not the whole diet of this, of course - just occasionally. In season, oysters are well. These are better in the roast, or in the raw, than in milk or grease. Not too much sweets, though a LITTLE of sweets that carry the acid of fruits may be taken occasionally, see?
11. We are through for the present.
