Time of Reading 11:00 to 11:20 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., N.Y. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body here; this we have had before, Mrs. [327].
2. Now, while we find conditions rather serious, and the resistance less efficient, as we find, there may be added that to and for the system that will enable the body to create or make for better resistances in the physical forces of the body.
3. While this application would at times be rather strenuous for the body, if these treatments are given in the proper way and manner we find this will reduce the pressure on the heart's action, it will eliminate much of the poisons that disturb the circulation, it will remove those pressures that make for the tendency of swelling in portions of the system - especially in the lower limbs and feet; it would also remove those pressures that disturb the functioning of the kidneys in their normal way and manner and relieve the irritation to the muco-membranes of throat, head, digestive system, fullness in the stomach area, tendency for palpitation of the heart, those sinking spells that occur, undue weakness in portions of the system, etc. For, these effects, as we find, are from toxic forces or conditions that exist throughout the system.
4. In making the applications, then, we would use the high enemas to relieve the pressure in the colon, and to allow the better circulation throughout the system.
5. It will be necessary that precautions be taken and that this be done with the idea in mind that there must not be too great an irritation to those portions in the system that have caused so much disorder and trouble, from the tendency of the constipation to produce the hemorrhoids and their resultant conditions in the system.
6. But use the type of enema that will gradually break up those impactions; and there should ever be used an antiseptic with each enema taken (and there should be at
327-4 Page 2
least two taken each week, until six or eight have been taken, see?).
7. At each operation in giving the enema, you see there should be - at some portion of the period - the use of Petrolagar and Glyco-Thymoline in the waters injected. Also at a portion of the period there should be used those properties of bicarbonate of soda (plain baking soda) and salt. The proportions would be as this:
8. With the first injections, use - to the gallon of water - a level teaspoonful of salt and two teaspoonsful of soda.
9. When the oils are used, put in a tablespoonful of the oil (or Petrolagar, and be sure to use the Non-acid) and a tablespoonful of the Glyco-Thymoline, to a quart and a half of water.
10. We would be mindful that the general stimuli for the system be kept.
11. Keep the body quiet; and it would be well that those properties given for the allaying of the inflammation and swelling (in the activities of the conditions in rectum) be used. These may be applied - for the higher portions - in the enema, with the oils that are used with same - as K.Y. [?] Jelly.
12. Be mindful that the diet is not too much of a strain for the digestive system.
13. We will find that the general massage will be helpful if given once, or twice even, each day.
14. The bathing of the feet in hot mustard water will be beneficial also.
15. For those conditions that disturb in head, and the pressures on same, we would massage those oils that may be combined in this manner - for the cervical area, back of head, and in temples:
16. To 2 ounces of pure olive oil, add: Oil of Cedar [Pinus Cembra?]........1/2 ounce, Oil of Cadmond [Cardamon?]..........1/2 ounce, Oil of Sassafras....................1/4 ounce.
17. The Sassafras Oil tends to separate. Hence it is necessary that this solution be shaken well before each application is made, or before a quantity is poured for application. Pour about a tablespoonful in a saucer, and massage all that the body will absorb - from between the shoulders to the base of brain, temple and head, see?
18. Do this, [327].
19. Ready for questions.
20. (Q) What special type of enema was referred to? (A) Just that precautions be taken so there is not injury,
327-4 Page 3
nor great distress caused, with the condition in rectum - when enema is given. Do not try to dilate, then, too much. Use a small enema, see? But these poisons must be removed, if we will bring about better conditions. These treatments, to be sure, are to be added to the stimuli already given.
