Time of Reading 3:45 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Virginia. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [348] - this we have had before. The general conditions in system are very satisfactory. There must be precaution that there is not an overtaxation of the body-physical, especially of any character of strain as will cause a tightening of the muscular forces unnecessarily in the system. There also must be precaution as to the character of the atmospheric conditions, while the body is attempting to create sufficient of the COMBATIVE influences in the blood supply. Well that an antiseptic be used in throat and throughout the intestinal tract. That in throat, a combination of the alcohol with the inhalant properties that throw off, as has been given, [in wife's rdg. 340-5?], with eucalyptol and other properties as the basic forces, or that of the CLARIFIED - in the Benzosol or other properties.
2. In the diet and in the food values, build for RESISTANCE. Liver, codliver oil, olive oil - fresh vegetable forces - fruits and nuts; not too much sweets, but especially of honey and the honeycomb. Those of tripe and other properties as build for resistance in the blood supply. THESE should be the activities for the body!
3. Not too much climbing of steps. Do not lift a great deal, practically nothing should be attempted to be raised while body is on feet. Walking in the MORNING air is good. Keep out of the evening or night air. Do not have rooms too close, but plenty of ventilation - that RESISTANCES may be builded. Ready for questions.
4. (Q) Is chicken permissible to eat? (A) Just don't eat too much of it! Preferably those in meats would be of calves' liver at least twice each week, hog tripe or beef tripe, pig knuckle - such as these. These are better even than chicken. If chicken is taken, be sure it is well cleansed and broiled, not fried, or baked - see?
5. (Q) Should medicine prescribed before operation [in 348-8] be taken now?
348-10 Page 2
(A) Not now. May be later on, but not right now.
6. (Q) Is wound healing properly? (A) Very good.
7. (Q) In what form should gluten be taken? (A) Gluten should be taken in the form of rolled oats, whole wheat, or such natures. That's of the fibrin nature, and especially those of the B variety - which is as the heart of the wheats, as the heart of the oats, or as the heart of any of the cereal rices or corn, see?
8. (Q) Are cigarettes aggravating the cough? (A) Be better were these in more moderation. Some is helpful, but excess is harmful.
9. (Q) How many can body smoke a day without being harmful? (A) Five to six. [See 348-25 Reports, indicating bronchiectasis developed in his last yrs.]
10. (Q) What causes bloody sputum, and what remedy for same? (A) Irritation in throat, weakness through cold and congestion. The remedy, as has been given, is the inhalant for throat and lungs, see? As for intestine, use the Glyco- Thymoline - three to five drops every other day. These would be well.
11. (Q) Are kidneys functioning properly? (A) Some distress has been experienced, and is. Not NORMAL as yet, but we do not want to produce too much taxation to system. Hence the foods and non-activities WILL be the better change at the present. Counter-irritants would be harmful, as we find, at present. Would be well for the body to occasionally have - once or twice each week the thorough manipulations, and follow same with the ultra violet light, but not directly to the wounds, to be sure; either on shoulders or the lower portions of the body - and these made from the back, not from the front.
12. (Q) Were the iron injections given sufficient to normalize the blood? (A) Normalize the blood for the proper administration of food values as will ASSIMILATE.
13. That is all the questions regarding this body.
