1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [416]; and this we have had before.
2. As we find, conditions are much improved in many ways, through the general physical forces of the body. There are still some disorders that arise from those tendencies that have been indicated in the digestive forces and the eliminations that make for distresses at times with the system.
3. There should be those precautions as to the diet, as indicated. And while this is being changed or altered, we would take internally those properties that would make for an activity with the gastric flow, that would make for the better assimilations with the forces that are disturbed in the body.
4. So, about every other day - at one time, preferably in the evening after the meal - take a quarter teaspoonful of Al-Caroid; first dissolved in a little water, then a full glass of water added, and then drink another whole glass of water afterward. This, as we find, will work with the gastric flow of the system.
5. Combined with this, also once or twice a week, but not on the same days the Al-Caroid is taken - though it may be taken AT the same time one of the Al-Caroid doses is taken; that is, afterwards - take two tablets of the Bile Salts and Caroid. This will make for a stimulation of the secretions from the liver as combined with the gastric flow through the intestinal system.
6. Also once or twice a week, preferably after the NOON meal, it would be well to take the effervescent salts - as may be had with those that work with the carbonates of soda, see; or Citrocarbonates may be taken at times also. These would make for the correcting of the gastric flow.
7. In the diet, be mindful that we do not have too great a quantity of meats; but those that are boiled, roasted or
416-6 Page 2
broiled are much better than any fried meats of ANY kind. Not too great a quantity, or LITTLE of the fats should be taken with same.
8. The conditions in the general structural portions of the body, as we find, are much improved. There should be occasionally - once to twice a month - the general manipulations to prevent the poisons that arise from the incoordination in the assimilating forces to be eliminated from the system. The throat condition and the eyes are showing improvements; these treatments we would continue occasionally, as has been indicated.
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) Kindly give me full information concerning diet, exercise, etc., to produce correct digestion. (A) As indicated, be mindful that there are no fried foods; that meats when they are taken should be only roasted, broiled or boiled. Adhere more to the vegetable diet. As to the exercise, it would be well that a general exercise - that is, of the setting-up exercise - be taken for three to five minutes specifically morning and evening. These would be well to aid. That which has been indicated, to make for the proper correction with disturbed organs' functioning, by the use of the properties indicated, should correct the digestive forces.
11. (Q) Running of eyes and blurring does not seem to clear up. What other treatment is necessary? (A) As indicated. These conditions are better than has been indicated heretofore. Occasionally take those manipulations and adjustments in the upper dorsal and cervical area; these should make for the continuing on the improve - unless cold or congestion or some other condition arises.
12. (Q) Ear trouble does not seem to clear up. Is there any other treatment necessary? (A) This, as indicated, is a portion of the disturbance in the sensory circulation; arising from the upper dorsal and through the cervical area. These tendencies arise from acidity in the system. And when there are those reactions from the disturbance in the gastric flow, the natural tendency is for the producing of an incoordination in the nerve reflexes to those portions that are weakest in the system. If these things are followed as indicated, they should correct the conditions.
13. (Q) About how long after eating the potato peels before
416-6 Page 3
signs of results should be seen? (A) They should be seen in three to five weeks; though these are NATURALLY a growth. And it would require from three to six months to see any DEFINITE changes, unless there is NOTED the reactions in the system regularly.
14. (Q) After correcting digestion, will nervousness disappear and will I be able to concentrate as I should? (A) Nervousness should disappear with the correction of the dissipation of those disturbing forces in the digestive system; and keeping the coordinations as indicated by the occasional manipulations to make for the prevention of disturbance in any specific centers.
15. (Q) Will I be able to concentrate as I should? (A) This will be a great change, to be sure; and should be able.
16. (Q) How about going in salt water in the ocean? (A) Unless this is when there are those periods of digestion taking place, this is HELPFUL to the body.
17. (Q) Any other advice to the body at this time? (A) We would do these, as indicated. These would be taken as outlined, occasionally. NOT that the system comes to depend upon same, but as a stimulation to the gastric flow that naturally makes for those tendencies for disturbances as indicated in the nerve forces and in those conditions where weaknesses are indicated. Follow those suggestions outlined, and we will find the better relief - and the normalcy for this body.
