1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [458].

2. Now, as we find, while many conditions of the body appear to be near normal, there are those conditions that exist that are VERY abnormal for THIS body - and for other bodies.

3. These conditions have to do with the eliminations and the characterizing of these in their varied effects; also that they produce upon the body.

4. Then, these are the conditions as we find them with this body, [458] we are speaking of, present in this room:

5. The BLOOD SUPPLY in its examination shows in some respects normal reaction, though in other respects there is the effect not only of a nerve condition but glandular. That which is PRODUCING these, however, is the cause, and not these effects either in the glands or in the nerves. The nerves are affected, the GLANDS are affected, but the basic cause of these is in the position of segmentations or segments along the cerebrospinal system as related to one another and - specifically - that which exists in the coccyx end of the spine as related to a subluxation in the 2nd and 3rd dorsal.

6. Segments do not align. These subluxations, and this curve particularly in the coccyx end, are the basis of the effects being produced in the nerve system; in the glands' activity the conditions that bring about disturbances in producing coordination in the eliminating channels - that make for, in the lymph and emunctory circulation in portions of the body, the characterizations of excesses of drosses that should be carried through other channels - either through the respiratory system or through the alimentary canal or through the hepatic circulation.

7. For, toxics - and the ENSUING effects of these upon the nerves - are those things that disturb this body, [458], present in this room.

8. As to the applications, then, that have been made - that are being made for correction of the condition, as the glands are distressed the activities that make for better functionings of same will be found effective and necessary. But to give or to conclude same either from the nervous standpoint alone or from the glandular standpoint alone is to work backwards, with the relieving!

9. First we would relieve those subluxations in the coccyx end, in the 2nd and 3rd dorsal area. Not that the others, when such treatments are given, are not to be made coordinating by the mental suggestions!

10. For, as impulses have arisen in this body from the various periods of activity, it is asked, how did this occur in the coccyx end?

11. It is the effect as from sliding down a bannister. Twelve to thirteen years, yes.

12. The subluxation produced in the upper dorsal, as indicated, is sympathetic, and makes the nerve reactions as of a body supersensitive to suggestion.

13. After the corrections of the subluxations are made, the condition may be reached through two methods. Either through the subjugation of the mentality through positive suggestion in hypnosis, or through gland injections and the application of electrical forces that will assist in purifying the blood supply.

14. Ready for questions.

15. (Q) How many and how often should the treatments be given to relieve the spinal condition? (A) How many taps would there be on a splinter to improve or to make for perfect unison in making a splice? Until the conditions (that will be found there by the examination) stay or remain in their positive positions; both in the coccyx and in the upper dorsal center. See? This may require only twenty-eight to thirty. It may require even less. DEPENDENT upon how well and how sincere the response is - that is, mentally and physically - from the body to whom the treatments are applied, in making the corrections. THEN, when the corrections are normal, choose either the hypnosis or suggestive forces, or the gland and electrical treatment. Which would be better? Some who would give the one method of treatment would be better than some in the

other, and vice versa. To be sure, the more positive may be had through the gland and the electrical treatment; that is, gland injection - provided the gland serum is ALWAYS CLEAN; for it is dangerous to ever inject serums into any live organism unless perfectly clear! It is also dangerous to submit to submerging of self through hypnosis, unless the body-mind of such an operator is in accord with CONSTRUCTIVE forces in a body! Not impossible! The whole condition deserves the best. Do that.

16. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file
