Time of Reading 3:40 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Ohio.
1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of Mrs. [464], of 1605 E. ..., ..., Ohio. You will give the physical condition of this body at this time, with suggestions for the relief and improvement of same. You will answer the questions also which I will ask you regarding this body.
2. EC: We have the body here - this we have had before, you see.
3. Now, we find with the physical forces of this body many conditions show much improvement, others some aggravations, and the conditions that produce them have not been corrected along with the building up of the system. Hence we find the conditions are such as to have the appearance of shifting from time to time. The taking of the gold with Violet Ray has assisted the system in that the glands of the system are now functioning near normal; yet we find that with the condition existing in the cerebrospinal system some of the organs direct are causing disturbances, by the activities produced in system through subluxations still existent. This especially do we find in the lower dorsal and lumbar region. Hence the pressure caused through the mesenteric system and especially the tendency of the system to produce overactivity through the kidneys, and especially the bladder.
4. Now, to meet the needs of these conditions, we would not discontinue the gold and the Violet Ray altogether, but gradually reduce the doses being taken - not the time, but gradually reduce - drop by drop - the doses being taken. Then at the same period have these manipulations, osteopathically given (see, we are reverting to the same condition as has been given, yet we would follow these very specifically if we would bring the better conditions for the body), have the manipulations deep in the lower dorsal and lumbar region, until we are able to remove the pressure from the region where the pancreas and the mesenteric system are

over-active - from the pressure caused to nerve centers in the region of the hypogastric and pneumogastric plexus - these, as we see, from the 9th dorsal to the WHOLE of the sacral, see? We would apply heat to the body before the manipulations are given. Either that of direct rays from lamp or from wet heat - packs - so that the body is relaxed.
5. Beware in the diet! While this is as a hardship to the body, yet no meats - and not any sugars. Very little of potatoes or of such. Rather those of foods or vegetables that grow above the ground - though lettuce and those of salsify and asparagus and celery may be included in the diet, see? Liver as a meat may be taken in small quantities; preferably calf liver. This should not be fried hard - rather made as stew than as with grease.
6. Ready for questions.
7. (Q) What is it that we have not reached as yet with our treatments? (A) The correction of the conditions existent in 9th, 10th dorsal, the 2nd, 3rd and 4th lumbar.
8. (Q) First one organ then another becomes overcharged - what can we do for that? (A) Having the condition corrected so that the functioning of organs through the gland forces of the body may come about, and the relieving of the pressure, should bring about the better conditions of the body. Have these corrections made osteopathically, keeping up those other conditions, and with the diet we will find we will bring better conditions for this body.
9. (Q) Can I use too much of the Gold and injure my stomach? (A) We are giving to reduce the gold. The gold was not an injury. Of course too much CAN be taken, but this in the quantity as has been taken not injurious; rather as the invigoration; for, as has been given afore, the lack of proper eliminations - or a balanced elimination - the greater trouble with the body. Now, since we have a pressure producing over-activity in pancreas and pressure on the mesenteric system - that produces over strain in kidneys - we find these conditions existent. Hence to EQUALIZE this elimination by the sweats, or by the application of the heat, and by the changing in the diet from this, that or the other as is found to agree with the system, and by the manipulation, we should bring about the better adjustments for this body. Do that.
10. (Q) What is the action of the gold in the body? (A) As given.
11. (Q) When my system seems to back up, my face gets yellow, my head aches, I get light headed and my legs too weak to hold me up, is there some way of discharging this
464-6 Page 3
toxin from my system and relieving that distress? (A) By equalizing the circulation and the pressure as is produced on the body in the eliminating centers. Hence the sweats or the hot packs and the light for the back or spine, so that the perspiration is brought to the capillary circulation, so that the liver is aroused, so that the body is kept in the proper condition. We would add too, for the elimination, these properties: Take four [4] ounces ambrosia weed, or ragweed, in sixteen [16] ounces of water - distilled water. Reduce by simmering (not boiling) to one-half [1/2] the quantity. Strain while warm and add four [4] ounces of beet sugar first dissolved in (do not use cane sugar) two [2] ounces of water - hot water, with two [2] ounces eighty-five percent [85%] alcohol - grain alcohol, with twenty [20] minims Oil of Sassafras. The dose would be teaspoonful at bedtime, teaspoonful before breakfast. Eat the breakfast! which should consist principally of fruit or gruel. Do not eat apples, however. Citrous fruit is very good if not too much sugar is used. In the place of sugar there may be used on the fruits that of the active principle of sugar, in small quantities, or a little beet sugar - not the cane sugar.
12. (Q) Why is it that when I get benefit in one way it causes trouble in another? (A) The unequalized condition in the system from pressure in the cerebrospinal system. This about the 9th to the 11th dorsal, where pressure is radiated to the solar plexus and to the mesenteric system. This prevents the coordination. Hence this relief must be brought about for the FULL correction of conditions.
13. (Q) How long should I keep on with the gold? (A) Until the quantity is reduced to the one drop at the dose, and then there will be given other suggestions for the correction, or for the condition as it has reached in the body at that time; for the changes will be regulated by the manner and the way the system responds to those corrections in the lower dorsal and lumbar and sacral regions.
14. (Q) What should be done to get at the bottom of this trouble? (A) Relieve those conditions in the cerebrospinal nerve system.
15. We are through with this reading.
