Time of Reading 4:15 to 4:30 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Ohio. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body here; this we have had before.
2. As we find, there are many changes in the physical forces of the body since last we had same here.
3. However, the present condition is rather of the acute nature; from overindulgence in those things that produce an excess acidity to an already unbalanced system.
4. Then, there is needed the local or specific applications in the present. And there may be taken the advantage of the condition to also supply those things that would make for a helpfulness in the general physical forces of the body.
5. As we find in the present, the acute condition arises from the superacidity; not only in the general eliminating system but in the stomach and the duodenum itself.
6. Hence we have nausea, headaches, dizziness, inability to walk, inability for the body to move about without a great deal of discomfort.
7. The specific conditions also make for an excess of sugar in the system. Hence the kidneys become involved in the condition, making for a superabundance of a chalky or red condition in the activity of the urine itself or an excess of the uric acid.
8. Through the acidity, we find that in the structural portions along the cerebrospinal system - as indicated - there has been produced a greater accumulation, or the greater tendencies for the plethora of the congested areas.
9. Hence we have an engorgement or an enlargement that is indicated even along the exterior portion, or may be easily found or indicated.
10. Then, in meeting the conditions, as we find in the present - we would use these; then later, after there has been the cleansing of the system with the use of the properties indicated, we would add other applications for the general strength of the body:
11. Begin first, then, with the Zilatone Tablets. Take two
464-16 Page 2
of morning before there is a meal taken. Take two in the evening just before retiring. Take just the four, you see; two in the morning, two in the evening.
12. The next morning (following the day of taking the Zilatone Tablets as indicated), before arising, take three teaspoonsful of Fleet's PHOSPHO - SODA in a whole glass of water as hot as the body can take same. Lie on the right side AFTER this has been taken, putting a pillow or some obstruction (as it were) under the area of the liver itself. Lie in that position for thirty minutes, unless the body has to arise for the activities that will ensue; for it will drain the gall bladder - and it is necessary for the eliminations to be so increased as to DRAIN the whole system in this manner.
13. Following same, the NEXT day, begin with small doses of Fletcher's Castoria. Take a teaspoonful every hour until a whole quantity in a small-sized bottle has been taken.
14. Then, after waiting a day or two, begin - for the GENERAL conditions - with a massage once each day, preferably just before retiring, with a combination of oils prepared in this manner:
15. To 4 ounces of Russian White Oil as the base, add - in the order named: Oil of Wintergreen.................1/2 ounce, Cedar Wood Oil.......................1 ounce, Kerosene Oil.......................1/2 ounce, Sassafras Oil......................1/4 ounce. Shake these together, for they will tend to separate. Pour a small quantity into an open container, and massage into the body just what the body will absorb. Massage in a circular motion DOWN FROM the area between the shoulders (4th dorsal) to the end of the spine on either side of the spine. Then massage over the spine, itself, and then one long - or two or three long SWEEPING pressures with the massage.
16. In the matter of the diet, keep rather to those foods that are of the alkalin-reacting nature during the time the cathartics or eliminants are being taken. THEN there may be used a general diet.
17. Desires for specific or unusual foods or diets are because of the lack of a balancing in the metabolism of the chemical forces in the body itself. Hence we would find the body would be materially aided by the use of small quantities of Atomidine (after the other properties for eliminations have been completed). Take same for five days
464-16 Page 3
at a period, one minim (drop) in a half glass of water each morning upon arising. Then leave it off for a week; then repeat again for three or four or five periods (of five days at a period).
18. Do these.
19. Ready for questions.
20. (Q) Why do I always crave something to eat and can't figure out what it is? (A) This has just been given. Do these things in the present. Then, when the general conditions have been aided - or have responded, we would give those instructions that would be more applicable for the general condition. This is a specific condition that is needing attention in the present. Do that.
21. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file
