Time of Reading 3:40 to 3:55 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. Detroit, Michigan. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body here; this we have had before.
2. Now as we find, while there are some conditions that disturb the general changes, as we find - unless there arises some condition not exhibiting itself in the present - the body is in that position or way where, with the proper precautions, near to normal health may be the effect or the result; if those precautions are taken care of as has been indicated.
3. All conditions as we find - as to the metabolism, as to the circulation, as to the glandular reaction and the glandular activity, even the whole of the nervous system - show great improvement.
4. There may be a change somewhat in the diet. However, we would not have too much of a milk diet; unless it is the dry milk, malted milk or the like. Raw milk would not be so well in the present.
5. The general vegetable diet; fish, fowl or lamb - all of these as we find may be taken.
6. The necessary forces in liver and the like are still well for the body.
7. It is not necessary that there be more of the Ventriculin unless there is shown signs of more poor elimination, or the inclination for a rash to appear on portions of the body; then this would be resumed again.
8. The manipulations have been VERY well taken care of. These should be occasionally taken now.
9. Do not overtax the self, especially in running up or down steps or jumping or lifting or pushing things with the body. All of these should be refrained from; though activity such as walking - even some golf a little bit later or even horseback riding - would be well. But, to be sure, it will be another month or six weeks before such should be attempted. However, such exercises would then be well.
10. Keep in the open as much as possible, but not too much -

for several weeks yet - in the very hot sun; but in the open air is well.
11. These as we find - if they are kept - should make for much nearer to normal conditions.
12. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) May citrus fruits be added to the diet? (A) Citrus fruits may be added. Do not combine same with cereals or starches at the same meal.
14. (Q) Any special vegetables? (A) Only as has been indicated; that a special vegetable should be a part of the diet each day.
15. (Q) Any vegetables that the body may not eat, or should avoid? (A) Cooked tomatos are not so well; although raw or well ripened or canned tomatos are very good. These, if they are prepared with other foods are not so bad as they are alone. Potatoes - these are not so well for the body as yet. These a little bit later, by the latter part of August or first of September, may become better as a part of the diet. The leafy vegetables, to be sure, are preferable. A green vegetable salad each day; such as lettuce, celery or of such natures, is very well. We would not include cucumbers or radishes in the present. These may be taken somewhat later, to assist in purifying the blood - for these are good blood purifiers - but not so much as yet; a little bit later it would be well that these be included.
16. (Q) How long should the present diet be continued? (A) It can be gradually changed, as has been indicated.
17. (Q) Last urinalysis showed 1 plus sugar, no pus. Is this condition clearing up? (A) Clearing; but it is well to use those things indicated for the diet, and the properties as indicated for the appetite, as well as for the production of an activity upon the glandular system, especially as related to the activity of the pancreas. [See 480-39.]
18. (Q) Any special support to be worn now? (A) Support, of course, is very well. The regular BAND, as from cloth, and not a specially prepared belt but a band that may be a support, is the better - as we find in the present.
19. (Q) Any change advised in the osteopathic treatments? (A) As has been indicated, these are very good - and are well to be kept up occasionally.
20. (Q) About how often?
480-40 Page 3
(A) About however often it's needed! This is to be not such that the body comes to depend upon same, but to give a stimuli to the system by keeping an equal balance - rather than stimulating activity.
21. (Q) Is it advisable for the body to take a trip East to the mountains around the first of August? (A) After the tenth or fifteenth, be very well.
22. (Q) Any further advice for the body at this time? (A) Keep that optimism and that cheeriness about the whole of the activities of the body that are ever constructive in the mental and spiritual forces. These, unless the lessons are gained from the experiences - do not let them be in vain.
