Time of Reading Sun Air Farm, 10:50 to 11:00 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. Oak Ridge, N.J. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [567], this we have had before.
2. As we find, there are improvements in the general physical condition of this body from that we have had before. While there are still those reactions where and when the incoordination between the sympathetic and the cerebrospinal systems causes and produces the contraction of the nerves and muscular forces as to bring the loss of conscious coordination, these are on the decrease in the number and in their severity. However, we still find these DO react.
3. While this has grown to be somewhat of a constitutional condition, yet - as we find, if there will be the persistency in the following of the suggestions that may be outlined for this body from time to time, AS CONDITIONS change, it may be met; for this condition is a very subtle one. And while there may be those things that have been and are contributory causes, these changed - the system having adjusted itself to a condition that at times PRODUCES same - there is the seeking to express itself in another way and manner. But the general conditions are on the improve.
4. Be persistent and be consistent, and we will RID the body of these conditions.
5. As indicated and shown, there is a condition in the axis at the 1st cervical, or 1st and 2nd cervical, that needs particular attention. This should be more in the form of - not like wringing the neck, but - raising the body by the head, that it may be in an alignment. This, of course, is not as much out of place in the present as it has been.
6. In making the adjustment in the cervical and in the lower lumbar, as indicated, this would preferably be made with the body lying on abdomen and then standing on the right side of the body the pressure would be TOWARDS the left, see? and
567-4 Page 2
down, with the knuckle or with the hand. This is the main adjustment. Why? This radiation from the ganglia and plexus here causes the contraction in the caecum and the lacteal duct area.
7. And we find that, then, the diet and the activities of the body have much to do with the general conditions in the body of [567]. These should be kept in the way that has been given.
8. THIS we would alter in the present:
9. From EVERY condition that is of true epileptic nature there will be found a cold spot or area between the lacteal duct and the caecum. Over this area every other day, in the afternoon when the body rests from its physical exercise in the open, apply Castor Oil packs, for a period of at least TWO times every other day applying the pack as hot as the body can stand; letting one remain until it is cool or cold, then apply the other - directly to the skin. This would be with three thicknesses of flannel dipped in Castor Oil, applied directly to the skin; then heat again, or have the oil hot, making the second application at each treatment. Let them extend from the lower portion of the lobe of the liver to the upper portion of the hip itself. We will break up this tendency for the lymph ducts, in the ducts of the lacteals and in the caecum and colon (ascending here), that tendency for contraction and for the activities that help to bring on the conditions that produce incoordination to the nerve forces of the body.
10. Do this.
11. Be mindful that there is not too much stimulation either through smoking, chewing, drinking, or anything of the kind; but let the activities be in the open, and work sufficient to get up a good SWEAT. Then the rubdown from same is necessary for the poisons and the combinations of the conditions, and will aid the body.
12. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) Do we understand that the right side adjustment to be given - (A) (Interrupting) This has been given. When on the abdomen, and standing on the right side push TOWARDS the left - and down.
14. (Q) Would cold sitz baths be of value? (A) As we find, the oil packs will be preferable to the cold sitz baths.
15. (Q) Would gas pressure cause the turns? (A) As indicated, we will relieve this - it is from a form of gas pressure in the caecum and lacteal duct area. This will be relieved by the use of the oil packs, for it strikes
567-4 Page 3
in - rather than the cold, which would tend to make for a relief but NOT call the lymph circulation through the area.
16. (Q) Is my diet correct? (A) If the diet is kept as has been outlined, correct.
17. (Q) Will the cyst at the base of my spine disappear? (A) Disappear. We would use an ointment with which to massage this, a combination of Iodex with the Animated Ash. To one ounce of the Iodex add three GRAINS Animated Ash. Mix THOROUGHLY. Apply each evening before retiring.
18. (Q) Then you would not suggest we try cold abdomen packs at night? (A) We would give rather every other day, as indicated, when the body rests in the afternoon, the hot Castor Oil packs over the right side - from the lower lobe of the liver to the hip bone, or pelvis bone, coming into the caecum area.
19. (Q) How much better am I? (A) Thirty-seven and three-tenths percent!
20. (Q) Any further advice for my better welfare? (A) Be consistent and persistent. Don't expect to be cured in a day of that which has been builded for years, for it requires that not only the condition but the impulses be corrected towards normalcy.
21. We are through with this reading. Copy to Self " " H. J. Reilly " " Ass'n file " " Mr. [643] (GD's note 9/25/34: [567], your father can get the Animated Ash for you to mix with the Iodex; it is made in Chicago by Bradley, 5443 Maryland Ave., in fact, I think it was suggested in your father's reading so he probably has some on hand. Following all these, keeping away from meats, sweets and starches, you should come along fine. GD.)
