Time of Reading 10:50 to 11:10 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Ky. [As of yesterday morning, EC ill then and not able to keep the appointment] (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [605], July 6, 1934, ..., Ky. This we have had before.
2. As we find, with the conditions here it might be said - in the parlance of some - "I told you so."
3. As we have indicated, the disturbing factors in the physical forces of the body are of such natures that they are rather as the warnings to the body, that there be corrections made in the physical body in the present, when they are less disturbing now than they will be if the conditions are allowed to continue or to grow to such an extent as to become so much a portion of the general physical organism - and gradually, through the hold upon the system, disturb the various impulses in the system as to make for a great deal of disorder. On the other hand, if these are corrected in the present, it will require far less disturbance and make for a much easier manner or nature in which the corrections may be made, and thus PREVENT the disorders and disturbances that will later be a result of neglect on the part of the body and of those that may be said to be in part or wholly responsible for that which is affected in this active force of this body, [605].
4. There has been, as we have indicated, a subluxation and a pressure in the upper dorsal and in the cervical areas such as to prevent the normal flow, the normal impulse, the normal nerve activity through the bronchi, through the throat, through the vocal box, through the organs of the head and throat. That the correction was partly made brought about an improvement in the condition, but with the arising of impulses for the conditions to become irritated, those ganglia and impulses from the disturbed portions of the body then produce again - in their cycle of activity, under the stress that arises at times in every physical
605-2 Page 2
organism - much GREATER disturbances than have been heretofore exhibited or shown in the body, until recently. The effects are seen in portions of the throat, disturbed elements or organs, or disturbed glands - as the tonsils, adenoids, soft tissue in the face, nasal cavity, even behind the ear - when there has been at times in the activities even in the body (especially do we find this early of morning, and wears off) a tingling in the ear, or a buzzing somewhat, that gradually abates and gives little or no trouble. These are the effects of conditions in the system.
5. It is true that there may be aid and assistance given to the impulses of the mental organism of the body by the application, or concerted action of the spiritual forces that may manifest in a material world through the material organism. But when a physical organism - that is separate or apart - has become so overtaxed with physical forces in itself as to produce disturbance, it requires - as we will see indicated in this body - that mechanical aid ALSO be brought to bear, that the greater impulse and influence may be brought to bear upon the portions of the system that are under stress and strain.
6. Then, for the corrections, as we would find in this time for this body, we would have a perfect alignment made through the chiropractic or osteopathic adjustments that will make for the relief of the pressure specifically in the upper dorsal and throughout the cervical area.
7. We would also have applied, for at least two or three periods, the electrical forces in the diathermy; so that we may allay or coordinate the activity of the nerve impulses and thus keep from the blood supply the tendencies for the portions of the blood to ACCUMULATE where there has been and is the tendency for the slowing up of the circulation through the affected parts.
8. And it'll not be necessary for operative forces, other than the corrections and the low electrical treatments.
9. The diathermy treatments we would take two or three each week, for two or three weeks. Then rest two or three weeks from these treatments, you see; then begin again, continuing until there have been at least sixteen such treatments given.
10. We would have adjustments in the same ratio and same manner.
11. During these periods be mindful that the diets are kept much in the nature of the alkalin reactions; not too much sweets nor too much starches particularly.
12. And we will find we will not only overcome these conditions but, most of all, we will prevent much greater
605-2 Page 3
disturbances in the physical and in the mental body through those periods that affect the suggestive forces of the body - through this hindrance in the speech and in the approach the body is able to make to many things; and bring a much nearer normal and a more perfect coordinating and acting physical force in the body of [605].
13. Ready for questions.
14. (Q) Would the removal of my tonsils prevent my stammering permanently? (A) It would NOT; but would only do this: SUBJUGATING the body through those forces necessary for such an operation would, for the time, materially aid; but as time goes on (as it has a way of doing) we would gradually find that there would gradually return the forces that would prove just as severe or even more so, but the organs or tonsils are NECESSARY in the body! These kept in a healthy state are as the scavengers for the system. And making the corrections where those segments show subluxation or depression or non-alignment, adding to the system the electrical forces, will not only cleanse the organs themselves but will purify the whole blood stream and make for not only a permanent relief from stammering but other conditions mentally and physically would be prevented that WILL arise unless the body is cleansed and the pressures removed.
15. (Q) Were there not enough corrections made, or were they not correctly given? (A) Not ENOUGH of the treatments given to MAKE for PERMANENT alignment in the areas indicated. Do these, and we will bring the better conditions to this body.
16. We are through with this reading. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file (See enclosed letter with directions to an Osteopath or Chiropractor whom you may choose to give you the treatments. It may be that you could get the diathermy treatments from the same office. I understand that Dr. Sargeant is a chiropractor, and that he also has a diathermy machine. Also I find listed as a member of The American Osteopathic Association, Dr. Martha D. Beard, 1610 S. Virginia Street; however, she may not have the diathermy machine so that she can give you the treatments from the same office. However,

you can figure that out for yourself, and choose whichever one you think best; just so you be sure to follow ALL the suggestions AS GIVEN. The enclosed Alkalin Reacting diet list also might be of help, as it seems your diet should consist principally of these foods. GD.)
