1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [618].
2. As we find, these conditions in the present, that are arising because of rather an acute disturbance, are not so good.
3. Not only from the astrological aspects of the body but disturbances that have been arising from the general accumulations of the plethora or dilation of a portion of the colon; especially in the ascending and a portion of the transverse - that is, in the right side and across the abdomen.
4. This has produced, and backs up, poisons in the system that have affected the heart circulation, by pressures on the nerve system; such as to make for a spreading or an oozing - not only in the lymph but in the arteries themselves.
5. Thus we find pressures have been produced between the sympathetic and cerebrospinal systems so that there is in the left portion of the body that tendency for the deadening; in the arms and the areas about the upper brachial center, reflexly through those activities of the same circulatory forces to the left side of the lower limbs.
6. And unless we can produce absorption, these as we find must make for greater serious troubles with the body.
7. As we would find, then, in the present:
8. First we would massage gently an equal combination of Oil of Wintergreen and Olive Oil into the body; over the abdominal area, lower portion of the stomach and even lower down or the whole of the abdominal area.
9. Then apply (over the same area) hot Castor Oil Packs. Keep this up continuously for several hours; three to four hours.
10. Then have administered a high enema to eliminate that from the system that is causing those pressures.
11. Then begin with a massage, first osteopathically given, that would remove the tensions in the cervical, the upper

dorsal and through the central portion of the dorsal AND lumbar area.
12. And following the osteopathic manipulations we would massage along the spine (this is extra from the osteopathic treatment, you see), AWAY from the head, with an equal combination of Olive Oil and Tincture of Myrrh.
13. These entire applications would be repeated on the morrow if there is not the quieting of the disturbance for the body.
14. The diet should consist of rather the liquids and semi liquids, than those too hard to be assimilated.
15. Keep the eliminations well, even though it may become necessary to use vegetable compounds - but NOT minerals, for the body under the present conditions.
16. Do that.
17. Ready for questions.
18. (Q) Do you mean that the whole course of treatments would be given again tomorrow? (A) If there is the continued nausea, weakness and upsetting through the system.
19. (Q) What causes the severe pain and soreness in back of head and neck? (A) Pressure upon the system in those areas indicated, and the exceedingly high pressure in the blood supply.
20. (Q) Does this also cause the shortness of breath? (A) It's the pressure upon those portions that have made the affectation to the pulsations of the heart itself.
21. (Q) And the cramping of hands and feet? (A) This is from pressures upon the nerve system, as indicated. When the massage is given with the Olive Oil and Myrrh, heat the oil to add the myrrh, and massage not only along the spine but around the limbs as well as down the centers of the nerves to same; under the arms, you see, along the whole length of the arm, under side, following the nerves to the fingertips - as well as the limbs themselves to the feet; removing the pressures. This is so the circulation may be released for better eliminations.
22. (Q) Should this rub come after or before the osteopathic treatment? (A) AFTER. The osteopathic treatments are to release those pressures between the sympathetic and cerebrospinal system, in the centers and plexus along the cerebrospinal system; while the massage afterwards for the limbs and along the spine is more for muscular forces than for the deeper circulation - or for the superficial circulation.
23. We are through with this Reading.
