1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [631]; this we have had before.
2. Ready for questions.
3. (Q) Those who are now attempting to administer the treatments desire advice and guidance in order that they may become channels through which the required aid to the recovery of this body may be accomplished or aiding in the accomplishment. Please give cause for the following conditions and the proper method or mediums to employ to correct or eliminate: 1. Gas; Indigestion - (A) (Interrupting) This, as we find, arises from the lack of the elements within the system to produce sufficient lacteal fluids to produce assimilation in the body. And from fermentation that naturally is using up the gastric flow through lymph circulation, there is produced constipation throughout the alimentary canal.
4. (Q) Pain in right shoulder, back and neck on right side. (A) Those tendencies for the arthritic activity in the system to work upon the gastric flow or lack of same through the digestive area or the tube through which proteins are acted upon over or through the right side and especially through the shoulder and those portions of the lung area.
5. (Q) Swelling in knees, ankles and left hand. (A) This again is the effect of the arthritic activity in the system, or too great a quantity of the salts of the system that produce stiffening or crystallizing, as it were, of the tendon and muscular forces. Or the lack of sufficient quantity of lymph circulation. For arthritis is, in its incipiency or in its greater activity, an attack upon the lymph circulation; either by the lack of activities in the secreting glands of the system to supply sufficient oils and nutriment for the muscular and tendon forces, that is experienced first in extremities as in hands, knees, feet or elbows or the like, or all combined. First it is a
631-6 Page 2
disturbance in the circulation, really a disturbance in the lymph circulation, and is a portion of this distress in this body of [631] in the present.
6. (Q) Itching inside at heels of feet. (A) As the burses of the feet, or the small pockets where there is the supplying of the very fluids that we are seeking; these then in their activity - or lack of secretion - produce this as an effect.
7. (Q) Frequent loss of appetite. (A) Lack of proper secretions for digestive system.
8. (Q) What is the proper method or medicines to apply to correct or eliminate all of these conditions? (A) Let's, then, for the moment discard or disregard all that has been given. If there is the desire on the part of the body FIRST in itself to have applied and to be consistent and persistent in the applications of those elements and influences necessary, first there must be a change in the mental attitude of the body. There must be eradicated that of any judgment or of condemnation on the part of self as respecting self or ANY associated with the body in ANY manner, either previously or in the present. This must be eradicated from the mind. How? By filling same with constructive loving influence towards self, towards others, and as these are raised within the consciousness of self by the proper thinking, with the less and less of condemnation to anyone, these create the proper surroundings, the proper attitude. The next in the matter of the diets, these - as has been indicated - should be in this manner: Mornings - citrus fruit juices, or cereals. DO NOT give cereals and citrus fruit juices at the same meal, or in the same time of day even at all! When one is taken do NOT take the other THAT DAY, see? When the fruit juices or citrus fruit juices are taken, mix lemon WITH the orange juice - a teaspoonful of lemon juice to a glass of orange juice for this body. Grapefruit juice or the pulp and the fruit. Pineapple. Any of these with a brown bread, whole wheat or rye, or the combination of these but all toasted. A little butter may be taken with the brown bread. Cocoa, Ovaltine or the like, or Sanka coffee may be taken with or at this same meal. The yolks of eggs that are coddled, NOT the whites of same. These may be taken, or the cereals - preferably as whole wheat, as bran with oatmeal, or with the crushed grain as the combinations in any of those. SPECIFICALLY, at least two or three times a week, have the
631-6 Page 3
combination of the whole wheat with barley - as in Maltex. At times the raw cereal as of the puffed wheat, puffed rice or puffed corn may be taken, if it is desired by the body. At such times milk may be taken with this cereal. DO NOT take cereals and citrus fruit juices in the same day or period at all! Noons - preferably the entirely green raw vegetables; such as tomatoes, lettuce, celery, carrots, peppers, lettuce, radish, the raw spinach, raw mustard or onions or onion tops. These may be taken with whole wheat wafers with a mayonnaise or salad dressing. Evenings - Rather the vegetables that are prepared in their OWN salts, or OWN fluids; NOT as cooked other than in a steamer or in Patapar paper. And use the juices of same as a portion of the diet, for the vitamins and the necessary salts that will create the fluids in the system are found in these. If meats at all are taken they would be of lamb or fowl or liver or tripe, provided this is NOT fried at all. With each of these meals, or just after same, take three to ten drops of Lactated Pepsin with a quarter teaspoonful of Milk of Bismuth. Take these properties just after the meals for a period of a week, then have a rest period of leaving them off for two or three days, then begin again - until we have changed the whole of the gastric flow of the stomach itself and those fluids in same. We would have the oil rubs each day before retiring, preferably the olive oil base and these combined with it in this proportion: To 4 ounces of Olive Oil, add: Oil of Wintergreen.............1 ounce, Oil of Mustard...............1/4 ounce, Kerosene Oil...................2 ounces, Oil of Sassafras.............1/4 ounce. These will, of course, tend to make for reddening. Shake them well together. Massage the body along the spine and especially from the fingertips to the shoulders and from the toes to the body, using a rotary motion as it is massaged into the body. Well that this be massaged across the lower portion of the abdomen and across the whole of the stomach area, as well as along the spine.

We would take the vibrations from the Radio-Active Appliance once each day for an hour, taking the Wet Cell Appliance that carries the Gold to the body - keeping the plates or the anodes clean by polishing. The first attachment of the Wet Cell Battery would be to the 3rd cervical, and the larger plate - through which the solution passes - to the umbilicii center or over the lacteal duct and gall duct area, that there may be the passage of this low electrical vibration carrying these to the body. Over the swelling portions in hands, over the knees, we would use the Epsom Salts packs. These would be used whenever there is an excruciating pain. We would give the high enemas whenever there is not the tendency for the proper eliminations through the alimentary canal. We would keep away from sediments (that the body has taken since last we have given these things, and these have gradually grown more and more, to be sure, to relieve the pain); they contract and work against all of those things that are being applied. If we will follow these, as we find, we would bring much better relief for this body, Frances S. [...] [See 631-2, Par. 1 saying her name had been "Frances" in a previous incarnation] or [631].
9. (Q) What causes the body to be tired and drowsy especially after eating? (A) When the blood is drawn away from the head, this produces the condition as indicated - which is at these periods. And those things that have been applied or as suggested for application should correct these conditions. Do that.
10. (Q) What has caused body's condition to grow worse during the past two months or more? (A) Just read what we have given! An adherence back to those things that are as sedimentaries, which only add to the confusion in a very disturbed circulation. The baths, when these are taken - which would be once or twice or three times a week - it would be well to use in the water the oils of pine, preferably oil of pine needles. To a tub of water (if the body desires to get in same) put two tablespoonsful of Oil of Pine Needles. However, it is much preferable for these to be given as sitz baths and the
631-6 Page 5
rubdowns, then being put INTO same; and in these there would be put two teaspoonsful of the Oil of Pine Needles to two gallons of water. Do these and then, if there is the necessity, in two weeks we would give further instructions.
