Time of Reading 5:25 to 5:40 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. Washington, D.C. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [688], present in this room.
2. As we find, the disturbing factors in this body, and those that prevent a normal functioning, have to do with the equilibriums between the eliminations and the replenishing system. This, through the activities in the nervous system, through the incoordination in these activities, makes for a pressure in the blood supply that has its rise from an engorgement in the transverse colon; thus producing - for the activities in the system - the pressures causing the heart's action, and pressures in the colon area that make for the disturbances for the body.
3. Also we find in the cervical and the upper dorsal centers there is an impairment to the circulation through the head and the facial portions of the system, producing conditions that have prevented the eliminations being properly distributed through the system; making for that condition in the sensory system as to make for the impairments that have prevented the normal reflexes bringing the proper circulation to eyes, to head, to face, in a normal manner.
4. Then, in meeting the needs of the conditions for this body, and in bringing about the conditions in which the body will find that its abilities in the mental and spiritual activity of same may have the greater opportunity for the expression of self:
5. We would first begin with the colonic irrigations. The first would be made for at least once a week for two weeks, then once a month until four others have been taken.
6. Also we would add the vibrations to the body that may be had through the PLAIN Radio-Active Appliance that will equalize the circulation in the extremities and reduce this pressure in the blood supply.
7. We will find also that the applications to the head and

neck and upper dorsal, of manipulative forces as through adjustments that would make for the correcting of the circulation to the head, would produce the better conditions for the body.
8. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) How often should the manipulations be given? (A) At least twice each week until sixteen to twenty-eight had been taken. The appliance for the equalizing, bringing the pulsation and the pressure to the normal, through the low electrical vibration in the Radio-Active Appliance to create a better metabolism and katabolism in the system, would be each evening as the body rests - preferably in the period when the body is resting, rather than just before retiring. As the body rests, then, from thirty to sixty minutes. While it will make for an easing in the circulation, it will produce a much more normal condition in the system. There is the necessity of the irrigations for the eliminations, so that the activities throughout the organs of the system may function the better.
10. (Q) How should the anodes of the Appliance be applied? (A) To the opposite portions of the body. The left wrist and right ankle. The right wrist and left ankle.
11. (Q) Is there any special diet you would recommend for the body? (A) Those foods that keep more of an alkalin condition are the better.
12. (Q) Is there any diabetic trouble? (A) This is more from the colon conditions than from the effect of a pancrean affection. While the pressures are an indication, as we find, these may be removed through the measures as indicated - and the condition will disappear. Beware, of course, of too much starch and sugars; but more of an alkalin diet.
13. (Q) Are there any other suggestions for the better physical conditions of this body? (A) If the body will be persistent, consistent in the applications that have been given, we will find the disorders and disturbances clearing from the body. DO that; consistently, persistently. MAKE for the mental and spiritual abilities the greater, the better channel for the application of the abilities in every direction.
14. We are through for the present.
