1. EC: Yes, we have the body, Mrs. [757], this we have had before.
2. Now, as we find, while there are a great many changes in the physical forces of the body, and some of these do not indicate that the causes - or that the conditions - are being eradicated from the system, there ARE conditions of improvement in the basic influences in the conditions- physical of the body, Mrs. [757].
3. While, too, in some respects there has been more recently the following of the suggestions as to applications of the mechanical appliances for the correction of disturbances, there has NOT been wholly the carrying out of conditions for the eradication and elimination of the disturbances in the physical functionings.
4. When the information was given as to that which would wholly correct the disturbances, there was taken into consideration those things that were being applied for the correction of disturbing forces as related to functioning portions of the system, and those applications from the external forces were to aid the system in eradication in those portions as related to the nerve forces, and in presenting or producing proper coordination and relations between the varied eliminating systems of the body.
5. Then, to leave off that as would affect the organs within, and systematically apply those that dealt more with the effects than the causes of disturbances in the body - and these in the first portions of the applications not applied correctly, made for temporary improvements and the recurrent conditions, and even at times an aggravation of the disturbing forces in the system.
6. Let's, then, now review the general disturbances in this body, Mrs. [757] we are speaking of:
7. In the intestinal system, in the digestive system of the intestinal system, as well as in the stomach itself proper,
757-3 Page 2
there has existed - as we have indicated - disturbances of natures that hindered in the proper assimilation of that taken as the resuscitating influences in the carrying on of proper functioning of the body itself. There was produced, or has been produced - there are still evidences of the disturbance wherein the infections in the duodenum, in the stomach, in the intestinal system itself, the acidities of such a nature as to cause what would be termed - on the epidermis or the skin itself - eruptions, or abrasions, or breaking out. These have indicated, and do indicate by the conditions in the mouth, in the throat, in various portions of the body, that the conditions EXIST!
8. There had been in former times applications for the eradication and allaying of these conditions, in the whole of the functioning or assimilating system of the body.
9. Then, merely to apply the rays - that were to eradicate the poisons from the blood supply, by their activity - and leave off those applications that affect the basic influences of the system, or the first causes of these conditions - only brings at TIMES temporary relief, and not an eradication of the disturbances themselves!
10. Then, we would, under the existent circumstances, change now to these conditions - which may be applied with those being used; for we are only returning now to first principles, you see - and we will give the outline as if there had been NOTHING done for the body; or we will begin all over again, as to the applications for the body - and, with all these adhered to, we find that we will bring the proper corrections for this body:
11. The first day we would take a tablespoonful of Milk of Bismuth.
12. The next day we would take a tablespoonful Milk of Magnesia.
13. The next day we would take at least two tablets of Willow Charcoal.
14. The next day we would take two tablespoonsful of Petrolagar, the alkalin - or red label kind.
15. Then the next day we would take the applications of the ultra violet ray, which should not be taken longer than three minutes, you see.
16. We would then the next day take the Infra Red ray, after being heated with the green glass between the Infra Red and the body; and do not place the glass so close to the heat as to cause fracture or breaking, but closer to the body - that there may be the effect of the color as it is changed from the Infra Red, or the activity of Infra Red.
17. (This aside, now, for explanation - and as to why the
757-3 Page 3
change: The Infra Red is that which acts upon the STRUCTURAL portions of the body, and the COVERINGS of the structural portion, see? Then, altered through the effect of the rays passing through plate glass, or heavy glass, that is GREEN in color, acts upon not only the structural or bone portion of the body but upon the muscles and tendons of the body also, in eliminating poisons that have caused - and do cause - those eruptions in the various portions of the body, internally and externally, allowing these poisons to find those manners of being eliminated through the channels of eliminations in the system.)
18. Now, the taking of the properties that have been given as corrective forces for the intestinal, the stomach and the general SYSTEMS of the body, these variations in the characters that are given, will work for the BASIC principles that make for disturbances; while the applications externally will be for the minutia, or the lymph circulation, the nerve circulation, in creating coordination between all of these active forces within the body.
19. These instructions should be repeated, of course, in the order given.
20. But this would be an everyday business - watching the diet of the body! So, we would give this as an outline - though it may be altered occasionally to meet the tastes or the needs of the body:
21. First, beware of too great an amount of sugars for the body. So, when those things are taken as food values - as in the citrous fruit - do not use sugar; rather use salt, or the other activities that make the food palatable.
22. Mornings - citrous fruit juices, or the pulp with citrous fruit, see? with brown toast, whole wheat.
23. Or, if the citrous fruit is not taken there may be used the dry cereal - and do not use sugar on same, although the milk may be used - but preferably use that which is well balanced in the vitamin forces, or the pasteurized milk, or dry milk that is made for such usages. However, do not use citrous fruit juices and cereals at the same meal!
24. At this meal there may be also taken a cereal drink.
25. Noons - preferably a whole GREEN vegetable diet, consisting of such as lettuce, celery, radishes, or any of those that make for the weight - as well as a balance of the diets that produce the CLEANSING effects throughout the system, see? Raw cabbage, or raw spinach, or raw foods - peas that have been cooked, but not wholly cooked, see? Mustard greens - ANY of these. And there may be used with these a French dressing or mayonnaise, to make them more
757-3 Page 4
palatable.
26. Evenings - vegetables WELL-cooked, but be sure that for each vegetable used that grows under the ground there are TWO used that grow ABOVE the ground, either in leafy vegetables or the pod vegetables, see? Meats in moderation may be taken. When taken, preferably mutton, fowl, fish, or the like - see?
27. This must be watched carefully, to be sure - that is, the diet.
28. Then, the enemas would be taken systematically; at least a high enema once each month, oftener if there is experienced the feeling of gas or mucus in the increased amount of eliminations caused by the change in diet and the properties that are to work with the eliminations through the alimentary canal.
29. Following these, as we find, will bring the better conditions for this body.
30. Ready for questions.
31. (Q) Has the green glass used with the Infra Red ray been the proper glass? (A) It has been the proper kind. If heavier it will be more beneficial. As indicated, this may be used CLOSER to the body (that is, the green glass); and we have also given the reason why.
32. (Q) What can be done for the sores in the mouth? (A) A little alum water will be helpful. If these treatments are followed, we find that all these troublesome conditions will disappear. For the specific condition in the mouth, as given, a little alum water may be used - or the touching of same with the diluted Atomidine. We would not leave off the ash before the use of the ultra violet ray; but only take it on those days when the ultra violet is taken - see? So, the outline we would follow now would be as this: The first day the Bismuth, the next day the Magnesia, the next day the Charcoal, the next day the Petrolagar, and then the lights consecutively. Then begin all over again, starting with the medicinal properties. Take about three courses. Then rest four or five days for the proper reaction through the system. Then take another
757-3 Page 5
round or two or three courses. We will find that the changes will be for the better.
33. (Q) The ultra violet seems to cause a sensation of congestion in the chest. Is this beneficial or not? (A) Not beneficial. Hence the reduction in the time, and the change in the way given, see?
34. (Q) Has there been any improvement in the glands? (A) A great deal of improvement, but we are CLOGGING the system with the IMPROPER way of producing coordination between the eliminating systems!
35. (Q) What causes the pains in head and neck, and what can be done to relieve them? (A) This is an increase in the activity of the circulation through the lymph and emunctory forces of the body, by the superficial stimulation through the violet ray - or ultra violet ray, without the opening of the association of eliminations in the activities of the whole system. Not helpful, not over HARMFUL - but let's begin at the basis!
36. Follow those as we have given here, and we will find better conditions.
