1. EC: Yes, we have the body here; this we have had before.
2. Now, as we find, there are many changes in the physical forces of this body since last we had it. While many of the primary causes are still existent in the general nervous reactions in the body, and these find various forms of manifestations in the activities of the system, as we find, the assimilations may be altered somewhat for the system and - while it would require some time, and the applications would be made for the causes rather than the effects - we would bring much better physical conditions for the body.
3. It would require that there be especially for periods of some three to six weeks quite a rigid diet, that - while making quite a change in the general conditions - would make much more preferable reactions for the body.
4. First, as we find, there are those strains upon the nervous system which not only affect the circulation between the liver and the heart and lungs themselves, as to make for a dilation in the arterial circulation that must eventually make a valvular condition in the heart [Died of heart attack 15 years later.], but there are the gastric reactions that make for such regurgitations as to fill the stomach itself so as to cause the GLANDS of assimilation to become distorted as to their activity in the body. Thus the adrenals are affected, and the activity of the thyroid and the lower or baser principles in the metabolism of the system.
5. Then, we would first begin with this as a diet, and be very strict with same:
6. Mornings - preferably citrus fruit juices; that may include pineapple, grapefruit, oranges, lemons, grapes, pears and such like. This should be the main portion of the morning diet; with only whole wheat bread dried - or whole wheat toast that may be buttered, and coffee or a cereal drink. But no greases of any kind, especially at the morning

meal; although dry toast with a little butter on it at this meal will not be too much - if it is cooked into it.
7. Then there should be one meal each day when only raw vegetables are taken; which may include lettuce, celery, radish, spinach, tomatoes, onions, or the like - that may be used with a seasoning or dressing.
8. The other meal should consist of vegetables well-cooked, and only fowl, fish or lamb as the meats.
9. Breaking over from this diet, as we find, will be effective in causing irritation.
10. We would begin with Atomidine taken internally; one minim before the morning meal and one minim upon retiring in the evening - in half a glass of water. Increase the dosage one minim each day for five days; that would mean there would then be taken five minims morning and evening, see? Then leave off five days. Then begin with the one minim again. Keep this up until at least five or six rounds have been taken, you see.
11. As we find, the pressures from the lower axis of the body - that come from the back - may be relieved by pressures made in the coccyx area. This may be done even by self, provided it is done with the body in the PROPER position - which would be as the body stands erect. Make the pressures with the fore-finger and thumb on either portion of the end of the coccyx area, as it joins with the lower portion of the edge of the sciatic center there, see? These will be the more helpful. We would make these pressures each evening and morning, for one minute before retiring and before moving about in the morning - save standing erect on the feet.
12. For the irritations that are indicated on portions of the body, as on face, ears, hands, feet, use a compound made from Iodex and Animated Ash - one ounce of Iodex to which there would be added five grains of the Animated Ash, but this should be from the carbon and not from the reed. Mix thoroughly together and massage on the hands, face or feet, each evening when ready for retiring; and this will thoroughly absorb before the morning.
13. Use the electrical vibrations from the violet ray; NOT the bulb, but the plain connection through which only the electrical charge goes into the body - each day. First the anode should be held in the right hand. The next day it would be on the left foot, laying it on something that is a non-conductor - as glass - and place foot ON same, so that the vibration passes through the sole of the foot. The next day take it in the left hand, you see. Then the next day on the right foot. Keep on around the body in the same way.

Do this for two minutes each day.
14. Ready for questions.
15. (Q) What should be used for eliminations? (A) Use the diet, rather than other things. It may be necessary to use enemas, but these should be colonics rather than just a small enema - though no enema should ever extend above the third muscles in the colon. But if the diet will be kept consistently, the eliminations will correct themselves. If the liver needs to be stirred, take two or three doses of the Al-Caroid after the meals - and then take for a day after each meal two of the Caroid and Bile Salts tables - after each meal two, which means six in a day - it'll move!
