1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions he submits, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [826]; this we have had before.
3. Now as we find, the general physical conditions, and the reactions through the system, are very good.
4. We find that there needs be only those reactions and conditions as related to bodily functioning, and those mental and physical reactions to same, kept in that normal balance which exists, for the body to be kept near normal and physically fit.
5. Then, we would keep those things that would be indicated as the means and the manners for keeping this near normal collaboration, and coordination of the activities of the organs, and the mental forces of the body reacting one to another.
6. Ready for questions.
7. (Q) In the care of my health, I sleep 8 3/4 hours per night, take an average of not less then 30 minutes strenuous exercise per day like tennis or running or walk not less than 8 miles per day, and in eating each day, I take a quart of milk, a teaspoonful of cod liver oil, a half teaspoonful of iodized salt, about 24 ounces of orange juice, and 8 ounces of dark green leafy vegetables like spinach or kale, the remainder of my diet consisting of animal products, cereals, fruits, and vegetables as I desire them. My health improves from year to year. What is lacking in my diet or the care of my health to enable me to cure my catarrh and poor circulation and any other ailments, and to enable me to improve rapidly week by week? (A) As we find, and as indicated, the conditions in the physical forces at the present are conducive to BETTERING the conditions throughout the body. And these, then, would

only be needed to be kept in this normal balance. However, there should be the consideration of these facts: that the body, physically and mentally, responds to suggestive influences in its environs from day to day; and that where there is a tendency towards any weakness, or any disturbance that may have been or may be of a prenatal nature, or predetermined by normal conditions or activities, these environmental forces reflect upon such a weakened condition - by the reaction to the environment from day to day. There has been prepared a machine of electrical nature that indicates the response from the body as to conditions that do not show a nominal or normal collaboration in circulatory forces, as produced by the energies of the body, or through the nerve forces for impulses to circulation. This indicates where there are weaknesses in the system in this relationship. Then, as these facts are known to the body, as related to the energies supplied by varied characters of foods as related to the calorie content as well as energy content, in the form of vitamin for the efficient activity upon the system - these can or may be supplied in such measures to induce that reaction as to form that necessary within the bodily system for bringing a normal reaction - as would be indicated by that same character of indicator. In the body at present, to produce a better condition we need more of Vitamin B-1, for the effect upon the circulatory system as related to the congestions which occur in impulses by the lack of the spleen's reaction to this coordinating force. Do this, then, through these testing manners. This machine would indicate to the body as to how various influences adhered to daily would supply those influences necessary to keep the balance. For, as has so oft been indicated, those forces are necessary not only for the resuscitation within the body of disturbed or dis-eased portions, but for the supplying of energies to keep the normal balance.
8. (Q) Where do I find Vitamin B-1 - in what foods, and what quantity should I take? (A) It is found most in Wheat Oil, and in Oats; not rolled oats but steel cut oats, which - if cooked a long time - are the more easily assimilated.
826-12 Page 3
If the Wheat Oil is taken, one to two drops at a dosage is sufficient. Best that the tests be made with the electrical forces upon the body, as these are applied to the assimilating forces of the system.
9. (Q) Has Dr. Frischkorn [Carl S. Frischkorn, N.D.] of Norfolk this type of testing machine? (A) We don't have Dr. Frischkorn! These machines, though, are a development of the Naturopath profession. The tests may be taken daily, and they will indicate what portion of the system is lacking - not that these tests, however, are always understood by even the one who manipulates the machine! In the system there are ever those reactions that indicate that such effects are being produced; as: It will be indicated upon such a machine that in this body here, portions of the face are minus in their ability for the perfect circulation. But what causes, what stops the circulation? Now: In this body it will be found that it is indicated from the area over the spleen itself; this being not only the SOURCE, but the character or necessary force to be added or taken from the body to supply energies sufficient to produce the correct reaction. Do that.
10. (Q) Do you mean one to two drops of Wheat Oil each day? (A) One or two drops daily. These properties are put up in different forms by various dispensaries. As we find, the Wheat Germ Oil prepared by The Lawrence Laboratories would be excellent; or that prepared by Sharp and Dohme, though this combination does not allow the variation as easily as that prepared in volume, for here there is prepared SO MUCH in the capsule or globule, you see - while that prepared by The Lawrence Laboratories is in volume and may be taken a drop or drop and a half at the time. Then, we would preferably use that prepared by Lawrence Laboratories, Chicago, Ill. [4/28/65 GD's note: Lawrence Laboratories manufactured Adiron (first known as Codiron), which products were later taken off the market and I think the firm went out of business.]
