1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [843].
2. Now as we find, there is a great deal to be desired. When there are not the precautions, nor those applications, or when there is undue activity owing to anxieties mentally and physically produced about the body, then we find that recurrent conditions cause irritations that become very detrimental to the better physical forces of the body.
3. As related to those disturbances in the stone, that is attempting to be eliminated through the channels of the ureter and the urethra:
4. We find this is not so large as first we saw same, yet too large - of course - to pass, or to pass either to the bladder or through the penis or urethra itself.
5. But with the use of the probes these areas have been irritated, as before.
6. Now as we find in the present:
7. We would keep quiet, off of the feet as much as possible; and use the Turpentine Stupes - as has been indicated.
8. Or, there may be alternated with same, to relax the body more, the Mullein Stupes. Crush the leaves and apply between gauze, you see, over the area. We will find healing from these, as well as the inclination for the dissolving or breaking up of the stone by the absorption.
9. Also we find that a tea made from the Mullein flower would be well. The proportions would be about a level teaspoonful to a pint of water, and let this steep as tea. Taking about an ounce of this twice a day will aid in keeping down this tendency for dizziness, and aid in the activity of the kidneys to expel - and the channels through the system for expelling stone.
10. From the kidney area down to across the sacral, we would rub the back with an equal combination of Olive Oil, Tincture of Myrrh and Compound Tincture of Benzoin. Heat the Olive Oil to add the Myrrh and Benzoin. This would not be put on as a pad, or soaking cloths (as the Turpentine
843-6 Page 2
would, or as the Mullein Stupes), but would be massaged into these areas; to keep the body from tiring so, as well as to thoroughly relax the body.
11. Do these.
12. As for the diet, keep those things that are easily assimilated and that do not work a hardship upon the kidneys or their activity; and all of those that will aid in eliminations - these would be the character of the diet in the present.
13. Ready for questions.
14. (Q) Please give present location of stone in my right ureter? (A) As indicated, it is nearer to the entrance - but has not moved a great deal. Though the probing caused inflammation, this is quieting down. And with the applications suggested it should be still bettered. If the temperature arises, operative forces to remove same - other than probing - may become necessary, see?
15. (Q) Please give cause of pains in region of stomach, liver, gall bladder and intestinal tract; and treatment. (A) As indicated, these arise as a regular reflex - or from too much ACTIVITY of the body. The body, as indicated, should keep more quiet, see? until these act better.
16. (Q) What would help the dizzy blank feeling in my head? (A) As indicated, the rubs - as well as the tea itself.
17. (Q) What treatment for sweats and weakness? (A) The rubs and those things indicated. The sweats arise from ANXIETY more than anything else, see?
18. (Q) What can be done to make me rest and sleep better at night? (A) As we find, if it is necessary a hypnotic will be very well; though the Radio-Active Appliance - as we find - would work well in these conditions.
19. (Q) Is there any drug, food, water or anything that would help dissolve the stone so it will pass? (A) Those applications internally and externally, as we find, as indicated, will work better with these in the present. Do that; watching, of course, for temperature and irritation. Remember, it's anxiety that works up a sweat, as it were! But do as indicated and we will find the better influences, as WE find, for this body.
20. We are through for the present.
