1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [844].
2. Now, as we find, there are conditions that disturb the better physical functioning of the body. And these, as we find, are rather subtle in their nature or cause. But with the proper corrections, the proper care and adherence in a consistent manner, they should be eradicated from the system.
3. There is, as we find, a lack of coordination in the RADIAL activity of glands as pertaining to the functioning organs. And the results or effects are sometimes accredited to other conditions in the system.
4. These, then, are conditions as we find them with this body, [844] we are speaking of:
5. In the BLOOD SUPPLY do we find evidences of the character of disturbances in the physical forces of the body. While the blood supply is not a cause, the effects in same indicate the sources and the causes of the disturbing conditions. For we find the metabolism and the katabolism, or the blood pressure and the blood distribution in an even flow, are disturbed in the system. Hence we find periods when there are these characterizations or effects in the body: At times dizziness to the head, a dull aching across the abdominal area but more across the lower lumbar or the lower dorsal and lumbar area; a fullness at times in the stomach, as after eating, or a character of nausea of mornings when there has been the unpleasantness of this fullness in the afternoon or evening; a tendency for a swelling in portions of the limbs or feeling as a fullness and then numbness that comes to the extremities at times, with at others more acute pains in the extremities and to portions of the body. These are affectations, as we shall see - and also we shall see how there are the disturbances from activities in the glands of the system, that are not having their outlets through the natural functionings of the
844-1 Page 2
body. And those changes that have been wrought or brought about in the body, then, make for secretions that must be acted upon for their proper eliminations. Hence, as indicated, we find portions of the body - as in the nervous forces - where the body becomes easily irritated, or the feelings are at times easily hurt when the body has no intentions of allowing same. The body becomes morose or melancholy over those things that ordinarily should make for the tendencies in other directions. These are mental, or the SYMPATHETIC reactions to these disturbances. We find the effect, too, to the organs, as producing a tendency in the eliminations of the system to be exorcised as to making for disturbances in the kidneys or the bladder itself, and the liver, as making for a fullness in the abdomen; slowing up of activity at times through the colon. Thus there is caused the conditions in the digestive system, as of little assimilation or digestive activity of a normalcy. These affect all portions of the body, as may be indicated by the highly RADIAL activity, or some portions of the body becoming too much overcharged with electrical forces as from the body itself, others become then too undercharged and slow the circulation. Hence it makes for or portends towards the scar tissue in the abdominal area, the activities through these pressures, making for lymph pocket accumulations. Not what may be called TRULY the formation of tumors, but the tendency for a plethora formation. And when there is a reduction, or the lymph circulation and the radial activity of the glands of the body draw these into the lymph or the blood supply circulation and these are carried off through channels, the body feels much better.
6. As we find, in meeting the needs of the conditions of this body, it will require quite a bit of persistency on the part of the body; not only as related to the diet but as to the ordinary activities of the body. These would be, then, in this line or direction; and these need only the activity itself, and it may apply the greater portion or all of these for itself:
7. In the first, then, we would have each day, preferably in the evening as the body rests, the activities from the Radio- Active Appliance; that would be attached to the extremities of the body, the opposite sides of the body. That is, when attached to the right wrist, the other anode or plate would be attached to the left ankle, see? This is over those portions of the bursa on the wrist or just above the wrist bone, on the ankle on the inside - over the bursa area and just above the ankle bone, see, on the inside. The next day the attached plates would be reversed, or to the
844-1 Page 3
left wrist and to the right ankle. And these treatments we would have for periods of at least thirty to forty minutes to an hour each day. Run this for periods of four weeks, and then rest or leave off for a period of a week; and then begin over again.
8. We would also have the use of the violet ray with the vaginal anode, so as to reduce those tendencies for drainage or drippage, or of the secretions that arise. This we would preferably use after there has been the douche, which would carry in same a small quantity of the Atomidine - a teaspoonful of Atomidine to a quart and a half (or a quart and and a pint) of tepid water. Preferably use the spiral douche. This we would use at least twice each week. This, we will find, will reduce irritation. The violet ray would be used for a minute to a minute and a half, about twice each week. Do this for a period of three to four weeks, then rest or leave off for a period of a month; then repeat it again.
9. And be mindful of the diet. This would be as an outline: No hog meat at any time, save that occasionally of a little breakfast bacon that is very crisp. But this would be rather the outline, though it may be altered at times:
10. Mornings: Citrus fruit juices or cereals, but do not use cereals AND citrus fruit juices or citrus fruits at the same meal. At least twice each week have the whole wheat or cracked wheat as a morning cereal. Coddled egg and ONLY the yolk of same, not the white - for this carries too much of those properties that are hard for digestion, or too much albumin that is producing an irritation in the adrenal gland secretion and the glands in the pelvis area. These may be altered at times for the morning meal to stewed fruits or rice, provided it is of the browned rice or the uncut rice or unpolished rice. Or there may be used the raw fruits as a portion. Dry toast or buttered toast, but preferably or altogether brown bread or whole wheat bread.
11. Noons - preferably (if this is taken as the lunch) ONLY raw vegetables; such as lettuce, tomatoes, celery, peppers, beet tops, beets, spinach, onions, radish, carrots - any of these, that may be grated well. But one meal each day, at least, should be of ONLY RAW vegetables; and this doesn't mean raw apples, either!
12. Evenings - (if this is the dinner) the well cooked vegetables, but not vegetables cooked in or with grease; those cooked in their own juices, as in a steamer or in Patapar paper. These may be seasoned well with butter, but not seasoned with bacon or with cooking meats of any kind. The meats when taken should be of fish, fowl or lamb; only
844-1 Page 4
these, and none of these should EVER be fried, but only those roasted, broiled, or cooked in this manner. Potatoes should not be taken more than once or twice each week; preferably very little of the pulp, but more of the skin and the like. A well-balanced vegetable meal, with three of the leafy to two of the pod, to ONE that grows under the ground - that is, in the cooked vegetables.
13. Following these suggestions, keeping these in this line, we will find the body will rid itself and REVIVIFY the body to a great extent, ridding itself of these tendencies of the stiffening of the joints, of the acute pains through the abdominal area, and bring the body near to normal conditions.
14. Ready for questions.
15. (Q) What causes the neuritis in neck, shoulders and arms? (A) As indicated. The poisons in the system that are not eliminated into normal or nominal channels. The reinfecious forces that arise from secretions of glands that do not make for proper radial assimilation through eliminating channels. Do these as indicated, and we will rid the body of these conditions.
16. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file (See letter [which was enclosed] to The Reilly Service with specifications for type appliance needed. Also booklet was enclosed explaining Atomidine.)
