Time of Reading 11:20 to 11:35 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. New York City. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body here; this we have had before.
2. Many changes do we find in the general physical forces of the body since last we had same here. In the greater part these show a general improvement. But disturbing conditions arise from the inability of the drainages IN THE SYSTEM to at all times care for the blood supply. Or there is not produced sufficient of the urea in the blood supply to act upon or to become the leukocyte forces, as to COMBAT distresses that have been indicated of old through the system.
3. Thus we find the accumulations at times about the joints or tendons, or in the muscular forces; lymph that has become, as it were, inflamed - and hence becomes interpenetrating to portions of the system where slowed circulation has or does become indicated by the general activities of the body.
4. These arise from many varied causes, but - as we find - the applications of these forces or influences in the system, as we will suggest, would RELIEVE the distresses; making for the abilities within the system for that assimilated through the activity of the glands themselves to meet the needs and the emergencies that arise. These are indicated at times in the throat, in the nervousness, in the knee, in the disturbance through the digestive forces; the lack of proper eliminations or a coordinant condition there, and the stiffness and dizziness at times occurring.
5. First, we would use the electrical forces that have been and are being used at times, through the vibrations set up; but DO NOT use these at such a HIGH vibration, rather a LOW. Not in the manner that there has been the use of same heretofore, but rather the low current than such a high current.
6. Also we would have occasionally, or at least once a week - or twice a week for two weeks, and rest two weeks, and
849-13 Page 2
then have same twice a week for two weeks more, the GENERAL osteopathic manipulations. These would be especially or specifically to those areas where DRAINAGES are set up for the whole of the eliminating system; as in the lumbar and the lower dorsal centers for the activities through the general eliminations in the lower bowel and the kidneys and the bladder. Then those in the upper dorsal and cervical would be more for the eliminations or drainages through the respiratory system, and the activities of the liver, the pancreas, the spleen, and the organs' activity or the secretions of the glands through same.
7. During the rest periods BETWEEN the periods or series of the osteopathic treatments, we would use the Sweat Rubs; that is, we would have the PINE BATHS - or Pine Oil Baths, see? with a general RUBDOWN after same. Especially use the hot and cold waters, as violent upon the body as possible; rubbing down after same with the oils and followed by the alcohol rubs.
8. IN the matter of the diet: Be most careful that there are not shell fish, great quantities of potatoes - Irish potatoes; though the jackets of same may be taken. Not too great a quantity of meats, and when meats are taken let same be BROILED fish, roast lamb, or roast fowl. These, we find, with QUANTITIES of the green vegetables, would supply greater quantities of those elements to create this balance in CONJUNCTION with the indicated manipulative and electrical treatments and the baths.
9. As we find, these would not only eradicate from the system the CAUSES of these disturbances but create for the body resistances that would build the necessary forces for a near NORMAL physical body.
10. Ready for questions.
11. (Q) Is the treatment being received from Dr. Kovacs for the right knee correct, or should it be changed, or added to? (A) As we find, if there are the diathermy treatments as we have indicated for the GENERAL system - with the rubs and the diets and the manipulations - these will eliminate better than the more specific conditions in the knee; unless there is the arising of a different condition. Or, LOCALLY, for the knee, we would use a massage every other day into the knee of equal portions of common salt and PURE apple vinegar; or WET the salt with the vinegar and massage into the knee. This will be better than injections or drawing off. But let's remove the causes, as we have indicated; that may
849-13 Page 3
be done by setting up drainages through the proper manipulations in the system; with the adding of the proper adherence to the diet as to stimulate the eliminations through the respiratory system, the perspiratory system, when the baths and sweats are given. These will make for better conditions. Beware of too much alcoholic stimulants at ANY time; though Red Wine may be taken with BROWN or BLACK bread in the late afternoon (or at cocktail time) - but JUST Red Wine!
12. (Q) Any other advice at this time? (A) These, as we find, for the physical forces, would be the better. In the mental and spiritual much might be given. Hold fast to that thou hast chosen and that thou hast set in thine self; to be a channel for the awakening in the experience of others of the oneness of the Creative Forces through Him that is the WAY.
