1. EC: Yes. As we find, there are disturbing conditions in the mental and the physical forces of the body. These, as we find, are not entirely understood. For this being a complication, there is at times a psychopathic condition as well as a disturbance in a pathological way and manner. And the applications that have been made from time to time at times become very aggravating one to another. Hence the violent likes and dislikes that are shown at times, and the inability for the handling - or for the cooperation to be maintained at all times.
2. We find that there is a pressure, or an injury that has arisen in the pelvic organs themselves; so that there is at times a reaction upon the nervous system such that there is a retraction ofttimes that makes for a diverting - as it were - of the circulation. Hence at such times we have violent mental reactions, and at others we find these revert themselves into conditions where there is carried in the superficial circulation, as it were, the circulatory forces that tend to make for swellings over various portions of the body. Hence the lymph becomes very much disturbed, with accumulations. Hence organs in portions of the body become dilated, and their activity becomes abnormal - in their functionings.
3. First, as we find, there would be required rather that there be not so much of those applications - except when necessary for the sedative activities.
4. And we would set up rather the drainages from the system by the allaying or removing of those pressures in the lumbar and the sacral area. Then we would coordinate same with the circulation through the central circulatory forces from the axis of the lumbar; first to the solar plexus, then to the brachial and then to the hypogastric and pneumogastric. This would be almost the exact rotation, though this would require some period of activity - of course; three to six to
1108-1 Page 2
eight treatments between each rotation.
5. Also each day we would use the Radio-Active Appliance for the quieting, and for producing rest in the body.
6. To be sure, this will make many changes from those applications made in the present; yet, if changes will be made to this way and manner, there will be such a change indicated - after the beginning of same - that there may be then given much that may be the more helpful in bringing about much nearer normalcy for this body, [1108].
7. Do these things in the beginning, as suggested.
8. In the matter of the diet, we would keep to those things that are of the pre-digested nature; with the activities of the fruits and the raw vegetables and of that nature.
9. And we will find we will bring the better conditions for this body.
10. Ready for questions.
11. (Q) When did this condition begin? (A) This has been for some standing; for, as indicated, it is - as we find - from a stricture or a lesion in the organs of the pelvis.
12. (Q) What really caused it to begin? (A) An injury or pressure there.
13. (Q) Can the body be brought back to its normal equilibrium? (A) This will depend upon the manner in which the body may be handled, and the ABILITIES of those handling same to produce that stamina necessary in the physical forces that the mental activities may coordinate the greater or the better.
14. (Q) Is she taking anything now that is not beneficial to the body? (A) As indicated; unless there were some that were not beneficial, we would not have changed!
15. (Q) What effect has water she is now drinking on body? (A) This is very good, but this of itself will not make for a great change. If we will remove those pressures as we find in the lumbar and in the sacral area, then gradually coordinate by setting up drainages, first the solar plexus, then the brachial plexus, then the upper plexus through the hypogastric and pneumogastric and vagus center, we may make for a much greater change; equalizing the circulation and changing the activities through the DESIRES in the body by the quietness that may be brought about. Begin these in these manners, and then we may aid.
16. We are through for the present.
