1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1121].
2. As we find, there is a complication of disturbances. These arise from more than one cause. And one becomes a contributory cause to the other; thus producing other disturbances through this combination of causes.
3. There have been pressures in the system, and after effects of disturbances when there became an involvement of tissue through the lack of proper circulation through portions where adherence in soft tissue produced a lesion and scar tissue.
4. Then, with the effect of changes in the body through the lack of eliminations, or the changing of same - or during those periods of menopause, there became then - through this gradual change - an excess of calciums, and the effect of the potash that had not been absorbed by the body.
5. Hence we have in the extremities, in the pressures in the body, in the various portions of the system, this combination of effects.
6. And while there may be aid brought for the body, as we find, it will require a consistent effort and persistency upon the part of those making such applications. Also there will be the necessity for changes to be made in the applications from time to time. For these, as we find, must be met as not only the chemical changes are wrought in the blood stream itself, but as there are the variations of the affectations through the disturbances where hindrances have produced same in the body.
7. These, then, are the conditions that are to be met.
8. For the BLOOD SUPPLY shows these effects; as do also the conditions through the NERVOUS FORCES, and the activities in the FUNCTIONING of the SYSTEM itself.
9. Then, in the beginning, we find:
10. It would be well first to seek the Mud from streams nigh to the body. But that from the clay, rather than the sands.
1121-1 Page 2
11. This, as we find, (the Mud or Clay) would be applied to the body along the area from the lumbars to the area between the shoulders, along the spine; or from the sacral to the cervicals. This we would apply and use for periods of two or three hours at the time, until this has AFFECTED the system - as it were - by the DRAWING that is effected by mud in this PARTICULAR portion of the country. As we find, this will be found out from Dayton, north, and where there have been playgrounds - and swimming pools. This mud or dirt here, at the cliff, may be taken, dried, ground, purified by standing in water and taking the dross off; and then made into the form of an antiphlogistian poultice (though this, of course, is not of the same nature; but is of the same character or CONSISTENCY).
12. Such packs we would apply at least twice a day for three or four or five days. Keep quantities of this Mud on hand.
13. Then leave off the packs and begin with a massage, using this combination of oils:
14. To 6 ounces of Russian White Oil as the base, add - IN THE ORDER NAMED, and these proportions: Olive Oil........................1 ounce, Cedar Oil (not Nut Cedar, but Cedar Wood Oil)...........1 ounce, Witchhazel.......................1 ounce, Sassafras Oil...................20 minims. These, to be sure, will separate; but shake together before or as they are to be used. Then for a period of ten days, use this combination as a massage - only in the evening. This should extend (the massage) from the base of the brain to the end of the spine, and also over the lower limbs particularly to the feet, and to those areas along the sciatic centers.
15. During the whole period we would have the diet to be rather of nuts, vegetables, fruits, than meats or breads. But use these well cooked, or well prepared; as well as having one meal each day of only raw fruits or raw vegetables.
16. Coffee, tea or milk may be taken in moderation. Do not use creams or milk either in the tea OR coffee; but these are to be used (coffee and tea) merely as stimulants.
17. Again begin, after the ten days or evenings of the oil massage, with the use of the Mud Packs along the spine. Then we would begin to use these also across the diaphragm area, that the digestive forces may be affected.
18. After they have been used again then for ten days, twice
1121-1 Page 3
each day, then we would give further instructions for this body.
19. Do these for these periods indicated.
20. Ready for questions.
21. (Q) How thick should the Mud Packs be? (A) About a quarter of an inch thick. They may be covered with a cloth on top, you see (though the Packs are to be direct to the body, on the skin), to prevent too much destruction to the bed or the places where the body lies.
22. (Q) Is there any particular part of the playground where the Mud should be secured? (A) As indicated, there where there is the cliff - and where the spring runs, or just under the bridge - Overlook.
