Time of Reading 11:05 to 11:25 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. New York City. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes.
2. Now as we find, disturbing conditions in the physical forces of the body are rather of the complex nature; though the resistances have been very good and thus the body has been kept from "breaking down," as it were.
3. But those infectious forces that arise from the thinning of the blood - and those conditions in the throat, as combined WITH the lack of the metabolism through the activity in the thyroids, and the effect this produces upon the lower hepatic circulation - produce rather a NEW disturbance; and one that will require precautions by the body.
4. These produce in the blood stream (that is, the whole, or the combination - or there exists, rather) the inclination for the thinning, or the lack of that plasm in the blood which makes for the ability of the assimilating system to take on as much hydrocarbonate reaction as is necessary.
5. Hence the inclinations for chilly, cold sensations; and the effects upon the disturbance in the glandular force as related to the activity of the kidneys cause the trembly sensation.
6. And the conditions in the throat, the nasal passages, and the COMBINATION of this upon the digestive forces - already weakened in the assimilations, as indicated - cause a NEW source of infection.
7. Hence this will produce some anxiety unless there ARE those precautions for alleviating these disturbances by the use of those activities or principles that will tend to make for the destroying of the bacilli that may become so infectious or destructive to the assimilating system and the digestive organs, and the activity of the metabolism in the body.
8. Hence as we find in the present, first:
9. We would use alternately a spray of Atomidine and Glyco-Thymoline for the throat.
1210-4 Page 2
10. Use the Atomidine spray preferably of an evening before retiring. The proportions would be a teaspoonful of the Atomidine (commercial strength) to an ounce of Distilled Water (not tap water, but distilled water). Use as a nasal spray and as a throat spray. Use preferably in an atomizer of hard rubber, or be very careful that any METAL parts to the one used are thoroughly cleansed after each usage of same - or before it is used again STERILIZE SAME! and do not let the metal parts (is such is used) remain in that portion of the Atomidine Solution not used! But do not use a metal spray for the Atomidine spray solution, if at all practical.
11. The Glyco-Thymoline spray would be used of morning, when first arising. Use it commercial strength - that is, full strength - in another atomizer.
12. Then, increase the eliminations as related to the activity of the alimentary canal, in conjunction with those influences that will also work upon - or with - a stimulation to the activity of the glandular system in the digestive forces of the body.
13. Hence use a laxative the base of which is vegetable in nature; as from Senna or the Pie Plant, or the like. Such bases are preferable in the existent conditions.
14. Do not take as foods any quantity of fats, nor excess starches - as COMBINATIONS that make for starches that cause an excess of gas-forming through the irritated portions of the digestive forces of the body.
15. Use those foods then that are of the nature that are body-building, yet that are not hard of digestion or assimilation - these are the better.
16. Also the use of the high vibrations of electrical forces will be beneficial. However, there would be not too long periods of treatment with these, and never when there is the excess of alcoholic REACTING fluids in the system!
17. Hence refrain from any drinks that carry the alcohol content, and those for the lower hepatic circulation - Such drinks as carbonated waters of ginger, as Ginger Ale, Coca-Cola, will be those to be taken by the body.
18. Do these in a consistent manner and we will find reliefs for the body, and a building back to a much nearer normal condition.
19. Ready for questions.
20. (Q) Is there need for me to continue taking thyroid extract and if so in what dosage? (A) If these preparations as indicated are followed, these will assist the body in diminishing the quantity of thyroid taken. But in the present this had best be taken in the
1210-4 Page 3
proportions as has been indicated for the body; and in a week to two weeks GRADUALLY skip the dose of same - one day; and then after another week or ten days skip the second, see?
21. (Q) What was the cause of the recent slight hemorrhage from bronchial tubes or the wall of the throat? (A) The thinning, or the lack of proper balance in the hormones of the blood itself; allowing same, with this congestion, to come THROUGH the walls of the throat. This was from the throat rather than bronchial tubes.
22. (Q) How much water should I drink daily? (A) Six to eight glasses full, or more if the system requires same. After there has been used the spray and the activities in the diet for ten days to two weeks, we find that the taking of about an ounce of Watermelon Seed Tea in two or three ounces of water - about once a week - will aid in clearing those conditions related to the activities of the lower hepatic circulation - the kidneys; or purify or clear same; and will aid in the assimilating forces from the activities of the pancrean reaction. Prepare same in this manner. Cut or crush about forty to fifty seed, and steep or brew in a pint of water as you would ordinary tea. Then put an ounce of the tea in two or three ounces of water and drink. Or, if kept in a cool place, the tea may be taken once or twice a day until the full quantity (the pint) is taken; and then left off for a month or six weeks before being taken again.
23. (Q) What suggestions in relation to exercise? (A) The exercises should be consistent with the general activities of the system. Keep in the open as much with the exercise as practical.
