1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1259]; this we have had before.
2. As we find, there are a great deal of improvements in the general physical forces of the body from that as we have had here before.
3. While there may be much desired in the way of the better rest, not so easily tired out by exercises or activity, these as we find - and the resistance - will come with the general building up of the body.
4. And the more applications as we find needed in the present are care and precautions as to the diet, with sufficient exercises in the open as much as possible, and the keeping of an equal balance through the circulation and the re-ionizing of the resistances as it were through the use of the Radio-Active Appliance.
5. These as we find should keep for the better resistances, and gradually build up that strength, that vitality, that necessary balance throughout the system.
6. Ready for questions.
7. (Q) Why has my mouth condition not improved? (A) Owing to the acidity of the system. Hence the precautions as indicated that must be kept with the diets, in keeping those foods that are easily assimilated and that do not cause too great a fermentation and that are too hard upon the eliminations. And in keeping the activities for the eliminations, as we find the enemas are preferable to the eliminants that cause a reaction through the system or an exercising of the lymph and mucous membrane activities. These are well to be taken but do not depend upon these; just take them occasionally. Depend rather upon the activities of the assimilating system, and as these are built up we would find all of the disturbances gradually disappearing.

8. (Q) Has the Appliance been applied correctly and is it working properly? (A) This as we find is very good and is beneficial, if there will be the use of it in the way and manner as has been indicated. Be very careful that the anodes or plates are polished before each application. And have it in the solution or so that the vibrations of the Appliance itself have changed before it is applied to the body; or have it in the ice for fifteen to twenty minutes before it is attached to the body.
9. (Q) What should I do about taking the hydrochloric acid internally? I seem to be much better when taking it. (A) If that is the desire of the body, that these be added in this form, then take it! For the mental outlook has as much to do with the results as the material applications! But this acidity and this unbalanced condition is what prevents the effluvia of the blood from producing resistances in the body. And if the balances for the diet are kept, these as we find are much preferable to the synthetic reactions that the body itself SHOULD produce within itself! If these are taken then occasionally, it may be very well. But the body should know that if the system depends upon that to be supplied that it does not have to use, it is just as in any other condition, the body depends upon same and it is as habit forming as any drug.
10. (Q) Would it be wise for me to include in my diet any other body building foods such as red meats or fattening foods? (A) This depends upon what is termed red meats. Juices of meats, as has been given - and there is more strength and body-building in one spoonful of beef juice than a pound of the raw meat or rare meat or cooked! and the system will build more from same if taken in that way and manner. Especially where those conditions in the system have been as they have been. Know that if there is to be taken, to be sure, beef or pork or ham, and it is REQUIRED that there be taken the acids to DIGEST same - and they are not taken, this will be hard upon the system! But if the food values are taken in combinations and in manners that the system will assimilate same, this is much preferable.
11. (Q) Please explain the reaction of foods on my system. (A) It's just been given! Those that require the bodily foods - there are foods that require (as meats) acids for their proper fermentation; while most of the foods as of the vegetable forces, especially of the leafy nature, require more of the slow combination of the lacteals' reaction or the greater quantity of the combination of acid and alkaline. Then if foods are taken in quantities that require
1259-2 Page 3
an alkaline for their digestion, an acid is in the system - this produces improper fermentation. If foods are taken where acid is necessary and it is not being produced by the system, or not taken into the system in synthetic state, then these produce the disturbances, see? See how the combinations of these, then, make for the necessity of watching, experimenting as it were with that which is good today and may be bad tomorrow. For what would be poison for someone, to another may be a cure. This is true in every physical organism. And unless these balances are being cared for properly, they produce disturbances.
12. (Q) Should I continue with all of the same treatments as have been suggested? (A) As has been indicated, this is well - if there are those precautions as respecting the diet and the physical exercise in the open.
13. (Q) Any further advice for the body at this time? (A) This as we find, if it is adhered to, will bring the bettered conditions for the body. Do that.
