1. EC: Yes, we have the body here and those conditions about same - [1313].
2. Now as we find, there are disturbing conditions that have been of long standing. Some of these as we find are subtle in their nature; that is, congestions of characters that have affected the functioning of the organs of the system, devitalizing them in such measures that the applications of some things for the body produce only a reaction of disturbance without removing the causes of same.
3. However, as we find in the present, those revitalizing and reionizing applications have been helpful. Yet as we find now there is needed to be rather a deeper "working up," as it were; and as will be seen from that as may be given for the more correct or more beneficial helps for the body in the present.
4. These then are conditions as we find them with this body, [1313] we are speaking of:
5. THE BLOOD SUPPLIES indicate a disturbance in the eliminations of the body. Thus the hepatic circulation, the liver, even the heart's activity, all become affected by this excess of poisons that should be eliminated. Also the tendons and muscular forces of the system are affected. Thus we have a condition that is produced in the body by that as we find in times back affected first the organs, or the gall duct area itself, by an activity of a superacidity in the system that tended to make for the filling up of the ducts themselves; thus preventing the full activity of the glandular forces as related to same. Also those activities as effected from same came to form a superabundance of the uric acid in the system. Thus the extremities, whether the lower limbs or those from the upper portion of the body, became affected by same.
6. The pressures upon the NERVE SYSTEM produce a taking up of the vital forces and, as has been indicated, devitalize
1313-1 Page 2
as it were the energies then of the bodily functions themselves.
7. IN THE ORGANS, as has been indicated, those affected in the greater portion are the upper hepatic circulation and conditions to other portions of the lower hepatic circulation.
8. These are the disturbing factors as we find them with this body.
9. As we would find in the first:
10. First we would begin in a changed environ where there may be greater activity from the ultra-violet effect of either the sun's rays or - if the body is to remain in the particular surroundings in the present - use then the ultra-violet ray light; this about every two to three days. If the treatment is to be taken in the sunshine in a changed climate, each day - but not beginning in too much of the sunshine; rather early or morning and late in the evenings, or in only part sunshine but more in the air itself. This as a portion of the treatment.
11. We would begin first by taking into the system these properties - after each meal. But as the meals or the diets are to be a principal reaction for the body, these we would give then first:
12. These DO NOT take: White bread. Any meats, save fish, lamb or fowl. Never any fried foods. Do not eat potatoes, spaghetti or the like at the same meal with any bread. These are the things to beware of.
13. Do not take citrus fruit juices and cereals at the same meal. With the coffee or tea do not take milk or cream in same, though sugar may be taken.
14. After the morning meal take about a quarter teaspoonful of Alcaroid; this taken about half an hour after the meal is taken.
15. After the evening meal take about the same quantity. Take this for about two to three days, in these ways and manners, twice a day; quarter teaspoonful in a full glass of water, and if possible drink another glass of water following same.
16. After three days of taking this, we would take in the afternoon - after the noon meal - two tablets of Zilatone. After the evening meal on the same day take two more tablets of the Zilatone. This about half an hour after the meal, see?
17. On the next morning after the Zilatone is taken, take two tablespoonsful of Fleet's Phospho-Soda in a whole glass of water as hot as the body can drink. Take this before breakfast, you see. Lie upon the right side, with a prop or
1313-1 Page 3
pillow under the gall duct and liver area. Rest in the shade during this whole day, see; not in the open but in the shade.
18. During this whole period principally ONLY semi-liquid diet; which would be beef broth or vegetable broth or soup or the blanc mange or the arrowroot or the like, or buttermilk with corn bread, and the like. These would be rather the diet during those days this course is being taken.
19. Then take the sunshine baths or the ultra-violet ray baths as indicated.
20. Massage and keeping up of the reionizers will be the more helpful.
21. Do this.
22. Ready for questions.
23. (Q) Are the appliances in my possession conducive to my well-being? (A) As has been indicated these are conducive to health, but will be much more effective and beneficial to the body AFTER the use of the properties as indicated and in the manner as outlined here.
24. (Q) Would a trip to Florida in a few weeks be advisable? (A) The sooner the better.
25. (Q) What locality would prove the best for me? (A) As we find the west coast is preferable to the east coast.
26. (Q) Did the two doctors who treated me for weeks last summer get on the right track and were any of the medicines prescribed beneficial? (A) On the right track, and some of the conditions were beneficial; but there was not the compliance of the body with all of those suggestions as were given, especially as related to the activity and the diet. All of these are to be worked together as one. Do not follow the suggestions as outlined here unless all are to be cooperative. Leave off all of the treatments during the period that the cleansing of the system is taking place. Do not be overactive; that is, do not attempt to work or walk or travel during the time these are being taken, but rest during the period. And being mindful of the diet as has been indicated, we will find that the applications will bring greater relief, greater strength, greater vitality to this body.
27. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file
