1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with further suggestions for corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1472]; this we have had before.
3. Ready for questions.
4. (Q) As far as I know I followed all instructions given me through this source in all former Rdgs. and would therefore be grateful to be told why I received no help through the information, that I may now correct the cause of former failures in order to make this Rdg. and the advice it offers more effective. (A) Because they didn't do what was indicated to be done! It was not always the fault of the body, [1472]. Mostly it was because of the manner in which administrations were made by others. These as we find are the faults, if faults they be. It is not meant that information given through this channel should be interpreted as being infallible, but these are the conditions existent as viewed from the condition of the individual entity. The interpreting of the information in the minds of others, as well as the manner in which the individual entity is influenced by others - by their material or physical knowledge, does not imply that the information given is incorrect. But it does imply that if these are met under certain other administrations, and done in the same manner and attitude that the information may be given, there may be produced a oneness - and response in its own kind. Here, for this body, as we find - and as we have indicated, - there are disturbances in the lymph circulation, especially in the soft tissue of face and head. The antrum, the frontal and the inner area has shown infection, from the congestion and a general catarrhal condition. These arise
1472-14 Page 2
from many sources, but from long standing have begun to be of a constitutional nature. This does not imply, then, that these are incurable; but, as is the influence in ALL healing, whether the administration be purely suggestive, of a vibratory nature, from the laying on of hands, or by the spoken word, the administration of medicinal properties or even the use of means to remove diseased tissue, we find that the same source of individuality in the cause must be attained. That is, that which has been dissenting in its nature through the physical forces of the body must be so attuned to spiritual forces in itself as to become revitalized. This then, as we have indicated, does not mean that NO condition cannot be improved, or that no condition cannot be healed. As to what is that necessary influence to bring about curative or healing or life giving forces for that individuality and personality of the individual with same, as related to the spiritual forces, may be answered only within the individual itself. For, no source passes judgment. For, the spirituality, the individuality of the God-force in each entity's combined forces, must be its judge. For this body, then: We find that these healing influences may come from two sources - yea, three sources. Not that these are all the conditions existent at this time. For, to be sure, the inflammation or the infection that drops through the capillary forces, as well as the circulation from the antrum, the soft tissue, to the tissue in the digestive forces, also produces upsets to the digestive forces of the body. But IF those influences are removed, then each portion of the body, each source, has that within itself which may reproduce its own needs. While the soft tissue of the nasal passage, as would have to do with the activity of the nerves that produce the response to the olfactory system or the sense of smell, or odors, does not produce the lining of the stomach, we find that ANY infection of one may produce a condition that is contradictory in comparison to some other portion of the body. For, as man experiences in his relationships to his own self and those influences of attraction, heredity and environmental forces, the weeds seem oft to grow much better
1472-14 Page 3
than flowers. Here, then, as indicated, there are two sources - yea, three manners - wherein this condition may be particularly aided, and in the aiding of same may bring about much better GENERAL conditions of the body. The first method would be to change the environment. This is not practical. Then either of the other two manners is practical and may aid in bringing helpful forces, yea, even curative forces, if there is the consistent application in the manner indicated. Let those that make application use a diffusion of oils that may be prepared for such, from the rectified fish oil - ichthyol - preferably the monoichthyolated, or treated through ammonia and prepared for same. Or there may be used the hot water treatment with the injection into the nostril of the Elliott Machine, or the preparation of such for the treating of such conditions. This kept for a period of some three to four weeks, given every other day, should bring about such conditions as to dissipate all the inflammation from these areas. These as we find are the manners, as combined with the increasing of the amounts of the elements in the system as related to the metabolism balance, or the chemical balance as would change or alternate the chemical forces. The excess amounts of the Vitamin A would hasten the curative process. Either of these methods would also require such hydrotherapy treatments as to keep down the poisons that may be disseminated through the system by such measures.
5. (Q) Do you advise that I take the hundred thousand unit capsules of Vitamin A, put up by the Bio Products Corp. of Astoria, Oregon, as recommended by Dr. Egon V. Ullman, as a cure for sinus infection, in his book on proper diet for sinus troubles? (A) As just indicated. These may be taken, but we would NOT take just these alone! Use with same either the spray as indicated, or the hot water Elliott Machine Application. The addition of this combination of elements for the system would be more active if ALL of these are taken together.
6. (Q) Would I have to take this large dosage of Vitamin A for a period of two years as stated by Dr. Straumfjord? (A) As just indicated, it would not have to be taken so long to see results - IF the other applications are given;
1472-14 Page 4
not one, but either the Elliott Machine or the monolated ichthyol spray with same, see? Either of these should be used with the Vitamins, with the thorough hydrotherapy treatment at least once a week or once in ten days, or three times a month, with a thorough massage. Then, with these done, we would only take half the quantity, not in the larger dose but half the dose; and half the time will do 100% more than taken alone for two years - for this body.
7. (Q) Can you suggest a doctor who would be more cooperative and progressive, and consequently better for me to have, than my present physician, Dr. Irene Gates? (A) This had better be chosen by the body itself.
8. (Q) Would it be advisable to have an examination by the gynecologist she suggests? (A) If that is desired, do so.
9. (Q) What is the cause of the pain in my breast from which I have suffered at various periods recently? Is it evidence of any danger of cancer? (A) As just indicated, when there is any form of disturbance or infection in those areas of the system where lymph glands form nobules, these may gather in any of the glands of the body. Now, those applications suggested may attune the forces that are infected in the system to such a state as to eradicate the causes, so that the body-energies may build constructively rather than still attempting to defend or ward off the improper conditions. If left alone, these may cause such congestion in the mammary glands as to produce first a center around which accumulations may gather, and thus cause those tendencies where a continued breaking down of resistances, and the inability to eradicate same, might bring destructive forces. As yet this is not other than an inclination, from the sources indicated.
10. (Q) Was the purchase of my house at Virginia Beach a wise move on my part, and will the climate and other conditions there be beneficial to my health when I am able to live in it? (A) Much of this would depend upon the pros and cons, or as to the purposes, aims and desires. As we find, when considered for the health, the abilities that may be a part of the entity's influence when it resides there, WELL. If it is considered purely from the material, very good. If from the ability of the entity to use same for helpfulness to others, it's wonderful.
11. (Q) Would it be beneficial to me to spend my vacation this year at the Eastern Camp Farthest Out in August? [Glenn Clark's] (A) If that is what is desired, and the physical conditions
1472-14 Page 5
permit, and the body is able to carry on with the indicated treatments to eliminate the disturbing forces, well. If not, don't stay away from them too long.
12. (Q) Where would it be advisable to spend it to receive the most benefit? (A) That should be the choice of the body.
13. (Q) Please state the cause of the constant ache and pain throughout the pelvic region, back, and left kidney; advise as to proper treatment, and tell me if there is any hope for the full recovery of my health. (A) This is partly a result of the general conditions in the system attempting to eliminate the poisons created by the infection and infected parts through the system. For, this is carried to various portions of the body. Hence, as indicated, there should be the choice as to which course may be taken by the entity. Either of these, in the whole, will eliminate the disturbance - if consistently, persistently adhered to - in the way that has been indicated.
14. (Q) What is the cause of so much indigestion and nausea with me, and would any special diet help? (A) This has been indicated. We would not do other than add a little Milk of Bismuth with Pepsin in it; this not taken after every meal, but when there is the fullness felt afterward - a teaspoonful of Milk of Bismuth and six drops of Elixir of Lactated Pepsin stirred in a glass of water will alleviate it. But this will require that there be kept good eliminations. Let at least a portion of one meal each day consist of raw fruits or vegetables. Plenty of whole grain cereal, or whole grain bread. Plenty of vegetables of all characters, and milk.
15. (Q) Please give me any further instructions necessary to the establishment of better health and greater service to the world at this time. (A) Heal the body, that ye may heal others.
