Time of Reading 3:35 to 4:00 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Virginia. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1523].
2. Now as we find, conditions in many ways are very good.
3. To be sure there are inclinations and weaknesses, as well as the strength in many directions.
4. Conditions as we have had them before have cleared, yet as we find there are precautions in these directions that should be taken.
5. These then are conditions as we find them in the present with this body, [1523] we are speaking of, present in this room; first:
6. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find very good within itself in the present. Owing to disturbances and pressures, there are the inclinations for there to be a variation in the cellular forces - or the red and white blood. While these are not abnormalcies, they are tendencies which arise from effects of conditions as related to the position and conditions through the pelvic organs, as well as the effect still of the subjugation of the nerve pressures through those effects of etherization or ether.
7. Those activities also cause some inclinations that will appear; as of the tendency for the body to gain weight easily. Also, as indicated at times, there are the inclinations for the sensory system to become supersensitive; or periods when these will occur, almost in their order: the inclinations for the auditory forces or hearing to become affected, or for there to be the tendency towards a general effect through the Eustachian tube.
8. At times there are the tendencies for the eyes to become bleary; that is, tiring easily.
9. Hence precautions in all of these must be taken.
10. The taste may become affected or may not. Things will taste DIFFERENT.
11. All of these are merely INCLINATIONS.
12. Hence the specific activities as related to exercises as
1523-3 Page 2
have been indicated are well to be kept; especially the setting up exercises, the head and neck exercise, the circular motion of the lower limbs and of the torso and especially of the pelvic areas. These should be kept rather persistently and consistently; and it will be found that these will make for keeping the body in much better normal physical condition.
13. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, as indicated from varied pressures - as from subjugations, and subluxations in the cerebrospinal system - the OCCASIONAL thorough GENERAL osteopathic manipulations would be very well for the body. But following such there must be precautions unless there is the desire for pregnancy, for these will tend to make for the better activity through the glandular system as related to reproduction and the activities of the system in these directions.
14. IN THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, as we find, from a general condition these respond very well.
15. These are suppressed at times through nerve reactions, as we have indicated, but in the main the body is very well in most directions.
16. Ready for questions.
17. (Q) Is normal pregnancy possible? (A) As indicated, if there are the corrections osteopathically and the glandular forces are set in motion, it is possible.
18. (Q) How often would you suggest these general manipulations be given? (A) Once in three weeks, or twice in a month.
19. (Q) Is there danger of another false conception? (A) There's always danger when because of the pressures the activities of the system are not draining properly. Hence as indicated, until there is a thorough reaction in the body, it is not well for there to be the OPPORTUNITIES for same - until the system has adjusted itself!
20. (Q) About how long will that be, after suggestions have been followed? (A) That's almost like saying how long until tomorrow! It depends upon the system's reaction, and upon how thoroughly - of course - the reaction is in the system to the glandular forces, and how thoroughly the manipulations and adjustments are given. As we find, it SHOULD be within the next six to eight weeks - if there are two to three of such manipulations and adjustments; AND, of course, the exercises kept.
21. (Q) What foods are acid-forming for this body?
1523-3 Page 3
(A) All of those that are combining fats with sugars. Starches naturally are inclined for acid reaction. But a normal diet is about twenty percent acid to eighty percent alkalin-producing.
22. (Q) Is it important to thermorize douche at all times? (A) Very well.
23. (Q) What temperature should douche be? (A) As we find, body-temperature.
24. (Q) What treatment should be used to rid hair of dandruff? (A) Any of those preparations that are a good scalp cleansing tone; as Lavoris or Glyco-Thymoline - or combining these occasionally; and Fitch's Hair Restorer - which dissolves same, and is acid of course; while the first two named are alkaline - and these are well to be considered - the acid AND alkaline reaction on the scalp. Of course, oil with Vaseline; that is, as an Olive Oil Shampoo, with Vaseline rubbed in afterwards is very well.
25. (Q) Are my teeth in need of dental attention? (A) Some local attention is needed. But if there is the care in the exercises, and then the Ipsab occasionally used, we would find the gums would be strengthened - and there would be a much healthier condition.
26. (Q) Suggest diet beneficial to preserving teeth. (A) Eggs, potato peelings, sea foods - all of these are particularly given to preserving the teeth; or anything that carries quantities of calcium or aids to the thyroids in its production would be beneficial - so it is not overbalanced, see?
27. (Q) Is calcium taken in pills advisable? (A) That taken from vegetable matter is much more easily assimilated; or from fish AND sea foods.
28. (Q) Are glasses used correct for my eyes? (A) Very well in the present.
29. (Q) What is the cause of the discharge for the past three weeks? (A) This is from the system's not being balanced, as has been indicated.
30. (Q) Any other advice for the body at this time? (A) These as we find, with the general proper precautions for the general health, should keep normalcy for this body.
