1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes - we have the body here, [1523]; this we have had before.
3. As we find, many changes have taken place in the body since last we had it here - physical and mental. Not all of these are for the best in the present. For there has arisen the acute conditions not only from physical reactions but mental conditions that have been as resentments, which have been builded into the mental forces of the body. These reacting with the physical effects upon organ centers that have been a portion of the body's study, now find reflexes in various portions of the body. [Resentments toward sex activities]
4. These are indicated in the toxic conditions from cold as well as the poisons from gum conditions have settled in joints, as in hips, shoulders, neck and head.
5. We find that there would be almost immediate relief from a good, thorough Fume Bath followed by a good rubdown and a gentle but thorough osteopathic relaxation. Such a relaxing treatment should be made to set up drainages from the various centers; as the 4th lumbar, 9th dorsal, 6th and 7th dorsal, 4th and 2nd dorsal, 3rd cervical. This will allow the centers to relax, from which there are the effects of poisons upon the general system in a reflex manner; and then the poisons may be eliminated through the alimentary canal, the respiratory and perspiratory system.
6. Use Witchhazel in the Fumes. These treatments we would have once each week until at least three treatments have been given in the manner indicated. Each time have the thorough massage or a full, complete osteopathic relaxing, not a stimulating treatment.
7. Then change your mental attitude, and we will find there will be bettered conditions for this body.

8. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) Why has the heartbeat been so rapid, especially just after retiring? (A) This is the system attempting to adjust itself to the variations in tempo of the physical and the mental body. This is just as described. The impulses arising from centers along the spine from deep meditation, deep imagination or deep thinking, radiate to various portions of the body. With the congestion which has arisen from toxic poisons resulting from cold, it makes everything work fast. You had just as well ask why does it make the liver work faster, the kidneys work faster, the toes work faster! It doesn't the tongue, or the eyes, or the smell, or any of the sensory organs - for these become dull or slow. It's the central nervous system, attuning to the mental system! Here you may have a very good demonstration of a physical body and a mental body. Tune them together!
10. (Q) Are there adhesions in Fallopian tube preventing normal activity of the ovum flow? (A) No; this is from general repressions and those disturbances arising from long ago that have not been fully completed in their correction. This may be accomplished by the building of better body-conditions physically and the coordinating mentally to bring better relationships.
11. (Q) Please suggest corrective measures for occasional pain in left side. (A) What have we been doing! All of these symptoms are associated one with the other; and if there is brought about better accord, better coordinating through the system, those tensions will be removed that cause these disturbances. Do that. Would breathing exercise for re-ionizing the system together with the head and neck exercise be well at this time? Not until we get the body coordinating better physically and physically-mentally. Then these exercises would be very well, to keep the activity in body.
12. (Q) Please suggest foods to help build up my reserve strength. Would beef juice be helpful? (A) Wouldn't be helpful in the immediate, but when drainages are set up all of the body-building forces would be well - keeping them well balanced. These would be given in an outline - not the only foods, but an outline: Mornings - whole grain cereals or citrus fruit juices, though not at the same meal. When using orange juice, combine lime with it. When using grapefruit, combine lemon with it - just a

little. Egg, preferably only the yolk, or rice or buckwheat cakes, or toast, or just any one of these, would be well of mornings. Noons - a raw salad, including tomatoes, radishes, carrots, celery, lettuce, watercress - any or all of these, with a soup or vegetable broth, or seafoods or the like. Evenings - fruits, as cooked apples; potatoes, tomatoes, fish, fowl, lamb, and occasionally beef but not too often. Keep these as the main part of a well balanced diet. Any cereal drink may be taken, but keep away from carbonated drinks.
13. (Q) What laxative would be best for occasional use? (A) A vegetable laxative for this body, varied once in a while with a mineral.
14. (Q) Any mental and spiritual advice regarding the outstanding problem about which I have been so concerned? [A.R.E. personnel turmoils] (A) Find the answers deep within self. For, as indicated, know thy Redeemer liveth. He may live in and with thee. Open the door. Coordinate purposes with hopes, with desires. Then act that way; expecting thyself to do thy share and thy Lord, thy Christ, to do His - and He will!
