Time of Reading 3:00 to 3:30 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. New York City.
1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body. You will answer the questions she has submitted, as I ask them.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, [1530].
3. Now as we find, disturbing conditions in the physical forces of the body are rather specific; yet the reaction of same through the system is rather of a GENERAL nature - in the present.
4. And if measures are taken to eradicate the disturbance, this may be prevented from becoming localized or becoming a condition of a nature where the system will have adjusted itself to same - or a chronic disturbance.
5. These are conditions as we find them with this body, [1530]:
6. The blood supply indicates that in the slowing up of the activity of portions of the system it has tended to leave drosses; owing to the lack of coordinations in the portions of the body where elements are created for coagulative forces; thus allowing such portions to become rather sources of infection.
7. Hence in the extremities - with the lack of this full circulation - we find that, with ANY undue reaction, or even after rest of an evening, there is the inclination for stiffening; and at times even the swelling of joints.
8. This occurs in hands and in limbs, knees and feet, as well as in the fingers and elbows and shoulders at times.
9. It is not a true arthritic condition, nor rheumatic, nor yet of the nature that there are truly the specific sources of infection. But as indicated, the causes are specific - and the reactions are of a neuritic, arthritic, as well as rheumatic nature of disturbance.
10. In the activities of the circulation, or to the circulation, we find that the superficial circulation has been slowed; and there are reflexes seen in the eliminating
1530-2 Page 2
system, as well as the reactions where the GENERAL feelings of the body become involved in the disturbance.
11. These as we find make for repressions at times in the respiratory system - as a heaviness through portions of the lungs. At other times there is a reaction through the digestive system, and the inclination for foods to easily form gas.
12. All of these, as indicated, are specific disturbances and in the present produce a GENERAL reaction.
13. There is a slowed pulsation, and at times a slowed or low pressure.
14. These all affect, of course, the activity of the superficial reactions of nerve system TO the cerebrospinal system.
15. In making corrective measures then, as we find:
16. We find in the present it would be well to have a few GENERAL applications of corrective forces along the cerebrospinal system; rather NEUROPATHIC in nature - that is: AS THE CORRECTIONS ARE MADE IN THE SEGMENTS OF THE CEREBROSPINAL SYSTEM, follow the impulse along all the subluxations that are indicated - or the jamming BETWEEN the segments. Follow the nerve plexus to their reaction to organs themselves.
17. It would be well to have eight or ten such treatments; at first having one each day for three or four days, then they may be made once or twice a week until the full number are taken.
18. Now twice a week, during the period of taking the neuropathic treatments, there should be rather the low Diathermy - that is, the low heat that will tend to correct vibratory forces of the nerve systems through the body. These should not be too high nor too long, but at least three to six of such treatments taken.
19. Then the diet, and the general activity of the mental as well as the physical forces of the body:
20. Well that the body take each day a certain amount of exercise, or as much as possible, in the open. Walking is the best exercise, but this - though - in the OPEN, when at all practical.
21. In the diet, keep to those things that are not excessive in starch, nor acid-producing foods; but let at least one meal each day - or a portion of one meal each day - be of GREEN and RAW vegetables.
22. We find that red wine in the afternoon - three or four o'clock - would be well, if it is taken as FOOD; NOT as a drink. Take about an ounce to an ounce and a half or two ounces of red wine or sherry wine - with brown or black
1530-2 Page 3
bread, preferably. This will tone the digestive forces and make for better abilities for assimilation of foods.
23. But not great quantities of fats should be taken at all by the body.
24. Do these and we will bring the better conditions for this body, [1530].
25. Ready for questions.
26. (Q) Who would be suggested to give the corrective measures and manipulations? (A) As we find, such as Dr. Mary Miller.
27. (Q) Why do I have a tendency to sleep when I read? (A) The toxic forces from the lack of coordination, or the slowing up - as we have indicated - of the nerve impulses between the cerebrospinal and sympathetic system.
28. (Q) I seem to want to eat or sleep when I start to read. (A) As just indicated, unless there is an activity of that necessary to create coordination between cerebrospinal and superficial circulation, sluggishness occurs from toxic forces. Do these things then as indicated, and we will bring better forces, better coordination.
29. (Q) Why do I get so tired without any apparent reason? (A) As just indicated, the toxic condition - and toxic means the lack of elimination of used energies by the slowed circulation. It would be well for the body to take ONE drop of Atomidine in half a glass of water before the morning meal for three to four days, then leave off for about three to four days, and then take again. Do this about three to four such periods or rounds, but be persistent - don't take it all at once, or take it one day and leave it off the next! but take for three days and leave off for five, and then take about three days again. See?
