Time of Reading 10:30 to 10:50 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Virginia.
1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1540]; this we have had before.
3. As we find, conditions are not so well in some respects as when we had same here before. There are the indications of not making the applications suggested in a coordinant or consistent manner; and this has tended to work a hardship upon the general nervous system.
4. Especially through those centers and areas from which the eliminating system receives its impulse as related to the nerve forces, as combined with the general cerebrospinal nerve system, do we find the greater strain.
5. This is specifically in the 4th lumbar, the 9th dorsal, and the brachial - or vegetative nerve center plexus.
6. Hence there have been periods when this incoordination between the nervous systems has produced the violent headaches; the lack of coordinant activity between impulse and the general nervous system; aching through the eyes, the head, and the TOP of the head apparently is as separate, or as if a cord were about same, just above the ear.
7. These as we find are conditions that exist in the present.
8. In making application in the present - we would have THESE applications which we will suggest made in a COORDINANT manner, or working one with the other; for each is dependent upon the other for making corrective forces with this body.
9. About twice each week we would have the osteopathic adjustments; and we would have at least eight in the first series.
10. Specific attention would be given to those centers indicated, and in this particular individual, make the adjustments OPPOSITE to that ordinarily done; that is, the
1540-3 Page 2
9th dorsal, the lumbar axis and the sacral - THEN from the 2nd and 3rd dorsal to the base of the brain, see? These should be made in a consistent manner.
11. Take the eight adjustments; then leave these off for a period of two to three weeks. Then have another series.
12. Also begin immediately, and take along with the osteopathic treatments, you see, small doses of the TONICINE; to make for corrective measures with the glandular forces as related to the activity of the nerve system, and especially the eliminating systems of the body. We would take only half a teaspoonful every other day, but take this consistently all during the time the osteopathic treatments are taken, during both series, but NOT during the rest period from the treatments; for these, the Tonicine and the osteopathic treatments, are to work along together, you see. Do not do one without the other.
13. After the Tonicine has been taken for a week, and at least two adjustments, we would begin then (not before) with the use of the Violet Ray (hand machine); but we would use this a little bit differently from the manner ordinarily used. Do not use the bulb applicator, but rather the ROD applicator; and use it first with the right hand, the next day with the left foot - but lay the anode or applicator upon glass, then place the foot upon same. The next day use the applicator in the left hand, then the next day the right foot placed upon same - after it is laid on the glass; and so on about the body. Do this each day for at least ten days. Then leave this off until the second series of the osteopathic treatments, then take again. Do not take this longer than two minutes in the first series, or longer than three minutes in the second series, see?
14. In the diet - keep away from FATS, especially any quantities of grease. Not that butter or cream should be eliminated, but the fats as of fowl or meat of any nature. As the meats, use fish, fowl or lamb especially. Occasionally roast beef may be taken if desired, but not the fat - and have same well done. Principally have a vegetable diet. Dry cereals and cooked cereals may be used for the morning meal, and just OCCASIONALLY the fruit or fruit juices instead of the cereal; but plenty of fruit - cooked and raw - through the day.
15. Do these, as we find, for the better conditions of this body.
16. Ready for questions.
17. (Q) Any special drinks the body should avoid? (A) Any of the carbonated water drinks - beware of these.
18. (Q) What are the causes and cure for the peculiar
1540-3 Page 3
sensations in my brain? Have I been out of my head at times? (A) As indicated, this is the incoordination between IMPULSE and the reactions from the cerebrospinal and sympathetic nerve system. The osteopathic adjustments, and especially the heat from the high vibrations of the violet ray in the manner indicated, will aid.
19. (Q) What is a cure for these awful depressed feelings? (A) The adjustments, and the ATTUNING of the system in its general activity through the means indicated.
20. (Q) Can I be cured at home, or is it advisable to have sanatorium care? (A) Can be cured at home, if you will follow the suggestions in a consistent manner!
21. (Q) Would it be well for me to have a rest from my business? (A) The first series of treatments, we would have a rest.
22. (Q) Is the menopause responsible for the feelings I have? (A) Menopause is responsible in a great part for the condition.
23. (Q) Are my eyes in good condition? (A) As indicated, these are suffering from the general nervous condition; and the incoordination naturally makes periods when the eyes go "blank" as it were, for a second or more.
24. (Q) How can I find myself? Would it be well to live with relatives and friends, or to make a home for myself? (A) For the time being, or until after the second series of treatments, live with others - and around others; so as to make those reactions necessary in such contacts. Then, it may be better to make a home for self.
25. (Q) Is there any special jewelry that I should wear that will raise my vibration? (A) We would not wear jewelry during those periods of this change in the vibrations of the body (through using the violet ray in the manner indicated). Afterwards - anything that is very OLD would be aiding to the body.
26. (Q) To what numbers and notes do I vibrate? (A) To number four, and note C.
27. (Q) What should be my hobby? (A) Any games with others should be the hobby.
28. (Q) Please give me some mental and spiritual advice that will help me to carry on. (A) Just keep the attitude of helpfulness to others. Do not close self so much upon self - this especially is indicated through these special adjustment periods. Even though at times forcing self, it is well to keep in the companionship and associations with others.

As to the constructive forces - know that the SPIRITUAL is the source of health, of light, of understanding; and necessarily the source of ALL happiness.
