Time of Reading 4:00 to 4:20 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Ohio. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, Miss [1567].
2. As we find, there are disturbing conditions which prevent the better normal reaction in the physical forces of the body.
3. These as we find, in their expression or manifestation, are in the nervous system disturbances which cause severe attacks of headaches.
4. However, these as we find arise rather from definite disturbances.
5. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, Miss [1567] we are speaking of:
6. The blood supply indicates a taxation in the nervous system, as well as poor eliminations.
7. These as we find affect also the digestive forces, by the natural ABNORMAL condition of the stomach itself.
8. Owing to the position then of the stomach, there are those pressures arising - through the pneumogastric and hypogastric nerve plexus, through the secondary cardiac plexus area, combined with the vagus nervous system - that produce the greater disturbances through temples, sometimes eyes, at other times the top of the head. These are SEVERE reactions to the nerve centers that are reflexed in the activity of the digestive and assimilating system.
9. These as we find are the sources, the causes of the greater disturbances.
10. And with the corrections of these we should find the nervous system, or systems, the reactions of the imaginative and mental reactions much changed; the digestive forces very much nearer in order to normalcy; better assimilation; and with the aid through activities of those properties which we will indicate for the system, better eliminations.
11. As we would find, then, in making for assimilations for this body:
12. First, it is necessary at times for the use of a

sedative, but keep away from those that are habit forming as much as possible. And as corrections are made these should be entirely left off or not necessary at all for the body to find relief.
13. We would begin using the Radio-Active Appliance each day, preferably at a period when the body may rest for at least forty to sixty minutes - even though it be in the evening just before retiring. And use this same period, when the Appliance is used, as the period for constructive meditation upon creative energies and forces of a spiritual nature that may be applied in the relationships of the body to the activities with others.
14. The attachments would be circulated about the body; that is, in this manner: Make a mark on one pole of the Appliance, so that it is always the first attachment. This may be done by using a piece of adhesive paper or string tied to that anode. Alternate the attachments as follows:
15. First day: The first attachment would be to the right wrist, the last attachment to the left ankle.
16. Second day: First attachment to the left wrist, last attachment to the right ankle.
17. Third day: First to the left ankle, last to the right wrist.
18. Fourth day: First to the right ankle, last to the left wrist.
19. Thus a circle of the body will have been made in the attachments, you see; the first attachment being or becoming the positive, the last the negative.
20. Then begin over again, attaching in the same manner.
21. Continue using in this manner, for forty minutes to an hour each day, for three weeks. Then leave off three to five days, and then begin all over again.
22. Keep the anodes or plates very clean by polishing with emery paper each time before attaching.
23. Also each day about thirty minutes after the heaviest meal (whichever meal is the heaviest), we would take a quarter teaspoonful of Alcaroid in two glasses of water; that is, dissolve it in a small quantity, then fill the glass; then drink another glass of water afterward.
24. We would begin also with osteopathic adjustments, with the osteopath making suggestions for the type support for the stomach which will fit the body the better.
25. The specific adjustments would be in the upper dorsal and ESPECIALLY in the vagus nerve center and system; coordinating each time the 9th dorsal center as well as the lumbar axis WITH the adjustments made in the dorsal and cervical areas.

26. These would be taken twice a week for three weeks, left off for a week and then taken for a period of three weeks again.
27. In the matter of the diet, this as we find is most essential with the corrections as well as the vibrations set up by the body-electrical forces, as well as the manipulations and the activities of the properties indicated for the digestion.
28. Hence this would be rather as an outline; not just these alone, but foods of such natures:
29. Mornings - either citrus fruit juices or cereals, preferably COOKED cereals when taken - either Maltex or Whole Wheat. DO NOT take cereals at the same meal that the citrus fruits are taken, however. Alternate these. Or stewed fruits with whole wheat toast, with Ovaltine or coffee - but not with milk in the coffee, though the Ovaltine is made with milk.
30. Noons - preferably we would have this meal consist principally of raw vegetables, either by the combinations or lettuce or celery with occasionally the meat juices or vegetable juices. But not so much of meats OR cooked vegetables at this meal.
31. Evenings - preferably this would be the heavier or the more varied meal. In meats, if these are taken, we would use only fish, fowl or lamb. No fried foods ever at any time. Have more leafy vegetables, rather than those of pod or the root nature or those that grow under the ground.
32. Never combine white bread, potatoes, spaghetti or the like - any two of these in the same meal.
33. Do these and be consistent; and we should find not only the attacks lessening but farther and farther apart, as the adjustments are made that hold the stomach in position, and as the digestion and assimilation and eliminations are aided; thus bringing near normal forces for this body.
34. Ready for questions.
35. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file
