Time of Reading ... Market St., 11:00 to 11:25 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. Newark, N.J. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes (on the square). We have the body here, Mr. [1621].
2. Now as we find, there are disturbing conditions that prevent the better normal physical functioning through the body.
3. The greater portion of the suggestions for help, as we find, would be in the nature of corrective measures.
4. If there will be the application in a persistent manner, there may be added many, many years to the useful life - if it, the life, is applied in a constructive way and manner; that is, helpful in relationships to others, rather than a selfish or a self-indulgent or self-aggrandizing way and manner.
5. These then are disturbing conditions as we find them with this body:
6. There is rather the complication of disturbances that arise first, primarily, from pressures that exist in the cerebrospinal system, as related to the activities of the organs of assimilation and eliminations.
7. We find that these have gradually builded such disturbances in the metabolism of the system that there are the affectations to the circulatory forces as related to heart's activity and its relation to the whole hepatic circulation.
8. Thus the poisons and toxic forces are allowed to arise in the system, that prevent the body's feeling good; the shortness of breath at times, insomnia at others; giving the inclination for the body to worry over little things as well as over those over which the body has little or no control.
9. All of these become a part of the disturbing factors through the system.
10. Hence as we find, it behooves the body to correct the condition; for it produces abnormal conditions in the
1621-1 Page 2
heart's activity, though it is reflex rather than organic in its nature.
11. However, if it is allowed to remain it may become more and more organic. Also, from the very nature of the poisons and the reflexes to the liver AND the kidneys, there is caused a disturbance with the glandular forces in the assimilating system.
12. Thus there is an inclination or a tendency towards an arthritic condition in one nature of itself, and a tendency in another for the lack of the proper activity for the pancreas to produce proper reactions - causing heaviness to the lower limbs, and disturbances of that nature across the back - where there is the aching, etc.
13. All of these now MAY be eliminated, if there will be persistency. But if the body lets up on the applications because the body feels better, before there is the entire renewing of the vital activity, we will find a reverting to the disturbing conditions - and the last estate may be worse than the first.
14. First we would begin, then, by a carefully conducted activity as related to the diet, to cleanse or purify the system. As we find, this would be a combination of an apple diet only AND vegetables, see?
15. Then, first:
16. Mornings - only citrus fruit juices, with a very little of other things.
17. Noons - only RAW vegetables, combining not those of some natures but rather any or all of these; lettuce, celery, radish, mustard, spinach, cabbage and the like. Tomatoes, peppers and onions may also be included. These may be taken with a dressing, preferably with a mayonnaise.
18. Evenings - only RAW APPLES!
19. Keep this up for about four or five days.
20. Then, even though the diet has begun or may have begun to produce greater eliminations, we would have a thorough cleansing of the colon with high irrigations. This need not be done - if there is the repeating of this five day diet of the vegetables and the apples in a month - it may not be necessary to have the colon irrigation or colon eliminations until the NEXT period when this purifying is done.
21. After the first five days of the diet, begin with osteopathic adjustments; especially through the areas of the upper dorsal - or from the 2nd and 3rd cervical to the 9th dorsal. Also coordinate the lumbar and coccyx area with the manipulations and corrections as given in the dorsal and cervical area.
22. Also, when the osteopathic adjustments and manipulations
1621-1 Page 3
are begun, we would begin with the Radio-Active Appliance.
23. Of course, the diet - even after the five day diet - should never include highly seasoned foods; no fried foods; no white bread. And potatoes should only be taken when the jackets are eaten also.
24. Do these and we will bring a much nearer to normal condition, and renew the life and vitality and the length of years of service - IF they are directed in constructive manners.
25. Ready for questions.
26. (Q) How many periods of the five-day diet should be taken? (A) It should not be necessary for more than the two periods, about a month apart.
27. (Q) Shall I sell my store at 37 Market St., or shall I take in a Partner to make it easier for me? (A) As we find, it would be better if there would be taken in a YOUNG man as a partner; such an one as [2653] or the like.
28. (Q) Any other advice? (A) Do these things for the present. Keep CONSTRUCTIVE in the diet. Know that the body must not only be good but good FOR something!
29. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file " " Mr. [257] (See the directions [which were enclosed] copied separately for the Osteopath; also directions as to how to obtain the Radio-Active Appliance - the theory of it, etc.)
