1. GC: You will give the answers to the questions regarding this body, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1968]; this we have had before.
3. Ready for questions.
4. (Q) What is the condition of my thyroid and adrenal glands, and should I continue the Atomidine? (A) These have improved considerably. We would continue the use of the Atomidine, but make the periods of taking same - now - a week farther apart. Then take only for a week, and then wait two or three weeks before it is taken again. These activities have been to aid the assimilations of the body, and the activity of the glands as related to that assimilated, to maintain the gain from that assimilated and its distribution through the varied circulations in the body, to aid these to carry on their influence. And these are gaining strength, as the strength and virility of the body has gradually improved. These are on the improve. Do keep, though, more consistently, the head and neck exercise; to maintain a better connection in the upper dorsal and cervical area, of those associations between the centers where the small ganglia between the cerebrospinal and sympathetic systems make closer connection to the organs of the sensory system. For, these will aid the eyes, the speech, the hearing. Occasionally - once a month should be sufficient - have a thorough, THOROUGH, osteopathic treatment. This does not mean merely going over the body and taking special centers and giving them a stimulation. Rather beginning with the centers or segments in the upper cervicals, gradually stimulate the area; not merely the segment itself but the areas between the segments where the spinal cord and the
1968-9 Page 2
sympathetics connect - along the specific areas - as in the 3rd cervical, 2nd and 3rd and 4th dorsal, 9th dorsal, and the whole of the LUMBAR centers. These will aid in keeping tendencies for better distribution of that assimilated in the lymph and emunctory circulation, and also stimulate the cerebrospinal circulation of both blood supply AND nerve energies; thus keeping the body attuned, keeping the activities for all the organs of the body nearer to their normal reactions. Also, when such is done, those stimulations given by the relaxing in the centers of the sacral axis should be extended to the bursa of the feet, especially in the heel and in the center of the feet; that is, toward the toes. These will keep the body from feeling the tiresome effects from long standing or sitting, and make for better conditions through the limbs.
5. (Q) Is the growth of superfluous hair on my body caused by thyroid and what would correct it? (A) This, as indicated, is the activity of the thyroid, but with these being purified - the glands - it will grow to be nearer and nearer a normal activity. There are in a human body no activities that are not in keeping with the activity of the whole system as a unit, but these will be aided to keep in a nearer normal condition.
6. (Q) Should I continue the hydrotherapy and massage treatments, and if so, how often? (A) If it is three months apart now, it will be sufficient. Be well to keep occasionally, for this will keep down those tendencies for an acidity - if the osteopathic treatments are given as indicated.
7. (Q) Should I continue the Pine Oil baths and mud packs for the face? (A) These are very well, to keep the complexion better and a better activity of the body.
8. (Q) What causes me to have sore throat and how can this be prevented? (A) These are the natural tendencies from the general activities in the system, the incoordination in the cerebrospinal and sympathetic systems. That is why, as indicated, those special centers in the 3rd cervical, 1st, 2nd and 3rd and 4th dorsal, are to receive special attention when the osteopathic adjustments are made.
9. (Q) What causes me to have cricks in the neck and back? (A) Not particular about keeping out of drafts! These cause such effects because of the sensitiveness to the body
1968-9 Page 3
and the reflexes from same. But do as indicated. If all of these applications are kept up, better eliminations will be established and these effects will not come about near so easily.
10. (Q) Is it time to have my glasses changed? (A) Not until there has been taken the head and neck exercise for at least several weeks.
11. (Q) Then should I go to Dr. Cosgrove in ...? (A) Dr. Cosgrove's very good.
12. (Q) What is the condition of my wisdom teeth? (A) These are very well.
13. (Q) Sinus? (A) Better.
14. (Q) Is there any special exercise I should take, other than the head and neck exercise? (A) Walking is the best exercise, but don't take this spasmodically. Have a regular time and do it, rain or shine!
15. (Q) Are there any special foods I should avoid, such as white bread? (A) Avoid too much starch or too much of sweets.
16. (Q) Please give any other information that would be helpful at this time. (A) Keep the body not only in the way of being better physically but better physically FOR a better mental and spiritual purpose. Be purposeful! Expect something! Require much of self in thy relationships to others, to the glory of the Creative Forces! and life will be more worth while. And don't forget the sons! [See 1968-1 and 1968-2, etc.]
