1. HLC: You will given the physical condition of this body at this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
1. Please give specific locations of necessary adjustments or conditions that should be corrected.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2072]; this we have had before.
2. Please trace and explain specifically that which is taking place in this physical body as the glandular forces change.
3. As we find, while there are a great many improvements in some directions, there is much yet to be desired - if the body would become the better channel for those physical activities and manifestations that are desired.
3. Is the sensitiveness to the effect of foods and their combinations due to this glandular change? Explain.]
4. The glandular forces, as we have indicated, are the disturbing factors. Hence it would be well that is be understood as to why and how physical conditions at the present are thus affected; especially as related to the assimilating system, and the source or cause of the body's being allergic to certain foods, conditions or activities about the body.
5. As we have indicated, all the glandular forces of the body work together; yet they each take from the assimilating system - in the lymph and emunctory supply - that necessary for producing the functionings in relation to other portions of the body. Also they each supply those influences for the re-creating of self, as well as in relation to the glandular force of the functioning organs that supplies each organ with that necessary for the reproduction of itself.
6. Much of the real disturbance in this body, as we have indicated, arises from the incoordination of the eliminating
2072-3 Page 2
systems. This has grown to such an extent as to affect, and be affected by, the conditions produced in the glandular system. Thus that particular part as related to the perspiratory and respiratory system in connection with the alimentary canal is affected. Also the glands of the thyroid system and the adrenals have become greatly involved.
7. As these make for the lack of elements as related to the potash and the sodas of the body-forces themselves, the expressions are oft found in the irritation to the superficial circulation.
8. With these impoverishments in some directions, then, and the more abundant supply of other elements, to be sure there is an upsetting of the relative activity between the spleen, pancreas, and the ducts and glands in the gall duct area.
9. Through this disturbance, these call upon those centers from which impulse arises along the coordinating thread of the cerebrospinal systems - or the central nervous system and the sympathetic.
10. Thus lesions of a character have been formed along various portions of the cerebrospinal system.
11. In their reaction these cause the impulse for the body to be allergic to the taking of foods which - in the basic analysis - the body has been and is short of.
12. Thus these become as overpowering influences. As an indication: Little of fats or greases are assimilated by the body, and oils - even of nuts; especially those that are rich in that which easily becomes rancorous by the slow digestion or activity. So, violent headaches are produced; a disturbance to the digestive forces, even to the point of the system's attempting to expel same by vomiting. Also any form that would produce too much of lymph, or that would cause inflammation of the mucous membranes through the intestinal system.
13. To be sure, these are extreme examples; but these are indicated that the body may comprehend the condition which exists; that measures may be indicated which will relieve or correct these disturbances, so that gradually - within six to twelve months - the body may grow to a much nearer normal balance through the body.
14. Then, these are the conditions to be met, and the manners in which there may be brought about the corrections:
15. First we would begin with these; disregarding - as might be said - all of those things that have been heretofore indicated; for these are taking the body-functionings, body-reactions, body-reflexes, WHERE they are in the present, see?
2072-3 Page 3
16. Begin with taking one drop of Atomidine in half a glass of water each morning before any meal is taken, for five days. Then leave off five days. Then take again. Continue in this manner for at least five series, or five rounds of repeating the Atomidine, see?
17. Each evening when ready to retire, except Sunday evenings - or at least six evenings each week, you see, - and keeping it up for at least ten weeks - we would use the electrically driven vibrator; with the cup applicator. Give this along the cerebrospinal system, on either side of the spinal column. Begin at the base of the brain and use in a short, circular motion downward on both sides of the spine to that area about the 9th dorsal. Then begin at the coccyx, or end of the spine, and go upward to the 9th dorsal, on either side of the spine. Take at least thirty to forty-five minutes to administer this. Also when this is given at the 9th dorsal, or at that area across the diaphragm, go crosswise of the body; extending to even the frontal portion with same, see?
18. Following the vibrator treatment, massage along the spine and the entire body with Pure Peanut Oil; all the body will absorb. Use this also over portions of the face, the neck, the chest, across the abdomen at times.
19. About once each month have a good thorough, relaxing treatment osteopathically administered; with special reference to those areas of the vegetative nerve system - this from the 3rd and 4th dorsal to the 1st cervicals; this, as ordinarily, both right and left sides of same. Also there would be particular reference to the lumbar axis and the ileum plexus. These would not be oftener than once a month, if given very thoroughly.
20. Now, as to the food values to be taken internally; to work with the administering of the vibrations and with the corrective measures, also with those changes wrought in the circulation and in the purifying of the glandular system:
21. Take plenty of citrous fruit juices; even if this is a part of the meal each day it is well. With the orange juice put a little lemon - that is, for a glass of orange juice put about two squeezes from a good lemon, not a dry one, so that there will be at least a quarter to half a teaspoonful. With the grapefruit juice put a little lime; about eight to ten drops. Stir these well, of course, before taking.
22. Also we would use beef juice; not the beef itself, but broil beef - a good steak, see? this not burned, not rare, but thoroughly done. Chew but do not swallow the flesh itself, see - merely the juice. Take a little of this at a time; not attempting great quantities. Even if there is
2072-3 Page 4
only taken two or three mouthsful, it will be well in the beginning.
23. At least twice or three times each week take a little CALCIOS; this preferably upon a whole wheat cracker.
24. DO eat at least two slices of toast during a day. This may be with or without butter, or some sweet. If sweet is taken, preferably let it be honey in the honeycomb or Karo - the light rather than the colored. But the carbohydrates are needed in the body. It is not necessary that one of these be taken upon each piece of bread eaten, unless the system gradually calls for same.
25. DO take almonds; not mixed nuts, but only almonds - even one, two or three may be taken at first, or be assimilated in the beginning; but gradually these will be desired by the body and more may be taken. Masticate these thoroughly. For, especially with the lack of the necessary quantity of saliva indicated here, the manner of mastication of these is very important - and they should be masticated VERY thoroughly.
26. Occasionally - once in a week or ten days - take a pinch of elm bark (powdered elm) and sprinkle and stir into a glass of water. Let it set for half to three quarters of an hour before taking, but not longer - for it would tend to become rancid.
27. Remember, most of the body's allergy to the foods is because of those conditions indicated, see?
28. The absorption of the Peanut Oil through the nightly rub will be less apt to be rancid than any other oil. Don't attempt to eat peanuts, however; until eight or ten weeks have passed at least, and then never unless freshly roasted.
29. Popcorn is very well for the body; popcorn wafers and the like would be good, or small cakes made of popcorn flour would be well as a part of the diet; arrowroot crackers and the like.
30. Occasionally eat raw a little of carrots, radishes, celery and the like. Do not attempt to take too much; but TRAIN the system for these changes, as it were, for better conditions in the body.
31. Do these, consistently, persistently; we will bring about those changes necessary for better physical conditions and the better preparation for the body to conceive and bear children.
32. After these have been followed consistently for at least ten weeks, we may then give further instructions according to how well the applications have been made and how the reactions have taken place for a better body development.
33. Ready for questions.
2072-3 Page 5
34. (Q) May any further advice be given at this time for the preparation of this body for childbirth, so that it might build a healthy physical and sound mental vehicle for an incoming entity? (A) This we have given is a plenty, if it will be followed! But do all of these things before there are the real attempts for childbirth. For the strain upon the body, under the present conditions, would make for the lack of elements that are naturally necessary in the body.
35. (Q) Explain anything that can be explained, by "physical reading," of immaculate conception. (A) To be sure, this would have much more to do with the mental and spiritual aspects than the physical; though the body should be near to perfect coordination physically for such to be consummated in a body, and then the high mental and spiritual aspirations, desires and purposes. This information may be given much better from the spiritual and mental aspect - or approach.
