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, [2072]; this we have had before.
3. In many respects there are real improvements. In others there are halts and jerks. These arise from the inability of the full coordination of the system's eliminating channels, by the excesses of tensions - or the inability of proper relaxations at times through the body.
4. Here, too, we will find that the more normal the eliminations are, with sufficient mental and physical activity for there to be the normal appetites - physical, mental and spiritual - the better will be the reactions to conditions of all natures in relationships to the body in this experience.
5. These may appear confusing. But normalcy is that needed. Quiet, work, temperaments - all of these need expression. Too much has too long been suppressed in the body. This is much that has caused the poor coordination in the eliminations of the body. Thus those general tensions that have existed which have brought about the needs of those reactions which have at times taken place.
6. Occasionally we would have thorough relaxations osteopathically. These may be done by any good, sincere osteopathic manipulator, but preferably such as Richardson - at least once a month - a thorough relaxation and alignment.
7. The violet ray for this body, if not too severely given, would be good, but should be kept to the upper portions, or above the diaphragm principally; the face, the neck, the arms and shoulders - with the bulb applicator. Not too severe, but sufficient to stimulate circulation - about ten to fifteen minutes, see? once or twice or three times a week.
8. Then keep the circulation through the eliminations. Keep these well through the alimentary canal.

9. These will bring the better conditions for this body.
10. In the diets - continue to grow more to that of normal, and not too much of abnormal.
11. Ready for questions.
12. (Q) Should the body continue Atomidine? (A) Only about three days a month, now - unless other conditions develop. But have those three days in succession, one after the other.
13. (Q) Calcios? (A) This is well to keep up for the time being, for at least until there is a better coordination in the general circulation as to the chemical processes through the body.
14. (Q) Have lesions been corrected? (A) These have been relaxed. By long periods without relaxation, or by cold or congestion or overphysical strain, they tend to tie up again. Thus the violet ray occasionally, and the thorough osteopathic relaxation at least once a month.
15. (Q) Explain extreme heat along spine which sometimes occurs during sleep. (A) In the thorough relaxing of the body, there is the attempt to coordinate the nerve forces of cerebrospinal and sympathetic system, or the eliminating forces of the body as related to the internal or deeper activity. And as a nerve is as an electric force, it is that which heats the body. At times when this occurs it is almost as a short-circuiting. Hence the need of the better stimulations towards eliminations.
16. (Q) What soap, manner of cleansing, creams and makeup would be least harmful and most helpful in correcting and beautifying the skin? (A) Pure Castile soap [See 2072-6, Par. R19] is the better as a cleanser. As a cleansing cream or the like, the Genuine Black and White products are nearer to normal. The Milkweed Cream used occasionally for this body would be very beneficial.
17. (Q) What deodorant and anti-perspirant would be effective and unharmful for this body? (A) The use of pure soaps is preferable to any attempt to deodorize. ANY that allays perspiration certainly clogs the activity of the respiratory and perspiratory system. And the activity of the glands closest, of course, under the arms and between the thighs or limbs, is that which causes such conditions. Then, the more often there is the use of the bath or the soap and water, the better it is.
18. (Q) What ingredients in such preparations are harmful? (A) Anything that closes the pores of the skin to prevent
2072-6 Page 3
perspiration.
19. (Q) Explain reaction, and state whether beneficial or harmful results are obtained from the use of Thyroid Tablets as prescribed by present day doctors. (A) These are where there are the various conditions in the thyroids, and it is retroactive by a glandular secretion upon the system. As to these properties related to this body - remember, each body is a law until itself respecting such preparations or herbs or minerals from which drugs are made. And these may only be given - that is, as to their beneficial or harmful reactions - in reference to this body. Here, from suppression, there has been a lack of proper activity of the thyroid. This is better produced by that influence of iodine in the body. This is one of the four principles necessary to be present in the activity of a normal body. Hence the indications that the Atomidine be used (or the atomic iodine) as a means of purifying or cleansing, or causing better activity of all the glands. Now these have been helped, yet need the occasional use of same. Thyroid to this body, with the use of that as a purifying agent, might cause irregularity in heart activity or pulsation, excess activity of glands either in the pelvic organs or the liver or the thyroid or breasts themselves. So don't use it!
20. (Q) Explain likewise the Sulfa drugs. (A) This is a reacting agent upon the pre-conceived idea of conditions in a blood supply from activities arising in the organs of genitation; and where there is an excess or a disease, or an impulse, it reacts upon same. DON'T use it in THIS body at present! There might arise conditions that this would be necessary.
21. (Q) What is the cause of Caesarian births? (A) This is produced by other disturbances. This wouldn't occur here with this body.
22. (Q) What should be the care, the precaution, against? (A) The perfect relaxation and the position of the womb or the uterus during the stage of pregnancy.
23. (Q) Give a color this body might meditate upon beneficially for self-healing. For healing of others. (A) Deep purple.
