1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [2092]. Now, as we find, there are disturbing conditions in the physical functionings of the body. These are partially constitutional, as may be called. Hence affect the organs, and also the functioning of the organs. This differentiation while slight, and may be called by some unreasonable, is quite a different condition from being disturbed purely functionally in the disturbances; for, as seen where conditions in the disturbances of the abdominal organs and abdominal regions are causing disturbed natures, arising from disturbed functionings of the liver and the hepatic circulation, these are also of the nature where the organs of same have been and are disturbed in their ORGANIC reaction; so that the functioning of same is below the normal from the disorder or dis-ease in liver and hepatic circulation; and those other disorders that arise in the membranes of throat, head and respiratory system, are more reflex from the disturbance OF the functioning of the organ, because the organ is disturbed in its organic reaction.
2. These disturbances we find were brought about by that condition wherein the disturbances have made for tendencies of lesions, and tissue to be involved, producing in portions of the system the conditions of a plethora nature, in the torso or trunk portion of body, in the abdominal organs, in the lymph circulation through face, hands, limbs, and extremities. These also make for those disturbances to the kidneys and the functioning of same, so that the disorder makes for the acute pains that arise at times in portions of the system, where those disturbances in the functioning and in the organs have, as it were, pushed aside, and are making pressures by the accumulations of those forces that should have been eliminated from the system. Hence we have a combination, rather than a complication of disorders; though complications are natural from compilation and a series of
2092-1 Page 2
disorders in the system.
3. As we find, these may be materially aided, and - if there will be responses to the applications for the setting up of the correct condition, and the correcting of the disorders in system - should be eliminated to a great extent. If there are those reactions that show for the inability of the organs to respond to applications, that would not be detrimental to one portion of the system to the aid of another, then we will find these will merely aid and bring temporary relief; though, if there are the abilities of the organs to respond through the systematic, consistent, and persistency of the applications for the removal and the relief of the disorders, then we will find conditions will bring permanent relief, and the reactions will be of a nature where near normalcy may be expected again in the activities of the system.
4. These that make for pressures in the respiratory system are more sympathetic than organic. The organic disorders are in the liver itself.
5. In meeting, then, the needs of the conditions, as we find, it will require persistence and consistent reaction on the part of the activities used for the relieving and correcting of conditions in the body:
6. First, we would prepare as this for the system - we would begin first with these, taken in rotation for at least three to four rounds of the properties, that will cleanse the system and make for proper reactions to be expected by the assimilating of forces that make for resuscitation for the system:
7. Begin first with Castoria. We would use preferably Fletcher's Castoria. Take one-half teaspoonful every thirty minutes until a whole bottle has been taken, see? This should be taken all in one day.
8. The next day at eventide take a tablespoonful of Milk of Bismuth.
9. The next day at eventide, or evening, when retiring, take two tablespoonsful of Milk of Magnesia, see?
10. The next eventide we would take two wafers of Phenolax.
11. The next evening we would take Milk of Magnesia with Milk of Bismuth (teaspoonful of each), with fifteen minims of lactated pepsin in same - see?
12. Then rest one day.
13. Then begin with the whole combination over again, see?
14. We would also apply along the whole of the cerebrospinal system each evening, and especially in the area from the solar plexus center - or from the 9th dorsal to the base of the brain, first the electrical driven vibrator over the
2092-1 Page 3
whole system, extending down to the limbs, see? then the violet ray; the violet ray especially in that region from the 9th dorsal to the base of the brain. These would be applied for five to fifteen minutes each one, first the vibrator and then the violet ray.
15. The diet during this period would be rather as this, though it may be altered to meet the needs of the conditions:
16. Mornings - citrous fruit juices (oranges and grapefruit juice). These will be well to be taken, even though they are used from the canned - just so they carry little of the preservatives. Libby's brand is an excellent one. Following this there may be Zwieback or browned bread, or rice cakes with a little butter, with a cereal drink - preferably Ovaltine.
17. Noons - green vegetables, or milk and dry bread. The milk may be altered from the Bulgarian variety, or the milk that has been heated but not boiled - see? These will be well. The green vegetables would include lettuce, celery, tomatoes, spinach and water cress, or the like. These would be well seasoned with olive oil or tapioca, or paprika, that there may be the proper toning of the digestive system for those cleansings that would take place to make for resuscitation in the system.
18. Evenings - well cooked vegetables, but preferably all those that grow ABOVE the ground, than those that grow IN the ground; though the yam may be included rather than the white potato. Also there may be the strengthening foods such as broths of mutton, beef, chicken - with barley, but not with rice. There may also be taken at this meal a mild stimuli as of coffee without milk, with very little or no sugar.
19. These we would follow at least until there has been four rounds of these properties taken. Then we would give further instructions for this body, [2092].
20. Ready for questions.
21. (Q) Is any of my sickness caused by my teeth? (A) Rather of a contributory nature, but not the whole cause; for this is rather from that as has been given - torpidity in the liver. Grains or spots on same.
22. (Q) Will my body be in normal health again? (A) As has been suggested here, if the responses through those activities as outlined are of the nature that there is the resuscitating force in the ORGANIC disorder (rather than the functional disorder of organs), we may expect permanent relief.
23. (Q) Is there any further advice for those who have the
2092-1 Page 4
care of this body? (A) Follow these as we have suggested. Then we may give further instructions. We must eliminate the poisons sufficiently from the system that there may be allowed resuscitating forces to overcome those pressures that have been created. Do that for the present.
24. We are through for the present. Copy to [53] " " Ass'n file
