1. EC: We have the body here, [2193], and those conditions physically and mentally that disturb the body.
2. In considering the physical conditions, the mental is disturbed by the physical outlook upon the material things about the body, the effect of mental and material things upon the body.
3. The mental forces are well balanced, needing only the reassurance of those spiritual attributes that may aid in bringing resuscitating forces, rather than the creating of those that produce hindrances in the physical conditions.
4. In the physical body, these conditions we find existent:
5. In the circulations we find there is a form of anemia, such that the elements in the blood stream - as supplied by many of the organs that contribute those various elements for the functioning of other organs in the system - are lacking in that which makes for the proper eliminations from the system, and elements that make for a tendency in those portions of the system where pressures and hindrances create impulses that produce too great a form of coagulation; hence conditions, as we find, that make for those tendencies and - in some instances, as we shall see - the accumulation of refuse forces as to hinder in the proper distribution of the proper character of circulations in the body, causing an accumulation as seen over portions of the system, in the extremities of the body at times making for heaviness in the feet, too great an internal circulation for the capillary or emunctory circulation, producing those strangulations about centers in the sensory system, making for the character or type of hindrance to the vision, to the sensory system as to the taste, as to the hearing. While the auditory forces are very good in many respects, there are times when there is seen a great deal more acuteness than at others. At periods it is seen that the tastes of the body, that have existed in the system, as excited by those sensory impulses, have altered entirely; even to the sense of bitter and sweet, or
2193-1 Page 2
sour and sweet. These have changed entirely. This may be better seen in those senses as related to smell, or the odor that may be had from confection or green vegetables in their preparation. The same condition, in a greater extent, hinders in the vision, producing in the back portion and about the optic center itself a gradual form of a chrysalis that hinders the vision. Especially is this seen at some periods greater than at others, with a gradual covering over of same. These then, as indicated, are from the blood supply in its inability to keep the even balance through certain elements having been lacking in the system, and these elements gradually forming into chrysalis formations in the blood supply find - through pressures existent in the system, in those centers or places where this tendency, this weakness occurs - a physical obstruction to the functioning of those organs in the sympathetic system. These also, as we shall see, produce some pressures in other portions of the body, but in clearing the one we will find that the whole general health and welfare of the body will be materially aided.
6. In the nerve system, this we find, to be sure, more or less involved in the condition; for as the nerve impulse is that stimuli which makes for the circulation, and also for impulse to be carried to the various portions of the system, these have either become accentuated by pressures that exist in the system or so relaxed, or so exercised by the condition existent from the region where the impulse begins from that assimilated in the system, as to follow along with the circulation, of course, becoming a secondary condition; though at times the whole nervous system seems to be "all to pieces" as it were, which arises from fear, from mental conditions that affect the body by the physical conditions.
7. Then, in meeting the needs of the conditions of this body:
8. As we find, this will require persistence on the part of the body respecting the physical applications for the body, as well as in the diet and the activities for the physical forces of the body; yet these should within a period of twenty-eight to thirty days begin to show improvements, and would continue to be on the improve if these factors are kept in their relationships properly as to aid in creating for the system the proper elements, without throwing others out of balance, that will cause absorption of those forces that are producing the pressures and the disorders in the system. This will necessarily require a longer period, when we consider that the whole physical force of the body has reached that stage in its activity, in this peculiar or
2193-1 Page 3
individual experience, where it requires a longer period to not only build for sustaining and resuscitating, but the extraordinary necessity of absorption; and to have operative measures in the very kind and character would be the destruction of the forces, or the abilities of the body itself; hence the absorption measures will be and are - as we find - the only means, and these we would follow then rather closely:
9. First, the matter of the diet should be the main consideration for at least the first fourteen days; beginning all of this, then, at once - this should be the character of diet:
10. Mornings - citrous fruits; oranges, grapefruit, lemons. These would be altered as to the quantity taken. With this may be taken any cereal drink, as Ovaltine or kindred preparations. There may be taken with this at times a little wheaten cakes, or oaten cakes, or the rice cakes, with a little honey.
11. Noons - preferably a great deal of green vegetables; none cooked; with the oil that makes same palatable, with a great deal of salines, that we may enliven the activities for the blood stream - see?
12. Evenings - rather those foods that will make for blood building; as the well cooked vegetables, with fish or all sea foods, liver, mutton, and the like.
13. Be sure that the eliminations for the alimentary canal are kept fully active, with at least two movements of the bowel every day.
14. During this same period we would take the electrically driven vibration from the end of the spine to the base of the head, see, directly to the body itself, with the body lying prone. Preferably this should be given just before retiring of evenings, and particular reference should be given in such application to the 3rd and 4th cervical area, and the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th dorsal area, but the whole length of the spine, from the end of the spine to the head, from the head to the end of the spine should be gone over thoroughly.
15. After fourteen days, then we will change the whole ministrations for the system, for we will find changes will be felt. While there may be felt the tendency of a tickling or prickly sensation through some of the circulatory forces to the head, especially to the side of the head and to the neck, this will be rather the creating of eliminations for the body.
16. On the fifteenth day of the administrations we would begin to apply (with these same applications, following up
2193-1 Page 4
all the diet) the heated saturated solution of Epsom salts over the whole cervical area, from the base of the head to the first of the dorsal centers; then also from the 1st dorsal to the 10th dorsal, or through the solar plexus center area.
17. Following the Epsom salts applications (which would be put on every other day), we would apply the violet ray; not the ultra-violet, but the violet ray, direct to the body. We would begin then once a week to apply that also to the sides of the head, through the temple, and once a week - on the same period when it is applied to the temple (always moving towards the cervical area with the application) - use the double eye applicator of the violet ray; and we will begin then to have some discharge from the eye itself, as a mucous - not heavy, not as more than a thick gluten, or water. This should be sponged off (when this comes, which will be of morning) with an antiseptic that is mild to the eye, see?
18. When this begins (the discharge from the eye), we would begin also to take internally very small quantities one day of Glyco-Thymoline (3 to 5 drops), the next day of Atomidine (from 5 to 6 drops).
19. Then, when this has been carried to the twenty-eighth day, or twenty-ninth day, we would give further instructions. Do this.
20. This all may be done at home; it is not necessary to go to a physician for any of it.
21. The treatments with the electrically driven vibrator should last for at least fifteen to twenty minutes by the clock, and with treatments being given all the time.
22. When we begin with the application of the saturated solution of Epsom salts, we would give these for twenty to thirty minutes; that is, let these pads stay on for that length of time.
23. The application of the violet ray following the packs of salts, when the skin has been opened, or the pores, and the centers along the cerebrospinal system are ready for response to this low form of electrical vibration, will enliven not only the nerve centers of the cerebrospinal and sympathetic system, but also cleansing the blood stream itself. This we would give from five to fifteen minutes along the cerebrospinal system; that is, over those areas that have been covered with the Epsom salts, see? that is, from the base of brain to the first dorsal area, then from the first dorsal area to the 10th dorsal, going towards the central portion of the body. The application to the side of head and to the eye would be divided between two and a half
2193-1 Page 5
minutes; for the side of the head - each temple, you see, would be included in the two and a half minutes for both sides, then to the eyes with the double eye applicator for two and a half minutes.
24. Ready for questions.
25. (Q) What quantity of citrous fruit should be taken of mornings, of the grapefruit, oranges or lemons? (A) One or two oranges, a half or a whole grapefruit, with the lemon mixed with either of these - preferably the juice pressed out and sipped with same.
26. (Q) Should any laxatives be taken to keep the bowels moving twice daily? (A) With the balancing of the diet in this manner, it may be found necessary to take occasionally small doses of Enos' [Eno] salts. This is preferable, for it is of the fruit nature and does not drain the system nor produce too much distress in the system, see?
27. (Q) What dosage of Enos [Eno] Salts? (A) Two teaspoonsful, level full. It may be found, after having taken the diet for some few days, that only one teaspoonful would be necessary, see - this taken preferably, when it is found that the bowels have not moved regularly, before the meal or before breakfast - see?
28. (Q) Any mental advice for the body? (A) We would occasionally, whenever convenient, keep close in touch with those that may aid in assisting the body to know more of the spiritual manifestations of those very sources or forces through which the information is being given. Talk often, then, with the director and the writer.
29. (Q) Should the violet ray and vibrator just be applied to the spine? (A) Just be applied to the spine, from the solar plexus center to the 1st dorsal; from the 1st cervical to the 1st dorsal. See, one runs one way and one runs the other. In this first application, we will find these will be applied to the cerebrospinal system, rather than to the frontal portions of the body. We will find that there will be considerable change by the twenty-eighth day for the betterments of the body. The first few days there may be produced a feeling of some little irritation, but this will gradually disappear with the eliminations being set up. Because there becomes some little discharge, do not become worried; for this would be nature's way of adjusting itself. Through those that we have given, keep the body mentally in accord with those things that may aid in giving the spiritual healing that brings hope and cheer, in knowing
2193-1 Page 6
that all is in Him, He IS the life, the light, and that all healing comes through those applications of His power that is manifested in the various elements and forces that take hold upon the system to enliven it and to make it at an at-oneness with Him, who gave Himself as the ransom for many.
