Time of Reading 10:40 to 10:55 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. New York City.
1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body. You will answer the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes.
3. As we find, there is rather the complication of disturbances that prevent the better normal functioning. These have to do with conditions which have existed for some time as related to the chemical reactions in the system; especially as related to the supply of nerve and blood forces in the lower extremities, and the hindrances that have combined with this general condition to produce same.
4. Also we have those conditions as related to the digestive forces, or the activity of the gall duct and its reaction upon the digestive system and the assimilations through the system.
5. To be sure, this is contributed to in the present by the lack of being able to masticate thoroughly; and thus the lack of the activity of the salivary glands and THEIR relation to the digestive forces of the system.
6. Also those conditions complicate the disturbances in the nervous system, as to the eyes, and the general strain upon same.
7. As we find, in making administrations for helpful influences, all of these conditions are to be taken into consideration.
8. First, we would have the correct fitting of glasses for the body.
9. After each meal we would take a quarter teaspoonful of Alcaroid, first dissolved in a little water and then the glass filled with water. Do this after each meal for at least a week. then leave it off for a like period. then repeat the whole procedure throughout the period of the corrective measures which we will indicate, until there is a better gastric flow and less acidity through the system. Or

take it five days and then leave off five, and so on.
10. Under the direction of a hydrotherapist such as Backman, we would have those corrections in the WHOLE of the cerebrospinal system, with special reference to the RELAXING of the body with the hot water and then the correction made, and then the application of the hot and cold packs along the cerebrospinal system; with special reference being given to the sacral and the lumbar axis, coordinating the rest of the cerebrospinal system with those corrections made.
11. In the diet - add the food values that carry an extra quantity of thymine; such as in plenty of whole wheat cracked cereal - that is well cooked in a double boiler, and eaten with milk rather than cream. If any sweetening, use honey rather than cane sugar. Also have plenty of steel cut oats.
12. Take beef juice two or three times each day, but sipped very slowly - at least a tablespoonful three times each day, but take ten minutes or more to sip that quantity; eating with same a whole wheat wafer. This does not mean beef broths or soups, but the pure beef juice itself.
13. Eat plenty of fresh vegetables, both raw and cooked.
14. And for the eliminations - let those corrections as indicated in the cerebrospinal system aid; assisting same when necessary with colonics or high enemas.
15. These should bring the better conditions for this body, [2394].
16. Ready for questions.
17. (Q) How is my blood pressure? (A) This varies. The effect is rather from eyes then from heart.
18. (Q) What causes pain in region of liver in the mornings? (A) As indicated, the lack of the proper activity in the eliminating or excretory functioning of the liver.
19. (Q) May anything be done to strengthen my legs and feet which have always been weak? (A) As indicated, the corrections that will allow better circulation; and the addition to the system of those properties as will build nerve energy and blood forces through the system.
20. (Q) Are there adhesions from having feet strapped so many times, due to frequent falling? (A) Not adhesions so much. Rather the disturbances as indicated; though this has contributed to making the poor circulation - while the real cause has existed in the lumbar and sacral areas.
21. (Q) Considering my physical condition, what kind of work or occupation would be best for me?

(A) The care of the very young, or companion with those of elderly years.
