Time of Reading 10:25 to 10:45 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Virginia.
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, we have the body here, [2445].
3. Now as we find, there are conditions that prevent the best physical functionings.
4. These have become localized, or there are such conditions that there are specific hindrances in the activities of the body; having primarily to do - in their effects with the sensory system, especially as to the vision.
5. We find that these have been rather of a gradual development; or, being produced by a disturbed circulation, have allowed accumulations, or those tendencies for refuse forces not to be eliminated.
6. Thus the accumulations form that have hindered, and are gradually hindering, the vision.
7. These accumulations will be better assimilated and eliminated through absorption, than by allowing them to grow to such an extent as to require operative measures for the removal of same.
8. As there have been and are specific centers from which this portion of the system receives the impulses for activity, especially as related TO eliminations, we find that such stimulation as to cause a better circulation to be established would be the way or means to first approach this disturbance at this time.
9. To be sure, other measures will be required, but these will be the FIRST approach.
10. The GENERAL conditions of the body in the main are very good. With such conditions, there are naturally those sympathetic reactions that cause some disorders to the other organs of the body - as the establishing of better
2445-1 Page 2
eliminations through the lower hepatic circulation, or through the kidneys.
11. As we find, there exists in the cerebrospinal system impingements in the segments. The removal of these pressures, as combined with the correcting of the unbalanced chemical reactions in the assimilating system, will materially aid the general conditions; thus PREPARING the body for a better circulation.
12. Hence, this portion of the organism's activity is taken into consideration also.
13. Thus, we would have these corrections made osteopathically, by one versed in the relationships of the general system, especially the sensory system; or an osteopath acquainted with the system in SPECIFIC activity to eyes, ears, AND the organs as relate to general eliminations.
14. These segments that need the particular attention are from the 4th dorsal to the 1st cervical; and we find that at least some ten to twelve such adjustments should be given. THEN coordinate also the lower portion of the 9th dorsal, the 10th and 11th dorsal, and lumbar axis, WITH the adjustments which should have been made by then in the upper portion of the system.
15. After there have been some fifteen such adjustments altogether, we would rest from these for a period of five to ten days.
16. THEN (not before), begin with the use of the Violet Ray; this to be applied with the bulb applicator, every other day, from the 9th dorsal upward to the lower portion of the base of the brain. This should extend around the side of the face - both sides, you see, the two-way actions from the base of the brain. Use this for at least a minute and a half. THEN use the two-way eye applicator for one-half a minute - this not oftener than every other treatment generally with the bulb applicator, you see.
17. After a dozen or more of the Violet Ray treatments have been taken - then have another course of the adjustments osteopathically; with special reference to the upper dorsals and through the cervical area - and THIS time more to the vegetative nerve plexus.
18. The frequency of these treatments should be judged more by the one making the adjustments; but in the first series, at least twice each week.
19. As to the diets, and the general attitude of the body as related to the general conditions:
20. The diet should be rather of those things minus meats; that is, vegetables, fruits and the like. Fish and fowl may
2445-1 Page 3
be taken, but never any fried foods.
21. Do these; and throughout the applications, let the attitudes be - as the changes are wrought - not merely for material gains [See 2445-1, Par. R2] but that self may be useful as a channel of helpfulness to others; bringing hopefulness - as is found in the belief in and practice of - Christ's principles.
22. Ready for questions.
23. (Q) Are the eliminations through the alimentary canal proper? (A) If they had been, we wouldn't have indicated the change in diets and in stimulation for better eliminations through the kidneys - for these, of course, are a portion of the alimentary canal's reaction.
24. (Q) Can the eyesight be restored? (A) The vision will be improved. As to how much depends upon the sincerity of purpose and the reactions that come about, to be sure. But these applications indicated will restore the reactions to the optic nerve, and will absorb the growths that have been and are a part of the disturbance. It will necessarily be slow; it may require the second, third or fourth SERIES, but in each of these, the treatments should be in the order as indicated, see?
25. (Q) Any spiritual advice at this time? (A) Read that as given, and apply it; that is, make those reactions as an EXPECTANCY! For, all healing of EVERY nature MUST come from SPIRITUAL reaction! Applications that are made, mechanically or otherwise, are only to stimulate each action through the system to a unison with Creative Forces.
