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, [2551].
3. As we find, there is a complication of disturbances. Pathological and psychological conditions are also the involvements.
4. These will require the consideration in both these phases of reactions through the body. For, the glandular forces being much of the disturbance physically, as well as pathologically, there will be required considerations from both angles.
5. Then, these are disturbances as we find them with this body, [2551] we are speaking of:
6. The blood supply indicates hindrances in the balanced condition through the body, in an unusual manner. Through portions of the system there are conditions that indicate, from the very glandular forces, the setting up of spots or areas where the circulation is hindered through same.
7. These are especially indicated in the area about the lumbar axis and in the lacteal duct center. These involve, then, in the physical sense, the areas through which assimilations take place; as well as in the psychological sense the reaction from the centers through which the activity of the adrenals and the pineal makes for those reflexes through the activities of the body coordinating in the mental and in the physical reactions, from the impulses that arise.
8. The glands, then, become the sources from which these reflexes are produced that cause disturbances through the main portions of the body; as well as from the pathological
2551-1 Page 2
effects that have been produced by conditions from without the body.
9. In the nervous systems we find that, from the areas involved in which these deflections occur, the locomotory centers as well as reflexes to the sensory organisms become involved in the disturbances.
10. From this reflex we find there is not always the coordination between the cerebrospinal and the sympathetic or vegetative nerve systems; thus involving the keeping of an equal balance in the body.
11. As to the organs themselves - all become in one direction or another as an involvement, from the activities of that area about the lacteal duct, in the spleen and pancreas, in its reflexes to the system - and in the activities from the area in the lumbar axis to the activity to kidneys, the organs of the pelvis, as well as those reflexes through the pineal to the brain reflexes themselves.
12. In making for corrective measures - as we have indicated, both the psychological conditions and pathological reflexes must be considered.
13. Hence the needs for much to be done for the body at times; not so much in "humoring" the body as in the positive, constructive desirableness for proper coordination and activity.
14. Then, pathologically - we find that more may be accomplished through the Ultra-Violet Light (the Mercury Quartz Light rather than the Carbon); with a green screen between the Light and the body, to allay the activities of the deep penetrating rays to the body-forces themselves. These would be given at least three times each week, for at least fifteen minutes; with the Light forty inches (40" - not closer), and the green light at least eighteen inches (18") from the body. Do not use the Light on the skin, that is, without the deflection through the green light; for it would be detrimental otherwise. Apply these to that area especially from the upper dorsals to the end of the spine.
15. Follow this with the coordinating through the adjustments, through the general massage; especially on the areas above the ileum plexus, the lumbar axis, the 9th dorsal plexus - both upper and lower; in the 9th dorsal to the right (with the body lying prone, of course), and in the upper portion of the 9th to the left - for the deflection as occurs there.
16. After the use of the Light, followed by the massage and adjustments - then massage the body along the spine with Pure Peanut Oil.

17. These as we find will bring the bettered conditions, though it will require that there be changes made in the applications as conditions respond, or as there is the change in the functioning of the glandular system so as to need other corrective measures.
18. Make positive suggestions at all times.
19. Ready for questions.
20. (Q) What has caused this condition? (A) An upsetting of the glandular system, and the fear that arises from the deflected emotions through the adrenals and the pineal.
21. (Q) Why did it return after five years? (A) The mental and physical strain through which the body passed in a period some eighteen months ago.
22. (Q) Do the sexual glands have anything to do with her condition? (A) Rather they are INVOLVED, by the deflection from that in the lower 9th dorsal, from the lacteal duct and the lumbar center - and the ileum plexus, to be sure.
23. (Q) Is there any food she should not eat? (A) Fats should be mostly eliminated, but keep plenty of the vitamins - or foods that carry the vitamins - A, B-2 and H.
24. (Q) Have the many injections from various doctors benefited her? (A) There have been periods when some of the injections have helped, as the hormones for the blood force to act upon certain portions of the adrenal activity; but these have not been coordinated through the system.
25. (Q) Why does the skin peel off at least twice a day after an itchy spell? (A) From the deflected circulation through the sympathetic or the superficial circulation. Hence the reason WHY the Peanut Oil should be used along the spine, for its absorption with the activities bd the body from the Light rays.
26. (Q) Why does she usually itch after meals? (A) As just indicated, the organs of assimilation are deflected from their normal activity; calling upon the circulation for the active forces in the functionings of spleen, pancreas AND the gastric flow FOR the necessary foods' activities; thus indicating the glandular disturbances.
27. (Q) Why is she so tired all the time? (A) As indicated, the activities of the blood supply take away the vitality.
28. (Q) Why can't she use water on her skin? (A) This only adds to the disturbance produced in the
2551-1 Page 4
underskin, or the lower portion of the epidermis, by the nerve reflections from the areas indicated. She becomes, then, rather allergic to water. Hence the necessity for using oils.
29. (Q) Is there any particular occupation that might help her condition? (A) Positiveness to suggestions is the most needed in the beginning; that the individual apply self in helpfulness for others. Do these and we will bring better forces for this body.
30. (Q) Will anabolic foods carrying adrenal and pineal substance be helpful? (A) Be helpful. These will be helpful.
31. (Q) Should the screening be done through green glass or oil silk? (A) By plate glass, at least a quarter inch (1/4") thick. Apply the light from the upper dorsal to the end of the spine; for these are the areas through which greater deflection is needed in healing light forces.
