1. EC: Now, we find the conditions in the body somewhat changed from those as we had here before. The general physical conditions throughout is somewhat improved. In some respects there is great improvement.
2. Now, these are conditions as we find them at the present time, irrespective of conditions as we had them before, [2667] we are speaking of, present in this room. First:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, we find this is very good, and the pressure in blood supply is near normal, though we have at times, from specific conditions, when the pressure rises above normal. Division of white and red blood supply divided normal for conditions. This we find is great deal better than in times back.
4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, we find there are centers that need adjustment, that the impinionment of supply in elimination and in distribution may become the normal condition again, for we have centers where, with the impinionment of branches of the nerve center, that certain portions of the body over the system gives the abundant supply of blood force and produce a condition of plethora. This condition we find is in the 4th cervical, which supplies the blood forces nutriment and the eliminations from the bronchial forces. Also in the 4th dorsal do we find the same condition acting in a reflex manner. This condition we find in the two specific places brings the condition as is produced in the bronchials. This produces spasmodic condition and increases the flow of blood at times until the difficult breathing is produced from this condition. In the forces then of nerve centers this affects sympathetically the sensory organism.
5. IN THE ORGANS OF THE BODY AS FUNCTIONING, brain forces very good. Above the normal in many respects, especially that given to the spiritual elements in any given condition, whether of the physical or of material.
6. In the organs of sensory system, we find that through nerve strain portions of these in their functioning at times become submerged and difficult for the organs to function normal. As this: Under strain of excitement difficult for
2667-2 Page 2
the vocal cords to function in co-ordination with the thinking or brain forces. The eye we find at times comes under same conditions; blurry or mist from overtaxing nerve forces from the 4th dorsal, the 4th cervical conditions.
7. In the throat and larynx, bronchials, there we find that the tissue that supplies nutriment to these find a fullness from the lack of nutriment being equally distributed in the portion to perform its normal function, and this condition is produced, as has been given.
8. In the digestive tract, this we find coming from the connection of pneumogastric nerve we find connections with the nerves in region as given, and there are times when the reflex forces show the digestive tract in the nerve center of same becomes involved, and we have a form of nervous digestion rather than indigestion. This we find is from the same conditions as given.
9. Through the rest of the system we find the organs functioning near normal at the present time.
10. To bring then the normal forces to this body at the present time, we would for specific conditions, when spasmodic conditions occur, take this:
11. Calcidin - 5 grain tablets, either dissolved and taken or taken in mouth and let dissolve, that the effect may be produced in bronchials and bring relief, only taking these when these conditions occur.
12. To correct the condition, have these done by exercise, either osteopathically or chiropractically, or through the deep massaging and correcting and adjusting of the cervical and dorsals, as given.
13. Do that. We will find we will bring great relief, and in the course of times bring the body to the normal conditions by consistent application of these, and persistent exercise accorded the body as given. Do not allow the body to become over fleshly, for the flow of blood needs to be kept near the normal pressure, that there may be no reaction to the condition as is set at present in the cervical and dorsal region.
14. Do that.
15. (Q) About a year ago this body had a small breaking out on the left wrist. He applied a solution which apparently healed up the place, but it left the skin red and very ugly looking. It becomes itchy at times. Please tell what he should do to heal up this place and remove the scars. (A) Apply this to these: Take Plantain root and stem (not leaves, [GD's note: In some instances the Plaintain leaves WERE recommended to be used. See 5161-1, for example.] but that bearing the seeds) three ounces. Preferably in the

green state. Place this in six ounces of water. Steep until this is reduced, until solution would be thick or until we have only two ounces of the solution. Strain and thicken to a soft paste by addition of oil of butterfat. That is, butter without salt that has had the water and milk removed by heat. Apply this once each day, massaging it into the parts showing the condition. This will remove this. Do that. [GD's note: Above Plaintain Salve extract was published in WRE 6/14/46.]
