1. GC: You will answer the questions regarding this body as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2803]; this we have had before.
3. Ready for questions.
4. (Q) Please outline osteopathic treatments which Dr. Shellenberger in Baltimore could give to be of benefit to me in the future? (A) These should be rather light treatments in the main; that is, not attempting to make particular adjustments save as indicated by the position of segments; especially those in the coccyx and in the lower lumbar areas. As indicated, the coccyx area will need some adjustments. Through the lumbar, through the whole dorsal area there needs to be not a stimulating but an allowing of those centers to become coordinant, through which coordination is kept between sympathetic and cerebrospinal nervous system. Thus it would be a gentle relaxing treatment, more massage than using the structural portions as leverage, though a thorough massage.
5. (Q) How often would it be advisable to get an osteopathic treatment? (A) Have these about one a week at least until there is perfect coordination, especially in reflexes from those disturbances indicated in the coccyx area. A little later, when there is conception,* have these more often - until the body is adjusted in its proper relationships; keeping especially the organs of the pelvis in their correct relative positions by stimulating activity in the lumbar-sacral and the lower dorsals - or 11th and 12th dorsal. * [GD's note: EC apparently foresaw conception to take place ten days later, for baby boy, [5398], was born

6. (Q) Should the Gold and Soda Solution be continued, if so, for how long? (A) This should be taken rather in periods. As there has been the lack of the reactions to the organs of the pelvis especially as related to the regenerative organs, this will be helpful to the body. But take it now only five days in succession out of each month. This should preferably come between the periods, not at the periods but five days in succession beginning about six to eight days after the ceasing of the flow.
7. (Q) How can I strengthen my back? (A) Haven't we been trying to tell you how to do it here, by the movements made by the osteopath?
8. (Q) Give advice as to a form of exercise to keep my body functioning in the best manner. (A) For this body, after there have been three or four series of treatments - that is, three or four adjustments, when the body is correct in its position - take this exercise each evening: place the feet against the wall and the hands on the floor, rotating the body; as in a swinging motion not too much, but two or three times either way. It isn't easy, it may indeed feel as if it is hurting the body at first, but if this is kept up, it will gradually strengthen and keep correct position of the organs. It would be well to do this also just before you go to have your treatments.
9. (Q) What has caused the terrific headaches beginning on the left side of my head and then giving the impression of a band tightening around my head causing me to feel faint? How may I overcome this situation? (A) Pressures in the coccyx areas.
10. (Q) Is this what is causing me to feel faint? (A) If you cut off the circulation, you certainly feel faint, and this is what has happened.
11. (Q) How may I rid my right foot and thumb of my left hand from a form of growth causing the area to be very sensitive? (A) Wash these occasionally in a solution of alum water. Take a piece of alum about the size of a partridge egg and rinse it in rather warm water, not hot but tepid, then rinse the hands in this allowing it to dry on them.
12. (Q) What has caused a weakness in my eyes? (A) Any pressure that comes from the coccyx area passes along the nerves and the supply of glandular forces affecting all of the sensory system. Here, the greater pressure is upon the adrenals and the 1st and 2nd dorsal and the 3rd cervical. Hence it would be well to relax these, as

indicated; not try to move the segments, see?
13. (Q) Would it be advisable to start a family soon? (A) This would be very good.
14. (Q) What causes a restlessness within me which my home doesn't fill, and through what channel could I divert it into a constructive purpose? (A) The spiritual self, the activities of the inner self, the urge to see things being done; and this would be one reason for having a family.
15. (Q) Should the Castor Oil Packs be continued and how often? (A) Whenever there is a feeling of a fullness through those areas, apply one - whether it is fifteen minutes or an hour - it will be helpful to the body. Keep the mental attitudes ever on this order: HERE AM I, LORD! I SEEK THY BIDDINGS. HELP ME TO CHOOSE TO DO AS THOU WOULD HAVE ME TO DO; EVER BEING A CHANNEL OF BLESSINGS TO OTHERS. MAY THE CHRIST-CONSCIOUSNESS BE EVER NEAR.
