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; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2899].
3. In giving the causes or sources of the disturbances, while we find there are pathological conditions that might become rather serious, the sources of these begin rather in the psychological reactions - and the suppressions that have been produced in the body.
4. These in turn affected, and do affect, the body-physical.
5. If there will be, then, definite applications AND the changing of attitudes, and the reverse of self-condemnation, we may bring normal conditions to this body.
6. On the other hand, if there is the continued self-depression, self-condemnation, it may become rather a serious physical disturbance.
7. These, then, are conditions as we find them with this body, [2899] we are speaking of:
8. Through the digestive forces of the body we find that the liver and the spleen activity have become torpid in their activity, through suppression AND condemnation in same. Hence certain characters of foods become very hard of digestion. Little of fats will digest at all. And the suppressions cause the duct, that controls the activity of the emotions, to produce a drawing, and aching - from the upper portion of the chest, on the right side, to the gall duct and even to the caecum area; and the inability for the full use at times even of the arm on that side.
9. The lack of interest in activities becomes the effect of the suppressions throughout the body.
10. All of the emotions of the body are suppressed. Thus there is a form of glandular reaction; and irregularity in the Periods. And these all combined are those disturbances
2899-1 Page 2
as we find them with this body.
11. In making applications for helpful forces - first, do not condemn self. For, He condemns not. Only as self condemns self does this bring, for this body, those toxic reactions of such a nature as to make the body less companionable in the home, less effective in its activities and associations with others.
12. DO enter more into a helpfulness in EVERY manner to others.
13. DO have those corrections made, osteopathically; at least eight to ten to twelve, and even in the beginning work toward setting up a better drainage. Do not in the first attempt to drain the gall duct, but do in the latter portions of the treatments drain the gall duct osteopathically.
14. Do begin with the diets that carry more of iodine in the body.
15. Do take occasionally, at least three days a week, two drops of Atomidine in half a glass of water before the morning meal.
16. Do take the study of the spiritual forces, and apply self in helpful forces to others.
17. Do these, and we will bring bettered conditions for the body.
18. This is an outline as to diet, though this, to be sure, is not all that would be taken - rather as a sample:
19. Mornings - toast, or milk toast, dry toast or milk toast, or change about from day to day with eggs or cereals, but not all at once, see? Some fruit, or citrus fruit - as grapefruit juice, oranges and the like, a little very crisp bacon once or twice a week would be well.
20. Noons - one or two raw vegetables; carrots, celery and lettuce. These should be a part of the diet each day, some one or more of these; with vegetable soups or broths of various kinds. All or any of these.
21. Evenings - vegetables; not too much of the dried beans or the like, and not fat meats cooked with same. Cabbage, red as well as the green. Yams, but not too much of white potatoes, though occasionally these may be taken.
22. Plenty of stewed fruits; as prunes or peaches, apples or the like.
23. Do these, as we find, and with the other or general conditions, we will make for bettered forces for this body.
24. Ready for questions.
25. (Q) Can I bear any more children; if so, would you advise me to do so? (A) Not until those corrections have been made, and then it
2899-1 Page 3
will be seen that this may be possible, if so desired.
26. (Q) Are my teeth bad? (A) Natural suppression, and - as indicated from properties given - these are soft, and need some local attention. As we find, unless these cause immediate disturbance, it would be better to have same fixed or attended to after at least two or three weeks of the periods of taking the Atomidine.
27. (Q) What causes large pimples or skin most of the time? (A) Poor eliminations, as will be particularly aided when drainages are set up better and there are better eliminations by the draining the gall duct.
28. (Q) Why excess fat on stomach, no fat on any other part of body? (A) This is partly a prenatal condition, but with those corrections these should disappear to a great extent, and especially when more activity is taken in getting about or going places more.
29. (Q) What causes extreme tiredness and nervousness at all times and bad headaches at times? (A) Liver condition - toxic forces through the body.
30. (Q) Any spiritual advice? (A) Read especially the 14th, 15th, 16th and 17th of John, and apply it as being said to self. Know there are those influences, "As ye would that others should do to you, do ye even so to them," as He indicates in those admonitions outlined. Do keep that attitude of helpfulness, for as ye do it unto others, ye do it unto thy Maker. Look not upon things as past, but NOW. For now there are the opportunities, not only for the help in the home but in the associations with others.
