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, [2946].
3. As we find, there are tendencies and inclinations which exist that may be corrected and thus prevent disturbances later on that might prove very disturbing to the body.
4. These, then, are conditions-physical as we find them with this body, [2946] we are speaking of, present in this room:
5. In the nerve and blood forces of the body we find the indication of the disturbances. With those activities which have been a part of the experience of the body, some tissue became involved; and with the unbalancing of the impulses between cerebrospinal and sympathetic nerve force, too great quantities of impulse of blood flow causes that tendency for lymph to accumulate.
6. Through the activities of mind as related to physical and body forces, much of these have become deteriorating in their reaction; that is, a preventative of those influences becoming more and more involved in the accumulating centers.
7. These as we find are indicated in the areas of the 9th and 10th dorsal centers, and thus involve those areas about the liver, the gall duct, as well as in the pelvic areas.
8. As we find, by changing the chemical reaction, as well as by stimulating those activities for better coordination between eliminating and digestive forces, there may be brought those results that will be most beneficial to the body.
9. In association with other inclinations and disturbances that form this continued reaction, tendencies are produced in the glandular force; as indicated to the mammary glands as well as to the thyroid and those glandular forces between
2946-1 Page 2
the duodenum and the activity in the pancrean area.
10. These, as given, are tendencies; they have not as yet formed accumulations that may not be - with the proper administrations - brought to coordinating activity between nerve forces, blood supply, eliminations and assimilations for the body.
11. In the functioning of organs as related to these, and those tendencies that arise from such disturbances, we find there are periods when these become much more aggravated than at others.
12. As given, as they ARE the effects of a chemical unbalance, there are certain foods that are detrimental to the body; such as the combinations that produce the effect of too much acidity for the body. These in the reactions cause irritation to the glandular forces from the thyroid as well as from the glandular reaction in the kidney area. These naturally find reflexes in the pressure existent in the 9th and 10th dorsal centers, and produce a heaviness through the lower abdominal area.
13. This at times - if there is overactivity - finds a reaction in the tiredness produced in lower limbs, and between shoulders at times.
14. The activity of the general system is very good.
15. Throat, bronchi, lungs and larynx, organically are very good. As indicated, those activities to the soft tissue of face - as in the antrum, as in portions in back of head, - at times under stress produce a heaviness rather through these areas.
16. Assimilations in the most part are very good, save when unbalanced by the out of the ordinary combinations.
17. Then, in making correction of these disturbances, - these would be the manners. But there is not to be left out that mental attitude in the meditations of seeing, feeling the body being corrected in such measures as to fill and fulfilla greater service for creative forces and influences. For, these are ever a contributory force to the physical body, from mental and spiritual attitudes. For, the body is one - body, mind, soul. And indeed the body is the temple of the living God. There He has promised to meet thee within thyself.
18. Yet there should be those activities from without, as the combinations of certain elements. In this body there should be taken, at least three times each week, at least half an ounce to an ounce of pure beet juice. This may include the leaves also. Possibly it may be preferable from the cooked beets, by themselves. But the beet juice should be extracted, or prepared as in a juicer; or, if this is not
2946-1 Page 3
practical for the body, then drink the juice in which the beets are prepared - the water in which they are boiled. But the pure juice is needed, not only the salts but those elements that are within; which will tend to alleviate these pressures and tendencies.
19. Also we would have a releasing mechanically of those tensions especially in the 9th and 10th dorsal, coordinating the upper dorsal and cervical area with same. These would be made just occasionally, once a week, until three or four are made; and then when the body is tired.
20. We refer to the osteopathic correction, you see, of the mechanical conditions as indicated.
21. Also we would use the low vibrations from the violet ray (hand machine, bulb applicator), when there is the tendency towards tiredness in the limbs, through the shoulders, and the heaviness through the abdominal area. Do not give it too strong, but for a minute and a half apply the bulb applicator along the spine - when ready to retire. It will make those centers corrected (by the mechanical means, or osteopathically) coordinate with the juices, especially of beets, in the body. We would use the violet ray two, three to four times a week; this dependent upon the feeling of the body, you see. Use just before retiring. The body may use the applicator itself or have it applied by one close to the body at the time, see?
22. Do these, and we will bring better conditions for this body, [2946].
23. Ready for questions.
24. (Q) Do you think I can avoid an operation by following these directions? (A) We are sure you may avoid an operation. For these will cause a balance to be created in the vibratory forces of the body, as well as in the elimination and assimilation through the system.
25. (Q) What particular or specific foods should be avoided? (A) Those combinations of starches with too great quantity of proteins.
26. (Q) Will that take care of the arthritis? (A) The beet juice itself will take care of that, as well as the other disturbance - if there are the corrections made in the cerebrospinal system for the "stepping up" of the vibratory centers or ganglia along the cerebrospinal system!
27. (Q) Could I correct my eye trouble with exercise? (A) This will eventually need a stimulating effect, or the glass, but in the present - with the correction of these centers AND the head and neck exercise, this may be kept near to normal.
2946-1 Page 4
Of morning before arising, when first sitting up, take the forward motion of head, bending down - you see - three times; back three times; to the left three, to the right three, and then a circular motion of the head - to the right, then to the left. And the same activity in the evening when ready to retire.
28. (Q) I have terrific trouble with menstrual cramps. (A) As indicated from the accumulations or tendencies for activities in the pelvic organs, with the correction in the 9th and 10th dorsal, with the vibrations from the violet ray, these will gradually disappear. When there are the periods of the cramp, use a heated salt pack (or salt heated and put in a bag or pad, you see) over the pubic center. This will allay the disturbance. And the osteopathic corrections will ELIMINATE the causes of these disturbances. Do these things, and we will bring better conditions for this body.
29. We are through for the present. Two copies to Self (one for osteopath) Copy to Ass'n file (If unable to obtain a vegetable juice extractor, the use of Patapar Paper in preparing the beets may be a solution - as it will preserve the juices. Patapar Paper is manufactured by the Paterson Parchment Paper Co., Bristol, Penna., and sells for 25 cents a dozen sheets. Sometimes it may be obtained from Kress, or the household dept. of a Dept. Store. A violet ray, hand machine, bulb applicator, may be obtained from most any drug or electrical supply house.) )
