Time of Reading ... Road, 10:45 to 11:05 A. M. Eastern War Time. ..., Michigan.
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, [3000].
3. Now as we find, there are those conditions rather of which the body should be warned. We find no great disturbance organically. Functionally, owing to the unbalancing in portions of the system, there are dis-eases - rather than disease - through the body.
4. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [3000] we are speaking of:
5. The blood supply has become rather heavy; slowed in circulation through portions of the body, owing to pressures created in parts of the system. While the blood pressure is not a great deal unbalanced, or in the metabolism of the system, the katabolism is disturbed; that is, there are variations in those activities, and at times the body feels much better up late than when it arises the next morning. There has not been that creating of the well-balanced equilibrium. Thus the body feels dull, as though portions of the body - as in hands, through arms, through limbs at times - not all at the same time, but at various times - were swollen, or full - and there is the impression as if there might be tendencies for something creeping within the flesh itself.
6. These are indications of how there is the unbalance in blood flow. Though the chemical forces of blood are very good, the count in the hemoglobin would be out of the ordinary.
7. This produces in the lymph and emunctory, or the superficial activities, a bad coordination between superficial and deeper circulation, as related to elimination of poisons from the system.

8. Thus at times we will find the body will of evening or night apparently have hot and cold flushes, or periods when there is quite a variation in the temperature in parts of the body.
9. This also forms through the activity awake when at times the body easily forms a perspiration, and at others it is very hard to make the perspiratory system react in the body-forces.
10. The nerve forces of the body are very good. Yet there are those natural tendencies for stresses produced in the body-eliminations, and body coordination in same, as from the varied activities of the flow from the nerve centers along the spine, and those coordinating with the functioning organs through the body, to give some little distress through the nerve forces. Thus those reactions in same.
11. In the organs themselves, as indicated, there is very little disorder; though the functioning of these is at times cold, or slow, and at others the reactions cause distress, or the awareness that they are present and functioning in the body; as the heart, as the liver, as the kidneys, as the activities of same throughout the body.
12. As we find, in making corrections:
13. We would take, systematically, a series of hydrotherapy treatments. Each treatment should include a Dry Heat Bath followed by the Fumes with same of witchhazel; then the hot and cold shower, or needle shower; then the thorough rubdown - a massaging of the body with Pine Oil (preferably, for this body); giving special reference in the massage to those areas between the shoulders, back of the neck and across the small of the back.
14. Take these treatments about twice or three times a week until six or eight are taken.
15. Then leave them off about two weeks.
16. Have them, then, once a week until six or eight more are taken.
17. And we should bring much better conditions for this body.
18. In the matter of the diet, the exercise, and the mental attitude towards the conditions about the body - all of these, to be sure, have their effect upon the physical forces; as well as the physical forces having their effect upon the mental forces - or the outlook of the body upon the relationships that exist between others, as well as the general welfare of the whole purposes of the body, as well as of a peoples or nation.
19. Keep rather a normal diet, but tending towards those foods of the eliminating character; such as plenty of
3000-1 Page 3
vegetables and fruits and not too much of meats of any kind, though meat may be taken occasionally. Use fish, fowl or lamb in preference to the other characters of meats. Though these are strong for the body at times - that is, fish, fowl and lamb - these taken in moderation will be the better. But the principal part of the diet should be vegetables and fruits, and the leafy vegetables in preference to the pod variety.
20. Activities in the open are well for the body. But take some regular exercise, a few minutes morning and evening of the regular setting-up exercise will be most beneficial for the body. Of morning exercise the upper part of the body, and of evening exercise preferably from the waist down. These will be found to be most helpful.
21. In the mental attitude - keep creative in purpose, in design, in hopes and in activity. Know that the contribution of self to the whole, or to the Creative Forces, has its part to perform. Keep in that way of making all with whom you come in contact BETTER for having met you. Make EVERYONE glad to see you, rather than sorry you have come.
22. Do thee, and we will find better conditions.
23. Ready for questions.
24. (Q) What causes the fits of drowsiness? (A) This is from the poor circulation, or unbalanced circulation, as indicated.
25. (Q) Am I in others ways as well as can be expected of a woman of 55, or is the exhaustion abnormal? (A) As indicated, the body is very good. There are rather the functional disorders than organic disorders of any serious nature; that will be materially aided by the suggested treatments, if using the diet and exercise given. Do that.
