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, [3062], present in this room.
3. Now as we find, there are conditions the corrections of which would make for much better physical reactions in the body.
4. These have to do, we find, rather with a complication of disturbances. While not acute at all times, there are conditions that become quite aggravating.
5. Then, these are conditions as we find them with this body, [3062] we are speaking of, present in this room:
6. First, in the blood supply there is indicated that ofttimes there has been quite an unbalancing in the chemical forces of the body. These have to do with the iodines, potash, soda and salts in their varied combinations in their activity through the system. And this has tended to leave lesions, or pressures, in varied portions of the body; more specifically along the area of the cerebrospinal system; or rather the drosses that have produced tendencies for a form of lesion, that - with the pressures made upon the cartilaginous centers where there are those combinations of impulses in nerve and blood supply to organs, and to portions of the locomotories - gives rather an acute disturbance.
7. In the main this leaves the body rather depleted - when taxed, either physically or mentally.
8. Hence the tiredness, the constant - not a deep headache, but a hurting through the eyes, head, heaviness in the head, the limbs feel as if leadened or weighted at times. And sluggishness occurs in the eliminations. Even at times
3062-1 Page 2
there is the quickening in the circulation between the heart and the liver and the lungs.
9. Not that these have become as yet parts of the constitutional disturbance, yet there are times - oft - when the body feels as if AWARE of the organs being active, or out of line with the mental and spiritual aspirations of the body.
10. The sources of anxiety, then, are in the nerve forces of the body; as well as there being the resultant effect or activity upon the action of the liver, the spleen, the pancreas, the kidneys at times. All of these become involved in their attempt to maintain an equilibrium throughout the body activities.
11. At times the abilities of the body in mind have had considerable to do with maintaining better influences, through the mind the control over circumstances, or even the feelings or emotions.
12. But, as the body interprets - and will find true, there is a physical body, a mental body, a spiritual body. While these are one - as in this body here - the activities in these various portions of the body might well be compared with a stalk of corn. The blade and the stalk and the various portions are a part of the whole, it is true; but the ear bears the fruit. So, in a physical body - there is the physical body with its attributes, its desires for replenishment from that assimilated through the system. There is the mind, that is the builder in same. When mental or physical food is taken, there must be the assimilation of same - to prepare it for replenishing or rebuilding the body.
13. These abilities, as indicated from the first, have so oft been unbalanced that the chemical reactions are not in proper accord, because of the lack of the activity of the thyroid glands, which are not impelled the more through all forms of activity of iodine in the system, which has been deficient.
14. This has left too much of the properties of potash to become as crystallizations; not as rocks, but forming in the lymph and emunctory circulation in the spinal centers or cords - not within the cord itself, but in the cartilaginous cushions - lesions; because of the lack of elimination of these salts.
15. These produce pressures upon the nerve system. The nerve system in response lacks in its ability to carry energies to the organs themselves. And, missing something in the sixty-eight times it is carried through the circulation in each minute, leaves something to be disposed

of.
16. Flushing the system mentally OR through an increasing of the coordination of eliminations with alimentary canal, perspiratory system or respiratory system, may take these away. But it has left something. And these have continued for some time to build in the body those disturbances. Not to that extent as yet that the condition my be termed other than functional in its nature.
17. Then, there is not organic deterioration of brain, of the lymph, or of the activity of same. There is the very low reaction through the activity of the thyroids, especially the central; and hence the condition that appears at times in throat, in larynx, or bronchi, but these are only reflexes. They find reaction, of course, sympathetically, to the heart activity - in the quickening that is brought at times; also the conditions in stomach and liver, where there are those periods of a dull, dark, brown taste arising in the mouth of mornings, as if not enough rest, though the body may have slept very well - yet not rested, not recuperated. As indicated, there is the lack of recuperation, lack of those elements - not in the mind, but in the physical forces, to supply through the mental as well as the material forces.
18. Hence, as the entity may ask, what about the spiritualizing of these? This is well, but this comes through direct reactions. As has been indicated, such are healed with fasting and prayer. But what does fasting and prayer mean here?
19. The supplying of those coordinations of the activities of the physical organs with the elements sufficient not only for producing the necessary forces, but for the carrying away and eliminating of the drosses that have already been created - and that find their reaction or manifestation in the depleted feeling that arises in the body forces.
20. Then, to meet these, as we find in the present:
21. We would begin at first to alkalize the system. Not to such an extent as to cause an overalkalinity through the activity of the digestive forces of the body, and thus throw entirely out of kelter the activity of the gastric flows in the hydrochloric and lactic fluids, in the glands either of the mouth, throat or stomach.
22. But take a heaping teaspoonful of Upjohn's Citrocarbonate in a full glass of water (but don't fill the glass too full before it is dissolved, or you will lose a great deal of it, for this is effervescing in its nature, of course), each morning before breakfast, for five days in succession. Then leave off.
3062-1 Page 4
23. Begin then and take one drop of Atomidine in half a glass of water each morning before breakfast for five days.
24. Then begin with the hydrotherapy treatments once each week. These should include a mild sweat - not the sweat as from sunshine, but rather the sweat that comes from a Fume Bath - not from Dry Heat. This may be prepared to take by self, or it may be taken in any good hydrotherapy place. Use a teaspoonful of Witchhazel in the pint of boiling water in the cabinet, so that the fumes may settle over the body - in the closed cabinet, to be sure.
25. Following such a Fume Bath or Sweat, have a good, thorough rubdown; not adjustments so much, but a massage along either side of the spine, more than upon the spine itself. For the massage, use an equal combination of Olive Oil and Peanut Oil. These will aid, through absorption, the elimination through alimentary canal and through the perspiratory and respiratory system, the accumulations - while the properties to be taken first are to set at advantage the eliminating channels - or the alimentary canal. Then the use of the super-quantity, or over-quantity of iodine (for that is what Atomidine is, though the poison is removed from the iodine), tends to purify or cleanse the glandular system, especially - for this body - the thyroid and the glands as related to assimilation, in the pancreas, the liver, and the spleen itself - toward digestion.
26. When these have been begun, tend to make the eliminations a little more active. Necessarily, there should be at least one full, high colonic irrigation, to cleanse the colon; so that all the poisons and accumulations there, where there has been this upsetting through the alimentary canal, will be eliminated from the body.
27. Let the laxatives be more from fruits and the kind of fruits and vegetables that would be taken in the diet.
28. Do include in the diet sea foods often, chicken, and especially the bony pieces; that we may add calcium, but not too much of potash. Hence for this particular body, not too much of some of the leafy vegetables. Do not include cabbage of any kind, unless it is the raw slaw; no turnips prepared in any manner; no rutabagas or things of such natures. Keep those out of the diet. Ham is also tabu, as also any red meat. No beef. Mutton may be taken occasionally if it is desired.
29. But do include often such as carrots, raw and cooked; lettuce and celery. Celery may be taken raw or cooked, or may be combined with other foods. Beans and lentils, all of these may be included, corn on the cob or the like; eggs - mostly the yolk of same and not the white, and NOT fried!
3062-1 Page 5
The egg yolk may be taken at times raw, if desired, in beer or wine. These will add to the gastric flows in the body forces.
30. Do these - being consistent and persistent. We will find better conditions for this body, [3062].
31. Ready for questions.
32. (Q) Any advice in dealing with the breakdown astrology predicts? (A) If you don't change, of course you would have the breakdown. But, as in all astrological aspects, these are TENDENCIES. Use your mind - it is the builder! and you will keep away from it!
33. (Q) Are there any latent psychic qualities concerned here? (A) Not in this particular disturbance. The physical conditions are disturbing the psychic abilities, as might be indicated from the formations along centers through which the kundaline forces would act, in meditation or the like.
34. (Q) Should vitamins be taken? (A) Take the vitamins in the foods, as indicated; this is much better than supplementing them - for this particular body, IF purified in the manner indicated.
35. (Q) What should be done for the ache in the legs and in the joints? (A) Read what we have just given! Do that outlined, and you'll get rid of those aches!
36. We are through with this Reading. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file (Atomidine is distributed by The Atomidine Company, 1326 St. Johns Place, Brooklyn, N.Y. It sells for $1 a bottle. The Fume Baths may be taken at any good physiotherapy place, if you'll insist that they use the Witchhazel fumes as indicated, or you may buy a Fume Gown or Cabinet - as from Montgomery, Ward & Company, or the like - and take the treatments at home; providing someone can give you the oil massage afterward.) )
