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, [3096].
3. As we find, there are conditions which prevent the better physical functioning of the body.
4. These have to do with the digestive and the assimilating system, and the lack of those vital forces necessary for the proper assimilation in the body.
5. Then, these are the conditions as we find them with this body, [3096] we are speaking of, present in this room:
6. First, in the blood supply - this indicates the lack of the proper digestive fluids in the system, the unbalancing of the alkaline and the acid forces - as indicated in the stomach and duodenum itself.
7. Thus the necessity for almost all predigested or liquid foods in the body.
8. We find that these conditions arise from that which existed in some time back, when - as combined with the lack of vital energies - these was a subluxation produced in the area of the 7th, 6th, and 8th dorsals. This hindered in the impulse to the supplying forces that aid the liver, the pancreas, and the glands in the portion of the stomach itself close in the area of the duodenum and the pylorus, such that there began the leakage - as it were - of the acid produced.
9. This became gradually an irritation that formed gases in the intestinal tract itself; thus forming pockets of lymph in the jejunum that became very aggravating to the system.
10. The applications made for corrections have still not corrected those tendencies that arise from those subluxations existing in the spinal system. These are a
3096-1 Page 2
part of the sympathetic and a part of the cerebrospinal nerve supply.
11. As we find, this condition may be materially aided, but will require a long and patient and persistent use of the corrective measures; not only to correct that which is the first cause of the digression in the body, but to correct also those effects which have been produced.
12. In making the applications, we find that in the beginning there will be periods when there is apparently greater irritation. But if these are kept, there should be gradually the corrections and the body enabled to make near normal reactions - within a period of eight to fourteen months.
13. The reaction of these to nerve forces, to other organs of the body:
14. In many respects the body has reacted very well, considering the disturbing forces, and has taken care. Yet the activities become very disturbing at times, when there is the using up of the energies of the body.
15. In making corrections:
16. First we would give that there be the beginning with the GENTLE osteopathic relaxations, especially in those areas indicated - 6t, 7th and 8th dorsal. To be sure, these corrections cannot all be made at once. Hence it will be necessary to coordinate the upper portion of the cervical AND the upper dorsal areas with the corrections made in the lower dorsal area. Relax rather than correct, in the first eight to ten treatments given. The lumbar area should also be coordinated, every second or third time.
17. After the osteopathic corrections have been started (not before), we would begin with ACIGEST - and this should not be until after the fifth or six treatment. Take half a teaspoonful of the ACIGEST stirred in a glass of raw milk. This in the beginning would be taken only three times a week. After the tenth or fifteenth, or tenth or twelfth adjustment osteopathically, increase the ACIGEST to five doses each week.
18. Throughout the period, when the Acigest is begun, take also an intestinal antiseptic; one to three drops of Glyco-Thymoline in water after the heavier meal of the day.
19. Do not attempt to take sold foods until the greater part of the corrections have been made.
20. Do these, and we will find bettered conditions for this body.
21. The mental and spiritual attitude must be taken into consideration.
22. Here we find, at times, anxieties. Know, creative
3096-1 Page 3
forces are eternal. The correction of the body-forces comes in cycles. And there are those corrections ever being attempted in a physical body. Add those material, mental and spiritual elements, and we may renew a body in any given period.
23. Then, keep creative in thought and purpose. Expect something, but do something about it. Use those abilities in the creative forces for helping others.
24. For, as ye do to thy fellow man, ye are treating thy God.
25. Ready for questions.
26. (Q) Is my condition of a cancerous nature? (A) Decidedly not!
27. (Q) Is my prostate gland getting enlarged? if so, how may it be remedied? (A) These should gradually disappear as these corrections are made in the dorsal area as given, coordinating the lumbar area with same, creating a balance in the activities through the body.
28. (Q) Which osteopath would you recommend? (A) Any one of those in sympathy with the suggestions made here.
29. (Q) What causes the abundant regurgitation of mucous from my stomach, and how may this condition be corrected? (A) As indicated, from the first of the subluxations that exist these have relaxed the pylorus. This in reaction from the duodenum causes a spasmodic reaction to the cardiac portion. Thus we have those regurgitations at times not only from the duodenum but from the stomach itself proper, though these are not as bad now as they have been.
30. (Q) Is my liver the seat of the trouble? (A) Rather the glandular force that has cut off the supply of those glands that secrete the acids in the body.
31. (Q) What can be done to enable me to retain solid food? (A) This has been indicated here, as to how. First, there must be the correction of the causes, gradually, with correcting of the effects that have been produced by same. Be persistent, be consistent, be prayerful, be helpful. We will find help.
32. We are through for the present. Two copies to Self (one for the osteopath - If you do not already have an osteopath who will follow these suggestions, we would refer you to either of these: Dr. Geo. N., Coulter, 18 East 41st St., NYC. Dr. T. R. McLean, Popham Hall, Scarsdale, N.Y. Both of these men have had
3096-1 Page 4
considerable experience with following directions through the Readings. Let us know which one you choose, so we may ask him for a report on your case at the proper time). Copy to Ass'n file (ACIGEST is manufactured and distributed by the Colloidal Health Products Corp., Atten. A. A. Nichosen, Greenvale, Long Island, N.Y. It sells for a $1 a bottle. According to the Readings, it is the best way of assimilating hydrochloric acid.) )
