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, [3174].
3. As we find, while there are disturbing conditions, and some become very aggravating to the body at times, we find that little, if any, administration here will be of special benefit until there is more peace - or less of consternation within self.
4. True, help has come through those channels that to many would be questionable. But this has only enabled the body-mind of the entity, or individual to concentrate. For the ideals are far from being decisive in the mind of the body.
5. And all illness comes from sin. This everyone must take whether they like it or not; it comes from sin whether it be of body, of mind, or of soul, and these manifest in the earth.
6. For, who healeth all thy diseases? Uncle John, or God the Father? This must be determined in self. For, God is spirit and seeketh such to worship Him in spirit and in truth.
7. True, there are pathological conditions that are disturbed with this body. But do the first thing first. There should be a decision within self, first, as to what you believe. And know it must begin with the spiritual purposes of life.
8. Who is the author of life? Who is the Saviour of life? Who gave His life that ye might have life more abundant? What is light and life in the earth?
9. If you cannot answer these within yourself, you are far, far from knowing the way home.

10. For the soul seeks its own - in Him, who is the light, the life, the way.
11. And when there are rebellions of body or mind against such, is there any wonder that the atoms of the body cause high blood pressure or cause itching, or cause running sores, or cause a rash, or cause indigestion? For, all of these are but the rebellion of truth and light, error and correction in a physical body.
12. For thy body is indeed the Temple of the Living God. What have you dragged into this Temple?
13. Seek the Lord while He May be found and then apply just plan every day judgment to the disturbance of this body; and ye will find that ye will grow in grace, in knowledge, in understanding. And this means in all phases of the life. For, what is the first premise? KNOW THAT THE LORD THY GOD IS ONE LORD. That is of soul, of mind, and of body. When the soul, that image of the Creator is attuned to the divine, you are on the road to meeting thine own self, and all will be well with thee.
14. There have been those disturbances in the body. When you have found yourself and your relationships, and know your ideals in body, in mind, in the physical being, then purify the body with plain water - through hydrotherapy applications, yes. These should include colonic irrigations, cabinet sweats, and thorough massages. And we will find in these there will be gained the greater help and influence in the body.
15. Then, when you have given these suggestions full, full, attention we may aid the more.
16. (Q) What can be done to save the use of my left leg? (A) Keep the body fit and perfect the relationships of mind, body and soul to perfection. Is it not written, better that ye enter into the kingdom with the loss of hand or foot than that all shall be cast into hell-fire? This wasn't written for fun - it means what it says.
17. (Q) What are both the basic (or original) and also the contributing causes of my illness? (A) Read just what has been given. It's self!
18. (Q) What can be done to save my teeth? (A) Do as has been outlined here. Then we may give further instructions.
