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, [3412].
3. As we find, in considering that which may be helpful physically for this body, there also must be considered the physical and mental attitude of the body. While there are disturbances of a pathological nature, there are also consciousnesses of a psychological nature that are not always in keeping with the best physical, mental and spiritual usages of the body.
4. If one only attempts to keep the physical body in shape for purely emotional and physical activities for the gratification of the physical body, it is like asking - though ye gain the whole world and lose your soul - what has been the gain?
5. Thus the consideration should first be for good health, sure - that the entity may be a better channel for the glorifying of God, not for the glorifying or honoring of [3412].
6. In the physical forces we find these conditions as the beginning of disturbances, such that the mental attitude has become almost in that state of feeling that the body has symptoms of what it hears disturbs others.
7. Then we might term the body one often given to psychological symptoms.
8. There are disturbances in the circulation - of the heart, the liver and the kidneys. These are partially nerve reflexes. Not just imaginative, but they have been imagined until disturbances have been produced - as a quickening of the pulsation, a slowing of the activity of liver, and thus
3412-1 Page 2
a slow circulation and a quickening of activity of the kidneys - thus a bladder and a kidney irritation at times.
9. Here we find that the addition of Coca-Cola, taken in plain water, not carbonated water, would be as helpful for the body as anything that could be taken to aid in the activity of kidneys and bladder. A glass of this about twice each day would be sufficient, taken in plain water - with ice, if this is preferable. This will also aid in the general circulation.
10. About once a week we would take hydrotherapy treatments, including a Fume Bath - not raising the temperature of the Cabinet too high with dry heat but rather the liquefying or steaming - putting about a tablespoonful of witchhazel in a pint of water and this almost boiling even before the body enters the Cabinet, so that the steam from this settles over the body.
11. Afterward, rub off thoroughly and then massage from the throat or head all the way to the toes with this combination of oils: Olive Oil.....................2 ounces, Peanut Oil....................2 ounces, Lanolin (liquefied).........1/4 ounce.
12. Be precautious as to diet. Keep away from too much mixture of starches. Do not eat raw apples. Do not take orange juice without lemon or lime juice in same, and this will keep down those tendencies for the formations of gas through the alimentary canal.
13. Eat only fish, fowl and lamb as meats. Plenty of raw vegetables, including watercress, grated carrots, lettuce and celery - with plenty of gelatin prepared with these.
14. These will bring better conditions for the body.
15. Ready for questions.
16. (Q) An injury to my head, neck and shoulders (auto accident) disturbs me greatly at times with eruptions on the neck and shoulders. What to do? (A) These conditions should gradually disappear if the Fume Baths are taken with the massages. Also the activity of the properties indicated for the slowing of the alimentary canal, the heart's activity, the kidneys, will change these conditions. Take the Coca-Cola as a medicine, not as a drink.
17. (Q) Injuries to knees and feet result in much pain at times. What can I do? (A) All of these conditions are included in that indicated. The healing properties in witchhazel are to be absorbed by the body.
3412-1 Page 3
Take such Fume Baths each week for two to three to four weeks. Then leave off for two weeks. Then take another series. This will change the conditions, but change the mental attitude also.
18. (Q) What should be done for receding gums and what to do? (A) Use Ipsab as a massage for same, and we will find these will be corrected as the body forces are corrected also.
19. (Q) Should a small blood tumor on the right forearm be removed? If so by what method? (A) We would not in the present. If the massages are taken properly this may be absorbed.
20. (Q) Are the glands of internal secretion functioning properly? Especially the thyroid. If not, what to do? (A) Not properly, else we would not have given those things that are to work with same. Do the things that have been outlined. But change the mental attitude of the body first, and we will find there will be more of a universal consciousness rather than a physical consciousness.
