Time of Reading 3:50 to 4:05 P. M. Eastern War Time. ..., Illinois.
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, [3661].
3. As we find, there are disturbances in the physical forces of this body.
4. These as to being helped will depend upon many factors. And if the body would find real help, these must be considered as a part of the whole condition. As there are scars from hindrances that have long existed in the body, from these deflections where pressures in the upper dorsal and through the cervical have prevented the proper circulation through bronchi and trachea, these have made for a thickening of the walls of tissue. Thus when there are changes of pressure in atmosphere, or when there are certain characters of foods taken, when there is the least cold or that which produces an unbalanced chemical condition in the body in the acids and alkalines, we find that there are recurrent spasmodic reactions through those areas where these scars or hindrances have been produced from this deflection. It is called an asthmatic condition, or asthma.
5. These are partially karmic. While the age in the present and the longstanding conditions are against the body-physical, we find that the body mentally and spiritually can - through the spiritual and mental attitude of the body - change these to a great measure.
6. For who healeth all thy diseases? Who giveth life? Who is patient and kind? Who giveth every good and perfect gift?
7. Faith, hope and then the use of those measures that contribute physically to keeping this equal balance, and those mechanical changes that will correct the condition,
3661-1 Page 2
will bring ease and help and eventually a complete cure - if these applications are carried forward coordinantly for the body.
8. Do the first things first. Make thy peace with thine own conscience and with thine own environ, and with those things that would hinder thee in any manner from being everything to thy neighbor, thy brother, thy friend, thy foe, that ye would have them be to thee if conditions were reversed.
9. Then make physical applications as follows:
10. Begin with taking internally only one drop of Atomidine each week, in half a glass of water before the morning meal. Take this at some regular period, once each week. This will cause irritation at first. Gradually increase the quantity - not the amount taken but the frequency. Don't begin to increase the number of drops taken during a week until the body has begun to adjust itself to the variations by its use. Whether the one drop is taken each week for two or three weeks will depend a great deal upon the mental and spiritual attitude of the body. Then gradually increase, taking at first two days in succession each week for two or three weeks, then three days in succession for two or three weeks.
11. Also we would have mechanical corrections made (preferably osteopathically) in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th dorsal and throughout the cervical areas, until there is perfect alignment in each segment of that portion of the spine that controls circulation through those areas of the body that are afflicted. These corrections we would have twice a week.
12. In the diet beware of too much sugar. Beware of any chocolate or of any sweets of that nature or of too much starches. Beware of cold or drafts, or of getting the feet wet.
13. Do keep good eliminations, even though it is necessary that a vegetable compound having a senna base, and a mineral salts occasionally to change these so that the body does not become too much of an addict to any one eliminant. Variations may be had by the use of compounds carrying other properties, but those with the senna base are preferable - and the ambrosia weed, or such as Simmons Liver Regulator.
14. Do these and we will gain better control - slowly; for the damage has been done. It must be rebuilded, spiritually, mentally and physically. It may not be done without cooperation in all phases of the experience of the body in these directions.
15. Ready for questions.
16. (Q) Why can't I sleep on my right side?
3661-1 Page 3
(A) Because of those conditions where the lesions draw upon a portion of the esophagus and stomach.
17. (Q) What vegetable should be stressed in the diet? (A) All of those that are of the leafy variety, cooked and raw.
18. (Q) What about chicken, eggs and milk? (A) All of these should be taken in moderation, not fried, however.
19. (Q) Any other advice? (A) Do all of that suggested. Do the first things first - the spiritual, the mental and the mechanical things first.
20. We are through with this reading. Two copies to Self (one for the Osteopath - Please let us have the name and address of the one you choose.)
