At Dr. F.A. Time of Reading Goerger's office, 3:50 to 4:05 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. Peoples Life Ins. Bldg., Rm. 608, 1343 H St., N.W., Washington, D.C. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [3823]; this we have had before.
2. There are many changes in the general physical forces of the body since last we had same here. True, not all that has been suggested or given has been carried out in the MANNER and WAY as has been indicated! Some instances there has been added to, or others there's been taken from; others some things taken for granted! Hence we have disturbances that are not as pleasing as they might be had the general conditions been adhered to in a more systematic way and manner. For, as we find, there is in the assimilating forces (that is, the activity of the secretions from the liver, the spleen, the pancreas, the gall ducts, the kidneys, the lacteals) that which produces, as it were, an effluvium in the blood supply that makes for quite a bit of irritation; especially in the extremities of the body. And at times in those centers where they are closer to the emunctory and lymph circulation (as in arms and elbow pits and groin and across portions of the body) there are blotches or splotches produced; for the circulation is impaired by same, for it carries within same - as it were - that of "tooth and nail" with the effluvium that lies between the circulatory forces of the red and white blood cells, preventing normalcy; or making a disorder in the effluvium of the blood that makes for proper coagulation as used energies are being eliminated from the system from the very activity of the organ themselves. See?
3. As we find, then, to make for the better or the nearer normal forces for this body [3823] we are speaking of:
4. First, we would give that there be kept most of that indicated for the diet, and in the MANNER as indicated!
3823-3 Page 2
Don't add to this nor take from it, nor do this and don't do the other! Follow those suggestions as to the alkalinity to be kept in the system. Don't overdo it, however, else we will find the necessity of adding to the system that which will aid in creating for the body the hydrochloric reaction that is necessary for the assimilation of foods in the system! For it's just as necessary as any other portion, or any other activity of the influences in the body itself - the hydrochlorics, see? that rise at the time of the digestive forces going to work in the system; that is, after food is taken, as there begins that motion of the stomach in the pylorus portion and throughout the duodenum. We will find the secretions begin to act from the glands there to produce in the churning of the foods that which produces the proper amount of the fluids from the activity of the organs as indicated with that secreted in the system itself to produce the manner in which ASSIMILATION - through the lacteal ducts and glands - may add that to the body for body, blood, nerve and system building. See? It is the storehouse or the chemical shop, or the activities - as has oft been indicated there - to keep these in the balance. As an outline, we would give:
5. Mornings, (this is not all to be taken, but as an outline) - citrus fruit juices. When orange juice is taken add lime or lemon juice to same; four parts orange juice to one part lime or lemon. When other citrus fruits are taken, as pineapple or grapefruit, they may be taken as they are from the fresh fruit. A little salt added to same is preferable to make for the activity of same. Yes, and we mean for this body, too - SALT - sodium chloride, see?
6. Whole wheat bread, toasted, browned, with butter. Coddled egg, only the yolk of same. A small piece of very crisp bacon if so desired. Any or all of these may be taken.
7. But when cereals are taken, DO NOT have citrus fruits at the same meal! This has been disregarded at times! Such a combination produces just what we are trying to prevent in the system!
8. When cereals are used, have either cracked wheat or whole wheat, or a combination of barley and wheat - as in Maltex, if these are desired; or Puffed Wheat, or Puffed Rice, or Puffed Corn - any of these. And these may be taken with certain characters of fresh fruits; as berries of any nature, even strawberries if so desired. (No, they won't cause any of the rash if they are taken PROPERLY!), or peaches. The sugar used should only be saccharin or honey.
3823-3 Page 3
A cereal drink may be had if so desired.
9. Noons - only raw fresh vegetables. ALL of these may be combined, but grate them - do not eat them so that they would make for that combination which often comes with not the proper mastication. Each time you take a mouthful, even if it's water, it should be chewed at least four to twenty times; whether's water or bread or a carrot, onion, cabbage or what! Each should be chewed so that there is the mastication, and that there is the opportunity for the flow of the gastric forces from the salivary glands well mixed with same. Then we will find that these will make for bettered conditions.
10. Evenings - vegetables that are cooked in their OWN juices, not combined with others - each cooked alone, then combined together afterward if so desired by the body, see? These may include any of the leafy vegetables or any of the bulbular vegetables, but cook them in their OWN juices! There may be taken the meats, if so desired by the body, or there may be added the proteins that come from the combination of other vegetables or combination of vegetable forces in the forms of certain character of pulse or grains. Any of these may be taken.
11. Then, for those conditions that exist already, with the general manipulations, we would stimulate the centers of each locomotory axis; as the 4th lumbar axis, the dorsal axis (in the 9th and 10th), the brachial and the 1st and 2nd cervical - those SPECIFIC, you see, so that the bursae and the activities of the glands from the bursae in each of these plexus centers coordinate with the gastric flow of the system itself.
12. And begin with the deep therapy. This doesn't mean to have high voltage in that, but the deep therapy of the electrical forces that will make for the coordinating of the centers. DO NOT USE the ionizing electrical forces, but the diathermy - or the deep therapy, but NOT at too high a voltage, and not longer than at least thirty to thirty-three or thirty-four minutes three times a week.
13. And these conditions will disappear, as will those reactions from the poor digestive forces and the breath and the eliminations, and those activities through the body will be nearer and nearer normal.
14. Ready for questions.
