1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. We have had this before, you see. [No copy of earlier readings on file - see GD's note 4281-1, Par. R2]. Most conditions, the body is better than when we had it last. There is some disturbance with the functioning of some of the organs, especially, the intestinal digestive conditions and the lower hepatic circulation, see.
2. (Q) What causes the sand to form in her kidneys and pass out of the bladder? (A) Sediment from over activity of the lower hepatic circulation attempting to eliminate, changes the functioning of the emunctory forces in the kidneys. Change of water, of course, would change a great deal of this condition, though that would be a long drawn out condition, you see. It would best be changed by the diet and of correct diet for the body.
3. (Q) Should she take Nujol, a mineral oil? (A) Better were Usoline or Squibb's Russian Oil used than Nujol; then we would not have as much sediment from the paraffin base of Nujol.
4. (Q) Would olive oil or Cod Liver Oil be beneficial for her? (A) There is more nutriment for the intestinal tract from the olive oil and more nutriment to the digestive forces from the Cod Liver Oil. We would prefer the use of the Olive Oil as an intestinal food but do not so overcrowd the system as to cause the oil to become rancid in the system, see.
5. (Q) Is Holstein milk better for her than the milk from a Jersey cow? (A) Better from herd than from the individual cow for this body.
6. (Q) Can she eat stale Graham bread, and is it too heavy for her? (A) Not too heavy if the system is kept cleansed and not allowed to become impacted through the ascending colon, and the assimilations from such bread is very good for the body, - in moderation to be sure.
7. (Q) Can she eat any kind of molasses? She begs for the
4281-1 Page 2
old fashioned black molasses. (A) The old fashioned black molasses would be the better for the body but in very moderate quantities. We would not want fermentation of this character in this system, see.
8. (Q) Are rice and corn grits and corn bread too heavy for her? (A) Scalding hot, well packed meal or corn bread will be well for the body. Corn grits, not good. Rice, not too much sugar on it. Rather like that of puffed rice than the whole grain rice.
9. (Q) The mother of this child [4280] has been giving her an "Infant Culture" made by the Franco-American Ferment Company of New York City for the past two years. Please see and tell me if she needs this "Infant Culture" or any of the products put up by these people. Please see if they would benefit her in any way. (A) We would prefer the culture as prepared by the Kellogg Institute of Battle Creek, Michigan for culture of this individual than that of the Franco-American Institute. Prevent the fermentation that we are trying to get rid of, and the natural inclination of this system to build to be able to care for the condition throughout the body. There are some of their products that would be good and helpful, but Kellogg's would be better, as we have given, see.
10. (Q) Has this body any worms in her intestinal tract? (A) None that do not belong there at the present time, see.
11. (Q) Is sweet milk on her cereals beneficial for her, and should it be skimmed? (A) At times the richness of the unskimmed overloads the system, creating a ferment and sugar that is of a detriment. At times, when the lower intestinal tract is clear, the fats and carbons necessary are beneficial. When the balance is made when not too much sweets of a nature that hinders the functioning of the kidneys normally, when these are adjusted, use the milk, not unskimmed, but with it skimmed, for the body.
12. (Q) Have you anything further to say about this body? (A) Follow these as we have given.
