Time of Reading 11:30 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Virginia. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [4320] - this we have had before. Now, we find changes for the better through the physical forces of the body. While the body in its physical reactions may not be considered entirely out of danger, or dangerous reaction, yet - will there be the continued applications in many ways as have been outlined for the present, with their carrying forward of those forces in the activities as may be created in and through the superficial action of the circulatory system - these will materially aid in the eliminations being so balanced as to prevent distresses in any direction, or hardships upon the organs of the body as deal with the eliminations and the replenishing and rebuilding will be more IN accord with the resuscitation of life forces in the body.
2. We would keep the ash, with the electrical forces that may be applied - see? These should be applied, as given, after the ash is given, so that there is a more releasing of the oxygen for assimilation with the blood supplying forces.
3. We would continue with the inhalations, that CLARIFY and allow the forces in the lung, in the circulation, to be nearer to a normalcy for the system.
4. The addition of the electrical forces - that is, the ultra-violet - will prevent too much of the respiratory system's clogging, as to cause the temperature in the body, as well as the rubbing of the body with first the pure olive oil along the whole length of the spine, then rubbing same with RUB alcohol with half the quantity of Russian white oil with same. This will STRENGTHEN the muscular forces and prevent the body from losing strength.
5. We will also find that there must be mindful conditions as respecting the diet, that those things or conditions that cause too much heaviness or weight - either in stomach or intestines - are not taken. Things easily assimilated, but those that are very nourishing and blood building. Would be well either to use honey in honeycomb as one of the
4320-2 Page 2
conditions in the diet, or to use the Yogut [Yogurt?] as is prepared by the Battle Creek Institute for the cleansing of the colon. This combined WITH those, to be sure, of the charcoal and the other ingredients. Ready for questions.
6. (Q) He has soreness, dryness and stiffness of the throat sometimes. What causes it and what is the remedy? (A) This produced by the irritation in the cervical and upper dorsal region. This massaging with the oil and with the alcohol and oil will aid in the relief of this condition. This comes from the air and pressure in these regions. As is necessary to relieve those pressures as has been given in the whole of the cerebrospinal system, so will THIS aid in feeding to; for there are few things that are as food values that may be absorbed by the system as olive oil - see?
7. (Q) His fever at times runs high, but on an average it is much less than at first reading and goes down quicker. Is this as it should be? (A) As has been indicated, we will see this will be more uniform. It is as it should be, but this CONTROLLING of same will be more uniform when we apply those electrical forces to aid the superficial circulation, as will be the lessening of the tendencies of respiration of an improper nature - or night sweats. These will become more uniform when we apply the whole of those things given, see?
8. (Q) Should anything be done especially for these sweats? (A) Do these.
9. (Q) Is this to be expected and is it a discouraging symptom? (A) Not necessarily a discouraging symptom, for the body MUST eliminate - but there is so much that may be eliminated through the respiratory system, and when so much is eliminated the skin - or the circulation through the capillaries - becomes clogged with the poisons OF the system - see? Hence the coordinating of eliminations. When we open the respiratory system by the applying of electrical heat, especially on days when the pressure is greater and when the activities of the air on the whole system is more of an excess of pressure, these will relieve the conditions and aid in balancing the eliminations from the body. As is the warnings to keep the intestinal tract as near normal or cleansed as possible. While the taking of foods is necessary, and well that the body take all that can be assimilated, do not allow DROSSES to accumulate - either in the upper or the lower intestines, for POISONS are easily absorbed, and the bacilli or destructive tissue that gains headway in ANY direction makes for a weakening of the general system - see?
4320-2 Page 3
10. (Q) The doctors claim to find T.B. germ in the secretions. Has he intestinal T.B.? If not from intestines, where does this T.B. germ come from? (A) This comes from the refuse forces that are thrown off by the blood supply, in the balancing of the liver forces; so, in any secretions that are thrown off from the system, the system attempting to ELIMINATE from the system throws them off in ALL forms of eliminations in the system - see? Now, let's get the correct balance of conditions as produced and that do exist with this body as respecting these conditions: First we had in the lumbar, sacral and lower dorsal, a pressure that hindered the circulation - making a tendency for the slowing up of the blood supply ABOVE the diaphragm, see? (Now, we are giving this rather as history of the whole condition.) This caused a clogging first in the lungs, and a temperature, and a weakening of the whole system as related to the RESPIRATORY system and the respiratory circulation. This produced, then, that of a condition that allowed those germs (that are present in almost EVERY body) to take a hold. Then the life of the body itself of such a virile nature that these disengaged from the circulation are thrown into the circulation. These are eliminated, then, in the circulation through the offal of the eliminations or secretions from the body itself. The destructive blood cells are destroyed in the spleen and in the liver itself. This, then, formed first that of an over abundance or an excess of acid in the system. Then the accumulations through the intestinal system of such forces as are being eliminated. These multiply under certain conditions to a very great number. Hence we find an increased amount of gas, and increased amount through the secretions of the system in the numbers of the bacilli that may be seen there. These in their turn check the eliminations through this portion of the system. The body in attempting to create an equal balance then throws out through the RESPIRATORY system, or through the sweat glands, those conditions that will ELIMINATE these poisons from the system. Then we find the night sweats, and STILL a less weakening condition. Then we find, unless these conditions are checked, that next involved would be the kidneys - which at times now, across the small portion of the back, give an excess of the eliminations through this portion of the system. These are all involved, but with these being removed - with those conditions being created in the system that will destroy these - then we should eliminate these
4320-2 Page 4
conditions entirely from this body, [4320].
11. (Q) Gas and pain in lower intestines is much less, but not entirely gone. Is this satisfactory and to be expected? (A) It must be expected that this will not be relieved all at once, for the formations of gases are from acidity - or from indigestion combined WITH the drying of secretions, as are indicated by conditions in the throat that exist now, also BELOW the diaphragm as well as above the diaphragm; but with the keeping of those things in system that absorb this - as of the charcoal, as of an intestinal antiseptic, and those light forces that keep an even balance - it will gradually disappear entirely. Do not take foods that DO NOT digest!
12. (Q) Has three or four evacuations each day, once with blood streaks. What is cause and what remedy do you suggest? (A) These are being attended to in the applications that are being given. The system is attempting to eliminate. Just do not let these come to excess. The use of those things that have been outlined in their various forms and various ways will eliminate these conditions.
13. (Q) Can he eat meats now? (A) Do not eat meats. The juices of beef may be taken. Calves' liver, hog tripe, pig knuckle - any of those that give more of the activities that create that plasm within the blood supply itself - may be taken. Beware of meats. Wild GAME, or the sinew of same, would be less harmful - but not too much of this.
14. (Q) What kind of fruits? (A) Any of the citrus fruits, or NUTS - the OILS of nuts. These are all good.
15. (Q) Can you suggest a general diet, as for one day? (A) Mornings - we would have citrus fruits OR cereals, or stewed fruits - as of figs, prunes, rhubarb, and such as that. DO NOT combine these, however, with fruit juices - see? Either one or the other taken. Coddled egg, or any that will satisfy the appetite of the body. Noon - would be better to use the meat juices. This doesn't mean soups! but meat juices, blood puddings, or of such nature. These would be well. In BETWEEN there may be given the milk, dried milk or malted milk, with egg stimulated with a little spirits frumenti or those of the brandies that will make for assimilation. That's between meals, see? Then of an evening - the jellies of vegetables, with either
4320-2 Page 5
the liver, pig knuckle, tripe, or such. These may be taken then.
16. (Q) Would it be harmful if he were slightly propped up in bed? (A) Not harmful, if the body rests better.
17. (Q) What position would it be best for body to lie in? (A) Would be well were it changed to meet the needs of the conditions of the body. Just inclined up sufficiently to rest the body from time to time is the better.
18. (Q) What causes nose to stop up when lying on his right side? (A) The pressures that have been indicated in the cerebrospinal system. These will be removed by removing those pressures in same.
19. (Q) What causes right nostril to bleed quite frequently? (A) The system attempting to adjust itself to eliminate those accumulations in various portions of the system. Hence the applications that have been given for the oil and for those rubs as come with same.
20. (Q) What is condition of appendix? He has pain around that region. (A) Clear, except those pressures that accumulate in the caecum from the non-evacuation of the ascending colon.
21. (Q) Do you consider the chiropractor beneficial? (A) Those of the manipulations would be more effective. Chiropractor, to be sure, is beneficial - for it adjust those pressures that exist in the cerebrospinal system.
22. That is all the questions regarding this body.
