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: That's a right big hill.
3. Yes, we have the body here, [5140].
4. In giving the interpretations of the conditions as we find them with this physical body, much as to the results as may be obtained will depend upon the spiritual attitude that is taken by the body; not respecting the physical disturbance.
5. There will be required the analyzing of self first, as to what purpose, as to what use the body will give to those creative forces that may bring relief from the physical disturbance which exists.
6. Unless these are to be used in a greater service for the Master, of what use will the life be? The life has only been spared by natural sources. Will you change it from that which has been the experience, which brought about the necessity for the operative forces?
7. The results of this operation are the sources of the disturbance through the caecum, as well as the prostrate area. Lesions have formed and these cause a general pressure upon the organs, as well as the brush end of the cerebrospinal nervous system, giving and forming disturbances in the organs of the sensory system.
8. Have you listened to the voice of conscience as it has brought corrections to the self? These are parts of the cause of the creation of deposits along the Eustachian tube, which causes the great roaring in the head and ears; that is, in the anxiety the body feels at times through the general mental attitude towards conditions as well as
5140-1 Page 2
towards people.
9. In making the applications for helpful forces, do the first things, first; and the vows and promises you make to thy own better self, you'd better keep, lest the last state be worse than the first!
10. Physically, we would make these applications alternately: One day make an application of the Castor Oil packs over the caecum and lower abdominal area. Let this extend close to the pubic center and across to the left side of the body. This should be made of at least three thicknesses of flannel very thoroughly saturated with Castor Oil, and then apply directly to the body. Then apply salt heat. Have a pad made with salt in same, quilted in, as to make the pad at least 1/2 inch to 1 inch thick of heavy salt. This place in the oven and then when it's warm enough that it just can be handled, even with gloves, place over the Oil Pack. Let it remain until there is little or no heat left in the pad or Pack. Let this extend across the whole area of the lower abdomen.
11. When this is taken off, sponge off with a weak solution of soda water; then massage gently with Cocoa Butter so as to gradually break up the adhesions without injury even to soft tissues.
12. The next day apply Glyco-Thymoline Packs. These would be at least three or four thicknesses of cotton cloth. Do not heat these, but when they have become the temperature of the body, from the body heat, which will require about thirty to forty-five minutes if the pad is thoroughly soaked with the Glyco, then these may be removed from the body and sponge off again with the solution of soda water, and then apply the same in the massage with Cocoa Butter.
13. Do have osteopathic adjustments, especially in the lumbar and sacral areas. Also the 9th dorsal, through the brachial centers and throughout the cervical. This, to be sure, is at variance to most measures taken by an osteopathic manipulator, but work from the lower end upward, then from the 1st cervical down again. This should be not so much correcting spinal centers, save in the lumbar and sacral and up to the 9th dorsal, but massage those centers as indicated, particularly having a better coordination between the cerebrospinal and the sympathetic nervous systems.
14. In the diet: take plenty of raw vegetables, often preparing same with gelatin.
15. Occasionally, once a week or such a matter, do have a shortwave electrical treatment. This will aid in breaking lesions and adhesions, as well as helping poisons created in
5140-1 Page 3
the system to be stirred so that the osteopathic adjustments and the stimulations from better eliminations will purify the system.
16. Do that and we will bring better conditions for this body.
17. Ready for questions.
18. (Q) Are there other organic or functional disturbances that are in need of present attention? (A) Only as has been indicated, that sympathetically there are disturbances to the liver, kidneys and bladder, or organs of the body below the diaphragm. Do as has been indicated, would we gain better conditions.
19. We are through with this reading. Copy to Self (one for the osteopath, who may also give the electrical treatments - Please let us have the name and address of the one you choose.)
