1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, we find the physical conditions as respecting this body are abnormal, to the body. While the conditions have been classes among those as incurable, or indeterminate as to the actual cause - on account of the various characters of those things used as determinants as to the cause (some of these have been helpful for a time; others have at times been harmful) - yet, will the body respond to those application as WE find may be made, the results should be MOST satisfactory. While it will be necessary to change or alter the applications as developments may set in, will there be proper corrections made, proper surrogations made in the system - as to the character of that as produces disturbance, and the proper building made [results will come]. For, while assimilation is seemingly the greater hindrance, the inability to create vitality or resistance in the system is greater.
2. These, then, are conditions as we find them with this body. While the body [is] developing and in its formative stages - being near the first - yes, within the first cycle [going on 7?] - an injury to the system, as relates to the activity of the vegetative system, occurred. This injury being, then, in the 12th dorsal region. Radiating, as it does, through the lower portion of the solar plexus centers, has produced that distortion in the system, so that development in every SENSE - as far as retentive forces, or intentive forces may be concerned - has been either accentuated in some direction, or HINDERED to where only life itself has been retentive - and at times THIS has been despaired of. From this, as may be seen, the blood stream [is] very low in its resistive forces, incapable at times to assimilate scarcely ANY food, so that even the amount of vitamins must needs be measured, weighed, or balanced so that the system in itself has NOT that necessary functioning to balance same without accumulating drosses. The

activities to the locomotion being at times active, at others nil, and the whole of the system suffering from this strained condition. The functioning of organs themselves becoming not only involuntary, but voluntary - with the activities as created in the energies as have been attempted to be supplied TO the body in its various stages of changes.
3. In meeting the needs, as we find - first, in the present conditions, we would - with very small quantities of medicated ash - add to the system more of the oxygen as may be liberated in the system with the activity of the ASSIMILATED, and assimilations IN the system; at the same time surrogating [segregating?] those elements has have been destroyers of the plasm [plasma?] of DEVELOPMENT in and for the physical retention in the system. NOT more than one eighth of a GRAIN twice each day. This may be given in the food as would be supplied the system, and most of these necessarily must be of the pre-digested nature, altering same only as the NECESSITIES arise.
4. After this has been given (the ash) for at least eight days, we would add those of the vibrations from the altering lights, as may be had from the ultra-violet, the ultra-marine, and the blue - altering these as the CONDITIONS are changed; that is, two days - three days - of each, then repeating the cycle.
5. At the same time, the gentle massage should be given over the whole system, for the body being in its developing stage, or age, is necessary that the distribution of energies - whether from the vibratory release in the system from the effect of the ash with the vegetative nerve system, or that of the intestines as related to the mesenteric. These, as they separate - it will be necessary to change or alter the conditions as the progress is made. This will of necessity be consistency and persistency, would we bring the better conditions for this body in this present experience.
6. Then we would change these, as necessity arise, giving this first the opportunity, in the next ten to sixteen days. Ready for questions.
7. (Q) Are food tests of any value? (A) As is indicated from that given, often these - in this particular case and condition - be not only MEASURED, but weighed - as to that necessary to meet the requirements in this particular condition; giving sufficient of each of the [vitamins] - in their respective order - adding the proper number of calories in the variations as arise with the body.
8. (Q) Are there any foods to be avoided? (A) Those that are hard of digestion. Rather those of the pre-digested nature, as we begin this first segregation.
5645-1 Page 3
Segregation, in this particular instance, meaning SEPARATING within the vital forces of the system, that corrective measures may be brought about to make the proper balance in the system. Segregating those through the active forces of carbon, or oxygen, through the decomposed carbon, electrified, released IN the system - so as to re-VITALIZE the energies in the blood stream. Though this may cause a reaction in the capillary circulation, do not become alarmed, for this must first reach retraction before we may go ahead. GET on the right track!
9. (Q) Is there any connection between the condition from which the child suffered at the age of one and her present condition? (A) As has been indicated - that's the beginning. The injury here causing this distress in the mesenteric and vegetative system, so that assimilation and vitality was impossible to be stored through the unbalanced condition - or the metabolism being destroyed in the forces, the blood's energy and its storage forces come to act one upon another, rather than coordinating one with another.
10. (Q) Did a recent accident in treatment affect her condition? (A) As the retraction showed, and as was given - that not always HAVE the applications been beneficial, but at times even detrimental. These, in the LONG run, may be turned INTO proper activities - but a hindrance at the time. Do this as we have given. Then, when this has been consistently, persistently, or - commonly termed - FAITHFULLY adhered to, we would aid further. We are through for the present.
