1. EC: We have the body here, [5661]. Now, we would find many conditions as are interesting and unusual as regarding this body, the body's surroundings, the body's attitude towards individuals and toward self, and there be many that have been associated with this entity in varied capacities as have to do with the SOURCES through which the entity seeks that for the physical for the spiritual understanding of self.
2. In the physical, we find there are conditions material that hinder in the better physical functioning of the body. These are of rather the subtle nature, but specific in their character; yet CAUSING IN the physical conditions that have been treated rather than the CAUSE of that disturbing the physical functioning.
3. These are conditions and that which may correct them, as we find them with this body, [5661].
4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this rather changeable, for the character of the disturbance, as given, is of a toxic nature, and affects the circulation in different ways and manners. At times the blood carrying so much of a toxic disturbance as to hinder the circulation in extremities, and leaving there such effects as cause to the body distresses, as is seen in the feet, in arms, and in hands at times. These are EFFECTS and NOT causes. While in the feet, with the body's weight, this has produced a condition that tends towards that of leaving the tendons so relaxed as to produce disturbances. With the proper CORRECTIONS in the physical body, and with precautions taken as to the style and shape of footwear, and the supports as necessary both for ankle, heel and front arch, these may be relieved entirely. Be careful in this direction.
5. With the removal of that CAUSING the distress, those conditions existent in the heart's functioning, or the pressure as produced there at times, these conditions in the
5661-1 Page 2
throat, bronchia and the head, will be relieved permanently. The use of an antiseptic as an inhalant or spray, that is ALKALIN in its reaction, will MATERIALLY aid in this direction - for the body controls self mentally in many reactions in the system.
6. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, this suffers under the stresses as are created in the body, as seen in lower limbs, in the activity of the locomotion - especially along the sciatic nerve line, also in those conditions as produce irritation through the pelvic organs. These are SYMPATHETIC, NOT causes, and with the removal OF those conditions PRODUCING same we will find these will disappear.
7. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, in that strain produced in the organs of the sensory system, this comes from the pressure as produced from those toxic effects in the system, as is seen in throat, mouth, the cavities of the face, the eyes. These are REFLEXES, not as causes. The CAUSES, then, arising from that condition existent in the colon proper. Here we find the effects of NOT a whole prolapsus, but a TENDENCY of same, and with the removal OF these disturbing forces as accumulate through accumulations of the feces in same, from which the toxic forces arise, we will find that bettered conditions will come to the system. These we would remove by the irrigation or high enemas in such a manner as to cleanse the lower system, being mindful that these are NOT done to the extent as to DESTROY the activity of the lymphatic circulation THROUGH same, but LEAVING rather when such is used - which should be at least, at first, once each week for three to four weeks, then every other week for two months - leaving in same some of those oils as will be ASSIMILATED by the system itself, or a combination of pure olive oil and of RUSSIAN white oil. These will be as a lubricant and as food values for the system. We would also use those of the ALKALIN antiseptic in the last wash before the oil is used.
8. We would be mindful of the diet. Do not overtax the system with too much of the acid producing foods, but rather a well BALANCED diet, with the TENDENCY to the alkalin. Little meats, and little grease. No foods that are fried should be eaten by THIS body, whether in that rendered from animal fats or vegetable, but rather vegetable oils on the salads or green vegetables taken.
9. This, as we find, would materially aid and would bring about the near normal condition for this body of [5661].
10. In the mental application of self towards individuals and conditions in the life, let that be the ruling factor of serve in every direction for others - for there may be found
5661-1 Page 3
that all conditions in earth are as high priced as the service rendered, and only God and good is free. THAT hinders no one - while position, power, self, often blinds one to the GOOD that may be accomplished in the efforts of the body mental, the body physical, or the body spiritual. Love one another, even as perfect love casteth out fear. Fear no man. Rather let the fear of thy God DIRECT thy ways. Keep thy paths straight, and keep thy skirts from reproach. Let not thy good be evil spoken of. Ready for questions.
11. (Q) What particular kind, style or make of shoe should the body wear? (A) This as outlined, precautions for the WEIGHT as would assist in strengthening the ankle and in protecting the frontal arch. Correct the pressures as produce same, and conditions will disappear.
12. (Q) Is the pressure in the colon that referred to? (A) Disturbance in the colon and the pressure in the locomotories, as given.
13. (Q) Does that also cause the pain in the lower part of back and stiffness in joints and muscles. (A) To be sure, from which the radiation comes! This is the lumbar and sacral region. Well that, EACH day, the MASSAGE be given to RESTRAIN the system and to equalize the whole of the circulation. Following the enemas, or irrigations, the SWEATS should be taken - but beware of taking cold after same - see? We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n office " " Cayce Hospital
