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: Yes, we find, there are many changes in the general physical forces of the body since last we had it here. Many of those conditions that were as turmoils or distress in the the body at times have outlived or have been dissipated. While there are disturbances physically in the body, we would find that if there are disturbances physically in the body, we would find that if there would be just the general corrections as to keep the body physically fit, good eliminations, those tendencies for an arthritic-neuritic reaction will be greatly relieved. These will come better by altering the laxatives. While the mineral salts are well to be used, these changed about, as using Syrup of Pepsin, alternated with the mineral salts would be better.

3. Ready for questions - we have many here.

4. (Q) Are “faulty choice and preparation of foods;” also “faulty thinking” both primary causes in subnormal health? (A) Either or both of these may or may not become contributing factors; for, of course, if an individual thinks so in his heart it becomes so, see? If there is is the consistent thinking, as has been warned before, “I must see about this, I must do something about that,” we wouldn’t get very far. If there is the need for the changes, then it is well to change.

5. (Q) Do you advise a strict diet of fruit and vegetables for a period? (A) No, we would advise rather keeping the centers in the cerebrospinal system from impulses arise more in accord, or the effects upon the various portions of the body being kept more in coordination, then such a strict diet as to become ludicrous at times. It doesn’t help, and always causes a great deal of anxiety and trouble.

6. (Q) Should cooking water from potatoes in jackets and broccoli and asparagus be chilled and drunk? (A) This depends upon what they are being taken for. There are properties of course, in each of these ingredients that constitute a helpful experience or helpful application, from those things about the fruits and vegetables, but these kept haphazardly, there is not much good to be obtained. But if these are cared for in the general way, using these specifically at times, it would be much better.

7. (Q) How long may they be kept in ice box before using? (A) As either of these are strained off, or kept, use them in the next twenty-four hours.

8. (Q) Should certain vegetables always be cooked in Patapar paper? (A) There are certain vegetables that, with the processes in Patapar Paper, the mineral salts which are most active with the human body are preserved. White potatoes, with glandular system and certain activities, if there are those disturbances evidenced which arise at times then not to be considered too frequently.

9. (Q) What is cause and cure of scaled, red skin between buttocks? (A) This is caused from acidity in the system. Use powder with Balsam as a base.

10. (Q) What causes puffs of yellow skin around eyes and how cure? (A) Poor circulation, and the stimulation taken osteopathically once a week for three weeks and then leave it off two or three weeks and then again, these general relaxing treatments, will be most helpful for the body.

11. (Q) Have I arthritis in right finger joint? (A) As indicated, there is neuritic rather than arthritic tendency. Thus the need for better eliminations to be established. That is why the altering in the mineral salts and vegetable laxatives is suggested. One period one, and one period the other.

12. (Q) Have I neuritis in my right arm? (A) This same source, some disturbance.

13. (Q) How can I improve my eyesight? (A) The head and neck exercises consistently. This taken for even two months doesn’t begin to show very much improvement, but consistently will be very beneficial.

14. (Q) Shall I begin again taking Vitamin E? (A) As indicated, in the time or periods it would be well that this be taken again. Now we would take them both with cereals, as well as in one period, then the other, let them be taken to help out with the vitamins.

15. (Q) Shall I take more injections. (A) The male hormones would be very well to be taken as part of the injections. Take these about twice a month.

16. (Q) Shall I continue osteopathic treatments with Schoelles? (A) About once a week and, as given, two or three, skip two or three times, then again.

17. (Q) Are the two - Vitamin A and One-A-Day tablets to be continued daily? (A) These should not be taken in the summer: In the winter, yes.

18. (Q) Are there other vitamins or minerals? (A) These are more important. These should be obtained through regular diet.

19. (Q) Does the poor digestion of starch or raw vegetables cause sleepiness after eating? (A) This causes gas, poison and sleepiness.

20. (Q) How correct? (A) Don’t take them, or keep the eliminations in such manners that we don’t have the gas forming from same.

21. (Q) Have I a cancer condition? (A) No.

22. (Q) Would it be for my best good to arrange to stay in the present house for several years, or leave next spring? (A) This should be best determined by other circumstances. If most of the family are to be away, be away yourself.

23. (Q) Have you other suggestions for serene balanced living? (A) Keep that attitude which has been maintained. First study to show thyself approved unto God; that is, the consciousness of thine own self; being in attune with and directed by and towards and through the activities of the Creative Forces. These form for the body the better background for every activity.

24. We are through with this reading.
