-
GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions she has submitted, as I ask them:
-
EC: Yes - we have had this before.
-
In many respects conditions are improved, and in others we find there has not been as much precaution taken as the common activity under the disturbances would indicate as necessary.
-
These are the conditions, as we find then, that may be materially aided with PERSISTENT activities in the directions here indicated:
-
It is indicated that there are not the best eliminations; that there is too much of acid foods taken, or the “breaking over” owing to the demands of the appetite because of the glandular activities - and these should be noticed, or precautions taken as to same.
-
As we find, then:
-
We would use only such as Ry-Krisp as bread, or ALWAYS using toasted whole wheat bread. Preferably the Ry-Krisp, though.
-
Also twice each day we would take grape juice (Welch’s preferably); one ounce of the grape juice in half an ounce of water, half an hour before the meal - preferably the morning and evening meals, especially.
-
With taking these, we find that the appetite will be more readily satisfied, and it will be a REDUCING nature of diet that will NOT disturb an already disturbed glandular system - and also prevent the disturbance through the throat and neck from becoming of greater consequence.
-
Also we find that the use of not too high a voltage of the Violet Ray, with the Neck Applicator, will retard or eliminate the tendency for the engorgement in the thyroid area - or reduce or eliminate the inclination for goitre.
-
White bread or spaghetti or cheese should NEVER be taken.
-
Have more of the vegetables - the leafy variety would be preferable to those of the bulbular nature or such as beans, peas or the like (that is, the dried, see?).
-
Once a week - we would say (considering the conditions and surroundings) Thursday evenings, preferably - we would have a Jerusalem artichoke at least the size of a duck egg or the like, eaten either raw or cooked - just so it is thoroughly done but not overcooked; not roasted, but boiled, see - as a potato. This will tend to make for a better activity of the glandular system as related to the hepatic and the pancrean circulation.
-
Do those.
-
We find that the occasional deep manipulation, osteopathically given, WOULD be MOST helpful; such as Irvin.
-
Ready for questions.
-
(Q) Are eggs good for the body? (A) Not too much of same, and ONLY the yolk - this either hardboiled or cooked in this manner: Put IN BOILING water, taking it off the stove and letting it stay in the water for five minutes - then eat the yolk principally.
-
(Q) What makes my abdomen swell? (A) The conditions as indicated from the glandular forces as related to the pancreas and kidneys.
-
(Q) Do I need a heart stimulant? (A) RATHER there is needed a reduction of the pressures in the circulation, so that the heart’s activity would become more normal. Because the hepatics become SO disturbed, this makes a slowing in the heart.
-
(Q) How can I prevent taking such colds? (A) Keep the system alkalized rather than making so much of acid in the system. The citrocarbonates are very well to take when there is the appearance of cold.
-
(Q) Do I have goitre? (A) As indicated, there is the inclination towards same.
Do as has been given.
- We are through with this Reading.
