GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
-
EC: (In undertone, said something which sounded like, “Yes, on the hill.”) [GD’s note: It was later verified that his son’s home where he was staying was “on the hill.”]
-
As we find - there has been such a weakening of the circulatory system, in the walls of same, that there is the inclination for the oozing of same through the wall; thus forming - by the capillary attraction and circulatory forces - hindrances, or what is ordinarily termed a kind of stroke.
-
We find that these conditions arise from excess of poisons and weakening forces, and the lack of proper flow of circulation.
-
The use of that which would tend to relax, or thin - as it were - the blood flow, with the characters of enemas, baths, sweats and rubs, would be the better manner to control or to relieve same.
-
Ready for questions.
-
(Q) Please outline just how this treatment should be given. (A) Hydrotherapy.
-
(Q) What kind of baths and rubs? (A) The rubs that are given with the hands, using oils to reduce the disturbing forces; such as pine oils, or an equal combination of Peanut Oil and Pine Oil, or Olive Oil and Peanut Oil. The Baths would be the regular tub baths, NOT the dry heat but wet heat - or water, see?
Do these for the better influences for the conditions of this body. We are through for the present.
