1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. We have had this before, you see.
2. Now, we find many of the physical conditions as we have had here before. Some are at an exaggerated condition and cause some distresses in the body at times, on account of non-elimination in the system; for, as we see, the condition is as of this nature: There was in times back an unbalance created in the system through the existent physical conditions, wherein ligament and tissue were involved, [injury?] through that of a germ or a condition that involved the tissue, especially in that as pertains to the locomotion in the body, or a condition involving an extraordinary amount of leukocytes to be created in the system to overcome conditions. With toxins and antitoxins injected in the system to overcome other toxins as were created by the existent condition, this left the system, then, when overcome, in a weakened condition as regarding the eliminations, so that when the elimination in the body becomes unbalanced, this then gives distresses in those weakened portions of system, such as is seen in the plexus as governs the arms, see? especially as that as is seen in the left portion of the brachial plexus; then bringing the disturbance to the right arm and shoulder, in the upper muscle of the shoulder and upper arm. This, then, is as that as might be called a neuritic condition, or neuritis; that is, inflammation as is produced in muscular tissue by drosses not being eliminated from the system.
3. Then, to bring the better conditions for the body, more closely those conditions as have been given for the body should be followed, in the use of the Radium Applicator, which is to be worn (the pad, see?) across the solar plexus, or lower portion of the brachial plexus, on the back, see? This should be worn consistently and persistently, allowing at least twice each day a few moments or minutes - two to five minutes - of recharging of pad, in sunlight or strong

light. In the evenings apply same across or on the shoulder direct, see?
4. And keep those conditions for the system that keep the intestinal tract open, NEVER allowing the system to approach that of constipation in any manner; not an overtaxing that exhumes from the system all of those, or EXPURGES from the system all of those conditions that would give building forces in body, but rather that which will keep a cleansed condition of intestinal tract. This should be through diet and through manipulation, or massage, or of the neuropathic treatment over the whole system.
5. When there is direct pain, see, the application of a saturated solution of Epsom Salts, with hot packs, will relieve the condition, see?
6. And these should bring the normal conditions to the body.
7. No operation SHOULD be made for this condition, for we would find stiffened joints, from the inability of the system to create sufficient leukocytes to prevent a hardening of joint tissue, UNLESS system was BUILDED for same for many months. There MAY be the injection of a serum to create more leukocyte, or that as is given for neuritis, see? This we would NOT give, however, until these as have been given have been thoroughly tested, for the dizziness and the weakness in the system is too apt to be acted upon by such serum, see? Do as we have given for the best conditions of this body, [140].
8. (Q) Can the full use of arm be restored? (A) By persistent and consistent use of same in the manners as have been outlined here. Diet, massage, or neuropathic adjustments, or osteopathic treatments properly given, application of those conditions as found in the Radium Applicator for system, to create a perfect metabolism in system, would bring the normal use of the arm to the body.
9. (Q) How and where has she failed so far as per previous reading? (A) In the manner as given. Not consistent or persistent; for one to gain a condition, physically, mentally, or what not, one must pay that as is necessary to gain same, see?
10. (Q) What doctor or other person would be most beneficial to the treatment? (A) Any along the lines as we have given, but be consistent and persistent with same.
11. (Q) What should the diet be? (A) Those things that will not create too much of an acid, or too much of an alkaline condition throughout the system. Rather be the alkaline than acid - NEVER allowing the system to become overtaxed by not having the proper condition in intestinal tract. Those that are in keeping with such, see?

Common good judgement, according to that which agrees and disagrees with the body, see? As much green vegetable matter as possible. Not too much meats. As much of sea foods as consistent for the body, see, of every character, for these carry much of that as necessary to create an equilibrium in system, but never those prepared in the manner that brings any toxins or create any condition that would aggravate the condition in eliminations.
