1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [218]. Now, we find there are conditions as may be aided and changes made, that the forces as have been destructive in the system may be so changed as to PRODUCE that of a replenishing to the point where the body may be rid, at LEAST in part, of that as destroys vitality and the strength, and to be able to meet many of the conditions as would have to do with labors, work, or outside influences.
2. The conditions, as we find, are produced from that as was inhaled into the lungs in gas, and with the vitality being lowered, this has - in its activity - not solidified, or destroyed entirely the lungs proper, but it prevents the reaction of the blood supply through the system in a manner as to give sufficient of the oxygen in system, and through the blood supply, as to build PROPERLY that as is needed as strength or as vitality in system.
3. In meeting, then, these conditions - these, as we find, would enable this to be so changed, as that those conditions in the lung would not be of the NATURE IN their activity as is seen in the present; for, as may be seen from those administrations, the properties of medicinal nature would work with the replenishing system in a manner as that every portion of the lung area, as may be used in its activity, will be so clarified, so cleansed, as to make use of same to the resuscitation of the body itself.
4. In the characters of the blood, externally, these are entirely altered in the present, and necessarily so to meet conditions under which the body-physical labors. This, as we find, will make for bettered conditions and a usefulness for the body-physical in EVERY manner.
5. We would first prepare as this: We would take one-half bushel of apples. Reduce same to pulp, grinding. Place in a charred container that may be closed entirely, see? and
218-1 Page 2
the container should be at least twice as large as the quantity, when pulped. Keep this corked tight, yet keep where the activity of the action through which these will take place will create in the vacuum above same that activity of the fumes or gases from same. At least twice each day, after these have stood for three days, inhale into the lungs the gas only as comes from this fermentation in the charred container, see? [Charred oak keg? Apple Brandy?]
6. During the period this is being inhaled, remove shoes and covering from feet - and cover feet with FULLER'S earth, that there may be that full activity, with the inhalation, of the system receiving the vitality throughout as may be gained from same. Remember: Man's fall was eating an apple. He may be resuscitated through same, properly used. [Gen. 3:12]
7. In the medicinal properties taken, prepare as this; only using or making at one time three of the capsules. Place the liquid, though, in the capsule - this in each capsule: Oil of Eucalyptus......................1 minim, Rectified Oil of Turp................1/2 minim, Canadian Balsam........................1 minim, Codeine.............................1/20 grain. These will be taken one each evening, as the body rests.
8. Keep in the air as much as possible. Do not allow the GLARE of sunshine too MUCH on the body, but indirect rays are much preferable - even in the evenings, when there are dry days - or damp days - let the REFLECTED light, or the outdoors, be the PREFERABLE light for the body.
9. The diet - we would not alter or change.
10. Occasionally there will be found that, from the inhalation - as the fermentation progresses - there will be a residue, or a tendency to cough, or to expectorate. When this begins, use the inhalant as carries the alcohol with those of the extra amount of the Tolu in solution [538-18?]. These have been given as to their proportion. With the use of these, we will find that the body will respond - if these will be taken in their proper attitude, proper precautions, as to the activities. STRENGTH will be gained, and the clarification in lungs - from the mustard gas and from chlorine - will be changed. Ready for questions. [See 281-6, Par. 21-A, 22-A on 5/12/32 and 218-1 Reports or notations.]
11. (Q) Where can the body go to get this treatment? (A) This will be a change from his present surroundings!
218-1 Page 3
but BEST to go to some farm home.
12. (Q) How long before he can see improvement? (A) In the strength and vitality, we will see improvement in the third week. In the second YEAR, almost back to normalcy - in STRENGTH; though endurance, of course, will be retarded.
13. (Q) How long should the treatment be kept up? (A) As long as necessary!
14. (Q) Will he be able to work during the two years? (A) Latter part of the second year, yes.
15. That is all the questions.
16. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n office " " Research Department Two copies to Dr. Lydic
