1. GC: Please go over this body thoroughly, and especially examine the upper part of the colon and describe any abnormal condition you find, or any polyps, tumors or growths that you may find, advising present condition, danger involved, and what to do to correct it, the proper time and person to do it. You will answer the questions he has submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, [257]; this we have had before.
3. Ready for questions.
4. (Q) Five doctors have signed the report which I am holding. They state it is a tumor. Is their statement correct? (A) From their point of view, correct. As we have indicated, it is lymph that forms into a condition in which there gathers blood, through the circulation and through the activities which cause the disturbance. When there is the adherence to those suggestions which we have made as to the diet, as to activities, as to the rest, as to the applications taken internally, we find that the activities are farther and farther apart - as to causing this to disgorge itself. And this disgorgement, and then through those applications which we have indicated, or the keeping in line with the suggestions so that the system may be kept sufficiently well or strong to absorb same, will be much more preferable than attempting to operate - under the existent conditions. For it would require opening the portion of the colon itself, which - unless there was a long, LONG period of quiet - would cause trouble that would NOT be relieved.
5. (Q) Shall I take Saffron Tea, Elm Bark, and Grape Juice? (A) If these are taken in the proportions and in the manner, and at the periods indicated, well. If they are taken indiscriminately, or at other periods or times when it
257-219 Page 2
has not been indicated as being well to be taken, do not take same.
6. (Q) Under present condition, shall I have the front tooth taken out as dentist recommended, and tooth on upper right side? [See 257-218.] (A) As we find, if there were the proper treatment accorded, and these eventually removed, it would be much better.
7. (Q) What kind of treatment should I have? (A) Local applications to allay the poisons and to take them from the system - as some accumulations from cold, congestion, coming from the flow of the blood through same that distributes poisons throughout the body.
8. (Q) Under present condition, what will effect of colonic be? (A) Depends upon the manner in which it is given. If it is given with those precautions as should be necessary on the part of any one giving the right character of colonic, will be very well. And at times when there is the filling of the condition, in the portion of the colon, it becomes necessary to dilate the colon with same, so that the poisons may be removed from the system.
9. (Q) What advice to the body at this time? (A) Consider well all that we have indicated from time to time as to EACH of those conditions described, since its first inception through those disturbances which arose from cold, congestion, and the extenuation of those conditions when there were the hemorrhoids that had gradually arisen to folds in the system itself. And then keep in that way of activity in which this condition may be best handled, as we find, WITHOUT resorting to operative measures - AS YET, ANYWAY.
10. (Q) Any other advice for the body? (A) From time to time there have been various conditions given as to the character of the enemas at the periods when these should be taken, and as to antiseptics which should be a part of the administration by mouth as well as through the rectal area; and these in their proper place should be adhered to. Do that, if there will be the better conditions for this body. Of course, the Animated Ash would be most helpful; but this would require that there be greater precaution as to the eliminating of same with the colonic irrigations at times.
