Time of Reading 3:40 to 4:00 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., N.Y. (Questions)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [257]. Ready for questions.
2. (Q) Please describe the present conditions as you find them. (A) As we find, there are the recuperative forces taking place, from the incisions - and the effect of the general anaesthesia of the nature indicated to the nerve system. Here we find, if it were practical or possible, the Animated Ash taken internally would be most helpful. The next best thing in the present, as we find, would be to add to the body vibratorially, through the nerve forces, the vibrations from the elements of Spirits of Camphor and Atomidine - alternately; one used one day, the other the next day, through the Wet Cell Appliance. The attachments would be made in this manner: When using the Atomidine - attach the small copper plate to the 4th lumbar, and the larger nickel plate - through which the Atomidine passes vibratorially (commercial strength) - should be attached to the umbilical and lacteal duct plexus, - this is on the right side, you see, and for this body should be closer than ordinarily to the right side (opposite the navel) but the area just below the rib, which would be a little to the right but above the navel, you see - rather than the middle or central portion of the abdomen, it would be more over the lower portion of the gall duct and lacteal duct. The Atomidine (atomic iodine) aids as a purifier to the glandular system, and thus becomes healing through nature's activity upon the bodily functions. When using the Camphor - attach the small copper plate to the 9th dorsal center, and the larger nickel plate - through which the Spirits of Camphor passes vibratorially (commercial strength) - should be attached to the umbilical
257-222 Page 2
and lacteal duct plexus - the same as the day before. The only variation in attachment is upon the spine, you see. The vibratory attachment from the properties would be the same; one used one day, the other the next, you see. Make the attachment for thirty minutes each day. These properties have their varying effect upon the body. The Camphor is to cause a better adherence; toughening the conditions, as it were, that tend to be lacking in the vital forces for recuperations. These we would do each day for at least thirty days; fifteen treatments with each solution, you see. The charge for the electrical appliance, for this body, should be: Copper Sulphate..................2 pounds, Sulphuric Acid C.P...........1 1/2 ounces, Zinc............................45 grains. DO NOT use Charcoal in this solution, but stir the Copper Sulphate until well dissolved, then stir in the Acid, adding the Zinc. This needs not so much the stirring as the general precipitation to produce the low electrical vibration that assists in carrying the vibrations of the properties through the body. Take the connections out of the solution bottle when not in use, putting them back in solution some five to ten minutes before the connection is attached to the body, see? Keep the plates very clean, and the connections very well set up.
3. (Q) From a medical and a surgical point of view, was this operation a perfect job? (A) It will be if it heals properly.
4. (Q) Is the nervous system in perfect order? (A) There is naturally that response in the nervous system from the general shock of being delayed or detected in its activity through the body of the operative forces themselves; and then the anxieties that naturally have upset the general nervous system, through those conditions which have been a part of the experience - and these reflect through the sympathetic nervous system, of course.
257-222 Page 3
Hence all of these applications that have been suggested are much preferable to sedatives of any nature, unless they become necessary for normal rest.
5. (Q) What is condition of heart and heart valves? How did they withstand the strain of the operation? (A) These are much better than would be normally considered, under all of the circumstances that have passed. As we find, while these are not normal as yet, their flexes towards normalcy are very good.
6. (Q) Are the stitches holding properly, and will they continue to hold? (A) As indicated, this will depend upon the responses of the body to the coagulation; and these are the conditions in part about which the warnings were given for this body when the suggestions were made as to the manner in which the precautions should be taken. As we find, with the diet, that as will carry more of the dextrines and the general recuperative forces - as of the vitamins that have been and are being indicated - will be well. But the vibratory forces of those elements given in the manner as we have outlined will be beneficial; and these should be given IN THE FORM OF THE ELECTRICAL VIBRATION AS INDICATED! THIS is preferable for healing to that of current that is of the alternating or direct nature. This is of the galvanic nature, and more as a cellular reaction to the body. Hence the proportions of the elements as indicated to produce the galvanic current, see?
7. (Q) Are right antiseptics and healing medicine being used and properly applied? (A) These are very well.
8. (Q) Is the outside wound healing properly? (A) It is healing. It has healed better internally. The outside is affected from the GENERAL condition of the sympathetic system; thus the impulses of the vibratory nature as we have indicated for the body.
9. (Q) How long should body continue to take "B" vitamins? (A) Continue these as long as necessary, until the healing is COMPLETELY done.
10. (Q) What foods are now best for body? Outline menu in detail for each meal. (A) As indicated, those that carry the dextrines. Those that have been outlined for the body are very good.
11. (Q) Any foods that should be eliminated entirely? (A) As we have indicated, we would follow those suggestions that have been outlined by those who have indicated as to
257-222 Page 4
the best character of diet for recuperative forces. The only changes we would make would be the addition of the vibrations that may add to the nerve forces as well as the glandular and blood supply of the body, through the method indicated.
12. (Q) Should we use the Alpine Sun Lamp direct on the wound, since the days are so dark? (A) We would NOT use it direct upon the wound. The days now will be better, for the sunshine; and of course this should not be directly upon the body - that is, from the outside as yet, but as the body is able to have more of the sunshine and the rays of the sun, it would be better to have it in a shaded way and manner. Do not use the Alpine Light directly upon the wound, as we find.
13. (Q) What is best type of support to wear there that will not cause aches to the body and yet support it properly? (A) The wider, broader abdominal support will be the better - of an elastic nature, but not so as to be too tight, nor yet too loose upon the body, see?
14. (Q) What caused seepage to come after 8 days? (A) The lack of the vibrations being such as to cause the coagulations. The B-1 is needed more than just B, in the vitamins.
15. (Q) Will this be entirely eliminated, and how? (A) This may be entirely eliminated, as there is created better vibratory forces through the system.
16. (Q) If by chance the wound should cause some pain, what is best method of treatment? (A) There should be the following more closely of those suggestions indicated by those who are responsible for those activities, and those connections by making the closing of the incisions, see?
17. (Q) Any tonic or special body builder needed? (A) As indicated, we would not make great changes; just the addition of the vibrations in the manner outlined. Do that.
18. (Q) How long should body rest daily? (A) As it is in the present, it should rest daily continuously - save as to the mental activities; but not too much of exercises, especially of standing; though such exercises as to prevent the static conditions being produced in any of the locomotories of the body.
19. (Q) What is the condition of the colon now since the operation?
257-222 Page 5
(A) This is, of course, gradually adjusting itself; and naturally there will be a continuous strain for some time because of the shortening of the area between the upper and lower portion of same.
20. (Q) What warning needed now to guide the body? (A) Not too quickly attempting to exercise on the feet too much.
21. Do as has been outlined, and we are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file Extra copy to Self by GD, 6/11/40 , 6/11/40
