1. EC: There is not enough blood in this body, the white blood corpuscles are more in numbers than needs be, not enough of the red. The blood in attempting to throw off the inflammation in the system has caused this, hence the anemiatized condition of the body. We find floating lesion along the spine; especially at the 3rd, 5th cervical, 8th, 9th and 10th dorsal, produced by the strain on the nervous system, and muscular contraction caused therefrom. This produces the headaches and tired, languid feeling at times, also the vertigo, or dizzy feeling, as the body feels the floor coming up to meet him.
2. All of this is produced by the condition we find in the pelvis and lower intestines; also lesion in the lower lumbars. Lesions at the 4th lumbar are the more severe, hence the pain across the small of the back and through the hips, the tired feeling to the lower limbs; aching knees. There are no intestinal lesions, nor organic trouble in any of the organs of the pelvis, kidneys or liver.
3. Simply an overtaxed nervous condition produced in the system which was not corrected when the intestinal trouble was removed, but affecting all the pelvic organs, producing at times very severe pain to the whole system. [GD's note: The stricture, clot or obstruction in the intestines was apparently not removed by surgery as prescribed in 294-2, when the appendix operation was performed. In subsequent readings you will notice that this condition bothered him the rest of his life, being the cause of much discomfort and suffering, periodically.]
4. To correct this condition, the body should be rubbed thoroughly, along the whole length of the spine, with olive or sweet oil, rubbing the oil thoroughly into the body. This should be done each day, preferably at night, then the body will rest better.
5. Then the body should be treated daily with electrical force, preferably such as is given with electrical massage, or vibrator, using first the sponge, then the ball, to thoroughly relax the whole body.
6. Take daily into the system Beef, Iron and Wine, or such
294-3 Page 2
as is found in Wyeth's Beef Iron and Wine. This should be taken in small doses, stopping when you find the system resists, beginning again as soon as the system has been thoroughly cleansed.
7. Do not take purgatives, relax the system with vibrator and drink plenty of water, draining the stomach by massaging the stomach with the hands. Rubbing the body well with the oil will assist in correcting the action of the intestines and lower bowels, assisting the elimination in the system.
8. Do this and the body will be well and strong.
9. Keep up the treatment until the body is improved to normal. Keep in the open air as much as possible, especially when the sun is shining; sun baths are good for the body, but never let it get overheated.
10. Keep the mind well occupied with as pleasant things as possible; never overtax the strength of the body in any way, but best keep it busy.
11. Eat what the body calls for; more proteins at first; never very much meat, unless game or wild meat of fowls or birds.
12. Do this and the body will be better.
13. Now do this and you will find the body will become normal and what it is intended for, to assist others.
