1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of Dr. [358]. You will answer the questions which he has submitted regarding his physical and material well-being, especially with respect to his contemplated trip to India, taking all conditions and circumstances into consideration.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [358], present in this room; those conditions physically and materially that affect the body in the present.
3. Ready for questions.
4. (Q) What is the cause of my paralysis stroke? (A) Toxic forces that are accumulations in the physical forces of the body, that produced a hemorrhage in the blood vessels, and that form in the present state of adhesion or lesion. As first indicated by the activity, this did not occur in the brain proper but rather in the circulation - and found lesion in the brain through the circulation. But, as we find, this may be entirely absorbed and relieved through the circulation by increasing the amount of oxygen in the system and effecting, through that assimilated, a different activity in the blood cells themselves. In this direction, then, would be that which is active and activating upon the glands of the body, stimulating the circulation without increasing the pulsation - either in the lymph circulation or impulse of the nerve that makes for impulsive action through the system. Hence, we would advise the taking of those properties found in Atomidine with, preferably, the low form of electrical vibration that would be attached to the body in such manners as to cause the reactions through those axes or centers where circulation divides in the upper portion of the body
358-4 Page 2
with the liver circulation; which would bring the proper distribution of absorption and elimination of these hindrances in the system. To be sure, as is understood by the body itself, the elements are necessary in the system for a perfect - or near perfect - circulation, by assimilation in the diet. There should be, then, the eliminating of all animal fat, and only the vegetables, fruits and nuts; the nuts supplying the fat and oils; the vegetables and fruits supplying the sugar, the nitrates, and the opposites to the activity of iodine in the system. These, we would find, would bring about a normalcy for the physical reactions of the body. The low form of electrical vibration would be created in that known as the Lyden jar,* or the wet cell battery formation - but carrying an element of charcoal that would make for clarifying the solution in its activity. And the poles of the battery would be of different metals, so that the vibration conforms to the circulation or electrical influence that is created by the activity of fermentation and assimilation in a physical body. * [LEY'DEN JAR (li'den). Also LEYDEN BOTTLE, PHIAL, or VIAL. ELEC. A glass jar or bottle used to accumulate electricity: - so named from having been invented in Leyden, Holland. In its common form, it is coated with tin foil, within and without, well up towards the top, and is surmounted by a brass knob, which communicates with its inner coating. To charge the jar, the knob is connected with an electric source and the outer coating with the ground. Electricity of the same kind as the source is then accumulated on the inner coating, and the opposite kind on the outer.] Hence the positive pole would be of copper, while the negative pole would be of silver - or of such metal, that this vibration is in action as the circulation is carried on through the system. And when attaching to the body, the positive anode or plate would be attached first, to the 1st and 2nd dorsal center (for here we have the brachial plexus, that effects the locomotion both to the upper portion of the body and
358-4 Page 3
reflexly to locomotion in the lumbar area - and coming through the larger center of the ganglia of the sympathetic and cerebrospinal nerve center at this junction). The negative anode or plate then would be attached over the plexus that is governing the activity through this same ganglion, both to the lumbar area and the sympathetic cardiac area - or over the plexus, as the glands of assimilation or the lymph ducts that direct the activity of the fluids that are assimilated for the activity of the liver and its circulation there. The reduction of the fats would make for the reduction of the protein element, and the activity of the necessary ducts that carry the digestive fluid into the lungs for clarification, see? or over the gall duct area, which comes in conjunction with the activity of the spleen and pancreas and the liver circulation, through the lacteal ducts. This battery we would use for twenty minutes each day, preferably in the evenings - or as the day's activities are through, and the body rests and makes for recuperative forces. The quantities of the Atomidine taken would be preferably in smaller quantities but oftener, as it would be more active and activating if taken in this manner; it would become more effective with the system. Rather than taking ten to twelve to twenty drops once or twice a day, it would be much better to take three to five drops three to four times a day; for the activity would be much better with the system as related to the assimilations. Hence the activity to the glands of the system (that is, the the thyroid activity, the adrenal glands, the caecum glands, the activities along the pineal, also the lyden) [Leydig?] is effective by such an assimilation; for when less fluids of digestive nature for food supply are existent, there is more activity to the rest of the system - see?
5. (Q) I am greatly anxious to go to India to start Atomidine Laboratory there. How soon would I be able to go and what success will I have there? (A) There are many conditions to be considered, when considering the success of such an undertaking. As we find, the "fates" (as may be termed) will call - or require, as it were, the presence of the body, and its abilities and activities, in India.
358-4 Page 4
How, then, may the activities of the body in its present associations, present environs, so prepare itself to meet the requirements for making a material manifestation of success (for there are more than one kind of success, as recognized by the body)? With the changes that are being accomplished in this land (India), as in relation to the commercial interchange of the properties that may be determined to be of benefit to a peoples, that are being worked out - as it were - at the present time. As we find, in the spring or fall (not in the mid-summer) of the coming year, the conditions in the COMMERCIAL way would be correct for such an undertaking to be made. There would be by that period also sufficient interest evinced in the associations and connections of the body to insure that this would not only be contemplated but would be made a fact, through that association. Hence the assurance of a commercial or material success would be enhanced by the general conditions that will be existent, and the relations that will exist in the various countries that must be considered also in the commercial success of the undertaking. For, the laboratories, then, may be established there with the wholehearted cooperation of the powers that become active with the presenting of the benefits from such associations in the present connections - see?
6. (Q) When will I return here? (A) That will be determined more by the activities, and the the necessity of the personal supervision in the laboratories - for the time - there. Some nine to sixteen months, as we find, would be required.
7. (Q) Would it be advisable to take my wife and daughter with me to India? (A) Advisable.
8. (Q) I re-organized my company for Atomidine last February. Will the company prosper? Would it be safe for me to go to India and trust the company to go on during my absence? (A) This depends, of course, upon circumstances. If the policies are carried on as the re-organization was intended to do, in presenting the compound to a larger public, yes. If the company is still curtailed by the attempt to use the properties in other directions than purposed in the
358-4 Page 5
reorganization, not so well. But, the very property itself will make eventually such demands as to make a success of the whole proposition. What is desired, of course, is to make the faster success. Then, follow more specifically the lines for which the reorganization was set out.
9. (Q) Would it be safe for me to go? (A) Be safe, if the organization is perfected as to the correct associations. This has been covered in that given, that there will be the necessary arrangements made that the present organization and associations must be affiliated indirectly with the purposes of the trip to India.
10. (Q) Any other advice for the body at this time? (A) Best consider rather seriously those suggestions for the physical welfare, that the body may be able to withstand and cope with those conditions that have been builded in the system; hence enjoy not only the fruits of the labors in the past but be more capable of meeting the demands upon the material welfare for the building of those things in the future in this experience.
