1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes.
3. As we find, there is still a great deal of the lack of the circulation being equally distributed through the upper and lower portions of the body.
4. While the adjustments or osteopathic treatments have been and are very good, a great deal of massage will be found to be most beneficial; of the lower portion of the body, especially the lower limbs, massaging away from the body, as well as the lower portion of the abdomen, and especially across the back, of course.
5. For the massaging we would use a combination of Olive Oil and Oil of Pine Needles; two parts Olive Oil and one part Oil of Pine Needles.
6. Also we would continue the colonics so long as there is the indication of mucous.
7. The body should keep quiet, but not necessarily at all times in bed. However, do not attempt to take long walks nor to have any special activities that would cause a mental or physical exertion as to overtax the circulation between liver and the heart's activity.
8. A diet principally of buttermilk and bananas would be most beneficial for the body; this to be used for periods of at least five to six days at a time. But when the body is off of such a diet, do not overload the system with starches or meats. Fish or fowl in small quantities, soups and raw vegetables, are preferable. [GD's note: Sister told us later that Mrs. [409] was unable to eat the bananas and buttermilk.]
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) Why can't I sleep when I am sleepy? (A) As indicated, the circulation?
11. (Q) What causes swelling in stomach and legs? (A) The circulation not in proper condition.
409-35 Page 2
12. (Q) Does this cause the shortness of breath during night, and choking? (A) This at times causes such; hence the rubbing of the extremities - hands and arms as well as the lower limbs - is beneficial at such times.
13. (Q) Are osteopathic treatments and colonics being given properly? (A) As indicated.
14. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file
