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 are quite a few changes in the physical forces of the body since last we had same here.
4. There has been the inclination for too great an acidity through the system. This, combined with some glandular disturbance, causes a great deal of irritation, and a rash which affects areas about the body in a manner as to become very aggravating to the body. [Menopause beginning?]
5. We would find better conditions for the body, as we find, with rather a close adherence to a strict diet, with some applications that may be of the more beneficial nature - using a Glyco-THYMOLINE solution for the douches.
6. In the diet, do not take any quantity of meat, of any nature, if any at all is taken. Occasionally, however, a little very crisp bacon may be taken, if it is very crisp and all the grease is taken out.
7. No white of the egg to amount to anything, at all. The yolk, though, may be taken.
8. Have a great deal of citrus fruits as a part of the diet, as well as vegetable juices - both raw and cooked; especially raw vegetables such as lettuce, celery, carrots, tomatoes and the like; and all of the well-cooked vegetables that the body may eat, but no dried - as dried beans or the like; use rather the fresh vegetables, especially of the tuberous nature, but well cooked in their own juices - as in Patapar Paper.
9. On those areas where there is the rash, apply D.D.D., - the ointment rather than the liquid.
10. The douche solution would be in the proportions of a tablespoonful of Glyco-Thymoline to a quart and a half of water, body-temperature; using the Fountain douche.
11. Also we would have the thorough relaxations osteopathically made. These treatments should be made more
410-3 Page 2
in the nature of a massage than an adjustment. Hence we find that the neuropathic treatment would be more preferable than the chiropractic, in this particular instance. These should be given especially for relaxing those areas that set up drainages; from the 9th dorsal upward, COORDINATING the lumbar axis with same about every second or third treatment.
12. Do these, and we will find better conditions for this body.
13. Ready for questions.
14. (Q) Would a change and rest be advisable? If so, would Miami, Fla., or the Rosicrucian Sanitarium in San Jose, Calif., be preferable, where they give the various nature treatments? (A) If a change is made, we find that the Clearwater, Florida district would be preferable to the Miami or the California district. For the character of baths that may be had near Clearwater would be more preferable for the body, with those other applications as we have indicated. [Dr. Cecil V. Duffie, D.C., N.D., Duffie's Health Clinic, Lakeland, Fla.? [GD's note: We did not consciously know of the Duffie's Health Clinic at the time. We only heard of him four yrs. later when [Dr. Duffie] read THERE IS A RIVER and wrote EC. Of course the rdg. could have been referring to some other drugless set-up right in Clearwater, the name of which we do not have.]
15. (Q) Would I improve just as much by staying at home and continuing with the chiropractic treatments I am now taking, according to the first Reading given several years ago? (A) The natural change, of course, would be beneficial, and the ability to have the greater quantity of the FRESH citrus fruit would be helpful, as well as the character of baths. Do that.
