1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for corrective measures; answering the questions as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here; this we have had before.
3. As we find, there are many changes in the physical forces of the body since last we had same here. Not all of these are towards betterments. For, we find that there has gradually grown those tendencies for disturbances in the assimilating system. Hence the organs AND the reaction of the system have become disturbing factors in the general physical conditions - not only glandular forces as make for the change in the metabolism of the system and the effects brought about in the pancrean reaction of producing too much sugar in the system at times, but both the upper and lower hepatics in their circulation and activities tend to cause the separating of influences in the body. [See 454-8, Par. R2 in 11/41 indicating that she had undergone surgery for cancer - both breasts removed.]
4. These conditions may be materially aided; with care, attention, changing as to environs and as to diets, and as to the general activity for a time.
5. Hence, under the directions or supervision and in the climatic reaction of McFadden-Deauville we would have recuperative activities; with plenty of the baths, the massages, the keeping of the poisons from the system - as from the sun baths and the mineral baths that would be given. These, with the eliminating of conditions in the colon area through the enemas, would bring about much better conditions.
6. As we find, it will take some six to eight weeks before we would find a great deal of improvement; though we will see much change within ten days.
7. In the diets, and the activities of the body - do not take injections, but - instead - we would take the Jerusalem artichoke each day for five days, leave off a period of three days, then take again, and so on, until the general

conditions would be improved. One day have it raw, the next day cooked - one about the size of a guinea egg. Eat this with the regular meal, you see - do not take it as a meal by itself but eat it with other things.
8. Be precautions as to keeping away from things that are fat or greasy.
9. Have more of vegetables and of fruits.
10. Doing these, and in that environ indicated, we may bring the better forces for this body.
11. Ready for questions.
12. (Q) What exercise? (A) Not a great deal, other than walking or swimming or rowing.
13. (Q) Which of the McFadden sanitariums would you suggest? (A) There's only one that is the McFadden-Deauville, - that's Miami Beach. Do these, if we would bring the bettered conditions for this body, [454]. In the diet, we find that light wines may be added occasionally; but none of carbonated waters. The wines would be taken only as foods, and no strong drinks.
