1. EC: Now, as we find, there are conditions that prevent the normal activity, the normal responses in the physical forces of the body. And, as we find, these can materially be aided and brought to a near normal condition. The effects that have been produced, as we find, arise from a very high temperature in the internal and in the superficial circulation of the body; which has made for an inactivity or incoordinating reaction in the system of the associations of the nerves' responses through the sympathetic and cerebro- spinal.
2. These, as we find, are only conditions in the physical body, not making for a reaction in the mental; for these do not in this particular condition find as yet any disturbance to the mental or the brain forces - but the incoordination in the locomotory centers, in the brachial and in those portions where there is prevented the keeping of that stamina the in muscular and tendon forces sufficient, without support, for a coordinating reaction. This may be physically or materially indicated in the manner in which the body is able to use itself when in water, or in any element where there is the support or the effect of the ability for other portions or outside influences to act with the voluntary and involuntary reflexes of the muscular forces of the body.
3. This, then, that brought about these conditions, was the effect of those things that attacked the system in the nerve forces, in such measures and manners as to destroy the connections.
4. Yet, as the body replenishes itself every seven years, and there is a continued growth in not only the structural portion but of each center, each fibre, each atomic influence, we find that there may be added in the body those
735-1 Page 2
things that become necessary to meet the needs, in such quantities and in such measures those elements and influences as to bring about - with this gradual growth - the creating of a balance in the system; so that each atomic center, each gland, may be so stimulated as to bring for all portions of the body the proper resuscitating and sustaining influences as to make for a normal balance in this body of [735].
5. In meeting these conditions, every influence - surely - must be considered in the applications of those things given.
6. DO NOT inject any serums for the activity of glands, nor for bringing various activities to any portion of the structural body. While the blood flow is near normal, and the pulsation, and the nerve forces, it is those ganglia which we have indicated that prevent the body from being and growing and developing in its normalcy throughout.
7. Then, elements would be added to the body in such a way and manner as to make for the proper coordination with the vibrations that are in every active physical form; as to MEET the needs of the conditions for the body.
8. As we find, all energy is electrical in its activity in a manifested form.
9. Then we would bring to the body not the high voltage of electrical forces that would make for a destruction of elements in the system itself, but the low forms - that are as Life in its manifestations, as it begins in its activity in a material form or sense.
10. Hence we would use the low electrical vibrations that would be altered or changed in their use from day to day, or from one day to another - in this manner:
11. One day we would attach the Radio-Active Appliance, plain, to the extremities of the body - for thirty minutes to an hour. At the first treatment, attach one anode first to the right wrist - then the other to the left ankle. At the next treatment (which would be on the second day; you see, this Appliance would be used every other day), attach one anode first to the left wrist - then the other to the right ankle. Alternate in this manner.
12. The next day (in between the plain Radio-Active Appliance treatments; for this also would be used every other day) we would use the low electrical vibration that comes from the Wet Cell Battery carrying those properties that are as stamina to the nerve forces of the body (that is, the Chloride of Gold Solution - which would be fifteen grains of the Gold to fifteen ounces of distilled water, that proportion). The attachments from this appliance also
735-1 Page 3
would be altered from one treatment to the next, in this manner:
13. At the first treatment with this, attach the smaller copper anode first to the brachial plexus - at the 1st and 2nd dorsal center; then the larger plate made of nickel which passes through the Chloride of Gold solution would be attached last - to the 9th dorsal plexus.
14. At the next application (which would be two days later; coming between the Radio-Active Appliance treatments, every other day), make the first attachment of the smaller anode or plate to the lumbar plexus - or 4th lumbar plexus; then the larger plate last - passing through the solution - to the lacteal duct and umbilicii center, see? And at each treatment with this Wet Cell Appliance it would be attached for fifteen to twenty minutes, not longer - until we have passed a period of the first or second re-charging of the battery.
15. Also each evening we would massage the cerebrospinal system with a combination of oils, that we may have the proper applications of the electrical forces that are created in the system from the Radio-Active Appliance and from the small low charges that are carried into the system to coordinate with the centers that will make for the creating of those nerve centers and plexus to carry through to their associations and connections with the ganglia along the whole of the cerebrospinal system. For as we provide these activities for the system, we will find - with those things that are used in the present (in the baths and the activities for the system) - they will gradually grow and grow and make for a full, COMPLETE recovery - and a NORMAL activity for this body.
16. The compound for the rub would be prepared in this manner:
17. To 2 ounces of Olive Oil, heated, add: Tincture of Myrrh..............2 ounces, Oil of Wintergreen.............1 teaspoonful. Put these together and keep for the massage; just what the cerebrospinal system will absorb each evening as the body is put to rest.
18. We would keep the normal balance in the diet, keeping more to the alkalins than to the acids; but beware of apples (unless the jenneting variety) unless these are cooked. Bananas should NOT be a portion of the diet at ANY time. But use those foods that are nerve and blood building, that we may find in the fresher, greener vegetables given in
735-1 Page 4
whatever form is palatable to the body. But eat as much celery and lettuce, especially, as the body may consume at ANY time.
19. Keep these; and know that through the Creative Energies that are manifested in a material world - in the prayers to the All-Wise Creative Energy or Force we worship as God - there may be brought BLESSINGS into the experience of those that labor with and for the development of a physical body, that this soul may manifest in this material world.
20. Ready for questions.
21. (Q) Just where should the plate from the Battery be placed on the body to cover the umbilicii and lacteal duct area? (A) It's only that portion of the umbilicii center lying on the right side of the navel, TOWARDS the liver or to the right side, see?
22. (Q) Where did the child contract this disease that caused the condition? (A) The influence was abroad; and the body is meeting those experiences within itself through which each entity, each soul must pass for its OWN soul development.
23. (Q) What is the cause of her fingers breaking out in a rash? (A) An excess of acid that finds expression in the circulation in this direction. As we apply the battery activities, this condition will right itself; and these are the active principles upon which the battery activities work, you see: The electrical vibrations through the system itself from the Radio-Active Appliance, plain, are to make for an equalized circulation; that will allow each portion of the eliminating systems and the assimilating systems to function nearer normally. These are only aids, and the creative influence - as we have indicated - must be a GROWTH from within. Hence we will find that with the use of these the rashes should disappear; or the tendencies for the growth of any portion of the body above another will gradually be disseminated and equalized; that is, with the whole combination of treatments as outlined, to be sure. The activities from the Wet Cell Battery, where there are vibrations of a specific nature carried into the body through those centers from which the radial activity of the circulation is carried, are to carry those elements that stimulate a growth to the very glands and the very nerve fibre themselves. And we will be able to find or to see how that various portions of the body, in the extremities, in the strengthening of the stamina along the cerebrospinal
735-1 Page 5
system itself, will be created little by little. Do not become impatient; but know there is being applied that which will bring for this body - [735] - a NORMAL reaction. For the brain is normal, and will develop normally - the BODY will be brought to a normal condition. Not as rote - as just something to be said or to be done - are these treatments to be applied; but as a loving service for one of God's children.
24. We are through for the present. Copy to Father " " Ass'n file (11/17/34 GD's note: See letter [which was enclosed] to The Reilly Service giving specifications for the two types of appliance; that may be rented or purchased for use in the home. Also the Alkalin-Reacting Food list [which was enclosed] should be of help to you in balancing the diet properly; as she should have the greater portion of her diet consisting of such foods.)
