1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [756], present in this room.
2. Now, as we find, there are detrimental conditions - and those that prevent a normal activity of the body. These have to do with the structural forces or portions of the body. And there are the effects of these upon the varied organs of the system.
3. These may be aided the greater by the changing of the attitudes in the mental expressions and in those conditions that surround the body.
4. Then, these are the conditions as we find them with this body of [756], present in this room:
5. The BLOOD SUPPLY indicates the deficiency and the inability of the assimilated forces to create sufficient of those elements to at all times meet the needs of the destructive forces from the infectious activity upon the cerebrospinal structural forces. Hence in the centers from the 7th and 8th dorsal to even the cervical area we find the infectious reactions. And these in the blood stream, with the effect that is necessary for the construction of the cellular forces for the blood supply from the areas in the ribs - as well as from the red portions in the bone structure itself, make for those deficiencies that WEAKEN the whole of the vital forces or vitality of the body itself. And this affects, of course, the auditory forces, the sympathetic system, through the sympathetic reactions from those centers or ganglia along those portions of the spine; but the reactions are of the normal nature.
6. In the NERVOUS SYSTEM we find the necessary or parallel reaction from the variations between the sympathetic and the cerebrospinal system. Hence the greater effect that may be
756-1 Page 2
had upon the structural forces of the body through the effect of the mental and spiritual attitude of the body, in meeting in the physical forces those things necessary for the mental and soul body to gain the proper attitudes in its meeting that within itself necessary for the greater soul development; forgetting the bodily forces.
7. But these (the bodily forces), as we find, may be aided materially. While there may not be the whole corrective measures carried forward, they may be aided materially; for there are the vital energies being carried on in the assimilating forces of the organs themselves, as through the digestive supply - that is not as yet attacked by the conditions in the system.
8. So, there should be added to this organism and system that which will enable the blood stream and the vital energies and forces in the body itself to produce or cause those constructive influences in the body to combat the destructive forces. Not as curatives but as palliatives and eliminants, there may be caused those reactions to be met in such a way and manner as to bring about a much better physical condition for this body of [756], we are speaking of.
9. We would, then, add to the system the vibrations that may be created in a relative low formation of electrical forces which are as the elements of Life itself in a physical organism; carrying through same those elements that mete the stamina necessary in the activities of the gland secretions to produce that aid to the structural forces such as to combat and meet the needs. Thus we may prevent greater inroads upon the structural forces of the cerebrospinal system itself. For while in some ganglia there have been the inroads, there are not sufficient inroads as yet to destroy either the spinal cord itself or to cause any pressures other than as passing. Neither are there those inroads that will destroy any of the ganglia if the conditions are halted, and if there will be added to the body that which will not only sustain but rejuvenate - to the influences in the system - that which will aid in bringing that in the body-physical which, combined with the body-mental and spiritual in its attitude to those conditions within and about itself, will be constructive. Condemn neither this, that or the other influence within or about self; for those influences that are of the constructive or creative nature must be maintained in self.
10. In such a Wet Cell Battery appliance we would carry, then, the VIBRATIONS from the Chloride of Gold (in the proportion of one grain to one ounce of distilled water);
756-1 Page 3
not taken internally, but the vibrations from the solution carried into the body through the proper attachments (and there should be at least seven to eight ounces of the solution in the container through which the vibrations pass from the static or electrical forces). The attachments would be made in this manner: The smaller copper anode or plate would be the positive, or attached first - to the 9th dorsal plexus, or that just below where the activities are upon the spine itself, along the cerebrospinal system. The larger nickel plate would be the negative, or that one passing through the Gold solution, attached last - OVER the lacteal duct and umbilici area, in the right portion of the body, where assimilation is carried on from the active forces in the system.
11. Such application would be made each day for twenty to thirty minutes, not more than thirty minutes - at least until it has been applied for twenty to thirty days; then it may be applied for thirty to forty minutes.
12. Also at first we would begin taking the Animated Ash; one-eighth grain taken each evening before retiring - the powder emptied on tongue and washed down with water. And immediately following the taking of the Ash we would give the body not a hard but a gentle massage over portions of the body itself upon which the Ash becomes active to release oxygen. That is, give the MASSAGE over the frontal portion of the chest to the very portions of the upper part of the stomach or the cardiac activities of same.
13. Be MINDFUL that the mental attitudes of self towards those things about self must be maintained in a HELPFUL, HOPEFUL manner. Then the activities may be such that there may be the halting of the destructive influences, and the maintaining of helpful influences in the body.
14. In the diet, keep to those things that are rather of the alkaline reaction; for these will prevent any disorders arising within the assimilating system.
15. Do these, and - as we find - we will bring for this body the greater influences for help and aid.
16. Ready for questions.
17. (Q) Will the treatments relieve the hearing? (A) Not in the immediate future. These will aid, yes - as conditions progress, and as there is the allaying of those conditions that affect the hearing from the ganglia and centers along the cerebrospinal system.
18. (Q) Would a plastic surgical operation help my nose? (A) Plastic surgical operation might be beneficial, but only temporarily. We must relieve the conditions first that cause the impairments of the circulation to the head, which
756-1 Page 4
affects all the mucous membranes of the face and head - where the sympathetic disorders to the sensory system are indicated. An operation may be helpful, but changes will come about - if these vibrations and treatments are added as we have indicated for the body; so it would come later - not for at least thirty to sixty days. Then we would give those changes necessary, whether an operation or otherwise.
19. (Q) Is there any remedy suggested other than that given (A) (Interrupting) The treatments outlined we would do in the present; for these will add those influences in the body that will stay the destructive forces and assist in creating a proper balance for the more effectual activities. Keep the mental and SPIRITUAL balance for the whole activity.
20. (Q) What should be done for the cough? (A) You will be doing something for the cough if you will add these properties to the system as indicated!
21. (Q) Has the New York climate anything to do with the present condition? (A) The natural change in the atmospheric pressures would be more helpful, but these are not the CAUSES of the conditions (the atmospheric pressures); they only affect the condition that exists! The treatments we have outlined are for this particular pressure in which the body is at present; and it would not be harmful if these treatments are followed as given. However, a warmer or drier climate would be helpful.
22. (Q) Is there any chance of my back ever being partially straightened? (A) If we are able through these suggested treatments to maintain the effective activities in the blood supply to halt and stop those inroads, as indicated, then it may be helped.
23. (Q) Would you outline a more specific diet for the body? (A) The diet may be maintained best by following closer the alkaline-reacting list. The foods may be well-balanced between those elements necessary for maintaining strength and a balance in the body. Do that.
24. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file (GD's notes at the time of the reading: See letter [which was enclosed] to The Reilly Service giving specifications for the Wet Cell Battery.

See copy of letter [which was enclosed] explaining the Animated Ash. The massage may be followed by one in the home, who will use the directions given in the reading for this. See alkaline-reacting food list [which was enclosed], of which your principal diet should consist. After following these treatments for thirty to sixty days, let us know so that we may make an appointment for a check reading to give further instructions.)
