Time of Reading 3:35 to 3:45 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Va.
1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions he may submit, as I ask them.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [849].
3. As we find, conditions continue to be on the improve.
4. There needs to be kept those precautions as indicated regarding dampness or drafts, and the general application of those things that have been indicated.
5. We would recharge the Appliance, making same a third stronger; that is: Copper Sulphate....................2 pounds, Sulphuric Acid.................1 1/2 ounces, Zinc..............................45 grains, and those properties that act with same.
6. Make the attachments of the Appliance in the changed manner, that there may be continued the venom in its activity, and the principles of the activity of each will be more direct to the afflicted areas where there is needed not only the ability to move the muscular forces and joints but the more effectiveness in such.
7. And the manipulative forces should be more in the heels, as we have indicated. These should be DEEPER and more in the upper AND lower portion of the calf of the leg (or where it used to be!).
8. Not that the manipulations are to be lessened in the sacral area, but it will make a great deal of difference if the heel AND those portions of the lower limbs are given special attention. Not enough to bruise, but enough to relax and make many more poppings in the joints and knees.
9. And we will find, with the general conditions kept, improvements should be faster.
10. For the vital forces as needed in the body (that have been left out), use the gelatin now, provided wine is used
849-41 Page 2
in the afternoons - with brown bread; not as a drink but as medicine - red wine or heavy wine that will not be taken in a quantity but the quality of such is blood building, and will combine with the gelatin. Not Jello, nor Royal but gelatin itself.
11. Do that.
12. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) Should the gelatin be given each day, and how much? (A) Don't try to take it all at once, but take it - not so much as medicine, but if it is taken twice a day if he can assimilate it, it's alright - but don't turn the body against same!
14. (Q) Is there a brand of plain gelatin that can be used? [Knox Gelatin] (A) There is a brand of just plain gelatin. Buy plain gelatin.
15. (Q) At what intervals should the cobra venom be given after Sunday? (A) Charge the Appliance beforehand - give the venom as has been outlined - keep it until there is a change - every other day; the Appliance every day with the new attachments; and with those changes in the manipulations.
16. (Q) What should be done for the skin condition at the base of the spine and on right foot? (A) Use the D.D.D. Cream. This is the better. And these places may occasionally be massaged gently with Cocoa Butter.
17. (Q) How often should the body go down on the beach, and how long should he stay under the sand at a time now? (A) Once or twice a week, oftener as the strength is gained; but be sure the sand is dry that the body is covered with, and that it lies upon. And then this should not be such a long period as to become tiresome, but such that there is the quickening, or pulsation through the superficial circulation. Twenty minutes, to as long as the body can stay without it becoming too tired.
