1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1194]; this we have had before. [See 1194-1, Par. B1.]
2. Conditions as we find are not so good with this body in the present. While undue anxiety is not to be raised, there must be some precautions and some definite steps taken if we would make for the removal of the disturbing conditions and an effective change for betterments in the body.
3. The complications are of such natures in the present that it will require time and persistence in the following of very strict regulations for the body, if we would remove from the body the causes and the effects of the disturbances that have arisen, without greater undue concern.
4. These then are conditions as we find them in this body in the present, [1194] we are speaking of:
5. In the circulatory forces we find a great deal of disturbance. This is in its basic condition the greater anxiety that is in the system. For not only is there an engorgement of the circulatory channel between the arterial and the venous circulation between the heart, the liver and the lungs, but this pressure on same becomes a condition to be reckoned with through other conditions that have in a greater part been the basic cause of producing this engorgement in the circulatory forces, and those detrimental conditions that arise from same.
6. There is, as we find, an engorgement in the colon area also. This has been the basic disturbance, producing a pressure upon the organs in the left portion of the body as related to the circulation between the eliminating and the assimilating systems.
7. Hence we have a congestion in the ducts and glands of the liver, as well as an adherence in the caecum and the colon area in the right portion; though the engorgement as we find is rather in the upper portion of the transverse colon, and a portion of the ascending, yet producing a disturbance throughout.

8. The disturbances are such that unless temperature should arise, making for the necessity of immediate or expedient operative forces, we find that operative measures would be detrimental to the general condition owing to the condition of the plasm in the blood supply that would not allow for proper coagulation; neither would the conditions between the hepatic circulation and the pulmonary circulation allow for the effect of anaesthesia for the body itself, because of the great strain that it would produce upon same. Hence such measures become almost prohibitive unless a great deal of precaution is taken in PREPARING the body for such operative forces - as the appendicial area. While the adherence there causes a great deal of anxiety, as we would find other measures that may be taken should be at least given the full opportunity and at the same time will make for such corrections in the general circulation and the blood stream itself that, should it become necessary, the body could undergo such extreme measures with a less possibility of detrimental effects.
9. It is true that the lesions which are indicated in the circulatory forces, especially in the eliminating channels, are the cause - or the basic causes for the disturbances of a neuritic nature; not neurotic but neuritic, yet they are of a neurotic nature in the circulation in the extremities. And these tendencies arise from the slowing of the circulation through the extremities at the time of rest, so that the body is unable to concentrate at times.
10. These are the conditions as we find them with this body.
11. Then while there have been those administrations in the present, and that are being made, that are temporarily effective and helpful, these WE would apply in such a way and manner that if they are kept consistently, if they are followed in a persistent way, we find they should relieve these disturbances - unless other emergencies arise that are not indicated in the immediate - though as we have intimated are possible of arising through either infectious forces or overanxiety or overactivity such as to cause or produce suddenly the infectious forces with temperature, adherence of tissue.
12. First we would begin with Colonic Irrigations. This not too much, nor of too long a strain in the beginning. But take them EVERY DAY for at least three to five days, or until the colon is gradually relieved of the pressure. Not too much at first; that is, do not attempt to relieve the whole pressure at once. Use a salt and soda solution for the first cleansing, and following each cleansing use an antiseptic solution - intestinal antiseptic; that is, in the
1194-1 Page 3
flush or rinse water, put a tablespoonful of Glyco-Thymoline to the quart and a half of water.
13. Then we would begin with small doses of ambrosia week in the liquid; that is, Simmons' Liver Regulator in the liquid; half a teaspoonful about three times a day, for two days. Then take two teaspoonsful at a dose on the third day, for the flushing of same.
14. Rest about one to two days, then.
15. And then begin with the high enemas or colonics again, and continue until these eliminations are carried through. Should it be necessary to relieve the pain, of course take the Regulator again.
16. But AFTER these eliminations are set up (that is, after the second series of colonics have begun), then we would begin with manipulative or corrective forces. These may be given either osteopathically or chiropractically, provided that the MASSAGE is given with same to relieve the pressure upon the LUMBAR axis. And coordinate the 9th dorsal centers, the upper dorsal and cervical centers, WITH the corrections made in the lumbar area. Begin these AFTER the eliminations of those congestions, those engorgements in the colon area.
17. Follow these until the corrections are made, and unless other emergencies - then we would give the proper instructions. 18 Not too great or strenuous exercise, but sufficient to keep the activity of the circulation through the whole of the bodily forces to the extremities and all, see?
19. Also we would be mindful that the diets throughout this period would conform to this as an outline:
20. Mornings - citrus fruit juices OR cereals, though not both at the same meal; prune juices or the fresh fruits or stewed fruits. No meats at such a meal.
21. Noons - rather the raw vegetables, or alternate same with cooked cereals or vegetable juices, or meat juices.
22. Evenings - well-cooked vegetables that are preferably of the leafy variety. Only fowl, fish or lamb as meats at such meals. NO FRIED FOODS of any kind! Little or NO potatoes of any kind!
23. Follow these in the order indicated, and after the corrective measures have been taken for a week, we would give further instructions.
24. We are through for the present. Copy to Self - Special Delivery " " Ass'n file
