Time of Reading 11:35 to 11:55 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., N.Y. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1474].
2. As we find, in the physical forces of the body there are the inclinations and the activities that are abnormal.
3. However, they are being produced by infection which arises from an unbalanced condition in the coordinating of the sympathetic AND the imaginative or active forces - more specifically - of the locomotories.
4. The infectious conditions arise from an unbalanced chemical reaction from assimilations; and the specific infection is in the covering of nerve tissue impulse reaction - hence it has been termed of an arthritic nature.
5. For it then prevents the movements in the locomotories of the extremities when it becomes acute.
6. These as we find then, with persistence may be eliminated from the system. But it will require that there be NOT a resorting to diets that bring about the disturbance in the balance of the chemical reaction in the blood flow, and in the assimilations in the activities of the glandular forces of the body - even after there is a great deal better feeling.
7. Then, these conditions produce resistances; or the organs attempt to build up that which will resist the inroads and activities of the disturbances.
8. Hence this in itself brings about disturbing forces that produce reflexes as to cause disturbances from time to time in the digestive forces, in the circulatory forces and in the activities upon the nervous system.
9. But if there is the adherence to those influences as we find that may eradicate the disturbance, and with the keeping of the balance in the assimilating forces, better conditions may come about for this body, [1474].
10. In making applications for the body, then:
11. First we would begin with an eliminant that is of the vegetable nature rather than of the mineral compounds; as may be had in the combination of California Syrup of Figs
1474-2 Page 2
with Fletcher's Castoria - about half and half of each. Not in large doses, but take sufficient; that is, about a teaspoonful at a time; so as to have a perfect or good reaction through the alimentary canal. Take a teaspoonful at least an hour or two hours or three hours apart. This depends upon the reaction of same, but take until there is a THOROUGH evacuation before beginning the rest of the treatment in the order as we will outline.
12. Then each time, or after each round of the California Syrup of Figs and Castoria compound, be sure to take - after this has acted well - a HIGH ENEMA; to eliminate all the drosses that are excited by the activity of the lymph through the alimentary canal from the colon.
13. We would begin then, after the enema, but letting a day elapse, with taking internally a combination of the Chloride of Gold and the Bromide of Soda solutions. But prepare these solutions separately, and keep separate, in this manner:
14. The Gold Solution would be in the proportions of three to five grains of the Chloride of Gold in three to five ounces of Distilled Water, see? that is, one grain to each ounce of the Distilled Water. This would be the Gold Solution from which the dosage would be taken to be added to the Soda Solution.
15. The Soda Solution would be in the proportions of two grains Bromide of Soda to an ounce of Distilled Water; or six to eight grains to three to four ounces of Distilled Water these proportions. This would be the Soda Solution from which the dosage would be taken to be added to the Gold Solution.
16. Then, the dosage would be taken morning and evening. Begin with ONE minim (drop) of the Gold Solution and TWO minims of the Soda Solution - put together when ready to be taken, you see, in half a glass of water. Take this dosage before the morning meal and before retiring of evening. Do this for two days.
17. Then increase the dose to TWO minims of the Gold Solution and FOUR minims of the Soda Solution. Take this dosage for two days.
18. Then increase to THREE minims of the Gold Solution and SIX minims of the Soda Solution. Take this dosage for two days.
19. Then leave off; and the next day take a FUME Sweat, see? The fumes would be from the iodine solutions; a teaspoonful of Tincture of Iodine in six ounces of water heated for the fumes in the cabinet bath, you see - or that proportion.
20. Following the Fume Bath, sponge off and have an Olive
1474-2 Page 3
Oil massage.
21. Then the body would refrain from taking any of the treatments for three to four to five days.
22. Then repeat the whole of the activities as indicated.
23. And after the Fume Baths have been begun, begin using the Radio-Active Appliance as a coordinator for the circulation which will have been so stimulated through the body. These treatments would be continued then. Circulate the attachments about the body; that is:
24. The first day, make the first attachment to the right wrist, the last attachment to the left ankle.
25. Next day, make the first attachment to the left wrist, the last to the right ankle.
26. Third day, make the first attachment to the left ankle, the last to the right wrist.
27. Fourth day, make the first attachment to the right ankle, the last to the left wrist.
28. Then begin over again. In this manner the attachments have circulated the body, you see; the first plate attached being the positive, the last attached being the negative.
29. Continue alternating the attachments in this manner, using the Appliance for thirty to fifty minutes each evening, when ready to retire. Take the Appliance lying prone.
30. Use that period for not deep thinking but rather for spiritual meditation on CONSTRUCTIVE forces; philosophy and theology, and the relationships of self to Creative Forces, and to the fellow man - IN the light of SPIRITUAL understanding.
31. In the diet: Be mindful that there are no white breads taken, nor white potatoes - save the skins; though the yams may be taken. That is, when white (or Irish) potatoes are taken, only eat the jackets and that portion close to same. And do not combine macaroni and spaghetti, or cheese and macaroni, with any breads - that is, no two of these at any one meal. Do not take fried foods of any kind. Do not take any of the foods that make for fermentation. No beer or heavy drinks, EVER; though red wine may be taken of an afternoon AS food - with rye or whole wheat wafers but take very slowly, AS a food, not as a drink. The meats should consist of fish, fowl and lamb, or such natures.
32. If these are kept, if these are made persistent, we will find bettered conditions for this body.
33. Ready for questions.
34. (Q) May I continue to use milk, butter, eggs, whole wheat bread? (A) May continue to use these in moderation. Better to use
1474-2 Page 4
only the yolk of the egg, and do not have eggs EVER fried!
35. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file (Note by GD at the time of the Reading: Fume Bath directions for Mrs. [1474], ..., N.Y.
