1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time; giving the cause of existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions that may be asked:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, [1523]; this we have had before.
3. As we find, the acute conditions arise from the effects of a poison - pyrene.
4. From this activity the acute indigestion as produced through the alimentary canal has caused an expansion of, and a blocking in, the colon areas.
5. As we find in the present, we would apply hot Castor Oil Packs continuously for two and a half to three hours.
6. Then have an enema, gently given. It would be well that some oil be in the first enema; that is, the oil alone given first, see? Olive Oil would be the better for this; about half a pint; so that there may be the relaxing.
7. And then give the enema with body temperature water, using a heaping teaspoonful of salt and a level teaspoonful of baking soda to the quart and a half of water. Give this gently at first, but eventually - that is, after the period when there has been the ability for a movement - use the colon tube.
8. Then we would take internally - after the Oil Packs and the enema - a tablespoonful of Olive Oil.
9. This, as we find, should relieve the tensions and relax the body sufficiently to remove the disturbing conditions.
10. These, as we find, are the disturbing conditions in the present.
11. That there are sympathetic reactions from the adhesions, as well as the conditions which exist in the organs of gestation, is a natural consequence. These are NOT hindering the disturbance in the present, since relaxation.
12. Do that.
13. Ready for questions.

14. (Q) Should she have any nourishment today? (A) Only liquids today; such as a soup, or gruel, or milk, or the like.
15. (Q) What was the cause of the poisoning? (A) Pyrene! Pyrene [See 1523-9, Par. R3] - a preservative upon the beans. [GD's note: Mrs. [1523] told us that she was at her mother's house in the late afternoon of 1/20/40 and had made herself a raw vegetable cocktail in her mother's new juicer, including some beautiful green string beans!]
16. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file e
