1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1561]; this we have had, in its various phases, before.
3. As we find, conditions which exist of a disturbing nature in the present are the results, mainly, of intestinal flu. And the inflammation that causes the temperature, a little nausea, weakness, upsetting through the alimentary canal, stiffness through the joints at times, catches in the hips and back, pains at other times through the shoulders, the drumming in the ear, and the tendency for slowing of circulation there - these arise from pressures produced in the areas through the alimentary canal, where inflammation outside of the canal itself - but in the abdominal area - causes these, through the reflexes and the lymph and emunctory circulation there to give those uneven reactions to the activity of the heart, the liver, the circulation and the kidneys.
4. We find that the irritation also has been maintained by too great a quantity of the type, or combination of the type, of minerals taken as a laxative, which has been too severe; causing a strain on the lymph portions through the canal in certain areas.
5. About an hour at the time, each day for about two days, we would apply the Onion Poultices over the liver, the gall duct, and extending to the caecum area; prepared in this manner:
6. Prepare a thin gauze or cloth of sufficient size to cover this area. Cut up onions very fine; heat them, not cook them too much but heat them; mixing with them - for this quantity - about a tablespoonful of corn meal - preferably the yellow corn meal. Spread this on the cloth, covering with a heavier cloth - warm, not too hot - and apply to the body.
7. After this has been on for some ten minutes (not in the
1561-22 Page 2
beginning) apply an electric pad, and let this heat for at least thirty minutes more, see?
8. Then this may be cleansed off.
9. As a laxative - during the two or three days this is used - take Senna Pod Tea. Take at least a cup of the tea. Use a good pinch of the Senna Pods or Leaves in a cup, pouring boiling water over same and allowing to stand for twenty to thirty minutes; strain, and when sufficiently cool, drink - preferably doing this in the evenings.
10. Do not take too much solid foods through the period this treatment is taken. Don't take solid foods through these periods, whether two or three days.
11. When this has acted sufficiently with the body-forces, - then the next day have a good hydrotherapy treatment; this including a colonic irrigation, with a thorough rubdown - having with same, or just before the rubdown, a hot and cold needle shower.
12. Do these, and we will relieve these tensions, taking the tension off the body-forces, and reactions will be good.
13. We will find that these conditions in the head, through the throat, through the alimentary canal, this tired, achey feeling, heaviness through the limbs and feet, will disappear.
14. Ready for questions.
15. (Q) Should I discontinue all present treatment I've been taking? (A) As suggested, some of these have been too severe. The electrical treatments, while they aid - these are only stimulating other centers to an activity not good.
16. (Q) Blood tests indicates malaria, typhoid, pneumonia and other toxins. (A) As indicated, this is the effect of flu germ in the lymph and emunctory circulation, especially through the alimentary canal. These applications indicated will tend to draw in such a manner, with the character of properties to be given, and followed by the water treatment, as to cause this to be eliminated.
17. We are through - for the present. Copy to Self - Special Delivery " " Ass'n file n file
