1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1770]; this we have had before.
3. As we find, while conditions are not yet so serious, there are changes since last we had same here that are not so good for the better physical forces of the body.
4. Much that has been indicated in information for this body should be taken into consideration with the suggestions that may now be given.
5. In understanding the upsetting conditions which have existed, and which tend to recur under the seeming lack of any cause, some of the reactions in the blood supply - as related to glandular systems and the variation existing between sympathetic and cerebrospinal system - might be interrupted for the body here.
6. Each portion of the body - as the sensory system; as the activity of lungs, heart, liver or kidneys, as well as digestion or assimilation and distribution of that assimilated - reproduces through the body from that assimilated not only the supplying forces for various functionings of the complex activities of the body, but rebuilds itself. The greater portion of this, to be sure, is carried on through the blood systems; that is, the lymph, the emunctory, as well as the flow of white and red blood corpuscles, as well as the leukocyte or that form in the lymph that aids in shielding or creating coagulation, or of putting over strained areas the protective forces in the use of any portion of the body - whether it be the muscular tendon or the activities in even the impulse of emotion or body-force itself.
7. The greater portion of this, to be sure, is carried on in the activity of the glandular system, but as combined with the manner in which the chemical forces THROUGH the assimilation of food values, or chemical forces in the body,
1770-6 Page 2
are capable of supplying same.
8. Here we find there have been some deficiencies in these directions. This activity of cutting out of the system certain elements to prevent certain activities, or in the form of not only a reducing but of the lack of plasm-producing forces in the body, has proven to have gone too far. [10/28/42 See 1770-7, Par. 17-A re diet.]
9. Thus there has been a decreasing of this supply of force in the system to create the sufficient quantities of hormones in the blood force to supply these elements.
10. Hence the thinned or weakened conditions from strain, cold, congestion, or from undue exercise of portions of the body, tend to leave those portions subject to infectious forces from which the body may come in contact even with same through the air or in the influences about the body.
11. Thus there are forms of strep, or forms in the blood that have attacked portions of this plasm in the lymph, the emunctory AND the coagulating or strep of the nature as to ward against the leucocyte plasm in the stream.
12. Because of certain quantities or ABUNDANCE of certain elements, there is indicated that splotches have become noticeable in portions of the body. This is especially true in portions where the skin is exposed in the circulation; that is, hands, arms, neck, face. Or, if there would be sun baths (which have at times proved most beneficial), these would appear on other portions of the body the same.
13. The form of the sulfa drug, or injections, or capsules, has caused the accumulation. Hence for the body these are not the best in the present, though there ARE conditions where such might be most beneficial. But with the tendency of the assimilating system, and with the excess of forms of iron or silicon in the system, these produce disturbing or unsightly conditions at times.
14. These, then, are the forces as WE find necessary for the body in the present:
15. First - we would have some three or four thorough hydrotherapy treatments; these about every three to four days apart; including a colonic to cleanse the colon of those excesses that have been thrown off in the system, and that tend to accumulate through this slowing process. This is better than the attempting to create, in the present, sufficient lymph to produce same - as from minerals or salts or the like.
16. Follow the colonic with a very MILD sweat; that is, the dry heat, to form a perspiration to the exterior or superficial circulation - just sufficient to begin this. THEN use - in the cabinet - the vapor or fume bath; that is,
1770-6 Page 3
sufficient Witchhazel in a pint of boiling water (as in a croup cup or in an Open container under the body), to form the vapor over the whole skin - from the steam that arises from same, see? Then there would be a thorough rubdown given, using an equal combination of Peanut Oil and Olive Oil, as measures for food for the skin itself and for the superficial circulation. Of course, in the end, there should be the alcohol rub to close the pores of the skin.
17. Each day take internally - preferably at two, three or four o'clock in the afternoon - half a teaspoonful of Knox Gelatine dissolved in cold water (not in warm). This is as a supply of the vital forces necessary to aid, with this purification of the body, the assimilating from foods of those vital energies necessary.
18. Then, the diet:
19. Drink each day, as an aid to better elimination, plenty of citrus fruit juices, tomato juice, also sometime during the day kraut juice.
20. While not in excess, there should be taken plenty of fish, fowl and the like; lamb, but not so much of hog meats of ANY nature - not even the breakfast bacon, though this may be taken occasionally.
21. Plenty of rice cakes or popcorn cakes. Or corn bread, - this made with hot water and baked, preferably in corn pones or the like.
22. These are preferable to medicinal properties of either vegetable compounds or derivatives, or minerals, that might further upset the system.
23. As a gargle for the throat, as a spray (that is, in an atomizer - or just as a gargle), we would use Glyco-Thymoline. Even if portions of this are swallowed, it is also a good intestinal antiseptic.
24. These should bring in the present the better conditions for this body, [1770].
25. Do that.
26. Ready for questions.
27. (Q) Would Adiron be better for my system than the 2 capsules I am taking after each meal, presumably liver and iron, suggested by a physician? (A) Do not take ADIRON, as there has been a change in its composition that in the present, for this particular body, under existent circumstances, would NOT be so well. And please leave off the other capsules for the present, as indicated.
28. (Q) Is Sal Hepatica harmful in any way, if taken every morning? (A) If we will do these, it won't be necessary. Let's not
1770-6 Page 4
take this until there has been the full cleansing of the system. Use the kraut juice, which is just as saline and stimulates better elimination. Sal Hepatica - it depends upon the manner in which it is taken, as to whether it becomes a detrimental influence or not. For this body, a little later - this taken occasionally as an aid may help. This had better be according to instructions after the reactions are considered from these other suggestions, however.
29. (Q) What is cause of night sweating, and dizziness? (A) Poisons, and the accumulations through the system that should be eliminated by the use of the cabinet sweats and rubdowns and the forms of diet. This should disappear at least after the second or third of such rubs, but continue these for at least three to four - as indicated.
30. (Q) Any other advice? (A) Do these in the present for this body.
31. We are through for the present. Copy to Self - Air Mail " " Ass'n file le
