1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions; also suggestions for help and relief of this body. You will answer the questions she submits, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1783].
3. Now as we find, there are many phases of physical experience and material welfare that should be taken into consideration in giving those things which we find as disturbing conditions with this body.
4. These disturbing factors have long been a part of the general physical welfare; and little or nothing has been done about same. And the system gradually attempting to adjust itself to the kind or character of disorders, has built something of a chronic disturbance.
5. But the increase in the amount of the disturbances from lack of proper eliminations has caused greater hindrances towards a better physical condition.
6. All of this then should be taken into consideration. And there is the necessity of preparing the system for conditions which might enable the physical being to create, through the general assimilating system, effectual activities to rid the body of the disturbances now existing.
7. Then, these are the conditions as we find them with this body, [1783].
8. There has existed in the cerebrospinal system a subluxation which has long been the cause of an upsetting of the digestive system, and the recurrent conditions of a character of headache as produced from pressures upon the fifth nerve.
9. This subluxation as we find exists in the secondary cardiac plexus areas, or the 2nd, 3rd dorsal, 5th and 6th cervical.
10. This unbalancing of the activity of the impulse to the assimilating system has gradually caused an unbalancing of
1783-1 Page 2
the sufficient quantities of iodines in the system to purify the glandular conditions.
11. These then have gradually become slowed up. This slowing activity has produced upon the circulatory forces between the heart and the liver a filling, or distortion, - without there being sufficient activity through the lower hepatics not to cause a quick pulsation through any nerve reaction that may arise within the system.
12. Hence we have not that as of any organic heart disturbance but a functional one that has become almost of a chronic nature.
13. We also find poisons in the system from excess acidity, with the combined actions of disturbed glands; causing inclinations for segregations or hardening of tissue along the mammary gland and to the right breast.
14. All of these then, as we find, are conditions which may be brought to a near normal activity in this body if there is consistent and persistent activity towards such, and the changes wrought as would be necessary to relieve the disturbances so as to bring - eventually - a near normal activity.
15. These will require periods of activity, as has been indicated, for the preparation for the eliminating of the disturbance existent.
16. There will be required a series of stimulations to the deficiencies and the activities of the organs to increase the supply of energies to rebuild or replenish the system in a normal direction.
17. First, then, as we find:
18. We would have a series of hydrotherapy treatments, of a very precautious nature. Have at least three high colonic irrigations in a period of three to four weeks, with each time a hot and cold spray AFTER same and a thorough rubdown. Then leave same off for about a week.
19. Then begin with Fume Sweats, using Tincture of Iodine to boil in the fumes - or atomic iodine (Atomidine). Take these about once each week, with the body thoroughly massaged off afterwards. Again, precautions must be taken that these are not of such a high temperature as to cause disturbance to the heart's activity.
20. When the Fume Baths are begun, we would also begin with the osteopathic adjustments - gently given in the beginning, and in the Dobbins' manner (Do not attempt to have the adjustments with the hydrotherapy treatments, or by such operators!). Correct the subluxations in the upper dorsal and cervical area, coordinating the 9th dorsal, lumbar and sacral axis with same.
1783-1 Page 3
21. This will require about sixteen to eighteen adjustments AND treatments combined - that is, of the osteopathic manipulations.
22. Do not attempt to make all the adjustments necessary in the beginning.
23. Also when the Fume Baths are begun, we would begin taking Atomidine internally; one drop in half a glass of water every morning before any meal is taken, for a period of ten days. Leave off about a week and then take again.
24. In the matter of the diet, keep away from any fried foods. Very little meat; rather fish or fowl, provided this is roasted, broiled, baked or the like. Use rather vegetables that grow ABOVE the ground - that is, the leafy variety, preferably. Not any quantity of milk, though cereal drinks will be very well. Plenty of citrus fruit juices and the like - and nuts when they agree with the body. Very little starches or sweets - save the natural sweets such as in honey and in fruits.
25. Do these and as we find we may bring the better conditions for this body of [1783].
26. Ready for questions.
27. (Q) Where would be the best place to obtain the hydrotherapy treatments? (A) At Reilly's, or the like; but as indicated, they must watch the effects of these upon the general system.
28. (Q) Certain doctors think I have a tendency to cancer. Is this true and if so is there any real danger? (A) If there is not something done, this may be the eventual outcome of the clogging through the mammary glands.
29. (Q) I am a very poor sleeper. Is this due to my so-called weak heart? (A) As indicated, from the poisons, toxic forces - and the pressures upon the circulatory forces between lung, heart and liver.
30. (Q) What can be done about the catarrh which seems to get worse with the years? (A) This will be improved with even the first colonics; and then much more with the rubs and the massages. Just so there is the alleviation of the pressure and drainages set up, which will be done first by the hydrotherapy and then the osteopathic manipulation which goes along with same. Do not attempt to have the osteopathic adjustments WITH the hydrotherapy treatments - that is, do not combine the treatments by the same operators.
31. (Q) Is the typing which is part of my work bad for my heart? (A) Not necessarily so, if the corrections are made as indicated.

Do as we have given for the best conditions for this body.
