Time of Reading 308-9 Essex Bldg., 3:30 to 4:20 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. Norfolk, Va.
1. GC: You will have before you the Health Home Remedies Corp., of 308-9 Essex Bldg., Norfolk, Va., its various activities with IPSAB, a remedy for Pyorrhea; TIM, a remedy for Hemorrhoids; and the RADIO and WET CELL APPLIANCES; together with its more immediate operations in preparing a hair curler as recommended for various individuals through this channel and the presentation of a series of letters and pamphlets to members of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc., on the work of the H.H.R. Corp. You will answer the questions which will be presented regarding various phases of this company's operations under the direction of Thomas B. House, present in this room.
2. EC: Yes, we have here the operations and activities of the Health Home Remedies Corporation; its products and that as has been given through these channels as information respecting its use, its preparation, its distribution; also Tim, the Appliances - the Radio-Active, the Wet Cell; and those preparations in formation and experimentation with formulas for hair curling; with those ideas expressed in the letters for arousing the interest of members of the Association in an affiliated organization.
3. As we would find, these each need individual consideration. And there might be a whole period given from here to any one of these, as to aid those in the preparations of the formulas as well as in suggestions for distribution and qualifying of each of the properties or appliances for commercial consumption and the manners of distributing each.
4. We would give, then, these first - as general; and then there may be given a greater specific in problems as the individuals in the preparation of any one of the properties or of the appliances may seek.
5. But if they are seeking through this channel, do them AS
1800-28 Page 2
given - if they would find the results as may be set in motion by the very activities of a corporation with individuals or groups that may be interested in the purposes for which such ARE being prepared!
6. DO NOT, any of those who affiliate themselves in the organization, look upon same as merely a means for making money or making a way of escape from service to humanity as the ideals and purposes of the whole affiliated organizations indicate; else ye find yourselves defeating thine own purpose! For indeed blessed is the man that LIVES what he preaches others should be.
7. With the commercial formulas now, as we find:
8. In the preparation if IPSAB:
9. Here ye have, as has been indicated, a property that - given proper distribution - may lend the greatest aid to humanity for diseases of a specific nature of the gums that has been presented since quinine aided in destroying the germ of malaria.
10. Here ye are dealing with a specific germ. Here ye have the troubles of inducing or satisfying or convincing individuals that such a preparation, out of seemingly nowhere, has such values in the treatment of gum disorders, or in the destruction of the bacillus that is the formation of pyorrhea or Riggs' disturbance.
11. But giving this proper consideration and distribution to sympathetic dentists - that may be found - and expending the time and the patience in talking with, reasoning with, yet never arguing, never bragging, never boasting.
12. But when you consider your list even of those that are members of the Association that are dentists, ye have more than twenty on the list. And each one having had experience, to say nothing of the local interests passing same on; and if ye find that it requires months - yea, even years - to convince and to continue with thine own experimentation in thine OWN laboratory (which is most of all your own mouth!), ye will find when this has received such an impetus that - so far as the normal, nominal returns from same will be millions.
13. Do not consider self as having FINISHED with the experimentation or the adding of various influences or properties in Ipsab, until in each one ye have followed instructions implicitly and THEN checked same with the effect it has upon the body itself; as well as that which is to be given through this channel.
14. To make for an experimentation in thine OWN laboratory: Draw from thine own body six to nine drops of blood, and in THIS add the same number of drops of the Ipsab, and keep
1800-28 Page 3
this at body temperature day and night, and watch not by the naked eye but under the microscope, the changes wrought in the body-blood, see? as to what in same grows, as to what is destroyed, as to what is the effect of same in its activity. Use this in this way and manner for at least nine days and preserve a smear of each day's activity, as well as noting the changes wrought!
15. In the preparation of TIM:
16. Here ye have not fully completed a commercial formula either, yet much nearer to same than even in some of the others. But there is still in the oils of the butterfat that which produces a corrosive in the collapsible tubes. This is not good. And this as we find can be aided by NOT allowing same (the butterfat) to age to such an extent that there is the beginning of the activity of those influences that are acting as the caseins for not only a lubricant to the mucous membranes of the bodily function itself but as the carrier of the properties that act as an astringent as well as a healer.
17. Neither have there been the full precautions as to the forms of the tobacco and its activity with the other properties in producing this product. That then is to be kept more in line with that as has been given.
18. This in its distribution necessarily will be not so much through experimenters or the physician but a product to be distributed rather by mail and of commercial advertising.
19. Hence we find ye have products that must come under a varied form or manner of considering distributions of same.
20. For this is to be distributed more to those that are tillers of the soil, that are workers in factories, that are men in the woods, that are people who are far from a city life. For here the conditions are entirely different.
21. In those experimentations of the RADIO-ACTIVE APPLIANCE:
22. Not near sufficient experimentation has been given these products for commercial distribution. These CAN be produced in such ways and manners as to become a product that may be COMMERCIALLY distributed, as well as one for a specific condition. And this will be, as has been indicated for same, a type of appliance for bringing rest to the weary, rest to those who have been inclined to depend upon sedatives and narcotics for rest; to those who have been under great periods of stress or strain; to those who seek to find an equalizing influence that will assist them in producing a coordination in their physical and mental beings with the spiritual affluence and effect of its activity of spirituality upon the body-physical.
23. Hence this will lead to great specific fields of
1800-28 Page 4
activity for this product, yet in it is to be considered to be prepared for such - as ye are forming into a corporation or organization for definite purposes for carrying out the PRINCIPLES, the ideals and purposes for which the organization has come into being and that the corporation is to function in those same lines becomes apparent, or else it becomes that where it defeats its own purpose.
24. Experimentations here are necessary that in making for a commercial product it is not carrying so much then the appearance of being handmade, or amateurish - so as to be considered not worthy of consideration. Yet this may be produced in a cabinet or box where its activities may be such that they may be tested upon the BODY; NOT as that the ohms or the discharges as are created in the extremities of the body itself are the active forces and not the instrument, though the testing will be that when the body HAS produced that vibration that causes or produces the movements of the measurements that would be upon the instrument itself, it is time to remove from the body and not time to attach to body. For this works with the vibratory influences of the bodily force itself. Hence it is as a magnet. Hence a radio-magnet that applies or supplies from the very vibratory forces of the bodily functionings that as produces a coordination of the activity of the nervous system as related to the actions of the cerebrospinal and sympathetic or vegetative nerve system by its application to the body in the ways and manners that produce to the central nervous system, as they reach the extremities, and influence of a vibration that affects the glandular system in reionizing the body, recharging and revitalizing the body.
25. For as the body breaks down the activities by exercises mental or physical, there are used energies - yet not ALL are active; for the muscular forces indicate that unless all coordinate one with another these then produce a fag in some portion of the body - but is the rest of the body worked down? As is indicated by the very principle upon which this acts, then, these produce that in the body itself that will RESUSCITATE and revive same.
26. Do not build same so that they short circuit in their very activity, as has been indicated by there not being at all times the proper consideration to the insulations between the sixty percent carbon steel that will vibrate to that activity of the bodily function itself, PROVIDED same is set in the elements (as carbon) that BUILD UP the radio-activative force of the circulatory system itself. [As in 261-26.]
1800-28 Page 5
27. These then have not been at all times considered how these are to be kept as a magnet.
28. When there is an influence that short circuits even a U magnet, what happens to its ability to attract or to throw off? This is built not as a U but as a GENERATIVE magnet, that in each connection with the body the short circuiting is to be the flow of the body-fluid in the vibration of the pulsation of the body itself, and not in the instrument itself.
29. Hence the wrapping of these with the coil each connecting with its OWN SELF, not one with the other, will assist; but keep each one of the metals in such a shape that they do not through ANY connection short circuit in the appliance itself.
30. The wrapping of same is MOST necessary. Not only (this is for commercial use, to be sure) with the coil or the wire but when the taping is to be put into the container, and the container as it is to be in water for its charging of temperature, which affects the various portions of the activity of the instrument or the metals as well as having its influence upon the bodily functions, this must be considered - that it is to have then an insulation about same. Ye have used charcoal. This is very well for the individual use, but bakelite or its equivalent will be found to be much more considerate when ye are making same for commercial use.
31. Hence a formula or an activity of same must be worked out. Not that ye cannot experiment with that ye have. This, rather than with the bakelite as yet - or a Double X. These are different forms of paper and a bakelite substance.
32. Then, in those that are builded for individual use, or built to order:
33. These, too, must present not that continually of giving disturbance by the breaking of crocks, or the conditions that make for factors that become troublesome. But there must be used elements or containers that do not in their expansion make for destruction to the solutions that form the very living forces for their effect upon the body. But so build them that in their expansion, as in hard rubber or a composition of rubber, these may have in the cases themselves a packing that will allow for this expansion. These, however, are always to be built only to specifications, but adhere to those specifications. Prepare self in the ways and manners that these may offer the very best possible. You are working under conditions that to you are not satisfactory, but if you are not giving your best under these conditions if you had the IDEAL conditions you
1800-28 Page 6
wouldn't give your best either! and don't fool yourself that you would! Because he that says he would give to the poor if he had a million, and doesn't give when he has ten cents, wouldn't give if he had a million! The same applies in the preparations of those things that represent ideals and principles and purposes. Not that ye are perfect but that ye would GROW!
34. Each and every soul then that would touch these, in any form or manner, dedicate their lives to a service for humanity! And those not willing to do so, GIVE IT UP!
35. In the abilities for the individuals to know how the charges work upon their bodies, whether discharging through principles of vibrations from emanation to the body or whether carrying a discharge of electrical vibration through some specific portion of the body, use here also an indicator such as that that indicates the nominal strength. And this should be that when the appliance has been set in motion before attached to the body, it builds up to a certain discharge. And then as it's given in each specific case, whether twenty minutes, thirty minutes, thirty-five minutes, forty minutes, it will be found that when it has built to a certain charge it will require that period for it to discharge in THAT particular body. And when it has reached then its low ebb, it is here ready to be taken from the body and to be allowed to recharge itself. For here, in this appliance, the charge is built in the instrument, to be discharged in the body; while in the Radio-Active the BODY builds the charge to be discharged through the instrument into other portions of the body - working just the opposite, you see, one to the other.
36. In those preparations for that as said to be a NEW undertaking:
37. These as we find here, thus far, have not been sufficiently carried far enough for the determining of their value as to carrying out those activities upon portions of the hair itself.
38. In thy preparations, and in thy experimentations, use switches of hair and not people's heads - or you may wish you hadn't!
39. But as has been given, first have the bark and the crushed seed of the persimmon from the same vicinity; not necessarily the same tree and the same bark but the same vicinity, the same soil that has produced one produces another; for here you have a variation in the vibration. Allow these to FERMENT, not because they just commence to bubble or taste a little bit sour - for they would be sour to most in the beginning - but allow them to ferment for
1800-28 Page 7
twenty-four to thirty-six to forty-eight hours. This can best be determined by whatever the temperature is of the vats or carriers in which these are put together. Then the distillation from these. You have almost reached something. These are helpful. But experiment with these in their various ways and use them upon switches of hair that are cut from the head but are not growing on the head, and in the manner of application as has been given. There is to be carried with this a scalp treatment of the same kind of solution as the preparation for the hair itself, and then - after these preparations and these activities - first watch that that acts upon the hair by it being rolled in same, see? This experiment is understood, and what is being given. You are dealing differently from growing hair and that that is dead hair, or that is cut from the head. But get one at a time, and then the applications that may be given. Roll these in same, or dampen with the solution and then roll, see? then brush same out. See how many days these last. And make the experimentations. Then there will be given the next step in the preparation of the scalp for the reception of the product to work upon the very roots and the scalp itself. This will NOT fade the hair nor change the color, if it is prepared properly.
40. In the letters, the data that have been prepared for the interesting of those in a more cooperative measure between the affiliated organizations:
41. Do not lose sight of the fact that ye are affiliating a corporation for the producing of individual properties for the making of money, with an organization that is PURELY philanthropic. Do not confuse these. But these ARE necessarily affiliated organizations. But let each be understood in EVERY letter; and that is the only fault that may be found with any of these - there is not sufficient understanding to those that may invest, that while they are investing in a corporation that is organized for the making of money, the greater PRODUCTION of the money is to be given to a philanthropic organization; thus relieving them of even the taxations, either in county, city, state or national. They can invest LARGE sums of money in a corporation FOR money, that their returns to same may be for a philanthropic activity and thus relieve moneyed men of a greater stress.
42. These are fine, though, in the main - very good.
43. We are through for the present. Two copies to Hugh Lynn Cayce (one for Thomas B. House, one Copy to Ass'n file for Douglas T. Johnston; also copy of Appliance part to Harry Storey)
