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 has submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1813].
3. Now as we find, there are some disturbing conditions. These as we find have not been wholly understood, and there has been some experimentation by those making suggestions or applications for helpful forces; and these have not altogether been good.
4. Not that there are such SERIOUS disturbances, as we find in the present, but they are of such a nature as to make for rather the awareness, or the feeling of impending disturbances that at times become quite aggravating; for it is beginning to work upon the reflex impulses to the sympathetic AND the sensory nervous system.
5. These then are conditions as we find them with this body, [1813]:
6. First, in the blood supply we find the indications of an aggravation, through a lack of the influences for keeping a coordination between the lymph (or the superficial circulation - that is, to the skin areas) and the deeper or the ELIMINATING circulation as related to same.
7. As we find, portions of this arise from irritations produced, others from the nervous system, others from the conditions which arise naturally from changing effects or conditions of cycle activity, as it might be called, in the body.
8. We find, while the pulsation or the pressure is very good, there is also the tendency for an inactivity of the GLANDULAR system. This is especially as related to the assimilating system or glands in those areas that combine or work with the gall duct AND the pancreas, with ITS combinations with the spleen.
9. Thus we have at times those conditions when there is the
1813-1 Page 2
lack of proper alimentary canal eliminations. We find again disturbances with the conditions at the Periods when there is inactivity that causes a character of headache that varies. We find the body becomes rather nervous, rather anxious about self; at others circumstances and things all apparently affect the body through the nervous system, from this lack of GLANDULAR clarification.
10. In the nerve forces themselves - as we have indicated, these disturbances in the nervous system, or the incoordination between cerebrospinal and sympathetic system and the superficial or the epidermis, are the sources of aggravation, and at the same time causes for same. And much of the conditions become the EFFECT of nerve disturbance, but being IRRITATED by other conditions.
11. Not so much is the condition from impingements or impulses, but rather more of a superficial nature in one respect and a DEEPER one through the incoordination of glandular force in others.
12. In the functioning of the organs themselves - as may be indicated, while the system is very good as to organic reactions, the activity of the glandular force as combined with the nervous disturbance PRODUCES an anxiety occasionally through the organs of the body, especially the organs of the sensory system.
13. And while these may be materially aided by the continued application of the character of massage that is occasionally given, (and these applications as we find should be kept up), there would be more effective results if there were added to the system those influences or elements that will purify the body-functioning especially as to the glandular system - and thus bring about a bettered condition through the body.
14. These then as we find would be the preferable applications:
15. It is not necessary that there be, then, any particular medication as would be applied by the attending of a physician, save as for the security or the assurance that no special disturbance is arising.
16. First we would begin with Atomidine as a purifier for thyroids, especially - to be active also with the glandular forces for better activity through assimilations and the activities through the relationships of the upper hepatic to the lower circulation. This would be taken rather in this way and manner:
17. Begin with one minim in half a glass of water ten to fifteen minutes before the meal is taken of morning. Increase this one minim every day for five days, until five
1813-1 Page 3
minims are being taken once a day, see? Leave off then for three days, then begin again with the one minim and each day increase until the five minims are being taken. Leave off again for the three days, then have the third series.
18. After the third series, leave off the Atomidine entirely; for the time being, at least. After five days,
19. Then (not before) begin with Acigest (a preparation of the hydrochloric acid) for the digestive system. This would be ONLY taken in raw milk, you see; once each day, half to a teaspoonful in a full glass of raw milk; and it is preferable for the milk not to be TOO old. Take this each day in this manner for at least two weeks. Of course, don't begin this until the Atomidine has been left off for five days, you see, or until five days have elapsed after the last series of the Atomidine.
20. After the two weeks of taking the Acigest, then leave this off. And begin with Calcios, that the action of both of these may be upon the blood system, the nerve supply, the cleansing of the body, purifying the blood; thus making for better assimilations throughout the body. Take the Calcios in the manner indicated for same.
21. Keep up the massage once or twice a week.
22. In the matter of the diet, these would be those things to be eliminated; rather than outlining any specific or SET diet:
23. Do not eat fried foods of ANY nature. Do not combine cereals AND citrus fruits or fruit juices at the same meal. Do not take milk or cream IN coffee or tea. Use preferably cereal drinks, if palatable. Do not take any foods in combination that become too great a quantity of alcohol-producing; such as great amount of candies or sweets taken with a great amount of starches at the same time, or even the same day.
24. With the general massage, especially through the periods when the Atomidine AND the Acigest are taken, it would be well that colonic irrigations be given to aid in purifying the colon area.
25. Do these and, being consistent with these, as we find we will bring better conditions for the body.
26. Use fruits, especially grapes, as an evening or late meal. These are preferable to sweets or the like.
27. Ready for questions.
28. (Q) Is there any exercise capable of correcting my vision, so that glasses worn for twenty years for astigmatism may be eliminated? (A) As we find, this is rather the condition that has become static. To be sure, the purifying of the system will
1813-1 Page 4
materially aid; but to attempt to remove glasses entirely would become too great a strain in the present upon the nerve system. Head and neck exercises will materially aid, but - as to correcting the astigmatism, this as we find has advanced to where we might do greater harm in other directions in attempting to alleviate directly. Do these things as we have indicated, and we find we will bring better conditions for this body, [1813].
29. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file (2/7/39 GD's note: Atomidine is manufactured by The Atomidine Co., Mt. Vernon, N.Y., distributed by Schieffelin & Co. Acigest AND Calcios are both manufactured by The Colloidal Health Products Corp., Greenvale, Long Island.) .)
