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 he has submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes - green trimmings.
3. Yes, we have the body here, [1945].
4. Now as we find, while conditions in many respects are very good, there are disturbing physical forces that without the proper correction may eventually cause a great deal more trouble than that indicated in the superficial blood supply in the present.
5. These, however, as we find, with proper precautions and with the adherence to those suggestions which will be indicated here, may be eradicated from the system.
6. It will require patience, persistence, and a rather close adherence to a diet.
7. Then, these are the conditions as we find them with this body, [1945] we are speaking of:
8. First, as we find, there has been and was a predisposition towards a disturbance in the blood stream, owing to the lack of elements of the nature that would be called iodonic, or iodine through the supply of the bodily forces, BEFORE the birth; that is, in the body of the mother.
9. Hence there was a weakness or an inclination in that direction.
10. Then as we find, with an unbalanced condition from the diet, with the infectious forces - owing to the manner of application for the eradication of same from the system, it became chronic in its nature.
11. With the predisposition, then, and with the disturbance already existent in the chemical reactions of the system and the lack of the proper glandular reaction from the thyroid (though not sufficient to make for too great a weakness, yet indigency in a direction), we find there has been produced
1945-1 Page 2
in the superficial circulation an irritation that forms in the nature of a condition that does not remain wholly as a CONTINUED irritation or rash, but at times becomes VERY MUCH irritated - as indicated in portions of the superficial circulation on portions of the body.
12. These at times, of course, become much more aggravated than at others. Not an eczema exactly - more of a nerve force combined with same, owing to the weaknesses in the system as indicated.
13. As combined with those conditions where the genital system is involved in same, these continue then to produce a reinfection at times - but is more in the superficial circulation than in other portions of the body. However, unless it is removed, it may become - by the very nature of the disturbance - such as to attack the lymph in the joints, owing to its flow through same, especially in the extremities of the body.
14. At times also this general condition, or chronic condition, causes a disturbance to the organs of the sensory system - owing to the infectious forces being carried IN the superficial circulation; thus affecting in the NERVE ends more of the sympathetic nervous forces of the body.
15. These as we find are the disturbances with this body of [1945] with their concurrent disturbance or drain upon the organs of the body - without an organic disturbance save sympathetically reflected in same.
16. Now, in making for corrective measures:
17. As indicated, the diet as well as the mental attitude of the body towards creative or spiritual influences in its life MUST be a part of those applications for beneficial conditions.
18. For if there is the continued condemning of self for any activity, it will become a hindrance.
19. On the other hand, if the mental activities are used for hopefulness, helpfulness, gentleness, kindliness, brotherly love, patience, consistence - these as we find will create and make for the bodily forces a different attitude TO the whole of the reactions that are to be created by those applications which we would give for the correction of the disturbance.
20. And if these applications are followed closely for six to ten weeks, we should find the condition disappearing, - and not only a near to normal physical reaction but the mental attitude, the mental outlook of quite a different nature.
21. First, then:
22. We would begin with taking Atomidine, commercial
1945-1 Page 3
strength. Begin with one minim in half a glass of water before the morning meal is taken. Each day for five days increase the dosage one minim, see? until five minims are taken on the fifth day.
23. Then, after the end of the fifth day, leave off for ONE day, see?
24. Then begin the NEXT day with taking properties prepared in this way and manner: Mix together very thoroughly a level tablespoonful of Sulphur, a level tablespoonful of Epsom Salts, and a level tablespoonful of Cream of Tartar. Take a level teaspoonful of this mixture each morning until the whole quantity is taken.
25. Leave off then for one day.
26. Then begin with the Atomidine again - this time taking TWO minims EACH day for the five days, see?
27. Take the same compound then again as indicated, see?
28. Continue this procedure until at least five rounds of each of these properties, you see - taken in the manner and rotation as indicated; the Atomidine to cleanse and purify the glandular forces; the combination of Sulphur, etc., to produce in the system sulphamide.
29. After the second round of the Atomidine, we would also use Atomidine as a penial douche or wash, see? The solution for such use would be seven DROPS of commercial strength Atomidine in two tablespoonsful of Distilled Water - not tap water. Keep this in a colored bottle IN a dark place, and it may be used for at least three or four times, so as to cleanse the bladder as well as the glandular forces along the prostate area - which this, AS a douche, will do. This would only be used afterwards as the indications would require; or if there is the feeling of a fullness in the prostate area, OR a tendency for any inflammation by a few drops of pus after urination, use once - with a penial douche, see?
30. Now, as to the diet:
31. Do not eat hog meat in ANY manner, save a little breakfast bacon - if desired - once or twice a week (but this very crisp).
32. Do not use MALT liquors in ANY form!
33. Soft drinks such as Coca-Cola, Cherry-Cola, Pepsi-Cola or any of the Cola drinks, may be taken in moderation - but none of those that are of MALT nature or base; nor any of hard liquors.
34. Light wines may be occasionally taken.
35. Beware of fats, or of a very great quantity of butter, or of white bread.
36. These, then, we would consider; and adhere to these
1945-1 Page 4
suggestions. Otherwise, everything else may be used in the regular rations or regular proportions.
37. Not too much of sweets - though this does not indicate that these should be taboo entirely. Just be moderate.
38. Do these, and we will find in six to ten weeks - or in ten weeks - we should be free from these disturbances.
39. Ready for questions.
40. (Q) Would any local application be suggested for the eruption? (A) Apply externally the D.D.D. Cream - this as a lotion, and then dusted with Stearate of Zinc Powder containing Balsam.
41. (Q) What is the condition of the teeth at present? (A) Some of these need local attention. Do these for the better forces of this body, [1945].
42. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file Ass'n file
