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, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes - mesquite' trees. [See 2068-2, Par. 12-A.]
3. Yes.
4. Now as we find, this general weakness, the indisposition, the recurrent disturbances of the digestive forces as well as trouble with the eliminations, and those activities which occur from the nervous repercussions, and conditions that upset the body physically and mentally, arise from a prenatal reaction, wherein there was a lack of the elements to cause the proper relationships, in those periods that followed soon after the connecting in the umbilical plexus and the lacteal duct - and the activities this makes with the whole of the nervous system.
5. These as we find may be materially aided, but it will necessitate a series of corrective measures to be taken.
6. As we find, these would be the first applications:
7. Begin with the Castor Oil Packs, but these would be prepared in a little different manner from some of such a nature as we have indicated for other individuals. About three times each week these should be applied, of an evening - and in this manner: Take a long strip of flannel that would bind AROUND the body AT LEAST THREE TIMES, or more! Massage over the abdomen, from the liver area to the lower portion of the caecum - especially on the right side - with Castor Oil. Then begin with one end of the flannel over this area, and wrap around the body. As it comes over this area again, massage or pour on Castor Oil over this area of the flannel, all it will take. Then wrap again, and on the next round cover the area in the same way and manner. Have the Oil warm; not hot, but warm, see?
8. Then place cloths over the area, and especially such as
2068-1 Page 2
oilcloth on the top, so as to prevent the saturating of an electric pad which would be placed over the area, to keep this as warm as the body can stand for at least an hour.
9. Then take this off, and sponge off the area with lukewarm soda water, or give the body a bath - but especially over this area.
10. Then rub into the area - over the liver, the caecum, and all along the right side, extending at least to the middle portion of the abdomen - Cocoa Butter.
11. Then rub this off again - that is, with a dry cloth, but first massage into the area all that the body will absorb.
12. Follow this whole procedure three times each week for at least six weeks, see? six whole weeks of this as the treatment.
13. Afterwards - then we would begin with the applications of the low electrical vibrations of the Wet Cell Appliance, which would carry into the system one day the vibrations from an Atomidine Solution, and the next day the vibrations of a Gold Solution.
14. When using the Atomidine - the small copper plate would be attached at the 3rd cervical, while the large nickel plate (through which the vibrations would pass from the Atomidine Solution, commercial strength) would be attached at the umbilical and lacteal duct plexus.
15. On the next day, when using the Gold - (and have different containers, different connections, but using the same Appliance) the small copper plate would be attached to the 9th dorsal plexus, while the large nickel plate - through which the vibration passes from the Gold Solution (in the proportions of one grain Chloride of Gold to each ounce of Distilled Water) - would be attached to the liver AND lacteal duct area, or - here - two fingers (three fingers of the mother) from the umbilical plexus, or the navel center, towards the right side - just a little above the direct area of same, toward the liver a little bit - a quarter to half an inch.
16. Each of these Solutions would be attached for thirty minutes, one used one day, the other the next.
17. After the Appliance has been used in the manner indicated for a week, then begin with osteopathic adjustments.
18. The adjustments or osteopathic treatments would be given with special reference to breaking up lesions in the caecum and gall duct area, and the correction necessary in the lumbar axis and the brachial center.
19. Do these for at least the whole period of one charge of
2068-1 Page 3
the Appliance (thirty days; renewing the Gold Solution on the fifteenth day, or after fifteen treatments).
20. Throughout the period keep rather the liquid and semi-liquid diets. No great quantities of sugars; no great quantities of starches as combinations; but plenty of vegetables and fruit juices, plenty of whole wheat cereals, rye and oat cereals. Of course, the foods would be cooked or prepared with butter. Plenty of milk and leafy vegetables. Meats, if they are taken at all, should consist of either fish, fowl or lamb.
21. Do these for at least the whole period of one charge of the Appliance, and then we would give further instructions.
22. Ready for questions.
23. We are through for the present. Copy to Mother " " Ass'n file " " Grandmother (12/22/39 GD's note: See ordinary directions [which were enclosed] for giving Castor Oil Packs; but follow the outline given in this Reading. See directions [which were enclosed] for Osteopath, when you are ready for these treatments. Let us have the name and address of the osteopath you choose, so we may put him on our mailing list. See article [which was enclosed] explaining theory of the Wet Cell Appliance, and where obtained. Let us know when the entire course has been followed as outlined, so we may make an appointment for a Check Physical to give further instructions. See enclosed application blank for Check Physical. At your convenience, please let us have a history of this case to the time of obtaining the Reading. This is valuable for our files, so we may have something with which to compare our information.) tion.)
