Time of Reading 10:35 to 11:10 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., N.C.
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, we have the body here, [2161]; those conditions physically and mentally as disturb and surround the activities of this body.
3. As we find, in the physical forces there are those conditions rather of which warnings would be given - as to the tendencies and inclinations, and as to how - without making some corrections - the destructive forces are to be the result of conditions physical and mental which exist in the body at present.
4. These are rather of the specific nature, yet their effect is upon the system in such a manner that it is often called or said to be a predisposition, or the lack of will power in the physical actions, and in the conditions having to do with appetites in the body.
5. Then, these are conditions as we find them with this body, [2161] we are speaking of, present in this room:
6. In the blood supply there are the indications of the effects of such stimulations that are quite destructive to the physical functioning of organs that are becoming involved, by the use of such stimulations.
7. Also there are those conditions existing in the glandular system that are gradually becoming more and more involved by the continued use of such, or by the abuse of the conditions in the system.
8. There are those physical conditions which are the basis or cause of such a desire in the mental to react upon the organs of the system, as to produce the inordinate or unusual desire in the direction for supplying those stimulations to the system that would - and do - become so detrimental; not only to the body-physical but to the
2161-1 Page 2
mental, taking away those influences that supply the necessary nutriment, so that eventually the system must become wrecked by such.
9. We find that there are TWO existent specific or direct causes.
10. In the 6th and 7th dorsal center we find a subluxation that was caused sometime back, by an outside influence or strain to that area, which caused an excess flow of conditions in the form of nerve impulse to the digestive system, that calls for appetite satisfaction.
11. Then, in the glands of the body - in the adrenals - there is the lacking in sufficient supply to the system for the coordination between the cerebrospinal and the sympathetic nerve centers, that are active through the coordinating center of same at the base of the brain.
12. Hence we find there are periods or conditions in which the body will swear, declare to self he WILL not - and yet with the associations, the environ that offers the opportunity, these become impelling influences as of a possession by those forces that will supply that lacking in the glandular reaction, and that which satisfies the appetite for the excess of flow through the natures indicated.
13. Then, these are sapping the nerve impulse, and will not only produce a physical distortion but eventually must so affect the mental body as to become incapable of taking care of or directing its own affairs.
14. This, as indicated then, is of a physical and of a mental process - as is apparent in the system - which causes conditions that, unless corrected or changed, must cut short the activities and abilities for a developing such as is the privilege and the opportunity of this body in its physical functioning and in its relationships to its fellow men, in its relationships to the creative forces or the God-force within self.
15. As we find, then, these must all be taken into consideration, when there are applications made which would enable the body to alleviate, or assist the body in alleviating the desire, and also supply those influences or forces within the body-physical and the body-mental that will give the opportunities and the abilities to throw off same; also replacing same with a physical activity that will enable the body to take its rightful, normal, nominal place in the activities of its home, its associates, and with its fellow man.
16. First, then, there must be specific corrections made - from the physical angle, to be sure - in the cerebrospinal
2161-1 Page 3
system. These corrections should be made osteopathically. WE would suggest an osteopath who is in sympathy with the SOURCES of these suggestions for helpful forces in the body.
17. There would be required some eight or ten adjustments for full correction. These we would take about twice each week.
18. As indicated, make correction in the 6th dorsal area; COORDINATING, to be sure, the rest of the areas along the cerebrospinal system with same. Of course, with this subluxation, there will be found a tenderness in the 4th lumbar area and in the upper cervical - where there is and has been at times even an enlargement in the segments in that portion of the body.
19. Then, there must also be the addition to the system of those properties that will enable the functioning of the system to supply the lack in the clarifying of the system, and assisting in taking away the appetites for destructive forces within the body itself.
20. For short periods of time, then - that is for five days at a time, and then a rest period from same of five days, - we would take internally a combination of Gold and Soda. Prepare two solutions, in this manner:
21. The Gold Solution would be in the proportions of one grain Chloride of Gold to one ounce Distilled Water.
22. The Soda Solution would be in the proportions of three grains Bromide of Soda to one ounce Distilled Water.
23. The dosage would be twice each day, of morning before any meal is taken, and of evening before retiring; one drop of the Gold Solution and two drops of the Soda Solution, in half a glass of water.
24. Keep this up for five days; then leave off for five days.
25. After the five day rest period from taking the Gold and Soda internally - we would attach to the body each evening for twenty minutes the electrical vibrations from a Dry Cell Battery, which would be prepared so as to carry the Gold Solution (not the same solution as taken internally, of course, for this would be prepared in a little different manner), into the body itself. This is to be so prepared that there are plates, with long wires from the Battery, see? One is to be of nickel, the other of copper. The nickel plate, with the wire so arranged that it passes through the Gold Solution (in the proportion of fifteen grains Chloride of Gold to four ounces of Distilled Water), with a lead wire lead, would be attached to the umbilical and lacteal duct plexus, or just four fingers from the umbilical plexus towards the right side - two fingers up in
2161-1 Page 4
direct line from the umbilical center on the right side, see? while the copper plate would be attached to the lower portion of the 9th dorsal center. This attachment would be made each evening for twenty minutes, for ten days. Change the Gold Solution every fifteen days, or after fifteen applications.
26. Then leave this off and take the Gold and Soda internally again - and so on.
27. Now, as to the diet through these periods:
28. Take plenty of raw vegetables - especially plenty of canned or raw or fresh tomatoes; plenty of carrots, celery and lettuce. These would not be the only things, to be sure, but these should be the greater part of one meal each day.
29. Keep away from BEEF! Fish, fowl and lamb are to be taken as meats.
30. Have plenty of cooked vegetables also.
31. DO NOT take any alcoholic drinks! These will make the body ill, if taken AFTER there has been at least a series of the osteopathic corrections and of the Gold in the system.
32. Then, in the mental attitude - this, to be sure, is the better or the real portion of the entity or body; for the mind is the builder. Here one finds self - as this body - body, mind, soul. We have a deficiency in body, an overstimulation, and a deficiency in the mental processes of coordination between body, mind and soul. WILL is the factor, the birthright of each entity, each soul. Ye may not be able of thyself, but in the application of those influences indicated (which are of God's creation), to stimulate the BODILY functions to normal, and the will set in that direction to trust in Him who is the Maker, the Creator of all that is good, pure and perfect, ye may accomplish that which will enable the body, the mind and the soul to coordinate as necessary to carry on as it is capable of doing, in such measures as to bring the greater, the better influences for good into the experience of this body.
33. Do not attempt to do one portion of the treatment without the other. If the body doesn't make up its MIND to give God an opportunity, through an honest, sincere trial in the manners indicated, then it will be as He indicated, of those who would offend one of the little ones.
34. Ye have the opportunity, ye have those surroundings, ye have those opportunities for making and becoming that which has been thy desire, thy hope. Give God a chance with thy soul. For He hath not willed that any soul should perish, but hath with every temptation prepared a way, a manner. For as His promise has been, "If ye call, I will HEAR!" and
2161-1 Page 5
will answer speedily.
35. Forsake not that which is set before thee. Make thy paths straight. Ye CAN in Him.
36. And when this has been accomplished, within the next six to ten months, there will be ways opened for thee to carry on in thy associations, thy activities with thy fellow man, that will bring harmony and truth in thy life, thy home, thy associations.
37. Ready for questions.
38. (Q) For how long a period should this outlined treatment be continued? (A) Until there is no desire for the return to drink.
39. (Q) Would it be advisable for me to get in a different kind of work? (A) As indicated, see self in the light of its possibilities, its real abilities; and within that time as indicated conditions will open for thee. For is not the earth the Lord's and the fullness thereof? Are not the silver and the gold His, and the cattle upon the hills? Isn't it true, then, that if thou puttest thyself in His hands ye will be able to live that way among thy fellow man? Be true to thyself, and to that promise ye make when ye undertake to apply His forces, His ways in the earth, to make that association in the body and mind; then live it in thy home, in thy associations with others.
