Time of Reading 3:40 to 3:55 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Va.
1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2302]; this we have had before.
3. As we find, the general physical forces of the body continue to show much improvement from that as we have had here before.
4. While the more specific conditions (as with the eyesight) do not as yet indicate a great deal of response, we find that these, too, show improvement - in that there is no inflammation, and that now there may be added other forces, as poisons are eliminated and strength is gained, so we may see a great deal more response in this direction also.
5. We would still keep to those things that have been suggested for the general conditions of the body; keeping the better eliminations as well as adhering to those influences that give strength and vitality, aiding to build up better nerve forces and nerve energies.
6. Now, we would add the Violet Ray (hand machine, bulb applicator) from the 9th dorsal to the base of the brain, and around the head - but not over the eyes as yet; rather around the lower portion of the ear, even back of the ear, and to the temple. Do this each evening when ready to retire, for about a minute or minute and a half. Do not hurry through, but make a slow, thorough application up and down either side of the spine, and then to that portion of the head as indicated.
7. Keep these especially, now, for the next six to eight weeks. Then we will give changes that may be wrought for the body.
8. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) Is there anything that can be done to hasten the return of eyesight? (A) Let's rather make haste slowly. Let's remove the
2302-2 Page 2
disturbances that hinder, or the causes, rather than attempting to enliven too quickly the optic reactions. But the general nerve conditions and the general body forces must be builded, if this would be helped in a consistent way and manner.
10. (Q) Was this rupture caused by violent coughing? What can be done to help or cure it? (A) Apply those things suggested here; that we may remove the strictures as caused by the cellular forces making an adherence in portions of the body. This we will gradually replace; and not hasten too much, but in keeping with the best conditions, see?
11. (Q) What has caused the condition of the right foot? and what can be done to help or cure it? (A) This as we find is merely a reflex condition. A gentle massage in the lumbar area would be the better, and - of course - those things locally that tend to ease or stimulate circulation there.
12. (Q) What is this rash on the legs and what will help? (A) Lack of the proper elimination of poisons as arise from the adherence of tissue through the body, see? The keeping quiet, and in the open, stimulating the eliminations the better, will remove this the best. For the eliminations, we would alternate between the vegetable compounds and the mineral compounds - to stimulate better alimentary canal eliminations.
13. (Q) Should any local application be used? (A) Local applications will not injure, provided these are not such that when absorbed would cause greater irritation. Any that is a good local antiseptic would be well. D.D.D. Prescription - in the liquid, would be very good.
14. (Q) Should Atomidine be continued over such a long period of time? (A) Keep the Atomidine until at least six weeks longer, - in the mild form, though, as we have indicated - that is, the small dosage.
15. (Q) What can be done to increase appetite? (A) Better had it be considered as to what may be done to assist in better assimilation. We would not worry so much about this, as long as there is the strength being gained, see? When there are better ways of mastication, and the better activities through the body in the way of eliminations, the appetite will be sufficient.
16. (Q) What can be done about the indigestion? (A) That as indicated. Any solvent would be well, as any
2302-2 Page 3
that does not carry too much soda but that is a digestant in its nature. The better would be to take about three times a week, with or right after a meal, half a teaspoonful of Milk of Bismuth and six drops of Elixir of Lactated Pepsin stirred in a glass of water. Or, smaller doses may be taken more often - especially of the Pepsin - if there is a severe case or attack of indigestion. To be sure, this will necessitate the taking of an eliminant the same day or day afterward; as a mineral or a vegetable compound, see?
17. (Q) Would it help to have the teeth fitted now, or should I wait? (A) As soon as the gums are sufficiently healed, it would be well. For, this will assist, of course, in better mastication; and better mastication - or the use of the salivary glands - would produce better gastric flow, which makes better digestion, see?
18. (Q) Would the Cabinet Sweat be better than the blanket, for the sweats? (A) The Cabinet, of course, would be better. For, with the blanket there tends to be that infusion of activities as to cause irritation to the superficial circulation - or more of the rash, see?
19. (Q) Any further advice? (A) Do these things as we have indicated, and then - in six to eight weeks - we would begin with other applications as may be suggested.
