Time of Reading 10:50 to 11:10 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., New York.
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, [2305].
3. Now as we find, there are many conditions that are very good, especially as related to the functionings of the organs of the body; yet there are disturbances which at times cause a great deal of distress. And these for the most part CAN be relieved, thus giving a much better physical body for the functioning of the mental and spiritual forces of the body.
4. For, there ARE before this body many opportunities for bearing witness as to the activity of Creative Forces through this material plane.
5. These, then, are conditions as we find them with this body, [2305] we are speaking of, present in this room:
6. First, in the blood supply - we find this very good, as indicated from the functioning of organs, especially as related to the diets that have been a part of the experiences of the body. Yet, owing to strains, stresses produced upon the structural portions of the body, through those segments in the cerebrospinal system as well as the ligaments and tissues in the locomotories, we find that the blood becomes at times charged with excesses of dross, or of used tissue NOT at all times eliminated.
7. Hence in the nerve system we find the sources, or the greater stresses that cause discomfort to the body at times.
8. Owing to the nature and the positions of the nerve centers as related to the locomotion, especially in the lumbar, sacral and coccyx area, and the limbs as related to the sciatic, there are those indications of scar tissue as related to lymph and emunctory activities - as combined with the blood force - that, with atmospheric pressure,
2305-1 Page 2
changes, certain disturbances or distresses - either the easily unbalanced assimilating forces of the body or the lack of perfect elimination - easily cause disturbances and distresses through pressures; thus hindering the body in its locomotion and activity.
9. As to the functioning of the organs - we find there are opportunities through the mental forces and abilities of the body, as indicated, for a great deal of good.
10. Through the discernments for the mental and physical reaction, a great deal of gain has come to the body for better mental and spiritual understanding of purposes and relationships of individual activity in the material world.
11. Thus we find, though there are physical disturbances, reflexes are oft in the positions of functioning the better by sheer will, AND the flow of better energies by the MANNER of attitude and activity of the mental and physical forces of the body.
12. The ORGANS throughout are VERY good, save as indicated that at times the eliminations become somewhat clogged or disturbed.
13. The administrations that have been made for assisting in correcting these disturbances have been VERY good; though we do not find that these have reached quite deep enough to eliminate the causes, and to correct the disturbed conditions where there have been the injuries through the structural, ligament and tendon portions of the system, such as to overcome and to meet the needs for the better conditions of the body.
14. Then, in making administrations for the body:
15. First, we would not alter those purposes as to the diet, nor the oft turning to the raw vegetables and fruits as an aid to the better balance and better elimination, and better supply for renewing energies in the system. We would adhere to these in the regular periods, and as consistently as practical.
16. Before the attempts for the corrections by mechano-therapy (which as we find might be better made by the NATUROPATHIC adjustments), we would have the light Fume Baths. These we would have once each week, one time using Atomidine fumes (three-fourths teaspoonful of Atomidine to the pint of water used in the Fume Bath - as in a Cabinet Sweat or Sheet Gown, using the fume cup, croup cup or the like and allowing the fumes to settle over the body), and the next time using Witchhazel (a level teaspoonful to the pint of water for the fumes).
17. Following such a Fume Bath give the adjustment, followed by a rubdown with Peanut Oil; especially in the areas of the
2305-1 Page 3
lumbar, the sacral, the coccyx, and ALL the way down the spine - what the body will absorb of Peanut Oil.
18. Two adjustments would be given each week; one a general treatment, and the other following the Fume Bath - followed by the Peanut Oil rub.
19. As an aid to equalizing the circulation through the body, we would use the Radio-Active Appliance. Use this whenever tired, or when desiring to sleep well. Keep the attachment plates very clean. When this is applied, use that period for meditation and prayer. In thy own words, let this be as the basis of thy meditation:
20. "FATHER - MOTHER GOD! USE THOU ME AND MY ABILITIES IN THE WAY AND MANNER THOU SEEST FIT! LET MY PURPOSE AND MY DESIRE, IN EVERY WAY, IN EVERY DAY, BE IN KEEPING WITH THY WILL - IN JESUS' NAME!"
21. Doing these, consistently, we should find in a few months better activities of the body, the relief from the distress at those periods of atmospheric pressure, and the ability to use the limbs in an active way and manner.
22. Do that.
23. Ready for questions.
24. (Q) Will following this treatment eliminate lameness? (A) Will eliminate the lameness, and the body can become a very good danseuse if she so desires!
25. (Q) Should I go on with the osteopathic treatments I have been having? (A) As indicated, those more of the naturopathic nature would be better; though the osteopath who has given these is extra good. If he will combine with his treatments those others as indicated, at least once each week, it would be very well.
26. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file (See extra sheet of directions [which was enclosed] for doctor.) r.)
