Time of Reading 11:20 to 11:30 A. M. Eastern War Time. ..., Ohio.
1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with further suggestions for corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes - we have had this body before.
3. Some indiscretions, as well as hot weather, and certain conditions to which the body becomes allergic.
4. DO NOT work in any portion of plant where the dust of aluminum is flying. For this will CONTINUE to irritate the hands.
5. As we find, now, we would do these, for the conditions:
6. About once a week, or once in ten days, DO have the osteopathic adjustments - this in the main to set up better drainages through the alimentary canal. For, a portion of the disturbance is the effect of the incoordination between the superficial and internal circulation. Thus poisons and accumulations produce those forms of the skin irritation.
7. We would apply externally a mild antiseptic. Wash off with Glyco-Thymoline. Then apply Ray's Prescription for treatment of eczema (the salve).
8. Each day we would take internally a small can of Watercress. This may be taken at two meals or at one meal, but take a small can each day.
9. Do take the Yellow Saffron Tea to aid the digestive forces, the stomach proper, to relieve those tensions from the effect of absorption through the irritations in same, that cause a great deal of disturbance.
10. Do keep away from the dust of aluminum. For this body, foods should not be cooked in aluminum, but rather in enamel or glassware.
11. Do that, for the better conditions of this body.
12. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) Should I stay out of the sun and heat? (A) Except in the early morning or late in the afternoon.
14. (Q) Does Vitamin B-Complex help? (A) Vitamin B-Complex helps, but it is best for this to be taken AFTER the poisons have been eliminated somewhat from
2518-3 Page 2
the system. Do the rest of these indicated, and then in the course of ten days to two weeks begin the vitamins.
15. (Q) What effect does cigarette smoking, coffee, beer, fresh tomatoes, have on this condition? (A) There is no disadvantage for the body in either cigarette smoking or coffee, in moderation. But ALL of those such as beer or any carbonated drinks DO NOT TAKE! Fresh tomatoes should not be harmful for the body.
16. (Q) What specific areas should be treated osteopathically? (A) As indicated, have these to set up drainages through the alimentary canal. That's the upper dorsal area and through portions of the cervical. Of course, then, kneading the abdomen and the stomach itself. The 6th dorsal area, especially.
17. We are through for the present. Two copies to Self (one for Dr. Smith) Copy to Ass'n file (7/17/43 GD's notes: Ray's Ointment for Treatment of Eczema, sells for $1 a jar, and is manufactured and distributed by Ray Chemical Co., 1001-3rd St., Roanoke, Va. Rolle Watercress Macerate, a diffusion of cultivated watercress, is made by Vegetable Juices, Inc., Chicago, Ill. and sells for 20 cents a can. You may be able to obtain this locally, however.
