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; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2582].
3. As we find, physical conditions are very good in the main.
4. There ARE some inclinations and disturbances in a direction that might become aggravating, unless corrected in the immediate.
5. These as we find have especially to do with the thyroid gland and its activity, and the secretions of same and their activity through the whole of the body.
6. With the rest of the system we find conditions very good save as they are influenced by this nature of condition, from some disturbances caused from or by this reaction.
7. We find that from same the blood supply is at times irregular, as to the pressure and as to the pulsation.
8. There are times when the nerve forces of the body become easily tired, so that there are those inclinations for conditions - after periods of rest - to cause more anxiety than pain, about the head, throat, and at times through the digestive forces of the body; even reflecting in the activity of other glandular forces as related to eliminations at Periods.
9. All of these, though, as we find, come as a culmination or combination of the effects arising from this insufficient activity.
10. Thus with the periods such as have been a part of the experience, when a great deal of sun and a great deal of the activity about sea, sand and sun is experienced, we find that the reactions are excellent for the body - IF there is
2582-1 Page 2
not a tendency to overdo same.
11. But we find that the better help, the better aid for overcoming these disturbances would be to take Atomidine for some three to five series; one minim (drop) in a glass of water each morning before breakfast for ten days. Then leave off five days. Then take for another series. Do this for at least three to four series.
12. Be mindful that there are the diets that carry full quantities of the vitamins that aid in the strength and body-building. These will be found in cereals, oranges, lemons, grapefruit, carrots, and all forms of the raw vegetables. These should be a considerable part of the body's diet.
13. Something like a week to two weeks after the last series of the Atomidine, we would begin (not before) and take ADIRON regularly; one pellet or tablet each day for a period of fifteen days, leave off five, and then take again - continuing in this manner for a period of at least sixty ninety days. This is a combination of the vital forces as will aid in body-adjustment for this body, with a purified glandular system.
14. Do these and, as we find, we will prevent a great deal of disturbance that may arise, and we will have bettered conditions throughout.
15. Ready for questions.
16. (Q) What causes and what should be done to correct general nervous condition which started around seven years ago? (A) This arises from the subluxed or submerged activity of the glandular forces, as indicated. Then, we need to purify the whole of the glandular system in the manner suggested, and then to add to the body-forces those vitamins that will assist in creating a normal balance in the physical forces of the body.
17. (Q) What has caused recent increase of hair on lips, and what should be done to remedy it? (A) This, again, is from an inactivity and the allowing for overactivity in certain portions of the thyroid gland. For, this is the portion, in its balance, that keeps the body-forces in balance, adding to or taking from the system that to aid in the growth of hair, of nails, and in keeping an equilibrium. So, with the corrections of these conditions, and there being then better indications and the correct flow of this glandular secretion, these should gradually disappear. For these conditions are usually such things as to correct the system, not any mechanical or chemical forces to remove these, see?
18. (Q) Should the electric needle be used to remove it?
2582-1 Page 3
the hair on lips? (A) No indeed!
19. (Q) What causes and what should be done for excessive dryness of skin? (A) This, again, shows the incoordination between the cerebrospinal and the superficial circulation, as indicated by the irregularity in the pulsation at times, which takes or draws a great deal of the flow of circulation from the superficial. With the taking of the properties indicated, we find that there will be brought about a coordination. However - specifically for the dry skin - we find it would be well once or twice a week to take almost a bath in Peanut Oil - but this more as a massage, to be sure. A small quantity - say two tablespoonsful - should be enough to make a complete massage. Do this over the whole body. Begin with the temples, the face, neck, shoulders, along the spine, limbs, arms - all parts of the body, and especially give this across the diaphragm area; that is, from the liver - or almost a circular portion of the body, see? This will make a GLOW and a circulation that will be most beneficial.
20. (Q) Is horseback riding harmful? (A) Not harmful, but not especially beneficial - until there is a change in the conditions in the glandular forces. A little bit later in the season - six weeks from now - it would be much better for such than in the present. Walking is the better exercise, as also the head and neck exercises taken morning and evening.
21. (Q) What should be done for immediate condition in head, apparently due to excessive sun on last Monday? (A) We would use those very things as we have indicated. But use Olive Oil as the rub in the hair, head, face, neck, arms, see? Do these, as we find; not as something to be done to be gotten through with, but massage all the body will absorb, see? For this, as it were, is food - and if the Peanut Oil is kept regularly, there will never be - or need never be any fear of neuritic or arthritic tendencies - which, of course, are a natural tendency where there is any glandular disturbance.
22. (Q) Can you recommend cosmetics for face until conditions becomes better? (A) Use the Black and White preparations. These are the most beneficial ones, but the GENUINE Black and White - not
2582-1 Page 4
Plough's. And these as we find have less harmful ingredients. [See 2582-1, Par. R1, R7 saying BLK & WHT. a div. of Plough's, and GENUINE a label only.]
23. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file le
