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, [2645].
3. Now as we find, in the present the conditions have become somewhat a complication of disturbances, involving the circulation, the activities of the body and the general physical as well as mental reactions of the body.
4. These are conditions as we find them, then, with this body, [2645]:
5. In giving that as may be helpful or beneficial, all of the disturbances must be taken into consideration - from their inception or source.
6. The disturbance began from a catarrhal condition in the nasal passages and the antrum. From this condition there was set up a dripping, or an excretion that became an inflammatory influence to the gastric flow in the stomach or those portions of the stomach - the upper or cardiac portion.
7. These were the periods when there were the antrum AND nasal passage troubles, and some disturbance or upsets in the digestive system.
8. Following this these turned into a condition through the duodenum and liver. These caused the periods of some temperature, some colds and congestion following one after the other, with an upsetting through the eliminations of the body. And there were irritations also to the superficial circulation.
9. All of these now combine, through the disturbances that have been created by the lack of the proper assimilating of activities into the lymph and emunctory circulation, to make the involvements in the muscular tissue, to the lymph circulation in throat and face, and the stomach AND the
2645-1 Page 2
liver itself.
10. These are the causes, the sources AND the disturbances.
11. While the administrations which have been made from time to time have relieved temporarily, these have NOT been in the direction to alleviate the sources and the disturbances produced in the functioning of the organs of the body, and the disturbance in the sources of the inflammation.
12. Now there is the stiffness in joints - as hands, ankles, knees, feet, and in neck and face, as well as - still - those troubles through the inability of proper assimilation in the body building.
13. Then, in making administrations for beneficial conditions for this body, we would follow through on ALL of these, if there will be brought the better relief for this body:
14. First, begin with the application of Castor Oil Packs over the liver area, for at least an hour each day for three days. Use at least three thicknesses of flannel, preferably old flannel - not new. This would be saturated in Castor Oil and applied over the liver area. Let this extend well over the liver AND the caecum area on the right side. Apply as warm as can be well stood, and then apply the electric pad - after covering same so as to prevent soiling of linens or the clothing, and allow this to remain on at low heat for the full period.
15. Rest for three days, then have the Oil Packs again for three days, one hour each day.
16. During the three-day rest period from the Packs we would have a good, thorough hydrotherapy treatment - at Reilly's. This would include a colonic irrigation, then a steam bath, - this more a fume bath than steam or dry heat. But in a dry air cabinet have the fumes of Witchhazel. Afterward the body would be massaged thoroughly, and preferably with Peanut Oil.
17. After the second series of the Packs we would have another complete hydrotherapy treatment. Following THIS hydrotherapy treatment, begin with the electrical treatment applying to the body the electrical forces that stimulate the circulation - the electricity applied through the hands, by the one making this massage AFTER the whole hydrotherapy and massage treatment has been given. Do not in the first days apply this to head or face, but more particularly to the area across the diaphragm and the liver AND along the cerebrospinal system. Do not give this too strong nor too long.
18. Keep these up until eight or ten such treatments have been given. These would be following, of course, the Castor
2645-1 Page 3
Oil Packs and all the others of the hydrotherapy save the colonic - which may not be necessary after the second, third or the fourth, if all the mucous has been eliminated from the colon area.
19. After this keep up the massage with the Peanut Oil, which would be done then every other day.
20. In the matter of the diet - keep to plenty of those foods in which Vitamins A, D and B-1 are more prevalent.
21. Do these and we should bring better conditions for this body.
22. Do these in an attitude of prayer. Let the helpful forces that are brought to the body be put to creative, helpful influence in the experiences of others.
23. Ready for questions.
24. (Q) Is there any trouble due to teeth, or condition of teeth? (A) This as we find is more a result of other troubles than producing the trouble. After there has been a completion of these series of treatments, we would have local attention for teeth and gums.
25. We are through for the present. Two copies to Self (one for the Physiotherapist, marking the treatments he is to give: Dr. H. J. Reilly, R.C.A. Bldg., 1250 Sixth Ave., New York City) Copy to Ass'n file (See directions [which were enclosed] for preparing Castor Oil Packs.) .)
