1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving 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, [2912].
3. In giving that as we find might be helpful for this body, all phases and the causes of same should be understood.
4. We find there are disturbing pathological conditions. There are disturbances also that may contribute to this disturbance of a pathological nature, or conditions builded in the mind that are contributing to the general debilitation of the body.
5. These, then, in this light, are conditions as we find them with this body, [2912].
6. The blood supply indicates a breaking down of a general resistance. But this is more from the general toxic forces than from organic disturbances. True, there are accumulations, segregations in the body. But if there is kept that attitude of expectancy as related to beneficial helps as may be had by the correct changes being wrought, and the general health and those conditions related to same built up, better eliminations established, we find there might be much better conditions and many years of useful activity.
7. These toxic forces naturally have their effect upon general conditions through the body. These also, with the debilitation, may become contributory conditions to segregations. But these need not necessarily become active in the deterioration in the physical forces.
8. Pressures from the toxic forces affect the organs of the sensory forces in the present, as indicated in the condition in eyes, in that as related to the manner of the effect of tastes and odors upon the olfactory nerves of the body. These are rather symptoms. But, to be sure, as related to
2912-1 Page 2
the eyes and the usage of same, they may become very disturbing at times. But if there is the building up of the general health of the body, building of better resistances, and the setting up of better eliminations, through the system - the lack of which causes aggravation to the heart, lungs, liver or kidneys - we would correct a great deal of disturbance with the nerve deflections affecting the centers of the sympathetic activities of organs of the sensory forces. And the general health, as related to abilities for activity, for assimilation and the like - and the ability to carry on more in a normal manner, may be better established through the system.
9. As we find, these corrections might be better done through the use of hydrotherapy treatments - and the lights that will aid in producing to the nerve impulse, as well as to blood flow, a greater stability of assimilating proper foods in the body. These treatments we would give at least once a week for some three to four weeks at a time, and then periods of rest from same for some two or three weeks, and then again such applications.
10. The hydrotherapy should include not heavy sweats, not a great deal of temperature, but a little dry heat with the fume baths. The fume baths should include, preferably, the witchhazel; followed with a massage and rubdown with this combination of oils: Olive Oil...........................2 ounces, Peanut Oil..........................2 ounces, Lanolin, dissolved................1/4 ounce. Shake well together.
11. After such treatments give the ultra-violet; this especially over the area of the central portion of the body from the back. Project the green light between the ultra-violet and the body. Not more than two minutes of the treatment. Do not give the ultra-violet without the green light. Have the green light about twelve to fourteen inches from the body.
12. Then the diet: Keep extra amounts of the Vitamins A, D and B-1; depending, of course, upon the quality or character of foods as to whether reinforcement in the form of concentrated vitamins should be taken. As we find, we would take the A and D every other day in the concentrated form, and the B-1 every day. Especially for this body we would use the One A Day brand, but taking the A and D only every other day, the B-1 every day. These not during the times there are rest periods from the hydrotherapy treatments.

For, the rest periods from the concentrated vitamins, with the regular diets, are as necessary for the betterment of the body as the periods when these are taken.
13. We would have the surroundings of the body of those things that are active forces, as much as practical; that is, in company with those doing things, going places.
14. And keep in the open whenever the weather and the environs permit.
15. These, as we find, should bring better conditions for this body.
16. Change glasses only after there has been at least a series of three to four weeks of such treatments. And, as we find, there will not be necessitated much change - until at least the second series is taken.
17. Ready for questions.
18. (Q) Does the climate affect her health and would she have better health if she were in Iowa? (A) As we find, of course, with the pressures, the climate does affect the health; but with the changes and the treatments indicated, there may be the better adjustment of the body to the present environs. And we would not change until there is at least some improvement, or in the early spring.
