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, [2988].
3. As we find, there are disturbances that without correction may become rather serious - this, as we find, from more than one cause; that is, there are pathological conditions, there are psychological and pathological effects produced in the body.
4. These arise, we find, from glandular disturbance. The glands of the thyroid and the glands of the digestive system, or as related to the activity of the pancrean forces and the adrenals. These are causing an extra production of sugar, as well as the activities that cause disturbance to the superficial circulation - as on the epidermis or the skin, and the nails of feet and hands; blotches on portions of body.
5. We find that these may cause a great deal of disturbance in the tendons and muscular forces of the body - as indicated at times even now in the hips, the knees, the feet, and those pains through portions of the torso.
6. These are the sources, the causes of the disturbances with this body.
7. We may aid these in correction, if there are the responses in the body, and then the areas affected - with the proper attitudes of the body not only to the administrations but to its environs and activities.
8. We would begin by taking Atomidine internally; one drop in half a glass of water each morning before breakfast for five days.
9. Then leave off a week.
10. During that one week of leaving off the Atomidine, have two thorough hydrotherapy treatments and one colonic
2988-1 Page 2
irrigation. Each hydrotherapy treatments should include a Fume Bath (with Witchhazel), and a massage with an equal combination of Olive Oil and Peanut Oil.
11. The next week take again the Atomidine, but this time two drops in half a glass of water each morning before breakfast, for five days.
12. The next week have only one hydrotherapy treatment; and not necessarily a colonic, provided there has been the cleansing of the mucous from the colon. If there are indications of mucous in the last waters of the first colonic, then repeat the colonic this time, see?
13. These we would keep up, one week taking the Atomidine five days, the next week the hydrotherapy treatment. Do not have the two together, you see, but one taken one week, the other the next.
14. After the first round of taking the one drop dosage of Atomidine, always thereafter take two drops each morning for the five-day period, see? Just two drops each day for five days, every other week - having the hydrotherapy treatment every other week, in between the courses of Atomidine, see?
15. As to the diet:
16. Begin taking grape juice four times each day, about half an hour before each meal and at bedtime; three ounces of grape juice with one ounce of plain water - not carbonated water. Welch's grape juice is preferable. Do not take carbonated drinks.
17. Do not eat too much of starches.
18. Do not eat too much of any form of meats. Sea foods are the better, this at least two or three times each week; fowl, if other meats are taken.
19. Little of pod vegetables; that is, as dried beans, or as of white potatoes, or even yams, or onions, or the like.
20. But do take, at least once each day - not necessarily all at once - carrots, lettuce, celery, radish, mustard and such greens as are taken raw. These may be taken with oil or with any salad dressing to suit the taste.
21. Do not take much of cheeses of any kind. A little milk may be taken, but not too much of this - until there has been a reduction in the glandular forces tending to make for more weight.
22. Once each week we would use the Atomidine as a massage for the soles of the feet, and as a dressing for the toe nails. But do not use it on the finger nails, for it will discolor as it is used about the cuticle. But this will change the disturbance with ingrowing nails. Lift up the nail and put small parts of cotton saturated with Atomidine under the edge of the toenail. This dressed, as would be
2988-1 Page 3
the fingers in these ways, will change these conditions. Use this at least once each week.
23. Do these things for at least ten weeks; that is, including the weeks of the hydrotherapy treatments and the weeks of taking the Atomidine, and also one - perhaps two - colonic irrigations during that period.
24. Ready for questions.
25. (Q) Severe loose dandruff bothers me a great deal. What causes it in my case and how can I treat it or prevent it successfully? (A) This comes from a disturbance in the glandular forces, as indicated. Any good shampoo, preferably pure Castile or Tar Soap as a shampoo for this particular body.
26. (Q) I often find that I have difficulty in breathing - feel a kind of choking condition. What is the cause and cure of this? (A) This is the pressure from too much weight, for the body is at least thirty to forty pounds overweight.
27. (Q) When I have been lying down a while I find that I have to pull myself in somehow, very hard, in order to get up. (A) All of these effects, as we find, are covered in those suggestions given for correction. Do these, and at the end of ten weeks we will give further instructions.
28. We are through for the present. [See 2988-1, Par. R1 for dream EC had at the end of this rdg.] Copy to Self " " Ass'n file (See extra sheet [which was enclosed] of directions for Physiotherapist.
