Time of Reading 11:00 to 11:20 A. M. Eastern War Time. ..., Ill.
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, [3005], present in this room.
3. As we find, there are conditions that are preventing the better physical functioning through the body.
4. The causes and the sources of the disturbance, we find, are far from the effect produced in the body.
5. This as we find arose in times back, from an unbalancing of the chemical forces of the body in the assimilating conditions; allowing the arterial bodies to become involved, as to allow seepages. Hence incoordination has been produced along centers in the spinal system, in the ganglia of the sympathetic and the voluntary and involuntary nerve reactions.
6. Thus the nerve flexes that should be controlled by sympathetic ganglia become involuntary; and thus the condition in the right portion of the body, especially, - the arm, the limbs.
7. There is NOT, as we find, any brain lesion, but rather the ganglia in the areas that control the locomotory flexes.
8. Thus there are periods - as when at rest, as when at ease - when this involuntary reflex does NOT occur.
9. These, then, in their reactions, are the deflection of control of nerve forces that direct the activity of the ganglia between cerebrospinal and sympathetic nervous system.
10. The areas where the pressures occur in the present are in portions of the lumbar axis, that control those flexes from the knee and thigh; while those in the upper area - in the 6th to the 4th dorsal - control the activities to the
3005-1 Page 2
arm and muscular forces.
11. To be sure, there are deflections also through other areas.
12. We find that these may be materially aided, if there is the consistent and the persistent application of those influences which as we find may bring the balance in the chemical forces of the assimilating system, as well as controlling those damages already done to the ganglia and nerve plexus.
13. So, each phase of this should be taken into consideration when applications are made for betterment of the condition with this body.
14. We would have - daily, preferably when the body is ready to retire - a gentle massage along either side of the cerebrospinal system with a combination of (these proportions) two ounces of Peanut Oil and a quarter teaspoonful of dissolved Lanolin. At each period massage into the body all that it will absorb.
15. At least every other day include in the massage the brachial center, and across to the shoulders, and up to the point of the shoulder blade, and in the LUMBAR center - entirely across the upper portion of the hip bones, and down the sciatic nerve. When massaging the arm, extend along the inside of the arm, and especially to the centers inside of the elbow.
16. This should not be done just to be gotten through with, but gently, firmly, EXPECTING and giving the best in the application of self while the oils are being massaged into the body.
17. We would take internally small quantities of Chloride of Gold. To be sure, this is poison - but in the quantity indicated here, and in the manner taken, it should build with the assimilating system sufficient of the stamina in nerve and nerve plexus to control the activities of same. Take in very small quantities, not too often, but in this manner; preparing two solutions:
18. Add one grain Chloride of Gold to one ounce of distilled water. This would be one solution.
19. Add two grains of Bromide of Soda to one ounce of distilled water. This would be the other solution.
20. Keep these separate until the dosage is to be taken. Then:
21. Every other day, at bedtime, take one drop of the Gold Solution and two drops of the Soda Solution, in half a glass of water.
22. Keep this up at least until there is indication of the improvement, or until necessary for further directions.

23. As the body gains the better use, loses those tendencies for the inability to control the muscular centers, then these properties would be gradually diminished and left off entirely.
24. As to the diet:
25. Include each day SOME form or manner of sea foods.
26. Do include often - three or four times a week - beets and carrots. Prepare these in varied manners, all save with any vinegar or acid with same. The carrots may be eaten cooked and raw. Cook the beets and eat the tops cooked with same.
27. These, combined with regular foods, and most of the vegetables, fruits and the like.
28. And we will find that if these are applied - together - beneficial results will come to this body.
29. Ready for questions.
30. (Q) How can I change my mode of living to be stronger and more helpful to my family? (A) As the disorder and disturbance has caused the greater part of the changes in the present, we find that as conditions improve, and as the opportunities are given, the body may apply self in those directions that are given from time to time. For, each entity should be a channel of blessing and of helpfulness to others. Little has been given here as to the attitude, for this special reason; for the body in itself as to its mental attitude is well. For, to be of help to others is the ideal of the entity. Keep that. Never as of a self glory, but to the glory of the Son in the Father, and to the honor of self.
31. (Q) What have I done, or what thoughts have I had, to cause this thing to happen? (A) As indicated, this rather from the lack of keeping the proper chemical balance in the system; and has caused - through the assimilating system - a thinning of the walls, and that has caused a strain on the nerve ganglia, broken tissue. Hence the need of the massage daily, in the manner indicated.
32. (Q) Do the organs of the body function correctly? (A) Save as indicated, as related to liver. As we find, these will be altered by the change in diet and by the change in the chemical forces needed in the system. Do that, and we will find bettered conditions for this body.

33. (Q) When you say sea foods, do you mean salt water or fresh water? (A) Salt water, not fresh water fish. It is the iodine that is needed in the body, WITH the gold. This is better than being taken even in the form of non-poisonous iodine. If the fish or sea food disagrees, we would change - but these as we find, if prepared properly, will agree - not fresh water but salt water fish.
34. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file (5/17/43 GD's note: Peanut Oil may be bought at most any drug store (as at Meredith's, 17th St., Va. Beach), or it may be ordered by the gallon from: Planters Peanut Co., Suffolk, Virginia. Lanolin may be bought separately and added in the proportions indicated.) )
