1. MHB: Now, the body is assuming its normal forces and will be able and will give such information as is desired of it at present. The body physical will be perfectly normal and will give that information now. Now, you will have before you the body of [3007], ..., New York City. You will go over this body carefully and give us the conditions you find at the present time, giving a thorough and detailed diagnosis, giving the cause of the conditions existing at the present time and the relief and cure for same. You will speak slowly and distinctly. You will answer what questions I may ask.
2. EC: We have the body here. Now we find there are those conditions that have to do with the functioning of glands and the reflex conditions that these physical defects have with the body, causing disturbances that are changeable in their nature. Hence the subtleness of the condition. These then are the conditions as we find them with this body of Mrs. [3007] that we are speaking of.
3. First, in the blood supply, the effects as are produced here show that the reaction in the system is of that nature causing an acid in the system and that these reactions to various portions of the system give those reflexes especially in the eliminations.
4. In the nerve system, here we find much that may be said as respecting those vibrations or those of the impulse produced in the system from pressures in the lower lumbar region and these, with those conditions brought about in other portions of the body, give off those vibrations for the body producing the distress.
5. In the functioning of the organs, many reflexes occur, some not of the secondary nature. These are seen especially in the action of the locomotaries in their reflex and in the assimilation produced in the central nervous system.

6. To meet the needs of these conditions here, as we would find:
7. First, relieve that pressure as is produced in the lumbar and sacral region so that the reflexes and impulses from this portion of the body would coordinate with the central nervous system, and apply, for the replenishing of those conditions produced in the glands in their effect to the body, those properties and would be found in chloride gold.
8. These will bring the better condition for this body.
9. Do that.
10. (Q) How serious is this condition from which this patient suffers? (A) Rather that of the tedious drawn-out condition than that of the specific or of the acute condition.
11. (Q) Is she likely to recover? (A) Were these conditions, as we find, accorded and the vibrations kept up that would so increase the vibratory forces of sympathetic and of the glands as secrete for the proper replenishing of the system, so that assimilation takes place and so that the reaction of the body would be nearer normal.
12. (Q) Which part of the glandular system is affected? (A) That which runs through the entire system with the base at the lower portion of the brain, hence the reflexes in many of these, and the pressure in the lower lumbar causes this dissemination throughout the rest of the body. Applying heat to the body with such manipulation would release those pressures. Apply the gold in small quantities, as that of 15 grains to 15 ounces of water, and give only one to two drops to begin with. We will see reactions to the whole system. Do that.
13. (Q) Manipulations to the lower lumbar meaning just what? (A) With the relaxing of the lower portions of the body with heat, the manipulation would have the effect of stimulation and releasing pressure produced in the fourth dorsal or fourth lumbar and dorsal reflex in this body.
14. (Q) Should the heat be applied with diathermy or with hot water bags or wet, or how? (A) The wet heat will cause better response.
15. (Q) What diet is best suited to this case? (A) Preferably that of the vegetable that carries much of the replenishing without creating acidity, and these may be taken in small quantity and often.
16. (Q) Is it true, as has been diagnosed by physicians, that this is a malignant type and very likely to prove fatal?
3007-1 Page 3
(A) Not malignant as yet, as we would see; rather that condition wherein there is improper incentive from pressure and from conditions as existing throughout the system of confined impulses, and release and rebuilding for glands would bring the result that would bring better condition - not a whole healing, a better condition, an easier condition for this body.
17. (Q) What is the mental status of this case? (A) The mental condition is as up and down. At times, hopeful in self. Again, very, very much opposite.
18. (Q) What is the origin of this case? What caused these conditions to come about? (A) This was produced by condition in pelvis and the reaction from the prenatal effects of conditions for the body. These combined brought about this, and then lesion formed causing pressure. Do as given if we would bring the better condition for this body.
19. We are through for the present.
