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: (In locating the body - "That's beautiful shrubbery" - )
3. Yes - we have the body here, [3009].
4. As we find, there are disturbing conditions. These have been, as to causes, of long standing.
5. There have been times when improvements have come, and then apparently the lapsing - with some minor change - into the same disturbances.
6. These are not so much of an inflammatory nature in the present as they have been at times.
7. This condition as we find is the crystallization of most all forms of any foods that have certain potential elements or salts in them. And this causes the contraction and the hardening of the nerve tendons, and the sinew, especially in the extremities - as to become disturbing to the locomotion and to the general activity.
8. In the chemical forces of the body we find that the system is lacking principally in iodine.
9. Thus, as we find, these would be the most beneficial applications. Now, this will require patience and persistence. Then at times - just before the period for the sweats - the condition will apparently be more serious. But after the third of such sweats we find that improvements should come to the body, and the disturbance should gradually diminish in the severity.
10. Begin in this manner:
11. Take internally one drop of Atomidine in half a glass of water each morning before breakfast, for three days. Then take three drops each morning for two days. Then take four
3009-1 Page 2
drops each morning for two days. Then take five drops each morning for two days.
12. This would be the first series, you see.
13. The next day, after completing this series, take an Epsom Salts Bath, in a saturated solution of Epsom Salts. Use at least fifteen pounds to fifty gallons of water, as warm as the body can well stand. Be sure there is an attendant, and that the body is massaged - especially in the limbs - arms and hands and feet - while it is in this bath. Remain in this as long as the body can without becoming too weak - at least twenty minutes.
14. Then, when taken out of the bath, have a rubdown, - first with Pure Peanut Oil - along the limbs and along the spine, and then followed with a GRAIN alcohol rub; that is, dipping the fingers or the hands into the grain alcohol. This need not be too strong, though it may be 85% to 90% proof.
15. Rest then from all the applications for five days.
16. Begin then with the Atomidine, taking this time one drop each morning before breakfast for five days.
17. Then take five drops each day for five days. Then take ten drops for two days. Then, the next day, have the second Epsom Salts Bath, followed with the same type of rubs.
18. The Peanut Oil rub may be given daily, this would be well - but it is not necessary for the alcohol rub save when the pores of the skin have been opened from the prolonged steam of the Epsom Salts Bath.
19. After the second Epsom Bath, rest five days from the applications.
20. Then repeat the same as the second series.
21. After that the series of these may be farther apart, and not quite so much variation in the doses of Atomidine, see? that is, take a lesser amount, or the same amount each day for the period of time before the Bath, instead of varying the amount, and have a longer rest period between the series, see?
22. In the diet - keep away from meats, especially such as beef or hog meat or the like; though fish, fowl and lamb may be taken in moderation, but NO FRIED FOODS OF ANY KIND!
23. Have a great deal of the juices, especially of such as lettuce, celery, carrots, beets, radishes and the like. And include with the beets the beet tops - these cooked, you see. These should be taken often, the cooked beets AND carrots.
24. If these are adhered to, we will bring bettered conditions for this body, [3009].
25. Ready for questions.
3009-1 Page 3
26. (Q) What drink, and exercise, should I adopt or give up to help my condition? (A) DO NOT take any carbonated drinks of ANY kind! Exercise as much as practical in the open air and sunshine, though it is preferable not to be directly in too strong rays of the sunshine, see?
27. (Q) What mental attitudes should I adopt or pursue? (A) That of ever being a channel of helpfulness to others. Remember, it is with what measure ye mete to others that it must be measured to you again. This applies spiritually, mentally, materially.
28. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file ile
