Time of Reading 10:30 to 11:10 A. M. Eastern War Time. Virginia Beach, Va.
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, [3056], present in this room.
3. As we find, there are disturbances that prevent the body from its better physical functioning. These have to do primarily, we find, with that coordination between the sympathetic (or vegetative) nerve system and the cerebrospinal nerve system.
4. Thus the bursa are involved that are in those areas dealing with locomotion, or controlling of the locomotory centers, almost crosswise of the body.
5. While the effects produced are much like those from a leakage, hemorrhage, or the like, we find that these have NOT been caused by what is commonly called a stroke. While many of the organs are primarily involved, we find that the greater part of the distress arises from other sources than that ordinarily involved in such conditions.
6. These, then, are conditions as we find them with this body, [3056] we are speaking of, present in this room:
7. While the activities in the blood supply, the elements as related to the hormones of the blood force itself, indicate disturbances in activity, and the slowing of circulation through portions of the extremities of the body, these are NOT the effects as of the body of the circulation itself being involved.
8. As we find, then, more of the involvement is in the nervous systems, the energies of the body, the activities of the body having been such as to break down that proper coordination between the nervous systems; that is, the cerebrospinal AND the sympathetic (or vegetative) systems,
3056-1 Page 2
as indicated.
9. Because there have been those disturbances that weakened the centers or ganglia along spinal areas, where the activities between the superficial and deeper circulation were involved, the effects produced are in the locomotories that were and are controlled by the energies that are controlling from the central nervous system, the central blood supply, and the superficial blood supply.
10. Thus we find these conditions existing through this body:
11. The brain forces and their reflexes are active. These are near normal, save as they are disturbed by pressures that exist in the areas of the 5th and 6th dorsal, as through the sympathetic control, the activities in the locomotion to the left upper portion of the body. And there we have an inflammatory condition that causes pressures which prevent nerve impulse that flows with the blood supply through that portion of the arm, as to cause the lack of the ability of coordinating usage of same.
12. We have in the 2nd lumbar that which prevents coordination of that flow to the right side in the lower extremities. These are not so inflamed, but are of the nature that causes the lack of the reflexes in the use of the nerve and muscular forces of this limb.
13. By the activities of the body that brought about these conditions, there has been the lack of that assimilated from that digested, through the activity of glands, to supply sufficient of the elements for producing the stamina - or the impulse in the nerve body itself, the impulse for the retraction, or reaction, or reflex from the brain; the gray and the white matter in nerve itself.
14. As indicated, these do not extend to the spinal cord nor into those areas that would direct the impulses to activity of the organs - either the kidneys or the liver. While both come into reflex reaction, and at times become involved, these are not cut off. Neither is there caused that which would bring about atrophy; indicating then that this involvement is more to the sympathetic connections with the cerebrospinal system, at centers or ganglia indicated in the body.
15. The lack of this element, with the overuse of the energies of the body, both as to locomotion in the lower and upper portion, causes these areas to suffer under this stress and strain.
16. To be sure, there are involvements - from the long period of inactivity - to the heart, the lungs, the liver and the kidneys. But these as yet are secondary to the
3056-1 Page 3
disturbance in the superficial, the lymph and the emunctory circulation, that is involved through the activity of the sympathetic nerve reflexes; which control not only secondarily the organic activity but that as related to the imagination, the sensory reaction, and the impressions that go to make up those reflexes in the responses to impulses from activity of the sensory centers.
17. These, as we find, may be materially aided - if those elements are added to the system that are the basic effect of activity of nerve, muscle AND impulses that go to supply sufficient activity in the vibrations of the body force itself.
18. For, all activity is of an electrical nature.
19. Thus we would supply to the body in such a manner as to carry into the body, vibratorially, those elements that are both healing and supplying of that to bring the coordinating activity between the nerve systems of this body.
20. We would, then, use the very low form of electricity that is of a static nature, or that would be made by the combinations of elements that produce same.
21. For this body, the proportions of the ingredients for the charging solution would be as follows:
22. In at least 2 gallons of Distilled or Rain Water, add - in the order named; putting into a crock container, to be sure: Copper Sulfate..........................2 pounds, Willow Charcoal.......................1/2 pound, Sulfuric Acid C.P...................1 1/4 ounces, Zinc, to cause the reaction, or the decomposition that causes the current.........at least 30 grains.
23. As the composition takes place, gradually add - in at least 3 1/2 to 5 days - later, you see - 3 drams more of the Zinc, or 3 1/2 drams.
24. The poles of the Appliance should be one of copper, the other of nickel; so that the anodes or plates may be attached to the body. On the nickel plate and pole, have a connection with the solution of Gold (the proportions being one grain Chloride of Gold to each ounce of Distilled Water, and use at least six ounces in the container to be used with the Appliance). The connection should be of hollow lead through the solution itself, so that there is built up - by the charge through the body - that which causes a discharge into the body itself.
25. The larger nickel plate, about two inches in diameter, would be attached to the body at the umbilical and lacteal duct plexus - or, on this body, four fingers from the naval
3056-1 Page 4
center toward the right, and one finger up from that point. That would be the center on this particular body.
26. The small copper plate would be attached at the upper part of the 9th dorsal center, so that the vibration passes directly - as it were - through the body.
27. These attachments, using the Gold, would be made every other day - for one hour.
28. Keep the plates very clean, or well polished before and after using. Keep the solution clean; disconnecting and taking the connection out of solution when not in use. And let it be connected to the Appliance about twenty minutes before it is attached to the body.
29. Have a second solution - Spirits of Camphor, commercial strength. This would be connected to the body in the same way and manner, but the copper plate as used here should be attached at the 4th dorsal center, or that that will aid or control and carry to this portion of the body the healing forces for the area disturbed that causes this break between the nerve systems. It would be attached one day at the 4th dorsal center, and the next time it is used - which would be every other day, you see - attach to the 4th LUMBAR center.
30. After the use of these for fifteen days - that is, after each solution has been used for fifteen treatments or attachments - change the solution. Also at the end of that period - which would be thirty days in all, you see - renew the charging solution for the Appliance itself.
31. When the Appliance is begun, begin also - each day following same - with a gentle massage along the spine, from the base of the brain downward to the 9th dorsal; and from the feet and heels upward to the 9th dorsal - this along the sciatic nerves and along the lower portion of the lumbar and sacral area.
32. As these take effect upon the body, we find that there will be less need for the stimulating of heart impulse, - produced by the pressures from bursa in ankle, in wrist and arm - and these properties for the heart may be gradually diminished. In the present they are necessary, to keep the flow through the affected areas.
33. In the matter of the diet - do have oft for the body those properties that carry a great deal of iodine and calcium; or sea foods often. Those that carry the elements indicated especially in beets and beet tops. These are healing in their activity upon the lymph circulation. They are even capable of destroying certain characters of bacilli in the system.
34. Carrots, both cooked and raw, should be a part of the diet.
3056-1 Page 5
35. These, of course, are not all that should be taken, but these should be a part of the diet from day to day; not every day, but sufficient that these carry their influences in the body.
36. Occasionally, the Jerusalem artichoke, cooked only in its OWN juices, or in Patapar Paper, should be eaten. The effect of the insulin in this is needed in the system, in the activity created in the pancreas and its effect upon the liver and the kidneys as the poisons are eliminated by the activity of the glandular forces producing those influences to be eliminated.
37. Keep the alimentary canal rather active. Vary as to an aid, from the vegetable to the mineral eliminant, that there be not those drosses left in the alimentary canal itself.
38. Do that - be persistent, be consistent - we will find help.
39. Ready for questions.
40. (Q) What initiated this condition? (A) Overactivity or tiring the body to such extents, as indicated, to break down the connections without there being sufficient elements of gold to supply in the system nerve energies. Hence this should be taken vibratorially, not by mouth.
41. (Q) Is the lesion that causes the paralysis located within or outside of the confines of the nervous system? (A) Outside, and in those areas indicated. It is NOT a brain lesion.
42. (Q) Are any of the tracts of the brain or the spinal cord involved? (A) As indicated, naturally from long standing there are tendencies. But it is at those ganglia, those centers indicated, where there is the greater involvement - and only traces, and not lesions formed, either in the spinal cord or in brain itself.
43. (Q) What causes my chronic constipation? (A) Lack of general activity of the body. So, as most of the activities of that assimilated go to produce general energies, peristaltic movement becomes lessened. As indicated, necessarily, any form that stimulates circulation slows some portions of eliminations.
44. (Q) Why is it that I have faced eminent death from 9 to 14 times? (A) This might be answered in many different ways. We find it would be given like this: God hath need of thee among those that seek to aid their fellow man.
3056-1 Page 6
Do not overtax thine own energies, but rather let His purposes be COMPLETE in thee, as to that service ye may render others who sincerely seek to contribute to the better welfare of their fellow man. In other words, God hath need of thee - in the EARTH plane - as yet.
45. (Q) I live an isolated existence in which I have no congenial or sympathetic companionship. How can I remedy this condition? (A) So give out of self to ATTRACT to thee those who need what thou hast to give. And well would you choose someone - as thine own young companion in the present! Keep him with you! [S. David Kahn]
46. (Q) Is there a person I should select as a companion, and how will I known when such person is found? (A) Just as indicated, you have him with you at the present - Keep him!
47. (Q) How is Summerville or Charleston, S.C., for my future residence? (A) Any of these - for, of course, close to the coast, as indicated by the elements that are necessary - these would be well.
48. (Q) How will it be possible for me to augment the income that I now have which is not sufficient for my needs? (A) CLASSES! As ye give to others, ye gain for thyself; PROVIDED you do not overdo it. For, ye are still in a material world - that breaks down oft too easily. Do give those opportunities for that indicated to react upon thee, finding in same that which will help and strengthen thee. To be sure, keep the advice or counsel with those close to thee in thine own chosen field of activity, wherever ye may be - but DO keep this body close to thee. He can do much for thee, as ye can for him!
