Time of Reading 10:40 to 11:00 A. M. Eastern War Time. New York City.
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, [3125].
3. Now, as we find, the allergies in this body have reached such states and conditions as to form the pathological and psychological reactions. And, to be of any great material aid in correcting these conditions, there will need to be those preparations of the body, with the chemical changes prepared for the body, and then the use of the psychological reactions to create those coordinations between the sympathetic and the cerebrospinal nervous systems.
4. These, then, are conditions as we find them with this body, [3125] we are speaking of:
5. The blood supply is so acted upon by the nerve forces and centers in the lymph and the emunctory circulation as to become very much disturbed when in contact or association with a great many elements.
6. ANY that have to do with animal, or skins of animal, or that have to do with any pollen-forming plant, all affect the body in an irritating way and manner, and are exercised through the blood in the lymph and emunctory circulation.
7. The suggestive forces must react upon those centers in the nerve system, or bursa (sometimes called). These are not so disturbing to the organs of the central nervous system, nor to the organs of the body-forces, save sympathetically.
8. These as we find, then, may be materially aided, if applications will be made in this manner:
9. Each day for a minute to a minute and a half, for seven days in succession, we would apply the ultra-violet ray with the green glass projected between the ray and the body. Use only the Mercury Quartz Light, and not the Carbon Light. Do
3125-1 Page 2
not use longer each time than a minute and a half to two minutes, at least not over three minutes, ever.
10. After the seven days of using the ultra-violet with the green glass (not before), begin with the suggestive treatment by a hypnotist, or through hypnosis; such as may be had by Kuhn or Garrett. As Garrett has undertaken this, Kuhn may be the stronger - with this body. Do this about twice each week, covering a period of at least twenty-eight to thirty days. Do not undertake the hypnosis until the electrical treatments are given.
11. As the suggestions are made, begin taking internally those properties to change the whole chemical reaction that forms the basis of this breaking between the sympathetic and cerebrospinal systems. Prepare a compound very carefully, in this manner:
12. To 2 gallons of Distilled or Rain Water, add - in the order named: Yellow Dock Root......................2 ounces, Burdock Root..........................1 ounce, Calamus Root........................1/2 ounce, Black Snake Root, or Snake Root.......1 ounce, Red Root..............................1 ounce, Buchu Leaves..........................1 dram, Cincho Bark...........................2 grains, Podophyllin (dry).....................1 grain, Elder Flower..........................4 ounces. Reduce by slow boiling, in an enamel container with an enamel or glass top (not tin or metal), to 1 gallon. When partly cooled, cut 4 drams of Gum of Elm in the alcohol - that is, cut 4 drams of the Tolu elm, or Balsam of Tolu, in 6 ounces of Grain Alcohol, and add to the solution.
13. The dose will be a teaspoonful four times each day, before each meal and at retiring.
14. Keep to those foods that are body-building, but little of the flesh. However, seafoods and fowl may be taken. Beef juices may be taken as medicine, for the strength and the helpfulness in same. Watercress, celery, lettuce and the like should be taken several times each week; preferably each day. Carrots, grated and eaten raw, or cooked, are good.
15. Do these, being consistent, being persistent, and we will bring better conditions for this body of [3125].
16. Ready for questions.
17. (Q) What causes the tingling in the sole of my left foot all the time?
3125-1 Page 3
(A) Because of the connections along the nerve centers, and these will be parts of the suggestions made under the hypnosis; that there will be the perfect coordination through the centers of the body - between sympathetic and cerebrospinal system. This is particularly indicated in the sacral and lumbar area nerves.
18. (Q) What causes the neuritis in my left side whenever I put on a pair of shoes, or brassiere, or glasses with plastic frames? How can I get over it? (A) These, as indicated, are allergies through the sympathetic system, and are to be overcome through the suggestive treatments, following the light treatments as indicated, and through the same period the taking of the properties to change the chemical reactions in the body.
19. (Q) What causes my finger joints to swell up and get sore? (A) Do these things as indicated. We have given as to how the activities of the lymph and emunctory circulation, being charged - or through the allergies, cause the accumulations in any area where there are the larger patches of the emunctory or lymph bursa. There are a number of these patches, of course, in the feet, in hands, more than in other portions of the body, save in the soft tissue of lung and head and nasal passages. But do as we have indicated, for help for this body.
20. We are through for the present. Two copies to Self (one for Dr. Thomas L. Garrett) Copy to Ass'n file " " Miss Goodall for indexing (7/31/43 GD's notes: See directions [which were enclosed] for preparing Pure Beef Juice. Use the ultra-violet and green glass as may be demonstrated by Dr. H. J. Reilly, physiotherapist, RCA Bldg., 1250 Sixth Ave., N.Y.C.)
