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: Another cycle.
3. Yes, we have the body here, [3389].
4. As we find, there are conditions that prevent the normal functionings of the body. These at the present time are a complication of disturbances.
5. The sources arise from conditions that were induced from the exterior, or injuries to the body; that affected the distribution of activities of the glandular system and brought about a disturbance in the activities of the body.
6. The administrations caused an unbalanced chemical reaction that, not being able to be eliminated through normal channels, produced a contraction in the muscular and tendon forces of the body. All of the locomotories and the activities in same to a great extent are being involved, though not all are hindered in activity to some degree.
7. Hence at times there is produced a very slow pulsation, at other times quite fast.
8. As to the nerve forces of the body, it is well that some of these have been encased - though there has been a great suffering by the body at times.
9. Those administrations made in the present are allaying, though these are not healing.
10. There will be gradual improvements if these are continued and the control is gradually gained through portions of the body. Other portions may become atrophied unless changes are wrought in the activities.
11. As we find, these we would add to that being done in the present in part:
12. Through the areas of the lumbar and lower dorsal we
3389-1 Page 2
would apply daily the heavy Epsom Salts packs, as warm or as hot as the body can stand; not to abuse or to cause undue pain but these are to break up the lesions and the encasements to the locomotories and to the areas that first began this disturbance for the body.
13. Leave on the Epsom Salts Pack until it becomes disagreeable by its very heaviness, or by having dried on body. Use at least three to four thicknesses of heavy toweling wrung out in almost a saturated solution of Epsom Salts. It will be hard on the hands of those applying same, but use gloves. These would be applied daily.
14. Each day following the use of the Packs, massage the body with this combination of oils: Olive Oil.................2 ounces, Peanut Oil................2 ounces, Lanolin (liquefied).....1/4 ounce.
15. This would be to prevent any irritation to the areas by such severe applications.
16. Do these each day for at least two weeks. Then have a rest period from these applications for almost an equal length of time.
17. During such periods of rest, begin and take one drop of Atomidine in half a glass of water each morning before breakfast, for three days in succession each week - say Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
18. After the second series, then begin again with the Epsom Salts Packs; this time applying these to the lower limbs as well as to the lumbar and lower dorsal areas. These we would keep every day for another period of two weeks; each time using afterwards the oil massages.
19. When this period has passed, rest a period and take again the Atomidine.
20. Do not leave off the gelatin. Do keep the vitamins that will add strength to the body.
21. When three complete series of these applications have been made, then (not before) begin using the ultra-violet light to aid in strengthening the body. Or this may be used at the beginning of the third series and throughout that period.
22. Then we would again give those suggestions necessary. We will find healing for this body, if these suggestions will be followed.
23. Ready for questions.
24. (Q) What causes the arthritis? (A) As indicated, it is a combination; first an injury to the lower portion of the spine that affected the activity of
3389-1 Page 3
the glandular system as related to the organs of the pelvis and the lower brush end of the spine, and then the applications that were not properly administered - that took away the activity of the glands.
25. (Q) What treatment will help the nails where they have come off? (A) Let's don't bother about those yet! When we get to the glandular reactions, as will be aided by the taking of the iodine into the system (in the atomic form called Atomidine), they'll commence to grow again in their right time.
26. (Q) Should anything being done now be left off? (A) As indicated, only take the gelatin and those strengthening foods. Do follow these suggestions if we will find ease. Be consistent and persistent with these, and we may heal this body.
