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, [3398].
3. As we find, while the conditions physically are rather serious, there will be hope, there IS hope, so long as there can be kept that desire in the body for the struggle for this life experience. So long as there can be kept those attitudes about the body and those administering for same, for the desire for expression in this experience, with the faith and the hope and trust in Him Who is life, light and immortality, there WILL be - there IS - hope!
4. Conditions have become rather complicated in the present. The inflammation through the throat, bronchi and lungs causes a great deal of distress to the body in the attempts to breathe. The reactions are gradually improving.
5. We would aid in these directions by the application of Glyco-Thymoline Packs to the front and back of the chest. These will aid in producing better reactions for the lymph and emunctory circulation, also tending to act with the fumes as well as the absorption of same to equalize the lymph and superficial circulation.
6. Sources or causes of the disturbance, as we find, are not prenatal. They are from congestions or lesions formed when there were temperatures of high natures in the body. While giving expression in the upper cervicals, the sources of these arise from lesions in the coccyx area of the body; those sources where the effects have been to locomotory centers, making for the inabilities for controlling the muscular forces - or the locomotories and the balance in the body.
7. These pressures have caused lesions in the lacteal duct center. This is that area of the first patches of the lymph

circulation through the upper intestinal tract, that cold area that is oft experienced by the body when there are the convulsions producing incoordination between sympathetic and cerebrospinal systems, causing contraction, the drawing even at times in the back of the neck and lower portion of the head areas.
8. The administrations of properties or sedatives to keep down the convulsions have caused congestions, enlargings in the mouth and base of brain.
9. As we find, then, these will necessarily require meeting the varied conditions as they arise.
10. First, then, we would make those applications of the Glyco-Thymoline Packs to rid the body of the mucous, the phlegm, the inflammation through the chest, bronchi and throat areas. Apply these not constantly, but for two or three hours each day, keeping them warm. If they cause too great a struggle when the seizures come on, by having the heat, remove them. But do keep applying them.
11. Do keep the circulation by the massages of the extremities and the body-forces themselves; raising the body from the secondary cardiac plexus area will start blood flow better than from any portion of the body - this at the 3rd and 4th dorsal center.
12. Then, when there is an improvement - under the direction of such an one as Marion Dick - have those corrections made osteopathically in the coccyx, in the sacral areas; not too severe in the beginning but gradually, keeping up the Packs when necessary to keep the body-forces attuned.
13. It is necessary to keep up the phenobarbitol during the periods while the corrections are being made.
14. If there is the response - in the course of the next four to five months - then apply the Castor Oil Packs over the lacteal duct and gall duct area; not too severe. These should be applied warm, then adding the electric pad to drive same in.
15. Afterward sponge off the body with a strong soda water. Then massage gently. We must break up the lesions, if we will reduce the convulsions, so that an equilibrium may be established. We must break those lesions in the coccyx and sacral area before those in the 1st cervical, 2nd and 3rd cervical may be relaxed sufficiently for there to be normal reactions to the body.
16. Do keep up the strengthening food values, but do give the body beef juice. Not soup but beef juice. Give a teaspoonful of this each day, or two teaspoonsful - not more than that. This should be given more as drops than as
3398-1 Page 3
spoonsful, though, so that proper assimilation may take place. A teaspoonful of this taken during a day will be more strengthening than a glassful of the eggnog. A teaspoonful may be taken during the morning and a teaspoonful in the afternoon, if it is sipped slowly so as to be properly assimilated.
17. Eggnog will be strengthening for the respiratory system and heart activity. Use the yolk of an egg and a little spiritus frumenti, with only a tiny bit of milk, or it may be taken with orange juice.
18. These will be strengthening for the body. Take sufficient of these each day to keep the strength. These are only additions to the other foods.
19. When the massages are given, don't try to begin on the neck first. Begin on the small of the back and the coccyx and the sacral and lumbar area, and just sufficient in the upper dorsal and through the cervical to keep a constant flow - more as a massage. And let it be such as to treat the superficial circulation rather than the deep circulation. For the heart life is strong. Don't let it fade in this body.
20. If there is the response, these will bring help - if there is kept that attitude and the hope in the body.
21. Ready for questions.
22. (Q) Will she ever be normal mentally, able to walk and talk? (A) This depends upon the response, and upon how consistent and persistent. As given, so long as there is that sincere desire, so long as there is the life hope, these are possibilities. For, who healeth thy diseases? In whom do we have life, light and immortality? This entity-soul is purposeful in the lives of many. Keep it in His care.
23. (Q) What causes the lips to turn blue? (A) The circulation. As given, do keep the massage. When there is the breaking up of the lesions in the gall duct and lacteal duct area - in some six or eight or twelve months - when these are cleansed, use for the massage this combination of oils - first an equal combination of Olive Oil and Tincture of Myrrh (heating the oil to add the myrrh), and later these proportions; or these may be used from the beginning: Olive Oil....................2 ounces, Tincture of Myrrh............2 ounces, Lanolin (liquefied)........1/4 ounce. These should not be too severe, but do break up the lesions - and we will get those seizures farther and farther apart.

24. (Q) Has the brain tissue been destroyed? (A) No, not brain tissue. It is in the medulla oblongata where the heaviness has come in base of brain, but the lesions are in the lower portion of the spine and in the lacteal duct. That is why it has been so hard for the body to swallow or to assimilate. Hence those oils being given are already prepared for assimilation by the body, for strength-giving. This is serious, but keep the faith.
