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 questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [3495].
3. As we find, there are conditions that prevent the better physical functioning of the body. These are the effects that exist in the body of an infectious or tubercular nature. In the present these are in some portions of the pulmonaries latent. But there are the results through the digestive system and the eliminations, such that unless measures are taken to correct these disturbances there may be again the active forces - either through cold, pressure, or through change in the activities of the body from natural irritations repellent from gases or of such natures.
4. But taken in the present, we find that these may be allayed, if there is a little persistency and consistency in the activity being carried on to create first the balancing of the chemical forces of the body, so that in assimilation there will be sufficient of the division of alkalines and acids as to not allow the distresses to arise again.
5. Also certain properties should be used to aid in supplying elements that are deficient in the assimilation, in activities through the thyroid, the adrenals, and especially in those active forces in the relationship between the gastric flow of the liver, the spleen and the gall ducts in their activity in the body.
6. These, then, would require first this as an attitude or activity:
7. It would be well if the body were removed from the environs, provided there is caution that the body doesn't remain long in night air, that it does not get its feet wet unnecessarily - that is, wading around in the cold or snow

or bad weather. Neither should the body keep so housed as to prevent the nominal supply of oxygen the air for the sustenance of the revivifying and purifying of the blood flow through the lungs.
8. This would mean, then, these activities:
9. We would supply that which would be healing for throat, bronchi, lungs, also to act upon the circulation between the heart, the lungs, the liver and the kidneys. As indicated, there are disturbances, but these inhalations will aid in purifying and healing:
10. Once or twice a day inhale the gases from Apple Brandy that is disseminated by evaporation, by this being placed where there is heat - not letting it become too hot, but just so evaporation takes place and forms in the container prepared for same. Use a gallon or gallon and a half charred oak keg, preferably a two gallon size. Prepare this so that there may be a vent for air, also a tube or vent through which the Fumes may be inhaled into the lungs and throat. These should go into the throat more than into the stomach or esophagus. Inhale, then, with the idea of the Fumes not being swallowed except occasionally - and this only after the first few weeks of inhaling the Fumes in the lungs only. This is to act as an antiseptic as well as a control of the body activities. For, the body is lacking in hydrochlorics, which is ordinarily the case where this type of tuberculous is indicated in the body.
11. Thus we would add hydrochloric acid in the form of ACIGEST. In the beginning take this only every other day, one teaspoonful in a glass of raw milk. If it is possible, preferably have the animal heat still in same when this is prepared for the body. While this should be pure and should be tested it is better if only the raw milk is used. Preferably take this in the evening just before the body is ready to retire.
12. Also take supplementary juices or the vitamin forces that may be had in CALCIOS (calcium), to aid in bettering the condition for throat, bronchi and trachea, as well as the general circulation through the whole body.
13. After these have been taken for about thirty days, we would also have at least once a week a very gentle massage - not very stiff but a very gentle massage - relaxing the body, rather than stimulating any specific center or ganglia for activity. Rather the purpose of such, by relaxing would be to distribute the energies from certain centers so that the distressed area will have the advantages of the helpful forces through such activities.
14. Do these and we will bring much nearer normal forces for
3495-1 Page 3
this body.
15. Ready for questions.
16. (Q) Would it be advisable to come home at present, if not, please suggest what changes in environment would be most be beneficial? (A) None better, if prepared for same! But it can be made mighty bad, if not!
17. (Q) Please advise foods to stress and foods to avoid in the diet? (A) Avoid white breads. Avoid the combining of white potatoes, macaroni and such at the same meal. No two of such starches would be taken at the same meal. Avoid taking cereals and citrus fruit juices at the same meal. Do take raw vegetables quite often. Do have fowl and fish, and for this body - if these other properties are taken - it may be fried, but fry in Peanut Oil.
18. (Q) Any other advice at this time? (A) Look to the spiritual side of Life. As the life is made active in its associations with others, use same for constructive, creative thinking, and the application of self to that in which the body and the mind will ever be a channel of help and blessings to others. Do that.
19. We are through with this reading. Copy to Mother " " Ass'n file " " Miss Goodall for indexing (Calcios and Acigest are both distributed by The Colloidal Health Products Corp., Atten. A. A. Nichoson, Greenvale, L.I., N.Y. Acigest is hydrochloric acid in a form easily assimilated and sells for $1.00 a bottle. Calcios is a syrupy paste containing free calcium easily assimilated, and sells for $2.50 a jar. Eat a whole wheat cracker thinly spread with the Calcios each day, preferably with the noon meal.)
