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 - a bad altitude for the body, yet a change would make it much worse in the present unless done gradually.

3. As we find, there are disturbances that have caused distresses through the body. These are partially conditions in the pancreas and partially in the circulation of heart, liver, kidneys and lungs. These then become rather serious.

4. Gradually we would make a change in altitude, leaving off all of fats, cleansing the colon, and using the Jerusalem artichoke in the diet; and we will find that this achey condition, the accumulations through portions of the body, the disturbances in the heart circulation will be materially aided.

5. These we would do.

6. The colonic irrigations for removing poisons from alimentary canal should be gently but very thoroughly given, scientifically; not by one who doesn't pay attention to the ballooning of various portions of the colon, but by one who will use massage to prevent this from causing those disturbances where there are thinned areas and an already plethoric condition needing to be cleansed or purified.

7. About twice a week we would eat a Jerusalem artichoke about the size of a hen egg, but only prepare this in its own juices; that is, cooked only in Patapar paper. And when the jacket or skin is removed, all of the juices are to be mixed with the bulk of the artichoke that is to be eaten.

8. Occasionally we would have a gentle Swedish massage, rather than any corrective treatments - a Swedish massage

for the muscular forces, with the proper precautions as to heating of the body for such massages.

9. Ready for questions.

10. (Q) What is the condition of the heart? (A) As indicated, this is partly a result of toxic conditions and partly a result of a disturbance in the central circulation.

11. (Q) What causes lump and soreness here in cold weather since flu three years ago? (A) Accumulations from bad conditions in circulation. Hence the massages and the heating of the body properly as massages are made, and the purifying of the colon that poisons may be eliminated that tend to make such accumulations in lymph pockets as indicated through soft tissue in the body.

12. (Q) What causes soreness of very end of spine, especially when tired? (A) All of these are a part of this whole general condition. Use those applications suggested. And when the massages are made, reduce that tendency for plethora or a fullness in the coccyx end of spine, especially at the last - and second to last - coccyx segment, or the very tail end.
