At the home of his Time of Reading parents, Mr. & Mrs. 11:05 to 11:10 A. M. Eastern War Time. [...], ..., Penna.
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, [3801].
3. As we find, while these distresses are in the form of convulsions, they are not true epileptic conditions - according to that ordinarily implied by such terms.
4. At the time of birth we find that there were disturbances as related to the umbilical or navel center. Through cold some congestion was caused in the area close to the lacteal ducts, and this has continued. We find that this will continue to be disturbing until the lesions there are broken up. For with the carrying on of digestion or when there is an excess of carbohydrates given to the body, there will be brought on the contraction causing a spasmodic reaction in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd cervical areas, causing frustration.
5. The continuing to give sedatives or palliatives will only weaken the conditions. If sedatives are to be given during the time that these treatments are followed (as we suggest); that is, to allay and to keep down the congestions that arise and that are causing the spasmodic reactions, we would give rather the combination of bromides that may be found in Bromidia. This will be less reacting to the system, or should this prove to be upsetting and to cause vomiting at times, as to cause a strain to the diaphragm and to the stomach areas, we would change to Luminal - which is a hypnotic rather than a narcotic.
6. All of these, to be sure, must be given only under the direction of a physician.
7. Apply hot Castor Oil Packs for at least an hour each day
3801-1 Page 2
for three days in succession each week. Apply these over the lacteal duct and about the umbilical center. This is the means through which the lesions may be broken up and gradually eliminated.
8. After the third day, each week, give the body at least two tablespoonsful of Olive Oil. Or if the Olive Oil disagrees with the body if given in such a large quantity, it may be given all along - half a teaspoonful two or three times a day, and then after the third day of the Packs give another big dose - about a full teaspoonful.
9. Then leave off for three to four days and repeat.
10. Keep these up each week, until there is easy assimilation and elimination.
11. Each week following the series of the Castor Oil Packs, give the body an osteopathic treatment with special reference to breaking up the lesions in the lacteal duct area.
12. Being consistent with these treatments, we find that we may bring nearer normal conditions for the body by the time it reaches its third cycle of changes - if these are kept consistently, persistently, through these periods. The body is beginning on its second cycle now, and by the time of the third cycle the disturbance should be eliminated.
13. In the diet keep a great deal of those vegetables that grow under the ground. Have more of the tuberous and bulbous than the leafy vegetables for this body.
14. We are through with this reading. Two copies to Father - (one for the osteopath - Please let us have the name and address of the one you choose.) Copy to Ass'n file " under Case number for indexing (3/20/44 GD's note: See directions [which were enclosed] for preparing Castor Oil Packs.)
