1. EC: Yes, we have those conditions that disturb the physical functioning of the body in the present. As we find, there are disturbing forces in the physical functioning of the body. These, as we find, are rather subtle in their nature, for there has been gradually builded that which has unbalanced the system in its abilities to eliminate those used forces when these have become excessive in portions of the system. This, as we find, has allowed those conditions that have become rather specific in their nature to come about, until we have in the present a condition of specific nature that causes distress, uneasiness, and a warring within the physical abilities of the body. These are produced (that is, the first causes) by the lack of those elements for the functioning of the glands that are called ductless in their nature. Hence there becomes, with an excess alkali surroundings, an excess of potash in the system, which - combined with too much protein elements, as from meat and greases - makes for this excess. Hence, when there arose a filling of the glands and ducts in the mammary glands, through irritation these produced an excess of diffused or refused forces in the system. These not being eliminated, there has been brought about a blind tumor (that is, open only at one end). In the present, as we find, this is existent in the left breast, though irritations are manifest in many portions of the system - but do not cause a general distress at the present.
2. In meeting the needs of the conditions to eliminate same from the system, as we find, two propositions or conditions confront the body:
3. An operation or a consistent and persistent treatment that would absorb same, if there will be provided in the system those necessary elements to make a balancing of the system in the elements that are fundamental for the body to make coagulation, absorption and elimination, take place
4438-1 Page 2
without the operation.
4. As to the conditions that would confront the body from operative measures:
5. Were this to be done, it should be done the sooner the better; that is, PROVIDED the body has been given sufficient time to prepare and CLEANSE the system so that these forces about the condition in breast will segregate sufficiently as to not produce any bad after effects; so building up the blood supply as to be able to insure proper and quick coagulation in the healing of such a condition, or the operative measures. This would require that there be the abstaining from meats, butters, or any heavy oils, until there is builded from the blood building material those elements that are not tumorous in their reaction in any sense. Or, the diet should be away from meats, greases, or any excess of tuberous vegetables. Rather leafy vegetables, and those that will carry a great deal of nerve and blood resistance forces, and a great deal of plasm and urea building in the blood supply. If such preparation is made, it would be well for the operation to be done.
6. However, if the proper precautions are taken, we find, there needs NOT be the operation - provided the condition is taken at this stage; though, if this is to be NEGLECTED in ANY part, or portion, then don't commence it! for it would only retard the condition, and then the last stages would be worse than were there the operative measures in the present. If there is to be the consistent and persistent efforts to absorb the condition WITHOUT the operation, then we would do these:
7. Eliminate from the diet all fats, meats, heavy oils of any kind.
8. Keep the eliminations through the intestinal tract high, by the use of vegetable forces and fluids that do not DRAIN the system but that gently add resistance and the proper balancing of blood supply.
9. We would add to the forces in the system through medicinal properties of the iodine that may be absorbed in the system, or Atomidine. Take eight drops in a glass of water twice each day for a ten day period, resting five days, then begin again. Continue this for three or four months, or until there is DETERMINED as to whether this is being effective (that is, of course, provided this course is to be pursued).
10. Also take Animated Ash, that LOOSENS the oxygen within the system so that the absorption of same through its course throughout the body is highly efficient, and will take from the system those properties that now produce this CHARACTER
4438-1 Page 3
of condition in system. The dose would be one-quarter grain three times each week. Empty the powdered ash on tongue and swallow down with half a glass of water. Do not take the ash IN the capsule!
11. Thirty minutes after taking the ash, apply the ultra-violet in the area of the cerebrospinal from which that portion of the body receives its impulse - that is, in the area of the 3rd, 4th and 6th dorsal, see? and not direct to the abrasion or the lump, or the tumor, that exists at the present.
12. The breast, or lump, may be massaged GENTLY - not bruised, to be sure, but gently massaged - with a mixture of one-quarter ounce of Iodex and one-quarter grain of the Animated Ash. Gently massage this once each day. Protect this by the use of hare fur, or the like, over same - with a gauze in between the fur and the skin. The VIBRATION from this is excellent for a tumor, and DISSIPATES same - if the system is HIGHLY eliminative in its activity, which it becomes with an excess of iodic effect in the blood stream. This iodic effect, with an activity of greases or too great protein (or meats), will be more harmful than helpful. As also would be an excess of potatoes, or beets, or such. Rather use leafy vegetables, with celery, carrots, turnips occasionally (especially the tops), cabbage, fruits and nuts. These would be well to keep the body well balanced, but do not include walnuts or pecans in these! Almonds, Brazilian nuts, cashew nuts, and the like, are well. Almonds, especially.
13. This carried out, we would find that in three to five months the condition should be dried up entirely. If it is going to be neglected, then the operative measures should be taken; but with the whole of these carried sincerely, prayerfully - the diet and all the active forces for the system - then this, as we find, would be the better means; for the conditions are such that, UNLESS the system IS prepared, the operative measures would NOT be effective except in STAYING same, while the other would be a cure for same!
14. Ready for questions.
15. (Q) How far from the body should the ultra-violet be placed? (A) About thirty-four inches if hand lamp is used. Thirty-eight to forty inches if the heavy lamp is used. This would be from two and a half to three minutes, thirty minutes after the dosage of ash is taken. Take the normal amount of exercise, and - as far as possible - FORGET about the condition! for we will dry it up, if we
4438-1 Page 4
will do this! If the treatment is not to be adhered to, then the sooner the body is prepared for the operative measures the better - but, if this course is pursued, be sure from the blood test that coagulation is as near equally balanced as possible before the operation is undertaken.
16. We are through for the present. Copy to Husband " " Ass'n file
