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, [5097].
3. In giving the interpretations of the conditions as we find them here, while these can become very serious and some of the applications that have been made have proven for this particular body more to the disadvantage than to the advantage of the body, there may come help with some changes as may become necessary. This, however, is dependent upon how careful the body is in some of its activities. If the body will take the suggestions as may be made here and use them consistently and persistently, it may yet live a normal, active life.
4. It will not be well for the body to disregard all of the precautions until the body has thoroughly eliminated the sources and causes of the pulmonary disorder. The greater trouble at present is that in the collapsing of the lung, it has caused adhesions in the pleura and this gives, or may cause some complications, but if there is a nominal amount of exercise gently taken, we may eliminate much of these without a great deal of discomfort.
5. The warnings are not to get the feet or body wet and remain in the damp clothing, or remain too much in the night air. Whether you are in a mountain or in a valley, do not have too much night air.
6. Do take a nominal amount of exercise entirely in the open and the sunshine, though when it is too warm let it be in the semi-sunshine.
7. Yes, we would leave all the things off that are being done. We would begin with these:
8. Obtain a 2-gallon oak keg charred inside. Prepare this so there may be 2 vents in one end, one of these with a tube
5097-1 Page 2
so that the gas that forms from the contents may be inhaled. In the two gallon keg put one gallon of pure apple brandy. Keep the keg with brandy in same, close to the heat (this may be by a stove or heater, but a stove should be sufficient, where meals are prepared) so as to cause an extra amount of evaporation. It is the gas from this evaporation, not the brandy, that is to be inhaled into the lungs. Inhale these fumes 2 or 3 times a day. In the beginning do not inhale too much. Do inhale it, do not swallow it. While it will not hurt to swallow it, it is not as helpful to the body. The gas will not only act as an antiseptic, but will, with the properties that should be increased in the body, aid the change in the circulation, aiding these chemicals in their proper proportion to the body assimilation and the body activity, or the whole of the digestive forces, and eliminate the cause of infection in the lungs proper, and we will find it will gradually heal those areas where at present there are openings, though not a great deal of live tubercle, but the adhesions as have been indicated are the more irritating for deep breathing.
9. Do also take Calcios as a form in which calcium may be assimilated best by the system. This should be taken at least 3 times each week in the beginning, and after the third or fourth week, take a small quantity each day, just the quantity that may be spread thinly on a whole wheat wafer and eat it, it's not bad.
10. Twice a week take Acigest. This to aid the system in supplying the elements in the digestive system so that diets may build greater resistance so that when there are the activities of the leucocytes in the circulation, there will be a strangulation of the tubercle germ and destroy same. Take 1 teaspoonful of Acigest in a glass of whole milk that is already warm from the heat of the cow, it is better.
11. At times there will be a cough and spittle, but in such periods take internally, about two or three times a day, 3 drops of Glyco-Thymoline in a glass of water, as an intestinal antiseptic, as well as an absorbent of the destructive or detrimental forces coming from the cough.
12. In the matter of the activity: Do in the morning or evening, but preferably in the morning, not too many times, but gradually raise the hands straight out from the side, or by the side, then raise them straight up gradually level and gradually little by little up over the head. This raises the lungs and should gradually eliminate the tendency for adherence in the pleura. Then do a little walking as the body improves but not too over-tiring.
13. As to the diet: Have plenty of eggs, but not the white
5097-1 Page 3
of the eggs. This may be taken in spirits frumenti with milk about once a day, making what is called egg-nog.
14. Do take coca cola occasionally as a drink for the activity of the kidneys, but do not take it with carbonated water. Buy or have the syrup prepared and add plain water to this. Take about 1/2 oz. or 1 oz. of the syrup and add plain water. This to be taken about every other day with or without ice. This will aid in purifying the kidney activity and bladder and will be better for the body.
15. Those of fish, fowl and lamb may be taken, but never fried, rather broil or roast or the like.
16. Have raw vegetables also, but not a great deal of melons of any kind, though cantaloupes may be taken if grown in the neighborhood where the body resides; if shipped don't eat it. The fruits that may be taken: plums, pears and apples. Do not take raw apples, but roast apples a plenty.
17. Do that.
18. Be careful of drink or any drink that is made with carbonated water. If coffee is taken, do not take milk in same. If tea is taken, do not take milk in same. This is hard on the digestion and especially for conditions as exist here.
19. Do these consistently and you can soon forget you ever had tuberculosis.
20. Do not become pregnant, though before a year has passed, and then be very mindful that there is sufficient calcium or Calcios taken through the period of gestation and that occasionally watermelon or watermelon seed tea is taken.
21. Ready for questions.
22. (Q) Would another climate be more suitable? (A) Do other places have better sunshine? These of course depend upon how consistent the body will be. This is a very good climate for the conditions, if the suggestions are followed.
