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. Conditions have grown to be very serious for this body. This is the progressive type of arthritis, and the bones in ankles, knees, hands, elbows are gradually becoming anchored. This, of course, then causes lack of circulation through same, and then causes this to become immovable or static, plastic, as it were. These will gradually increase unless there are measures taken for correction of these conditions.

3. As we find, in going about this, we must change the activity of the glandular system.

4. For this body we would prepare, then, the Wet Cell Appliance in which the Iodine is to be charged in the Appliance. This we would prepare in this manner: Have at least a two gallon container, prepared with only a gallon and a half of rain water or distilled water in same. Then begin with the two pounds of the Copper Sulphate, the others in proportion, but leaving out the Charcoal in this solution.

5. But do put three ounces of Tincture of Iodine in, or suspended in, the solution. This should be preferably in a container with a glass cork. And this should then be put on the low charge, as charging an auto battery. Keep on for at least thirty minutes. Use, this then, with the Gold. The Gold would be one grain and one-half, to an ounce of distilled water.

6. This would be applied to the body, the small copper plate at the lower portion of the 9th dorsal center (or between the 9th and 10th) and the larger plate (the connection of which is passing through solution) at the umbilical and lacteal duct center, which on this body would be the width

of four fingers to the right in a straight line from the navel center, and two fingers up from that point.

7. Give this at least one half hour each day.

8. Do change the solutions every thirty days; that is, the Gold Solution and the Charging Solution for the Appliance, see.

9. Follow same with a thorough massage of the whole body with equal portions of Olive Oil and Peanut Oil. This should be toward the body, not from the body. As from the feet, ankles, the bursae of the feet, calf of the leg, along under the knee, across the hips, up either side of the cerebrospinal system, not so much on joints themselves as the sympathetic nervous system or nerve energies, but especially at the 4th lumbar, 9th dorsal, 6th, 5th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd and 1st dorsal, 3rd cervical and 1st cervical, around the neck.

10. These do and we will give further directions for the body after six months. If we will do these we may bring to the body a real help.

11. Ready for questions.

12. (Q) Would a change of climate be helpful? (A) Not necessarily; though, to be sure, Arizona or portions of New Mexico would be more preferable for regularity, as Albuquerque, or in the area of Casa Grande [Arizona].

13. (Q) Would a change in the dietary habit be essential or important? (A) Only add more of green vegetables.

14. (Q) Is the condition physical in origin or mental? (A) It's more of the karmic nature. This, then, is mental and physical but let's begin with the first things first. As we go along we will change the attitude. For unless there is consistency and persistency, or unless something is to be done with the abilities of the body, with the abilities to be nearer normal in activity, why correct it at all?
