TEXT

1. EC: We have the body here - this we have had before. Now, while some of the conditions have been accentuated in the physical reaction of the body from that as we have had here before, there are at the present time bettered conditions apparent through the applications of the vibrations set up by injections in the system. These have better prepared the body for those conditions that may be administered. While these may be continued, we do not find that these would be other than temporary relief, unless there was added that which would bring the nearer basic forces for coordination of vibrations for the physical forces of the body to function nearer the normal and more perfectly. Hence we would apply rather THIS for the body:
2. At least twice each week we would give the thorough massage of the cerebro-spinal system and across the abdomen and groins, and especially about the thyroid region, properties of Balsam of Sulphur. This may be cleansed after the massage with a weak solution of soda or salt water, and rubbed vigorously; not sufficient to produce abrasions, but sufficient to draw the circulation to these parts to which the Balsam of Sulphur is applied and massaged into. In this manner we will set up the better basic vibration for the system and assist the secretions, serums, and blood so created within the system to meet and combat with those elements that have caused and have produced those disturbances and those deflections of nerve reaction in this body.
3. EACH day, in the evening, to bring better rest, we would massage over the WHOLE body - that is, beginning from the base of the brain to the tips of the toes - equal parts of olive oil and tincture of myrrh and sassafras oil. Massage this gently into the system, so that the capillary circulation picks up - in its internal reaction - from such gentle massaging.
4. Do this, and we will find - were this kept consistently for thirty to sixty days - a great improvement shown in the abilities of the locomotions for this body.
5. The diet as has been outlined may be alternated to meet the needs of the conditions of system.
6. It is NECESSARY, to be sure, that the intestinal tract be kept nominally open. Do not use the cathartics any more than necessary; preferably use the Russian White Oils and high enemas carrying either the oil of Glyco-Thymoline as an antiseptic in same. These only resorted to, to keep the system cleansed from those poisonings necessarily arising from non-activity of the forces of the body through these channels, by its incapacitated forces in locomotion. Do those. We will find we will bring better conditions for this body. Ready for questions.
7. (Q) Have any of the treatments accorded the body been of benefit?
   (A) As has been outlined.
8. (Q) Give condition of the kidneys and bladder. Should the left kidney be removed?
   (A) Not until these conditions as have been given for the body have been tried for the body, and - as we see - the response will be such that the removal would not be necessary.
9. (Q) What causes the bearing down pain on the bladder?
   (A) The pressure produced from the condition in the transverse and ascending colon.
10. (Q) What can body do to get rid of the rheumatism in legs, hips and feet?
    (A) Do that as has been given.
11. (Q) Will the body be able to do her own work? If so, how long before she will be able?
    (A) When physical forces are set aright in the body, that to which the body desires to apply itself may be accomplished through its own physical forces. Obtain that correction necessary for the carrying out of the desires of the physical body, through the application of the mental and physical forces, to those as have been given for the correction. We are through with this reading.

REPORTS

1. 6/10/30 Letter: "I am writing to you for help again. Expect you get tired helping as this is the 3rd time. I went out to Hot Springs, Ark., and seemed to get some better but when I came home this neuritis is getting worse, and want your advice on what doctor could do me the most good and what is giving me the most trouble, my bowels or my kidneys. Is my bowels pressing on my bladder? Could it be that I have gonorrhea rheumatism? Do you think that Dr. Michael at Huntington could do me any good?
   "P.S. I am anxious to know what is causing this neuritis in my legs. The only relief I get is when I take a laxative. It seems like my bowels are too low and almost closed up high in the rectum. Don't you think that they could be stretched?"
2. 6/26/30 Letter: "The most help that I have ever got I do believe was that you had me do for myself, but I can't doctor myself to do any good and the doctors don't seem to know what causes this neuritis in my hips and legs. My bowels stay gassed up all the time and seems like they are lying on my bladder. Sometimes I think I can't stand it any longer."
3. 7/05/30 She wrote asking to be a charity patient in the Cayce Hospital.
4. 9/27/32 Letter: "I have inflamed kidneys and bladder. My bladder just seems raw and I can doctor it and clear my urine up but that does not help my bladder any, or my kidneys either. They do not act enough, but act real often. They throw the poison off into my system. Can you tell me what causes this inflamed condition? And can you tell me what to do to help them?
   "I can doctor my kidneys and bladder and my legs get better. But I can't find a permanent cure. Can you also tell me what causes the bearing down feeling on my bladder? Could it be that my bowels have fallen down? Enclosed you'll find a stamp so you can send me an immediate reply if possible."
5. 10/01/32 EC replied sending her a membership application.
6. 6/08/34 Letter: "There is a lady giving me treatments and I need your help bad, and if you will help us I think I can get well. I sure will pay you when I get better. I haven't much to doctor with but the lady is giving treatments and thinks with your help I can be cured, then I can walk; for I know that you told a lady what to do for her foot [11] and she did it and it cured her. Now if you will only tell me what to do."
7. 6/11/34 EC sent her a membership application to sign.
8. 6/16/34 Letter: "I am taking adjustments and sure need your help in telling me what to do, for I would like to know what is feeding this neuritis. My legs almost kill me. These big leaders in my legs draw and take spells, then my limbs just seem to stiffen up and burn like something was coming right through the pores of the skin. I just hurt from my kidneys down...I will join your club and be glad to."
9. 6/28/34 Letter: "I am joining your club but can't pay anything until I get better."
10. 7/09/34 See 133-3, her third reading, with report correspondence by Dr. Carolina Woodruff.
