(Q) Please describe the present conditions as you find them.
(A) As we find, there are the recuperative forces taking
place, from the incisions - and the effect of the general
anaesthesia of the nature indicated to the nerve system.
Here we find, if it were practical or possible, the Animated
Ash taken internally would be most helpful.
The next best thing in the present, as we find, would be to
add to the body vibratorially, through the nerve forces, the
vibrations from the elements of Spirits of Camphor and
Atomidine, - alternately; one used one day, the other the
next day, through the Wet Cell Appliance. The attachments
would be made in this manner:
When using the Atomidine, - attach the small copper plate to
the 4th lumbar, and the larger nickel plate - through which
the Atomidine passes vibratorially (commercial strength) -
should be attached to the umbilical and lacteal duct plexus,
- this is on the right side, you see, and for this body
should be closer than ordinarily to the right side (opposite
the navel) but the area just below the rib, which would be a
little to the right but above the navel, you see - rather
than the middle or central portion of the abdomen, it would
be more over the lower portion of the gall duct and lacteal
duct. The Atomidine (atomic iodine) aids as a purifier to
the glandular system, and thus becomes healing through
nature's activity upon the bodily functions.
When using the Camphor, - attach the small copper plate to
the 9th dorsal center, and the larger nickel plate - through
which the Spirits of Camphor passes vibratorially (commercial
strength) - should be attached to the umbilical and lacteal
duct plexus, - the same as the day before.
The only variation in attachment is upon the spine, you see.
The vibratory attachment from the properties would be the
same; one used one day, the other the next, you see. Make
the attachment for thirty minutes each day.
These properties have their varying effect upon the body.
The Camphor is to cause a better adherence; toughening the
conditions, as it were, that tend to be lacking in the vital
forces for recuperations.
These we would do each day for at least thirty days; fifteen
treatments with each solution, you see.
The charge for the electrical appliance, for this body,
should be:
Copper Sulphate..................2 pounds,
Sulphuric Acid C.P...........1 1/2 ounces,
Zinc............................45 grains.
DO NOT use Charcoal in this solution, but stir the Copper
Sulphate until well dissolved, then stir in the Acid, adding
the Zinc. This needs not so much the stirring as the general
precipitation to produce the low electrical vibration that
assists in carrying the vibrations of the properties through
the body.
Take the connections out of the solution bottle when not in
use, putting them back in solution some five to ten minutes
before the connection is attached to the body, see?
Keep the plates very clean, and the connections very well set
up.
(Q) From a medical and a surgical point of view, was this
operation a perfect job?
(A) It will be if it heals properly.
(Q) Is the nervous system in perfect order?
(A) There is naturally that response in the nervous system
from the general shock of being delayed or detected in its
activity through the body of the operative forces themselves;
and then the anxieties that naturally have upset the general
nervous system, through those conditions which have been a
part of the experience, - and these reflect through the
sympathetic nervous system, of course.
Hence all of these applications that have been suggested are
much preferable to sedatives of any nature, unless they
become necessary for normal rest.
(Q) What is condition of heart and heart valves? How did
they withstand the strain of the operation?
(A) These are much better than would be normally considered,
under all of the circumstances that have passed. As we find,
while these are not normal as yet, their flexes towards
normalcy are very good.
(Q) Are the stitches holding properly, and will they
continue to hold?
(A) As indicated, this will depend upon the responses of the
body to the coagulation; and these are the conditions in part
about which the warnings were given for this body when the
suggestions were made as to the manner in which the
precautions should be taken.
As we find, with the diet, that as will carry more of the
dextrines and the general recuperative forces, - as of the
vitamins that have been and are being indicated, - will be
well.
But the vibratory forces of those elements given in the
manner as we have outlined will be beneficial; and these
should be given IN THE FORM OF THE ELECTRICAL VIBRATION AS
INDICATED! THIS is preferable for healing to that of current
that is of the alternating or direct nature. This is of the
galvanic nature, and more as a cellular reaction to the body.
Hence the proportions of the elements as indicated to produce
the galvanic current, see?
(Q) Are right antiseptics and healing medicine being used
and properly applied?
(A) These are very well.
(Q) Is the outside wound healing properly?
(A) It is healing. It has healed better internally. The
outside is affected from the GENERAL condition of the
sympathetic system; thus the impulses of the vibratory nature
as we have indicated for the body.
(Q) How long should body continue to take "B" vitamins?
(A) Continue these as long as necessary, until the healing
is COMPLETELY done.
(Q) What foods are now best for body? Outline menu in
detail for each meal.
(A) As indicated, those that carry the dextrines. Those
that have been outlined for the body are very good.
(Q) Any foods that should be eliminated entirely?
(A) As we have indicated, we would follow those suggestions
that have been outlined by those who have indicated as to the
best character of diet for recuperative forces.
The only changes we would make would be the addition of the
vibrations that may add to the nerve forces as well as the
glandular and blood supply of the body, through the method
indicated.
(Q) Should we use the Alpine Sun Lamp direct on the wound,
since the days are so dark?
(A) We would NOT use it direct upon the wound. The days now
will be better, for the sunshine; and of course this should
not be directly upon the body, - that is, from the outside as
yet, but as the body is able to have more of the sunshine and
the rays of the sun, it would be better to have it in a
shaded way and manner.
Do not use the Alpine Light directly upon the wound, as we
find.
(Q) What is best type of support to wear there that will not
cause aches to the body and yet support it properly?
(A) The wider, broader abdominal support will be the better,
- of an elastic nature, but not so as to be too tight, nor
yet too loose upon the body, see?
(Q) What caused seepage to come after 8 days?
(A) The lack of the vibrations being such as to cause the
coagulations.
The B-1 is needed more than just B, in the vitamins.
(Q) Will this be entirely eliminated, and how?
(A) This may be entirely eliminated, as there is created
better vibratory forces through the system.
(Q) If by chance the wound should cause some pain, what is
best method of treatment?
(A) There should be the following more closely of those
suggestions indicated by those who are responsible for those
activities, and those connections by making the closing of
the incisions, see?
(Q) Any tonic or special body builder needed?
(A) As indicated, we would not make great changes; just the
addition of the vibrations in the manner outlined.
Do that.
(Q) How long should body rest daily?
(A) As it is in the present, it should rest daily
continuously, - save as to the mental activities; but not too
much of exercises, especially of standing; though such
exercises as to prevent the static conditions being produced
in any of the locomotories of the body.
(Q) What is the condition of the colon now since the
operation?
(A) This is, of course, gradually adjusting itself; and
naturally there will be a continuous strain for some time
because of the shortening of the area between the upper and
lower portion of same.
(Q) What warning needed now to guide the body?
(A) Not too quickly attempting to exercise on the feet too
much.
Do as has been outlined, and we are through for the present.

BACKGROUND
5/07/40 He obtained
257-221 while in hospital following
surgery to remove rectal polyp.
5/31/40 His sec'ty, Mrs. [
189], wrote:
Attached herewith is a letter and a list of questions on a
physical reading for Mr. [
257] which he asked me to send to
you. I saw him yesterday and he has a hole in the middle of
his abdomen that you could stick your whole fist into. And,
I would feel much better if a few more days were past and I
could feel sure that Mr. [
257] is out of the woods. Frankly,
although everyone is very optimistic I am very much worried
about him, although I have not said that to him. So, far,
they have sewed him up four times and the stitches have not
held. It seems to me there must be something more wrong
there than the doctors are telling and I know you can find
out what is really wrong and tell them how to correct it.
And, you are the only one who can do this for him. There are
several questions that I have starred that I would
particularly like to have you answer in case you cannot
answer all of them. Please show this letter to whoever is
going to take the Reading.
REPORTS
6/07/40 His sec'ty, Mrs. [
189], wrote:
Thanks very much for the Reading on Mr. [
257]. He is anxious
to follow it out and must begin in a hurry since he has to
use camphor for 15 days and atomodine for 15 days and since
he would like to get away by the end of the month, he must
start at once. Will you be good enough to wire him after
you have checked up, whether the battery used by Mrs. [
1838]
[See
1838-5 Reports.] is the same one that you want him to
use. If it is, we are picking it up to-day and he can start
at once. Otherwise, will you be good enough to arrange to
have one sent to him immediately by express. Will certainly
appreciate this cooperation on your part.
Mr. [
257] has been out in the sun a lot this last week and
is looking very well. The wound seems to be holding the
stitches and perhaps it will heal now. We all hope so.
I think the Reading was excellent and should help a lot.
Mr. [
257] will write you himself in the next day or two.
6/08/40 EC's wire: Same Appliance but prepare charge as
Reading indicated. Keep bottles and connections clean.
6/11/40 Mr. [
257] wrote: "The wound is still healing. It
itches like everything!... Do you ever hear from Franklin
Bradley? Oh yes, what about Carbon Ash? Can I get Ash here?
There is an English ash called 'Activated Ash.' Should I
take Ash AND the Battery?"
6/13/40 EC wrote: "No, I haven't heard from Mr. Bradley in
some time. Hugh Lynn may hear from him. I think he does,
but I rarely hear him speak of it of late. I don't know the
'Activated Ash.' If you will get a sample, we will see what
it is, but I don't think you need take this with the
Appliance; best not, as I understand."
7/07/40 He wrote from Chicago: "I arrived on Sunday, I feel
fine, except I get tired and sleepy and a little backache
occasionally... [He referred
2345-1, 2153-1,
2307-1 and
requested Business Rdg. 257-224.]
"I think I'll be here until Wed., maybe Thurs., and home
surely by Sat. You will know how I am by the Rdg. I hope I
haven't overdone myself. I used the Battery while home...
"God is good and just. His greatest blessing to me was the
friendship he gave to you and me, and I hope we shall
continue to enjoy His blessings together."
7/08/40 He obtained Ck. Physical Rdg.
257-223, for which he
wired that morning, to check blood pressure.
