TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [264]. This we have had before. Now, as we find, conditions are very good in the physical functioning of the body. While there has been at this period more eliminations than at some times, these are, as we find, the effects of those applications in part that have been made, respecting the changing of the vibrations, through the effect of the low electrical or the magnetic vibrations that have been set up in system. While these have not as yet caused, with the other applications that have been made, the whole turning loose of the plethora condition, these have made for less irritating with the eliminations. Still those precautions should be taken that there are not infectious forces in or through such periods. We will find that these applications, when made with the right hand nearer that plexus from which the organs of the pelvis receive their impulse, and the left hand or the negative over those portions where the conditions exist, these will make for such absorptions as to make a normal condition come about much sooner than would otherwise. While the period is so severe, this need not be given for such a long period, but should at least be given for sufficient period to set up that vibration that is created by the vibrations from the body so applying same, or for twenty to twenty-five minutes. In the regular period these should be for thirty to forty-five minutes. As to the time these are given, once each day is sufficient during the regular periods. When the periods are so severe, every other day will be sufficient - see?
2. Those properties that have been taken, that are being taken in the vibrations for the extremities of body, these we would keep in much the same way and manner.
3. We would not alter or change much in the diet, save that which will keep as much of the replenishing and rebuilding forces for the body as possible, or keep the replenishing above the eliminating, and we will not have so great a weakness and there will be the reactions the sooner from same.
4. In those applications that come through the holding of the meditation period, well that the body hold this:
5. AS OTHERS AND I SEEK FOR THOSE CONSCIOUSNESSES OF THE SPIRIT OPERATING THROUGH ME, SO MAY THERE BE DONE IN MY BODY THAT AS THE FATHER SEETH I HAVE NEED OF AT THIS TIME, THROUGH THE FAITH IN HIS SON.
6. Ready for questions.
7. (Q) Why does ash which is now being taken have an unpleasant taste?
   (A) This has not been prepared wholly just as the other has, but this will be found to be as effective. We would keep these up.
8. (Q) The dosage should not be increased as yet?
   (A) Should not be increased as yet. Let this turn loose first.
9. (Q) Should inhalant be continued as is now used?
   (A) When necessary for the clearing or clarifying of the mucomembranes in throat or head, use same.
10. (Q) Would it be just as effective for the magnetic treatments to be given at nine o'clock in the evening if the Glad Helpers hold her name during the eleven-thirty meditation in the morning?
    (A) This has been given, WHENEVER this is given - and it has been given what should be the meditation, or that held at the period of meditation.
11. (Q) Any other advice that will be of benefit to the body?
    (A) Do this at the present.
12. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. 4/14/32 She obtained Check Physical reading 264-19 advising continued treatment to accomplish spiritual healing; maintaining absence of anemia and preventing surgery for uterine tumor by way of absorption.
2. 5/15/32 She phoned asking if she should secure Dr. Edward P. Brenner [D.C.]'s cooperation in giving her magnetic treatments during one of the meditation periods of A.R.E. Prayer Group. [See 281-5, 275-26, 2155-2, etc., as explained to her in a letter by EC.]

REPORTS

1. 5/23/32 EC's letter to Dr. [539], under 2155-2 Reports, indicated that Dr. Edw. P. Brenner [D.C.] had told him [EC] that the first few days of giving Mrs. [264] the magnetic treatments she was rather quiet, then there was a period of about a week when seemingly there was great aggravation to the condition, then gradually the improvement.
   "...It is the character of a case that has seemed so hopeless - an ovarian tumor. She had been too weak for an operation, heart action too bad, blood supply very much below normal - but she has been gradually building up, and the lump itself has decreased from about the size of a big grapefruit to not much larger than a hen egg, without an operation. Her blood count has gone up, heart action is better, appetite and activity of the body very much better.
   "I merely tell you this, as I know such things must be of interest..."
2. 5/27/32 Husband [853] requested a Business reading, saying: "...If I cannot stop my wife from worrying over my financial condition I think she will not get well at all. She is losing ground so rapidly from worry over our debts that I fear she will not live long..."
3. 6/08/32 He [853] wrote: "...My wife is some better now, but I do not know how long she will stay that way as it takes so little to upset her in her present condition... She improves like a miracle as long as she is not worried..."
4. 6/15/32 She [264] obtained Check Physical reading 264-21.
