TEXT

1. EC: Yes - we have the body here, [274].
2. As we find, conditions are not so good. If the body had followed those suggestions as indicated for purifying or cleansing more of the body, producing a better coordination between the circulation of lungs, liver and kidneys, we would not have had this condition arising where there is such an incoordination in the eliminating channels of the body.
3. Thus the poisons that should be eliminated through the alimentary canal, by the activity of the liver and the gall duct upon the food forces, and the inability of the system to digest fats and certain foods to which it becomes allergic, are tended to be eliminated through the skin; which also upsets the coordination between the liver and kidneys in their activity.
4. It would be well, as we find, for the body to refrain from great quantities of butter fats or milk, or cheese, or any of those things that carry the necessity for the activity of the liver in the emptying or pouring into the system fats of any kind that cause the rash, or the eczema that appears as a rash on parts of the body.
5. We would bathe the rash, or the affected parts, two or three times a day with full strength Glyco-Thymoline.
6. Also take internally three to four drops of Glyco-Thymoline in water two to three times a day.
7. Use also the ultra-violet as a correction for the system. Have this at least thirty-eight to forty-two inches (38" to 42") from the body, and take not more than three minutes at a time.
8. But do have the applications [Glyco-Thymoline] externally and internally as indicated, that will eliminate the poisons from the system; else with the use of the ultra-violet it will tend to drive same in - unless these precautions are taken.
9. Do have plenty of raw, fresh vegetables and fruits. But do not include apples in the diet. Other fruits will be better.
10. Take tomato juice regularly.
11. And do have an eliminant, - such as kraut juice would be well.
12. These as we find, with a general massage, should eradicate these conditions and assist in building the body back to a more normal condition.
13. Ready for questions.
14. (Q) Is this rash an allergic case?
    (A) As indicated, there are certain foods, or properties in foods, to which the body has become allergic, - which is those that are not assimilated through the regular digestive system.
    Hence the necessity of purifying the alimentary canal through the use of the properties indicated (Glyco-Thymoline), and the application of same externally.
    Of course, keep the liver active. This may be best done through the use of massage, or osteopathy, to stir the liver, - from those centers or areas from which radiates the impulse for activity to the organ itself. Those areas from the 4th and 5th dorsal up.
15. (Q) Is there a lack of calcium and phosphorus?
    (A) Lack of calcium and phosphorus, but this will be added in the character of foods indicated; though it may be added, if properly assimilated, in the use of CALCIOS - and the proper calcium and phosphorus foods. These are better supplied in the foods, of course.
16. (Q) What about the milk?
    (A) Take only small quantities, not large quantities; and not that which is too rich with cream. Refrain from butter and cheeses.
17. (Q) Gum condition is still bad.
    (A) The Ipsab should be used as a wash. Also the change in the diet will be beneficial in gradually clearing the condition; as well as the use of the ultra-violet and the cleansing fluids.
18. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. See 274-16 on 11/04/41 for inflamed tonsils, etc.
2. 6/06/42 He wrote: "Have not as yet followed last rdg. recomendations because of rather weakening skin condition which I'd like to have cleared through new rdg... Reddish irritation developing at times in eczema-like itching scales, more or less localized on the scrotum and on the groin. Is it an allergic case? Is it a lack of calcium and phosphorus? Is it a liver-gall bladder-kidney condition? A local doctor has recommended: (1) cutting out of the diet all milk, eggs, butter, wheat (whole or otherwise), chocolate, fish, all fats, and all citrus fruits and pineapple. (2) Vitamin B1, D, lactic cultures. (3) local ultra-violet rays application. (4) Rest of the nervous system.
   "Used to drinking a qt. of milk a day, I have lost quite some weight which I can ill afford. Have had recurrence of stomach pains relieved by eating. And skin trouble, while less apparent, is still telling on nerves. Gums condition is still bad with one tooth decaying. Throat condition better."
