TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [288]; this we have had before.
3. As we find in the present, there is rather an acute condition arising from toxic forces produced by poisons - by indigestion through the alimentary canal, more than in the stomach proper.
4. This naturally, under strain, makes for a distribution of such poisons through the system.
5. This, combined with the upsetting - or an upset condition in the glandular forces of the pelvis, produces this acute condition in the glands of throat, glands through the body, glands even through the limbs, the head, the throat, the neck.
6. Then, this will require time. But DO NOT OVERTAX the eliminating channels. Best that an oil, like Petrolagar or the like, be taken to allow the body to adjust itself.
7. Keep quiet as much as possible for at least eight to ten hours, and we should find bettered conditions for the body.
8. It would be well if an electric pad or the like were put over the area of the 9th dorsal AND the caecum; not too hot - but put on low for two to three hours. This should take two pads, but do keep them on low, see - and rest!
9. Take some foods in the body, - these should be semi-liquid, not altogether liquids.
10. Massage the areas over which the pads are put, with an equal combination of the Mutton Tallow (melted), Spirits of Turpentine and Spirits of Camphor, at least a tablespoonful of these. Massage these into the body, the throat, the neck, base of the brain, and along the upper portion of spine, - over the 9th dorsal and over the sacrum and lower portion of the gall duct area.
11. These should make for betterment of conditions for the body.
12. Drink plenty of water, - that is, two, three, four, five glasses during the next eight to ten hours.
13. Ready for questions.
14. (Q) Should I do anything to start menstruation?
    (A) This should be under the direction of a physician.
15. (Q) Should I see a physician regarding this (not having menstruated since early October)?
    (A) As just given, this should be done under the direction of a physician.
16. (Q) What has caused the stoppage of menstruation since October?
    (A) The conditions in the glandular forces, and worry and anxiety.
17. (Q) Should anything be done for the loose tooth besides the use of Ipsab?
    (A) Have a dentist observe it. [See 288-54, Par. R2.]
18. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. 10/10/42 She obtained Ck. Physical 288-53 for nervous shock from auto accident.
2. 1/27/43 She submitted questions, saying she had acute indigestion two days ago and called in doctor who says she has the mumps. She has not menstruated since Oct. and wants the advice of the rdg. before consulting the M.D. on this.

REPORTS

1. 2/04/43 She requested Ck. Physical 288-55, saying: "I went to Dr. W. L. Taylor (M.D.) regarding stopping of menstruation since Oct. 10th. Rather, I had him come to me since I had been bedridden with the mumps, first in one side, then the other. He asked me, 'Are you sure you're not pregnant?' I assured him that although I would dearly love to bear a child, I had never known a man. (The rdg. 288-54 was right about me worrying. I had family-troubles besides financial ones. My brother [391] and his wife [934] had separated, were being divorced, and I was taking care of their little boy [1208]. My sister [2111] was living with me, with her family, and she was pregnant expecting a second child).
   "Dr. Taylor finally recommended stilbestrol tablets, synthetic estrogen, female sex hormones - one tablet each night. I have taken six of these, but they have made me terribly nauseated. I am determined not to take any more of them unless the reading says it is absolutely necessary. Dr. Taylor said if these tablets don't work, I am possibly starting the menopause and he will give me a shot in the hip each week for several months to tide me over that!!!
   "I have two lumps or bags, goitre like, under my chin, which developed when the mumps swelling decreased." [2/04/43 See 288-55.]
2. 10/45 "The Ipsab tightened the tooth somewhat and the dentist watched it, thinking I would lose it shortly [Dr. T. L. Brooks, Jr.]. It was a lower front tooth. Recently it came out and Dr. Brooks took my measurements for preparing a tooth to insert or attach. While waiting for it, I kept pushing the teeth on each side toward the middle, with my tongue. When I went back for the false tooth he could not place it, since the space for it had closed up. He said he'd never seen such a thing happen."
3. 6/69 "To this date I have all my front teeth, though the lower front ones have been tightened up many times by the use of Ipsab."
