TEXT

GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions she has submitted as I ask them:
EC: Yes.
Now as we find, there have been the effects of a violent reaction from the influences or applications for the body; produced or caused by the attempts of the system to throw more of the poisons from the affected forces about the liver and the gall duct and portions of the hepatic circulation, than the eliminating systems were caring for.
If there had been several high enemas when this first began, to eliminate from the lymph and emunctory circulations the pressure caused there, we find there would not have been this reaction.
Hence we find in the present we would keep those applications which have been heretofore, or lastly, indicated for the body.
But watch closely the eliminations as related to the alimentary canal AND the kidneys; using the enemas or hot and cold packs to produce a greater reaction when these tend in the least to become sluggish or slow in their activity.
Thus we will find the conditions soon clearing, and - as these are cleared - gradually better influences and forces coming for the body.
Ready for questions.
(Q) What is causing the hair to fall out and what can be done to restore it?
(A) This arises from impoverishment of forces or influences to the activity of the glandular system from which there are the secretions to keep such portions active in the body. As a portion of treatments, then, we would use the extracts that would cause a greater activity of the thymus or thyroids in the system, and we will find this will be improved. A great deal may be gained from the use in the diet of the Irish potato peel and that portion close to same. However, the thyroid extract taken in small quantities would be beneficial. The salts in the potato peel, though. Prepare the potatoes so that the jackets may be eaten. If these are desired boiled, it is preferable to boil them in Patapar Paper, so that the elements may be preserved. If the body prefers them roasted or baked, these may be taken, - but do not burn the peel so that the skin and that close to same - for at least an eighth of an inch - is destroyed by being so charred as to drive out the salts necessary for activity in the system.
Upon the scalp use such as Listerine as a wash. Then use an oil, such as the white oil or white vaseline; and cleanse same with a very WEAK solution of grain alcohol. This tends to make for a stimulating of the scalp circulation and to close the ends of the hairs themselves; as do the others tend to stimulate the activity to the scalp circulation.
The base, though, as indicated, is from glandular conditions.
(Q) What causes the terrific tightening of the scalp?
(A) The natural contraction when there is the poison in the system so that there is the attempt of the glandular forces, especially of the thyroid and from the vagus center, to produce sufficient of a balance to supply the needs of the system for preserving those portions of the system. As this affects this part of the system, then there are the recurrent conditions.
(Q) Should there be a change in diet?
(A) The diet has been outlined very well for the body, save as has just been indicated here, - as to the preparation of the jackets of potatoes.
(Q) To what is the body allergic?
(A) Those conditions that cause activities to the liver itself. Some colors, some lights. To these the body is allergic.
(Q) Any special colors or lights?
(A) Any of those that are deep or mournful, as might be said.
(Q) What causes the cramp in the big toe?
(A) The association and connection as it were with the glandular system. Relief may be obtained not only by emptying but cleansing and purifying the colon, and by a massage to the centers from which the impulses are received to the lower portion of the foot.
(Q) How soon can the body hope to be restored to good health?
(A) This depends upon the care and precaution taken, and how consistent the application of suggestions for the improvement in the conditions.
As we find, in the next few months there should be a recovery that will make the body in a much BETTER condition than it has been for a long, long, LONG time!
(Q) When is the real date of the body's birth?
(A) We haven't the birthdate here.
We are through with this Reading.

BACKGROUND

See 337-23 on 8/25/38 for glandular disturbance; swellings on face, neck, eyes; heavy fatigue, etc.; and subsequent Reports indicating improvement.
12/10/38 Daughter, Miss [5416], submitted questions:
"What causes the violent reactions? [To Dr. Mary Miller's treatments?] What causes hair to fall out? Should there be a change in diet? How soon can the body hope to be restored to good health? To what is the body allergic? What causes the terrific tightening of the scalp? What causes the cramp in the big toe? Etc."

REPORTS

12/22/38 Husband, Mr. [5417], sent Christmas check, saying:
"We - Mrs. [337], [5416] and myself - want you to know how grateful we all are to you for the many courtesies extended to me and mine."
3/30/39 Daughter [5416] submitted questions: "Mother [337] has been feeling poorly and requests a ck. rdg. What causes the terrible weak feeling in the groin? The food to remain undigested in the body? Discomfort in breathing at times? Pains in uterus? Prescribe treatment for the restoration of the hair to bring about a normal condition. Nails split and are in bad condition. What can be done to correct this? Has the body been completely cooperating with instructions given in rdg.? What causes periods of utter fatigue? How soon can a near normal condition be expected? Are there any foods, cosmetics, or other things the body is allergic to? State general condition."
