TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, [349]; this we have had before.
3. As we find, while there are definite improvements, there are some conditions sought or desired toward which there is much to be added or accomplished, for the better activities through the physical forces of the body.
4. The definite changes are in those directions in which there is the ability more to relax, less of the general nerve strain. However, there are some congestions still in areas through the system, and the general toning up of the vital energies and forces of the body is still needed.
5. As we find, we would continue with those applications which have been suggested and made for the body.
6. Also we would have rest periods, and keep in the sunshine as much as practical; that there may be the absorption of the ultra-violet activities through the system itself. These are better gained or attained from the exercises in the sunshine than in any other form.
7. In the matter of the diets, - include all fruits and vegetables, especially those that are by nature yellow in color.
8. Keep up the eliminations and the general activities for mental and physical stimulation or relaxation, for greater constructive and creative forces.
9. Thus we will bring the near normal conditions for this body.
10. There are periods when the hurriedness, from the general nervousness, causes rather the acute conditions which are apparent in the area above the caecum and in the right side, between the lacteal center area and the liver. This is partially from a subluxation, or a subjugation of the activity of the gall duct itself.
11. Hence the high colonics, the special diets as indicated, - that is, fruits and vegetables and the like that are of the color indicated, which carry quantities of the vitamins necessary to stimulate not only this depletion in the nerve supplies and energies but in the blood force itself, and which will aid also especially in the activities towards energizing, revivifying the activities of the organs of reproduction.
12. Thus those tendencies may be overcome which have existed that prevent the more perfect activity in the functioning of the ovaries themselves, as related to forming and giving the proper association of semens for those activities which produce or bring about reproduction in the system.
13. Then, we would have rest, activity, stimulation, and those specific corrections as indicated.
14. Ready for questions.
15. (Q) Is there still an accumulation of waste in system?
    (A) If there had not been, there would not be the suggestion to increase the eliminations and to assist in the eliminating of same.
16. (Q) Is the spot under left arm, where mole was removed, healing properly?
    (A) It's very well. Just don't make a taxation, or anything that will rub or irritate same.
17. (Q) Why do I feel occasional sharp and momentary twinges of pain from right temple thru lower right part of head, behind the right ear?
    (A) Only those reflexes from the general nervous relaxation, from overtension that has existed for so long through the physical forces of the body. The attempts of the body to gain an equilibrium.
18. (Q) The pain in right shoulder occasionally?
    (A) This arises from the excesses of poisons and the acidity in the system.
19. (Q) What treatments to help eyes?
    (A) The same treatments that have been indicated for the general health of the body; the hydrotherapy, as combined with the general massage and corrections along the cerebro- spinal system. Do those things as we have indicated, and we will bring the better forces for this body.
20. (Q) What can I do to cure mucous thru nasal passages and in throat?
    (A) Keep the exercises in the open, and especially in the sunshine.
21. (Q) Should I take treatment for piles?
    (A) Rather take the GENERAL treatments and let these aid and bring about the better conditions for the whole general system.
22. (Q) Is there any improvement in the right ovary?
    (A) As indicated, there is a GENERAL improvement in the whole body.
    As to the ovary disturbance, this has not been aided a great deal as yet. There needs to be more the general treatment, more rest, more exercise and activity in the sunshine.
    Do as given, for all of these are taken into consideration.
23. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. See 349-21 on 9/12/39 and subsequent Reports.
2. 3/19/40 She submitted questions, including:
   "Is there any specific improvement since last rdg.? Should treatments be continued [with Dr. Louis H. Backman, Ph.T.], which I stopped about a month ago? Which ones? Is there still congestion in the reproductive organs? If so, where specifically? Am I now able to conceive a child? If not, where is the seat of the disturbance and what tr. should be given, and how, to bring about normal functioning of reproductive organs? Any special dietary regime to follow? What is cause of irritation to womb, as given, and what is its position that prevents conception? Is there a source of irritation anywhere in body conducive to cancer? If so, where - and what tr. is necessary?"

REPORTS

1. 4/04/40 "I was very happy to get the rdg. and have practically memorized it. I'm more full of vitamins in the past week or two than I have been in all my life.
   "I telephoned Dr. Backman but he has been in the hospital. I think he is still there and I am going to call again today to see if they have found anyone to give treatments as he does.
   "We haven't had much sunlight, and the day or two we did have, I spent indoors at a rummage sale which our charity organization is running, to try to earn some money and I had volunteered to donate my time. However, from now on, bring on the sun and watch me 'wallow' in it."
2. 9/13/40 "I now have some real news for you and I guess you can imagine what it is. Maybe you're not surprised but I guess I am. I have definite confirmation from the doctor so I guess it is more or less official, although it probably won't happen until about Easter. Of course, [2573] and the family are delighted but so far with me it hasn't seemed to really penetrate as yet. I guess it will, soon enough.
   "I'm terribly grateful to you and when the rdg. stated that I needed to rest, that was all the assurance I wanted. I knew it would happen ultimately, and when it did, that my health would be ever so much improved. The funny part of it is that I had been expecting to look for a job this Fall because I have a few outstanding debts, I guess they could be called - among which the reading is one, but now I don't want to take a chance at jeopardizing anything, by working, as I don't feel it would do me any good."
3. 9/18/40 EC's letter: "May His richest blessings be with you... May the loveliest soul, ever, come to you at this time. Take real good care of yourself. That, of course you know, is most necessary. Eat the right things and think the right thoughts, if you would have the best."
4. 1/06/41 "Things are pretty much the same. I'm waiting for the end of March, and I thank God that I never felt better in my life. I guess the time will pass quickly and it will be here before we know it. It's a rather strange but wonderful idea to try to get used to."
