TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here; this we have had before, Mrs. [356].
2. Now, as we find, conditions are somewhat different from those that we have had here before. Many conditions are for the improvement of the general physical forces.
3. There are the corrections in some portions of the system, and there are disturbances yet in some other portions.
4. As we find, these are the general disturbances and those conditions that are altered in the physical functioning:
5. Where there were those tendencies for an accumulation, or sedimentary conditions in the gall duct area, and for congestion there, this condition has been materially aided; but those tendencies produced in the system - making for slow re-action, or slow digestion in the duodenum and in the jejunum - these are still existent at times. Why?
6. The poisons that were producing the disorders have not been entirely eliminated from the system. While these conditions were materially aided, there is still the lack of the proper elimination from the colon area and a fullness at times exists there.
7. With the tendency of choking in the duodenum, there is the tendency for accumulations of gas; and the resultant effects are the pressures that are produced in the diaphragm area, with the resultant shortness of breath even at times some palpitation apparently in the heart action - though this is rather the regurgitation in the stomach, or digestive system, than organic disturbance of the heart itself; however, the pain or disturbance is at times felt in this area.
8. In the present, then, we would follow these directions for a period of two to three rounds of each of these ingredients given, resting a period of a week and then repeating the round of the various ingredients - see? This will not only make for the correction but tune or tone the system in such a way and manner as to be of material aid to the body:
9. The first day take a tablespoonful of Milk of Magnesia, in half a glass of water - preferably stirred in - and drinking a glass of water following.
10. Each of these, you see, would be taken at bedtime.
11. The next day take two teaspoonsful of Milk of Bismuth - and this would be better stirred in a glass of water also.
12. The next evening, when ready for retiring, take an Alophen pellet. This carries sufficient stimulant, not as a heavy cathartic but a stimuli for the circulation and for producing activity that will decrease the acidity and make for more alkalinity in the system.
13. The next evening take two Charcoal Tablets, see?
14. Then rest for three days. Then begin again. Then rest for three days. Then begin again. Then rest for a week or two weeks, for this will have cleansed the system.
15. As to the matter of diet, do not over-crowd the stomach at any time, and follow rather closely those outlines that have been given; or alter to this - though this is somewhat similar:
16. Mornings - stewed fruits or citrous fruits, or cereals; but do not take any of these both in the same morning, see? These may be altered with toast and coddled egg, occasionally a little very crisp bacon; not too heavy a breakfast, see?
17. Noons - rather vegetable soups, meat soups, or a GREEN salad. The salad may be of green vegetables or fresh fruits, though do not include berries. Apples, oranges, peaches, apricots, plums, cherries - such as these may be included but do not use blackberries or the like. Black RASPBERRIES may be taken, provided they are crushed well before being eaten.
18. Evenings - not too much meat, but a well-balanced vegetable diet. A little meat occasionally may be taken, chosen from fish, fowl, lamb, liver or such; but no red meats.
19. Following these, we would find there would be much better conditions for this body.
20. Occasionally, once or twice a week, it would be very beneficial to the body - making the body rest much better - to give a full vibration of the electrically driven vibrator over the whole cerebro-spinal system; that is, up and down the spine and around the neck and head.
21. Take sufficient exercise, and exercise in the SUN would be beneficial; though not sufficient to burn. Do not be out very much in the hot sun in the middle of the day; not after ten or before three - see?
22. Ready for questions.
23. (Q) What causes breaking out with hives or itching bumps?
    (A) Poisons from system, as we have indicated.
24. (Q) Is the Mineral Oil now being used the right thing, and should it be continued?
    (A) We would preferably use those that we have outlined here.
25. (Q) Is the body able to stand a trip to Virginia Beach?
    (A) It would be WELL for the body!
26. (Q) Any other advice for the body at this time?
    (A) Do not hesitate to take the enemas when necessary. Do as we have given, for these intimated here will assist in cleansing the colon from which the greater portion of the auto-intoxication arises in the present. It would be well, too, that a little oil - or agar and oil [Petrolagar?] - be used in the last of such enemas that may be taken, see? Whenever there is a heaviness in the abdominal region, it would be very well to take the enemas to cleanse these from the system. Even with taking the other properties that make for an activity through the alimentary canal, the enemas will cleanse drosses even that these laxatives do not remove from the folds of the colon.
27. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. See 356-1 on 6/10/31, for heart weakness, cholecystitis, etc., and subsequent Reports.
2. 5/02/32 Daughter's letter: "She seems perfectly well."
3. 6/05/33 "Mother is not so well and she asked me to write you for a rdg... What causes breaking out with hives or itching bumps? Is the mineral oil now being used the right thing, and should it be continued? Is she able to stand a trip soon to Va. Beach? Any other advice?"

REPORTS

1. 6/20/33 Daughter's letter: "Mother is delighted with her reading and it is a splendid one. I don't think I have read one more complete and as helpful as hers. Her condition was outlined in a most gratifying manner. She has started the treatment, and as I just wrote Mrs. Pope, her implicit faith is a great help and helped in getting such a complete reading..."
2. 8/11/33 Daughter's letter: "... I wish my son, [146] could respond as rapidly to the treatments as Mother does. Her improvement is absolutely wonderful. She stood the trip to Pa. as well as I..."
3. 1/08/34 "Mother is in such good health that it is just most unbelievable."
4. 1/26/34 Daughter's letter (which was used in toto under Feb. '34 A.R.E. Bulletin report of Mrs. [356]'s case) ends with this statement: "In June 1933 she had a ck. rdg. The report was very gratifying. With a few changes in the diet and some change in medicine, she has continued to gain in strength and weight."
5. 4/11/34 See 356-3 especially for laborious breathing and panting, especially when going up steps, which had developed since she had pneumonia in Feb.
6. See subsequent Reports under 356-1.
