Time and Place: 10:40 to 10:50 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Va.

TEXT

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:
EC: Yes.
As we find, as combined with cold, congestion, some mental anxiety, the disturbances through the gall duct area and liver area, and the lack of the eliminations, - these blocking with the lower hepatic circulation, - we have a lumbago reaction, or more of a neuralgia reaction.
We would use the Castor Oil Packs. In the present, however, we would have sufficient flannel to wrap ENTIRELY AROUND the body, see? and this just as warm as the body can stand without too much heat; not so that the reaction is to cause the flowing out, but rather to set up the absorption. Hence a hot pad, or electric pad (but very low), front and back, would be well. These we would use for an hour and a half. Then take internally a tablespoonful of Olive Oil.
While this will require a day or so for the reaction to become near normal again, it should relieve this aching, the strenuous conditions through the whole of the abdominal area, the head, the nausea, and all of those troublesome disturbances, - if these are aroused to their activity.
If it is necessary to repeat the Packs, use them for two days the next time before taking the Olive Oil; that is, an hour and a half each day for two days - then take the Oil.
Also we find that one or two artichokes taken, one or two days apart, will be most helpful in causing the better activity of the sugar, or the glandular force as related to the pancreas in its relationships to kidneys and better eliminations in these directions; clarifying and purifying the system from the toxic poisons that arise from the uremia which has been a part of the congestion which has arisen. In this particular case we would only take the two artichokes, you see; two small ones about the size of a guinea egg, one taken one day and the other about two days later - the Jerusalem artichoke, you see; taken raw - but at mealtime with other foods, see?
Do that.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Is the belladonna plaster harmful or helpful?
(A) In this case it only proves irritating. This is generally a very good application, but the eliminations are not sufficient, see?
(Q) Any special diet, other than the artichoke?
(A) Only the two artichokes would be added at this time, you see; and then all of those things that are yellow in color, specially; as yellow cream, yellow butter, yellow cheese; carrots, squash (which you should be able to obtain now, in some directions); all of these are well for the body. Not too much of meats, though fowl and fish may be taken. Raw vegetables, of course, and citrus fruit juices, and vegetable juices, are all very good.
We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

See 379-14 on 9/15/39 for cholecystitis.
3/28/40 Friend Miss [307] phoned saying Mrs. [379] was in bed and wanted a Ck. Physical as quickly as possible. "What is cause and relief of condition in head, back, throat, chest, and pains in limbs? Is the belladonna plaster harmful or helpful? Any special diet? Ask any questions that may present themselves."

REPORTS

10/31/40 She reported good results from following all of her physical readings, saying: "I feel that because of recurring conditions it has been that the treatments have not been persisted in long enough. I do know that every diagnosis has been accurate, and because of this source of information I am better fitted to cope with and understand disturbing conditions in the body as they present themselves."
2/15/41 She obtained her next Ck. Physical, 379-16.
