TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering what questions might be submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes.
3. As we find, there are a great many disturbances here, mentally as well as physically; anxieties as to not only the physical conditions which have arisen within the activities of the body but as to the surrounding forces in relationships to same.
4. These may be best aided if there is a consistent activity through the administration of the neuropathic adjustments and rubs; as well as a very low form of electrical vibratory forces, - as may be had from the LOWEST application of the Short Wave applicator, see? The Short Wave machine, you see; about twice each week for twenty to thirty minutes at each application.
5. The neuropathic administration means following the nerve centers when there are the administrations of the massage. This MAY be done by a masseur or masseuse, if such an one is or will become well acquainted with the anatomical and the pathological reactions of nerve pressures in those areas from which the disturbances arise, both in the lower lumbar areas in this body and through the areas of the mammary glands; as well as for the throat, head and neck.
6. Do these; keeping the body in a better alkalized condition by the use of alkalines or by adhering to a diet in which there is not too much of sweets, but those that are of the natural sweets, - as from fruits, honey or the like, but not of cane sugar, or those where there are the combinations of too great a quantity of starches of any kind.
7. These as we find, if they are adhered to, will make for and bring better influences and forces for this body.
8. Do these, if we would bring for this body the better influences in the present.
9. Ready for questions.
10. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. See 464-23 on 9/07/38 and subsequent Reports.
2. 2/04/39 "I have just gone like a rag. I have no appetite, can't taste or smell, eyes bother me, hearing is getting about as bad as [husband] and so many headaches - hot head besides, all the rest of it, and there is plenty. I have aged 10 yrs. this winter with one thing and another. I wrote that I had a shock; well, I did, and this is the reaction more or less. I felt as though I were headed for the happy hunting grounds - all feelings and emotions. You know I never did get the chance to carry out the tr. fully for my weak back and legs, always something comes up to stop it...if only I could get back a sense of feeling besides unhappiness. I used to laugh and joke all the time. The joker seems to be lost out of the deck."

REPORTS

1. 2/20/39 "I have taken one tr. and I expect to take another tomorrow morning. Why can't these doctors do as they are told, but no, they must diagnose the case to suit themselves and use their own judgement and treat accordingly."
2. 3/18/39 Wire: "A reading for dizziness. Telegraph answer collect."
3. 3/18/39 See 464-25.
