TEXT

1. EC: We have the body here - this we have had before. Conditions have changed somewhat since we had them here before. These are not good at this time at all. There is seen that there has again been the hindrance in the elimination to the extent as to cause, as it were, reinfection, or the reaction of those conditions that would bring about the congestion of forces that become destructive within their own selves [cancerous?] to and in the system, as is indicated by the hardening of the gland tissue and this forming in the manner as seen. These may be assisted yet, somewhat, will the body but adhere to those things given. BEWARE of meats. This has caused the greater distress at the present time. The reaction of meats in the vibratory forces as are set in system, through the assimilation of such forces in the physical body. We would recharge those vibrations as are set up in the Radium Appliance, see? We would use those same eliminants as have been used; that of the ambrosia weed; and use also that of the lotion for the portions of body where the condition is existent along the gland, though not OVER the AFFECTED part itself, see? Do that. These will bring the nearer proper reaction for the body. Ready for questions. Keep off of feet as much as possible, as has been given. Necessary that an amount of exercise, or some exercise be taken, for the natural reactions of the body mentally and physically; yet these should not be ESPECIALLY in any way that strains any muscle or tissue of the body, either with the weights or the turning and twisting of the body, or of excessive heat.
2. (Q) What lotion should be used on the breast?
   (A) Iodex.
3. (Q) Should anything be applied to the blisters?
   (A) No, for the excretions from same will be bad, were these not absorbed properly from the system. Of course this may be protected, or the rest of the body protected against the excretions from same.
4. (Q) Would soft cloths oiled with Vaseline be good to put over them?
   (A) Anything that acts as a protective and an absorbent for same. Not as healing properties - that's the greater thing, or that which does cause the excretions to be gradually localized.
5. (Q) What would be a correct diet for the body at this time?
   (A) Vegetable diet, or pre-digested foods. These that are not so acid, or any acid. Well that those properties that keep the eliminations set, as in the ambrosia [as in 569-9] - be kept with these that tend to bring more of the alkaline condition as would be in the diet itself. Now there are reactions from fruits that apparently are acid, yet in system are not; such as any of the citrous fruits, see? Apples the body should NOT eat. Nuts in small quantities, or nut foods; but no meats - [though] or fish may be taken.
6. (Q) How would two orangeades be for her a day?
   (A) Be WELL, for the reactions of these are good.
7. (Q) Should the Petrolagar be taken at this time?
   (A) Petrolagar very good. RATHER would we use those that are more alkaline even than the alkaline Petrolagar for the system. While the White Oil [Nujol - Usoline] may be taken as a lubricant, but more of that which will bring a rather relaxed force in an ALKALINE manner. Milk of Magnesia, or such reactions, are well, see? This may be taken in small or large quantities.
   Well that it be changed; not kept in ONE way and manner; that is, begin with small dose, gradually increase, then gradually decrease, then increase again, see? so that the system may have an OPPORTUNITY, as it were, to react itself, so that the system sets up eliminations in the opposite direction from storing in body, or adding to the already kindled fuels in the condition in glands.
8. (Q) What will relieve the stabbing pains in the breast?
   (A) The changing of the circulation only. They will have to be endured to some extent until this may be set up, for what would relieve would necessarily become a narcotic to other portions of the system, which would be detrimental in its reaction.
9. (Q) Has the body any temperature?
   (A) At times.
10. (Q) Should any stimulant of any kind be taken?
    (A) Not just at present, until eliminations are set differently. Wine or champagne might be taken, but not so strong ALCOHOLIC stimulants.
11. (Q) Would beef, iron and wine [Wyeth's Beef, Iron & Wine] be good to take?
    (A) Not at the present time. This may be better to build up after eliminations are set up, but not at the PRESENT time.
12. (Q) Any further advice for the assistance of this body?
    (A) Follow closely in the ways as have been outlined.
13. That is all the questions.
14. We are through with this reading.

REPORTS

1. 9/05/28 Ltr. thanked EC for the rdg. and said she was following it as closely as possible: "I am taking my ragweed mixture, Milk of Magnesia and orange juice. Now you didn't say how often I should take the Milk of Magnesia. I am taking a teaspoonful between breakfast and dinner (lunch) and then if I suffer very much with acid stomach I take another spoonful at bedtime. Is that alright? I have gotten so I can't eat hardly anything without it making so much gas on my stomach. I become so nauseated I can hardly stand it... I have almost lost my appetite. I eat a little oatmeal and piece of toast for breakfast and feel satisfied. Have been enjoying tomatoes and breakfast bacon but since I rec'd the rdg. I have not only cut out those but the good apple sauce and boiled country ham. The very day the rdg. came I made the nicest dish of apple sauce, and as brother...will be here tonight for a few days of his vacation we bought the nicest country ham and boiled half of it and will have the other with nice spotted gravy, but I am not worrying, for somehow I don't crave it in the least. I only wish I could go somewhere that I wouldn't ever have to think of cooking. It's awfully hard on me to have to be where there's so much to be done and not feel like you are simply compelled to help. Seems like [1795] and Aunt [265] give out so easily - of course they are getting up in years...
   "You wouldn't think I was nearly crazy with the headache from this wild letter. It's been coming on all day - I've just got to stop and take something before it gets any worse."
2. 11/20/28 See 569-17 with special reference to eyes and breast.
