TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [602]; this we have had before.
2. As we find the conditions in the present, these are rather severe and very taxing upon the system; and will produce, unless some corrections are brought about, very disturbing conditions.
3. The basic condition as we find, then, is an excess alkalinity in the system, so that neither in the duodenum nor through the lower portion of digestion is there the gastric flow sufficient for an equal balance for proper digestion and assimilation.
4. One means would be taking, under the direction of a physician, Hydrochloric Acid. This as we find would be rather severe for the body, and would bring about some disturbances.
5. The better as we find then would be to take quite precautionary measures and self apply these in the way and manner, while taking a few days longer, would make for the bettered conditions through these portions of the body.
6. The reactions from such things (that is, this condition) to the head, the drying of the throat, the weaknesses of the body, the tendencies for rash or irritations, the aching to the whole of the lower portions and all, are attending or resultant conditions from these that have been indicated.
7. We would begin with these:
8. First we would prepare an ounce of Milk of Bismuth with a quarter ounce of Elixir of Lactated Pepsin in same. Shake well together and take about half a teaspoonful in half a glass of water. Stir well. Take about twice or three times each day.
9. Begin with the use of a good Charcoal Tablet, that would be taken once or twice a day, or three times. This just after the meals.
10. We would have saline and soda enemas.
11. And we would with the diet be very, very careful. We would begin with the taking of Dry or Malted Milk with a little spirits frumenti and the yolk of an egg beat in same. This would be taken as a meal or part of a meal about once or twice a day.
12. We would take the juices but not the meats, of beef - or beef juice, see?
13. We would refrain from the very heavy foods; though those that carry some weight should be taken with the food values; as in Rye Bread (and this would be rather the bread, toasted or just as it is), with a little Red Wine occasionally.
14. And keep the body quiet.
15. We would use the vibrations of the Radio-Active Appliance for the keeping of the circulation better.
16. These as we find would be the applications for the body in the present.
17. Not that there are no other foods to be taken than that given; for a little crisp bacon may be taken once or twice a day; coffee, tea or milk if these agree may be taken at the regular meal time, but do not be too active.
18. Taking the Radio-Active Appliance twice a day for an hour will not be too much, though it may be too much in the beginning - but may be used more as the vibrations are helped.
19. Do that.
20. Ready for questions.
21. (Q) Is there any excess of bile or what causes the nausea and vomiting?
    (A) As indicated, it is rather the lack of the sufficient acid or hydrochlorics in the lower portion of the digestive system. Hence those things as indicated. For the nausea we would prepare:

    Limewater...........................1 ounce,

    Cinnamon Water......................1 ounce,
10% solution Iodide of Potassium...10 minims,
10% solution Bromide of Potassium..10 minims.

    Take a teaspoonful once or twice a day, or when there is the inclination for the nausea. But after two to three of the Charcoal Tablets and three or four doses of the Milk of Bismuth and Lactated Pepsin, we should not have the nausea.
    But the use of the enemas is to clear the system from the character of the excess of the inflammation created by this very condition.
    Hot Salts Packs over the liver and the gall duct area will help also. These not too often, but when in pain.
22. (Q) Please give list of foods to be avoided by this body.
    (A) As indicated, not any very heavy foods in the present. Follow more of the diet that has been heretofore outlined for the body.
23. (Q) Are grapefruit and oranges good for this body and when should they be eaten?
    (A) Leave these off for the present. These have been somewhat in excess, and in the manner taken have been a contributory condition to the excess alkalinity.
24. (Q) What causes pain in the eyes and how should this be corrected?
    (A) The poor circulation, and if the body rests and gets the circulation better equalized these will feel considerably better.
25. (Q) How long would you recommend this treatment be continued?
    (A) Until the body feels a little bit more strengthened or a great deal better; should be at least in a week to ten days better near to normal. Then gradually return to a more normal diet, to be sure.
    When the beef juice is taken, sip it. Do not take spoonsful. Sip at least three sips for half a teaspoonful. This is the manner. Let it be assimilated with the gastric juices of the mouth, the esophagus, the upper portion of the stomach; for these are strengthening and supply the elements. The system is to build the elements from those forces as indicated.
26. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. She obtained previously three Physical Rdgs., the last being 602-3 on 7/02/34 for a foot condition.
2. 2/28/37 Husband [333]'s ltr.: "Mrs. [602] is in bad need of your help... The condition has grown quite acute, occurring about every two weeks."

REPORTS

1. 3/14/37 Husband [333]'s letter: "I must tell you of the wonderful improvement in Mrs. [602]'s condition since applying the measures as given in the check reading you so kindly gave for her.
   "You may remember that the same rapid improvement followed the first reading you ever gave for her just seven years ago.
   "Her condition physically and mentally has improved wonderfully and I think that there is a possibility that she may want to check up again soon as you suggest.
   "I feel that again we just took it in time. I for one do not want to see her suffer again as she has been doing regularly every ten days or two weeks for months past.
   "We thank you more than words can express for your kindly and loving interest."
2. 3/22/37 "Well, things did not go so good yesterday with Mrs. [602].
   "It started with a headache in the morning, growing worse, followed by nausea. Giving the lime and cinnamon and salt [GD's note: I notice he wrote salt packs, while the reading said salts packs - which I interpret to mean Epsom Salts Packs? or did he mean just plain salt packs?] packs aggravated the condition until Mrs. [602] nearly went crazy with the suffering. What went wrong we don't know. Would you please check up on this?
   "What caused the upheaval March 21st? "Was the solution of Lime and Cinnamon Water prepared and given as it should be? "Were Salt packs prepared and used on right area? "What are indications at present? "Should there be any change in treatment or diet?"
3. 3/23/37 See 602-5.
