TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical conditions of this body at the present time, with suggestions for corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes - we have the body here.
3. This as we find is rather a combination of ACUTE conditions. This will require precautions and carefulness, to prevent a great trouble.
4. These are those effects of changes in the glandular forces in the body; so that the body has been and is having partially, and at times wholly, a neuralgia of the ovaries.
5. We find that also the appendicial area is being affected.
6. Keep the body quiet.
7. Apply hot Castor Oil Packs, for nearly an hour each day - for at least forty-five minutes each day for three days in succession. Use three to four thicknesses of flannel soaked in the Castor Oil, not just pouring it on but soaking the flannel in the warm oil, and apply not too hot but quite warm; especially over the right ovary area and at the caecum or appendicial area, so it may extend across the whole of the lower abdomen. Put these on warm, then apply an oilcloth to prevent soiling the linens, etc., and then use an electric pad to keep same warm for the forty-five minutes - but have it on low heat.
8. On the evening of the third day, take internally and equal combination of Olive Oil and Peanut Oil - a tablespoonful of each.
9. After resting three days, then repeat these.
10. Should there be greater temperature, we had better have the attention of a surgeon; for it may bring disturbances, but these applications should relieve the body.
11. Keep the body off the feet for at least twelve days.
12. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) Does this condition cause the misery in the back?
    (A) This IS the condition of misery in back. It also causes the lack of energy and of appetite.
14. (Q) Is a tonic needed?
    (A) Let's cleanse the system first. Don't "tonic" it until there is a cleansing of the system. Then we should add the vitamins. For this body, use VIMS. This is the whole combination. Take them as directed on the package. This has minerals as well as the vitamins necessary, but clear the system of these conditions first.
    During this cleansing period, don't eat too much solid food of any kind. Oatmeals, cereals; fruit that agrees with the body, but no apples. Milk. Not too much meat. A little fish may be taken occasionally. But vegetables, and soups made of same, and not too much of the solid foods.
15. We are through with this Reading.

BACKGROUND

1. See 671-3 on 8/30/35 for tonsillitis.
2. 8/20/43 Mother, Mrs. [573], phoned questions, saying: "She hasn't been active all summer - can't walk sometimes for the pain and soreness through the back and stomach area. She is tired all the time, and sometimes nauseated. What causes and what should be done for these pains and achings, vomiting night before last, lack of energy and appetite? Is a tonic needed? What laxative or purgative, if any? Is the appendix involved?"

REPORTS

1. 9/06/43 Mother's report by phone: "[671] is better generally, and no fever, but pain in back still persists, also pain running down leg. She has to take enemas continually - bowels just will not move without enemas."
2. GD's note: Due to EC being so busy it was impossible to get a ck. rdg., so I advised her to continue the Packs, etc., and to go to Dr. C. W. Irvin for 2-3 osteopathic adjustments to set up drainages, etc.
