TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [766].
2. Now, while we find the physical conditions of this body in a very disturbed way and manner, as we find, there may be those applications for same that - if they are kept in a consistent way - would bring help and relief to the body.
3. However, from the very nature of the complications, there will be necessitated changes in the administrations from time to time.
4. We would begin rather with those that will make for not only the alleviating of the distresses but which will prevent the accumulations in a plethora manner in the torso and trunk portions, of the fluids in the sacs of the lymph ducts in portions of the body - as will be indicated.
5. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [766] we are speaking of:
6. The BLOOD SUPPLY indicates that there have been and are the accumulations of refuse forces in portions of the system, in blood, in mucous, that have formed in sacs. These, as we find, are in those portions of the torso, or in the abdominal area, as from the lymph ducts in the lacteal duct areas. This hinders with a circulation as to cause the impoverishment in the blood supply, as to cause irregularity in the heart's action, as to hinder in the abilities for the proper activity in the extremities of the body; producing with these at times temperatures and periods when the conditions become much worse than at others.
7. There are spells when nothing agrees with the body, as for the digestive forces; making those periods when the eliminations and the activities of the organs of elimination throughout the hepatic circulation are disturbed.
8. These, then, are the conditions as we find them. All the organs, of course, become involved. All the activities in the assimilating and eliminating system are involved.
9. Then, in making the applications, we would first use the Animated Ash taken internally; one-eighth of a grain emptied dry on tongue each evening and washed down with water. Do not take the Ash IN the capsule.
10. Three to five minutes following the taking of the Ash each evening we would use the ultra-violet light over those portions of the system that make for the abilities of assimilation; that is, across the spine, in the lung and the cardiac plexus area of the stomach, across the lower portion of the spine - the 9th to the 12th dorsal area. Use this at least two and a half to three minutes, but at least thirty-eight to forty inches from the body. Do NOT use the Sun Ray. The quartz ray or light is the preferable. If the hand quartz light is used, then use it at least three minutes. If the larger or heavier vibrations are used, then use for two and a half to three minutes - or two to two and a half minutes, rather.
11. Each day, these treatments would be given, or each evening; the Ash taken internally, followed by the ultra-violet light, that will release the oxygen created by the electrical activity in the body with the Ash in the digestive system. This would also relieve those heavinesses in the breathing, and would relieve much of that disorder or distress in the right side and in those portions where the accumulations are indicated.
12. Also each day, keeping the body resting as it may, massage along the whole length of the cerebrospinal system - from the base of the brain to the end of the spine - with equal parts of Olive Oil and Tincture of Myrrh, heating the oil to add the myrrh. These properties will be as foods, and yet stimulate - from the activity of the myrrh - the various ganglia along the cerebrospinal system which supply, from the assimilated forces of the body through the circulation, the impulses and activities for the stimulating to a circulation.
13. The diets we would follow very much in the way and manner that has been indicated for the body; though, as we find, the use of the beef JUICE would be much more STRENGTHENING to the body and make for that which would be easily assimilated by the system.
14. After twenty-six days we would give further instructions, should there come a response to these applications.
15. Ready for questions.
16. We are through for the present.

    Copy to son, [...], ... Place, ..., Ohio - Special Delivery
    Copy to Ass'n file
    (12/19/34 GD's note: See copy of letter [which was enclosed] explaining Ash, and where obtained.
    The ultra-violet light may be rented or purchased from an electrical supply house; but be sure it is the quartz light.
    See directions [which were enclosed] for making pure Beef Juice.
    If the body responds to these treatments, let us know in twenty-six days, so we may make an appointment for a check-reading to give further suggestions. GD.)

REPORTS

1. GD's note: 11/29/35 Mrs. [766]'s son's wife requested a Physical Reading during pregnancy, which for some reason was never given. In 10/36 Mrs. [766]'s son visited EC while we were in N.Y. at the Kahn's and requested a Life Reading for his baby son - this also was never given. No written record of Mrs. [766]'s case is in our files, but I somehow have the impression that she later died of cancer - perhaps not long after the reading was given.
