TEXT

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time, giving the cause of the existing conditions, also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body. You will answer any questions relative to this body that I will ask you.
2. EC: Now we find there are abnormal conditions with this body, and these may be corrected. These conditions we find arise from specific conditions existing in the system.
3. Now these are conditions as we find them in this body, [781], we are speaking of.
4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find (the blood) carries that property that should be eliminated through correct channels, but is carried and is forced in the capillary circulation, until the eliminations there partake of the character of that producing these conditions. Then we have very poor assimilation, and a deflected elimination, as far as blood supply is concerned. The quantity of red blood is deficient. Destructive and rebuilding cellular forces, or red blood cells, are involved in condition. The leucocyte and red blood that forms basis for lymphatic and white blood cell does not give the sufficient of the plasmatic properties to produce coagulation. Hence abrasions, and the cuticle becomes dry, breaking, scaling, and condition healing from within, through the effect of the dermis of skin proper.
5. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, this we find very good, yet taxed often by the conditions existing in the system, especially the centers in the lumbar and solar plexus region.
6. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF ORGANS THEMSELVES, the body very good in many respects. There is the lack of those rebuilding cellular units to furnish all structural portions of body. Hence the abnormal development in manner in the bone structural forces in body. This produced by the parasite [pinworms?] in system (intestinal tract) that destroys this gluteus [glutenous?] force necessary to create this rebuilding cellular force. Also deflecting the circulation, and the body overtaxed through the digestive system. The disturbances in the circulation, the tendency towards temperature at times, the deflected circulation, the nausea and headaches, or dullness in headaches, the production of this parasite in intestinal system. Some we find in stomach, yet the intestines show more of these that are destructive to the system.
7. To eliminate, then, these conditions, and to bring the body to the normal condition, would be:
8. First, we would have the body skip one meal, taking nothing save water.
9. For the next meal, eat raw cabbage, or celery and cabbage. Not an extra large quantity. Only put salt on this.
10. After this has been eaten four hours, begin with small doses of this:
11. To half a glass of water, add:

    Phosphate of Soda (plain)........1/2 teaspoonful,
Syrup of Sarsaparilla..............5 drops,
Oil of Turp........................1 drop,
Eucalyptol.........................1 drop.

12. Take these every hour, until at least five doses have been taken.
13. This will purge body and create temperature and nausea to the system, but we must eliminate these conditions, would we assist the body.
14. May be necessary that enemas be given to relief inflammation in the colon. These may or may not, depending upon the diet that has been given before we begin with these properties for the system.
15. After the system has been cleansed, we would then begin with the diet that will rebuild the system to the normal development, keeping a well balanced diet for this body.
16. Gruels, fruits, for the breakfast meal.
17. For lunch, that rather light. Sweets of the fruit juices, or of pies, with milk.
18. Evenings, of meats. Not too heavy, and a well balanced vegetable diet, of those that grow above and below the ground.
19. Do this, keeping plenty of water at all times in system.
20. The condition as appears on the body [ringworm?], would be well to use Yellow Oxide Ointment and dust with Stearate of Zinc, or with the Boracic Acid dust.
21. The conditions in bone structure are the effect of these conditions in body.
22. Do that. We will bring the normal forces to this body, [781].
23. (Q) Do the conditions of the teeth have any effect on the general health?
    (A) We have given. These are the effect, rather than producing an effect.
24. (Q) Is the half a glass of water, with Soda and other ingredients, one dose?
    (A) One dose.

BACKGROUND

1. 9/14/24 Father [779]'s letter: "[781] is the only one in the family who has not had a rdg. from you. He has not yet shed any of his teeth - they haven't given him any trouble and his health is good as can be as far as we know. He has started to school and likes it fine."
2. 12/07/24 "[781] has been out of school about 10 days on account of a ringworm on his face, so they asked him to get it well and come back. The doctor has been treating it - it seems to be better, but it may come out again... Give cause & treatment for breaking out on face and mouth."

REPORTS

1. 12/31/24 Letter from [779] to EC: "...Now I want to say something about [781]'s reading of the 22nd. I did not receive this till late Saturday evening. Again kindly accept our many thanks and appreciations. I am glad to say that it explained his feelings correctly just as he [781] has told us many times he felt. So I got busy and got up all of the medicine. I don't believe we would have ever gotten him to take the medicine if we didn't tell him it was from you. He something like myself believes in this 'Stuff' of yours. We have never been able to get him to take not even Castor Oil. He dislikes medicine so, hit by hard work he did get this and just as stated in reading would be nausea and create temperature, but the medicine did not act upon the Liver as we expected or thought it would. Only got action by giving enemas as per reading, and for that reason I believe we was on the right track and did not leave anything undone. In your opinion do you think this was correct? and the system has been cleansed as it should? He too is doing his best to eat just as your given. Seems to take a delight in seeing about the eats. His appetite is better than it has been in some time. We have to hold him back to keep from over eating. Now there is just one thing I don't know if I fully understand. That is (for lunch) Sweets of the fruit juices or of pies. I don't know if I have ever heard of this expression. I would be glad to have an expression from you as to just what this is and how it is prepared. Now about the Ring Worm like on his face & mouth. We only put the ointment on once before it had entirely gone, but this was after the other medicine had been given, as from the reading I now feel sure the condition of his teeth is from the conditions of the body. Old Boy you will pardon me for going into all the details, as I know you are very busy, but you don't know how GOOD it makes me feel to do these things and see just how Well and Pretty it works..."
2. 1/07/25 Letter from EC to [779]: "...As to [781]'s reading, I am sure glad to know that this has seemingly helped him a great deal, and it is surprising to know that he is willing to take this, because he thought that I had given it. He must be like our boy. The minute he begins to feel bad, he wants a reading and don't want any doctor. Yes, I am sure, you did the right thing in giving the enemas and cleansing the system. I believe that was the way it was in the reading, and I'm certainly in hopes that he is feeling a great deal better now. I think what is meant by 'sweets of the fruit juices' is the juice of oranges or of any citrous fruit, or fruit pies, berries, apples, peaches, or anything of that nature. Am certainly glad to know that the trouble on his face disappeared, and you well know, [779], I am only too glad to always try and be of help, and especially to you or yours, but to see it work out as you say in your boy, and as it has in ours very recently, as Hugh Lynn says, we cease to wonder even, just expect it..."
3. 1/19/25 Letter from [779] to EC: "...We thank you for your expression on the diet for [781]. We too thought that ie meant as you did. [781] seems to be doing fine, back at school again and likes it much. He too is looking so much better now and then the conditions on his face shows up a little, but still use the medicine for it..."
4. 2/08/25 Letter from [779] to EC: "...Yes, [781] seems to be OK now. Feeling good - and full of fun all the time..."
5. 6/28/25 Letter from [779] to EC: "...The Madam [780] says she feels good. The kids all seem to be OK. Very often [781] says something about your having him eat raw cabbage and making him sick."
