TEXT

1. HLC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions that may be asked:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [849].
3. As we find, conditions are progressing FAIRLY satisfactorily. Owing to the natural reactions from nature, these continue to prevent the better reactions in the muscular forces.
4. There should be kept more of a DRY atmosphere AROUND or ABOUT the body.
5. After at least six more of the venom injections, we would begin with the low electrical forces for the body; but we would change somewhat the NATURE of the application to the body.
6. Now, we would attach the anode carrying the Gold, you see, to the 4th lumbar; while the copper plate we would attach to the right ankle one time and to the left ankle the next - continuing to alternate these, see?
7. The Atomidine attachments would be, - the anode carrying the solution to the 2nd dorsal center, and the copper plate to the umbilical plexus.
8. The anode carrying the Camphor we would attach to the lower portions of the knees, UNDER the knee, you see; one time under the right knee, the next time under the left knee - alternating same in this manner, see? while the copper plate would be attached to the 4th lumbar plexus or axis - just above the center where they join the sacral.
9. Do these.
10. These should be followed, after each one, with a gentle rub over the whole of the body, as much as is practical, see?
11. (Q) Is the Camphor to be given just half an hour?
    (A) The Camphor is to be given for an hour here, for the attachment is to carry the Camphor under the knee, see?
12. (Q) The Camphor is to be attached one hour each treatment?
    (A) One hour, the same as the rest.
13. (Q) And the Appliance treatments are to be begun after six more venom injections?
    (A) That's just what is given! Do it like that!
14. (Q) What is causing the severe pains in shoulders?
    (A) The dampness and the lack of the proper distribution of the energies through the system.
15. (Q) What is causing the cracking in joints?
    (A) The lack of the fluids in those areas. Lack of lymph.
16. (Q) Should the venom be given more frequently?
    (A) Give as being given, every other day.
17. (Q) How much longer should it be continued?
    (A) As indicated, for at least six more at this period. Then it may be given later, after a series of the other applications.
18. (Q) Is the diet alright for the body? Any changes?
    (A) There should be more of the glucose, if there is the desire to furnish those properties necessary! If not, then keep like you have been! We have given that necessary!
19. We are through for the present.

REPORTS

1. 8/01/39 EC's ltr. to Mrs. [464]: "[849] is on the improve but so slow - very, very slow but each week one can see that he can use himself a bit better and is not in so much pain. He is taking cobra venom - that seems enough to kill anyone but it eases him and we hope to be able to help out."
2. 8/03/39 See 849-41.
