First, we would apply the Castor Oil Packs. Before these
are begun, however, - about three hours before - take a good
dose of Yellow Saffron Tea, about two and one-half ounces.
Put about two pinches of the Yellow Saffron in a crock and
pour the boiling water over same, allowing it to stand for
about ten minutes. Strain and drink. This may be cooled,
of course, to make it more palatable.
Then in about three hours after taking the Saffron Tea,
apply the Castor Oil Pack for about an hour. The next day
apply again, and then the next.
Then take at least half a teacup of Olive Oil.
When there is pain, apply a Soda Pack over the abdomen.
After the Castor Oil Packs are begun, this will assist in
movement through the alimentary canal between the periods,
see? But whether there is good elimination or not, do take
the Olive Oil to purify or to drain the colon, as well as
the gall duct. For, there is the tendency in the duodenum
of a spasm and a plethora in the gall duct; not gall stones
- but as a sediment.
The Soda would be applied as a pack, you see; cool, not iced,
but out of tap water, - about a teaspoonful of soda between
two pieces of gauze, - or preferably old sheeting rather
than gauze, see? sufficient of this to cover the whole
of the abdominal area. This should be kept changed.
When there is the full reaction, then take a good eliminant,
or better to have a colonic irrigation; using a high enema
to cleanse the colon.
Through this period, or the next three days, take only or
almost pre-digested foods, - soups or malted milk or milk,
or things of that kind, - not any heavy food.
When beginning to eat, after the full eliminations, begin
taking after each meal three to five drops of Elixir of
Lactated Pepsin stirred in half a glass of water. Every
other day, for at least two to three days, take - with one
of these doses - half a teaspoonful of Milk of Bismuth, with
ten drops of Lactated Pepsin in the glass full of water, see?
Do these and we may bring better conditions. There is the
tendency towards an intermittent fever with this. Massage
along the spine gently, of course, will relieve the tension,
and tend to keep down temperature. Massage with anything
that is easy to massage with. If it is practical to obtain
it, use Peanut Oil combined with an equal quantity of Olive
Oil. Or, if Peanut Oil is not convenient, use an equal
combination of Olive Oil and tincture of Myrrh; heating the
oil to add the myrrh.
Do that, - we will bring the better forces for this body.
We are through for the present.

GD's note: In the summer of 1964 Mrs. [
852] visited me and
looked better than I've ever seen her. She said she has been
very healthy all these years and seems to get better as time
goes on. She had gained considerably in weight which was
also becoming to her, since she had in her early days been
so very thin.
