TEXT

1. GC: You will have before you the body and enquiring mind of [903], present in this room, who seeks a physical, mental and spiritual reading, with special attention to conditions of her right breast; giving the causes of the congestion or pain which has been bothering her continually, and what to do to cure this condition. You will answer the questions she submits, as I ask them. When you have finished with this Reading, you will answer the questions regarding another body, whose name and address I will then give you.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [903], present in this room; this we have had before.
3. In the physical forces of the body there are those tendencies towards disturbance that the body should take warning concerning.
4. As there approaches those periods of change in the general glandular system, ALL of the glands - and especially those pertaining to the mammary glands - give disturbance to the body.
5. In the present this is only as a clot or cyst in the gland itself; not of any malignant nature, though easily might become so - if it is allowed to deteriorate as it exists, or if there were a bruise.
6. But to set up the general eliminations, as would be activative forces with the glandular system, should eliminate and dissipate the disturbances there.
7. This would be done in the form of the hormones that are given either as injections or by mouth, as of the thyroid secretions. Either of these, necessarily, are given under the direction of a physician who watches or follows the activity of same.
8. As to other conditions through the body, of a general nature (while this just indicated is of the specific nature), - we find that the general shock to the system from outside influences needs to be relaxed, osteopathically; that there be no disturbance from the centers along the system where arm and elbow (that shows injury) make direct connection with the nerves of the cerebrospinal system, in the area of the 4th, 5th and 6th dorsal, and in the 3rd cervical. To be sure, the 1st and 2nd cervical will need to be coordinated with same, when these treatments are made. McLean would do very well.
9. The condition in the elbow, the bruise - which does not show externally - is indicated in the small end of the bone that covers the elbow itself. This is what keeps the stiffness, and is cushioned at present. The hot and cold applications will aid. Take these daily for two or three days, for some two or three times at a period; first hot, then COLD - ice water, and hot water. These will reduce the condition there.
10. As for the general condition in the pelvis and those variations in the lumbar axis, - these have NOT been benefited by this shock to the nervous system. But, as indicated, they should not be attempted to be corrected in the present, owing to the general conditions as related to the activity of the glandular system through the organs of the pelvis. But, WHEN there are those reductions through either the injections or the hormones taken by mouth, when and as these are activative in the body, then these corrections SHOULD be made - osteopathically, so that the activity of the whole glandular system may be corrected.
11. Ready for questions.
12. (Q) Will the physician be willing to give injections to reduce cyst instead of operation?
    (A) He should be, if he knows his business!
13. (Q) Who would be the best doctor for this particular condition?
    (A) Any good internal medicine man.
14. (Q) How long has this cyst been developing?
    (A) Nearly eleven years!
15. (Q) How deep is the condition now?
    (A) How deep is a well? How deep is the mammary gland? This is internal, but - as indicated - it is merely a clot at present, or like a cyst that would form from any portion becoming dead or centered in itself. But as indicated, it has been encased. This MAY be dissipated.
16. (Q) How long should we wait to get reactions?
    (A) The sooner you begin the treatment, of course, the better it will be. The examinations there as indicated should be under the direction of a physician who watches the conditions.
17. (Q) What is causing ache in finger joints?
    (A) As indicated, this is a tendency towards the formation of crustations. This is an activity in the system, but setting up eliminations, setting up drainages - as should be exercised by those injections of the hormone of male sperm in the body - will make for those activities to eliminate these tendencies, and set the glandular forces to activity.
18. (Q) What form of physical exercise will this body be permitted now?
    (A) As we find, do not be too overactive. Walking, activi- ties having to do with general activity - be very careful in driving an automobile - be very careful if you would play any games, or anything using the arms too much.
19. (Q) How about swimming?
    (A) Swimming is a variation, for this is a buoyancy that comes from all directions of the body. This is very well, if not overdone.
20. (Q) Under these conditions, to what work should I devote myself this coming year?
    (A) The working with children!
21. (Q) What is the condition of the pelvis?
    (A) As indicated, this is associated with the activity of the glandular system, and as drainages are set up then a correction there should be made to keep the pelvis in a balance.
22. (Q) Is there any danger of a cancerous condition coming from this breast formation?
    (A) Read just what has been given.
23. (Q) Is there any other advice?
    (A) We would keep in that way as indicated here, being constructive in the thinking and in the purposefulness of the body in its activity. And, as these are kept, as is understood by the body, these have much to do with the effects as may be produced in the physical being.
24. We are through with this Reading.

BACKGROUND

1. GD's note: Menopause (beginning), Cyst - on mammary gland right breast, injury to left elbow, bicycle accident few days ago [prior to 903-34].
2. See also previous readings.

REPORTS

1. 7/07/43 She referred Mrs. [3243] for a Physical Rdg.
2. 7/09/43 "I know you are interested in what Dr. Wayne Babcock [Wayne W. Babcock, M.D.] had to say, so will drop you this note. Had another osteopathic tr. with Dr. M. L. Richardson before leaving - that coupled with 3 days of absolute rest in Wash. helped clear the system of some of its more alarming aspects. Breathing was easier and swelling diminished... [He read my reading first.] After examination Dr. Babcock said most of the hardening and pain was due to the injury of tissue in the breast and shock - then he gave me a hormone injection - only asking that I get in touch with him in a week and give my reaction."
3. 7/10/43 Husband submitted questions saying Dr. Babcock thought the cyst would dissolve but x-ray showed "fracture of the arm - a small piece of bone entirely separate fr. main bone of arm... Is Dr. Daisy Fletcher a good osteopath for her?"
4. 7/18/43 See 903-35.
