TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical conditions of this body at the present time; review the condition of the body as pertaining to the accident she had in Virginia Beach; with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: There are quite varied and different functionings in the body since we had same here.
3. The applications in many respects have had and are having beneficial results.
4. The injury in the arm or elbow, while reduced almost to normalcy, there are still tendencies for some little stiffness - but all of this, as well as the indications in the joints of the fingers or hands, will be materially aided by the use of the injections and the pills that are being taken for the elimination or dissolving, or the setting up in the circulation the elimination of the poisons and accumulations, and the tendencies for segregations in the body of the cellular forces. For, these are acting with the glandular forces of the body to assist each of the gland forces of the body to enable them to reproduce their normal selves in their normal channels.
5. Thus, for the elbow, the massage with Pure Apple Vinegar and salt - the salt saturated with the vinegar. This will enable the fluids accumulated about the end of the bone here that is broken, or bent in, to be dissolved so that it can come back to its normal position. For it is more the cartilaginous force than a set or calcified condition in the body.
6. As for the general condition of the nervous forces of the body, from the shock and the effect of the glands in the breast, - we find that this is responding. As to whether the disturbance will be entirely eliminated or not - we find it is not sufficiently advanced as yet to indicate, and much may depend upon the activities and the diets of the body.
7. Keep those things in the diet such that there are the eliminations each day of the general drosses from the body. Remember, the properties taken are to produce a more fluid condition in structural portions and in glandular forces. Hence the drosses from these are to be eliminated. It is just as mud in the container. Water may be poured into same and gradually dissolve the mud, but if it is flushed occasionally the container will clear sooner. So it is with the body. When there are properties taken that produce the drosses for elimination, the system needs to be flushed occasionally.
8. Vary as to the type of eliminant for flushing the system. One time use a mineral, the next time a vegetable eliminant, and so on. This will tend to keep a better balance in the general condition of the body.
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) How often should the hormones be taken?
    (A) As is indicated by the one giving them! We don't give the hormones - they are to be given by the physician, as we have indicated!
11. (Q) Does she need additional osteopathy now? If so, how many treatments and how should they be given?
    (A) This depends upon whether the body is able to take sufficient exercise and to produce the eliminations that will carry off the drosses, or whether it will depend upon the mechanical manipulations to aid in this. Two or three more of the adjustments would not be amiss, rather be beneficial - if given properly. They should be RELAXING, not stimulating treatments.
12. (Q) Should the corrections in pelvis be made now?
    (A) When the body has sufficiently recovered from the shock, it would be well to have these made. But we wouldn't do it while the body is still under the strain of some of the conditions resulting from the shock.
13. (Q) Is the condition in joints of fingers arthritis, and what can be done to prevent it spreading?
    (A) It is a tendency towards same. But, as indicated, the type of eliminant being administered for the other condition is the same type that will reduce this - if advantage is taken of it by setting up better eliminations.
14. (Q) Considering conditions around the body, should she remain in ... for the winter and continue her various activities or would it be better for her to live in NYC?
    (A) Continue in the surroundings the helpfulness to others, which is much better than shutting self in or becoming dependent.
15. (Q) Would it be well to take a trip to Mexico City in August?
    (A) If it chooses to go to Mexico City! But be rather a hard trip for the body, and there are things to be considered also other than self.
16. (Q) Where would be the best place to go to aid the condition of her hay fever, and what will relieve her now?
    (A) A higher altitude would be better, and where it is somewhat drier. These are the conditions that are conducive to hay fever.
    If remaining in the lower altitude, the use of an inhalant such as we have indicated for hay fever would be very well. [see directions [which were enclosed] [261-8] for preparing inhalant.]
17. (Q) What particular weed or flower is causing it?
    (A) Ragweed!
18. (Q) Since hay fever is usually caused by an allergy, can the Forces describe the particular allergy which is causing this condition to this body, so that the body can stay away from it?
    (A) As just indicated, smell one of the weeds, try it on self and see! But if you chew it as it is growing, you may relieve yourself from it! It's a good eliminant, too! It is one of the best eliminants with a vegetable base. But it must be chosen very young, and the leaves alone chewed - but don't spit it out because it is bitter! It's not poisonous, and it is a good eliminant, and it will relieve the allergy - or eliminate that causing the hay fever FOR THIS PARTICULAR BODY! For it is not caused by the same in all.
19. We are through for the present.

    (Ambrosia weed - another name for ragweed. It is the basic ingredient of the eliminant on the market called Simmons Liver Regulator.)

BACKGROUND

2. 7/16/43 Husband's letter: "Dr. Babcock informed me yesterday that [903] should continue the hormones by mouth for 2 wks. and that he felt as you do that it [the breast cyst] could be dissolved. She must be careful of the fracture on her arm which will grow back alright. She took a massage today and will continue that also."
