TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [988].
2. As we find, in some respects conditions are very satisfactory; while there are periods and times when there is a great deal of distress produced by the tendency for the formations of gases in the intestinal system, lacking so much in the abilities of movement. And, owing to the pressures produced by the conditions that have been described, there is the forming - as it were - of multiple conditions, in the form of the tumorous tendencies in the lymph formations.
3. These come and go. There are periods when, with the relaxation of the body by enemas and by the manipulations that are given, these do not cause so much disturbance or so much pressure.
4. Hence we will find that there is the necessity still of keeping the abdominal area applications, and the vibrations that may be had through the low electrical forces that will aid in creating greater lymph distribution through the system. These we find as being the more helpful.
5. However, there is the necessity of the manipulations being given over the abdominal area, gently, as well as over the cerebrospinal and the limbs and the feet. All of these are necessary to assist in equalizing the deeper and the superficial circulation, or in keeping same "going," as it were.
6. Use the enemas, then, when necessary.
7. There would be the occasional use - once to twice a week - of the Elliot Appliance, and we would use rather the original. This aids in creating a greater heat in the abdominal area that is RELAXING to those tendencies of the accumulations.
8. The tumorous forces DO NOT increase; only increase in their FORMATIONS. That is, a multiple - or they extend much as would be a cauliflower bulb, but they dry also - or they RECEDE; we do not desire that they dry but that gradually through this assimilation these fluids will be taken INTO THE SYSTEM or eliminated through the eliminating channels of the system, much as is indicated in the manner in which the poisons and swellings have been over or in the limbs themselves - these are gradually being absorbed.
9. We would find that occasionally, when there is the tendency for the dilation of the abdomen, to use the Mullein Stupes over the ABDOMINAL areas would not be amiss - but be helpful in the absorptions of same, and aid in the relief of same.
10. In the diets, DO NOT mix cereals or starches with citrus fruit juices, but give these rather at different PERIODS when assimilation of one or the other has taken place. SMALL quantities of most anything is helpful, so that it is body, blood and nerve building; but do not create an excess of any character.
11. Do these, consistently, persistently, for the greater ease and help for the body.
12. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) Should Mullein Stupes be continued on limbs?
    (A) Should be continued until there is sufficient absorption for these to be discontinued; or until there is the use of the limb.
    In making the manipulations, GENTLY massage over the limbs also - and especially in feet.
14. (Q) Why is there trouble injecting the colon tube at first?
    (A) As indicated.
15. (Q) Generally speaking, has condition of tumor improved?
    (A) Improved.
16. (Q) What should be done for the pain in left leg and foot?
    (A) The applying of the heat will be the more beneficial, until it becomes - of course - too severe; but keep as far away from sedatives as possible, or give as seldom as possible.
17. (Q) Is Codeine the best thing to give to relieve pain?
    (A) Codeine, or a hypnotic. A hypnotic is preferable, if it agrees with the body.
18. (Q) Considering all conditions, when would it be advisable for him to be taken home to ..., Mich.?
    (A) This will depend, to be sure, upon the bodily responses and upon climatic or weather conditions also.
    Should be by the middle or latter part of January.
    This depends, to be sure, upon circumstances, and the conditions.
19. (Q) Any further advice that would be helpful at this time?
    (A) Keep the atmosphere, or keep the conditions as surround the body as pleasant and as hopeful and as creative in their nature as possible.
    Well to build for possibilities, expectancies. For without expectation, little arrives.
20. We are through for the present.

REPORTS

1. 12/23/35 Dr. John R. Thompson's letter:
   [988] seems to be doing very nicely. The swelling of the leg is responding wonderfully to the mullein packs, he can be rolled around easily now and it used to be that the slightest move caused him a great amount of pain. As for the pain, it persists, but doesn't seem to me to have the severity that it used to - at least the effects aren't so great. The rectal irritation seems to have completely cleared up with the giving it a semi-rest - so now we can build up the number of applications therein a bit more. All in all he seems to be gaining steadily from week to week, and I guess that's all we can ask for in a case of this type.
   I see that I have a patient due any minute now, so will have to cut this short. I could go on indefinitely, or so it seems to me. Anyway, inasmuch as you-all sort of rushed out of town let me take this opportunity of saying - well, that I enjoyed meeting you, your family, Miss Davis, as well as having the privilege of seeing your work. May many more thousands have the work benefit them as have others been. Wishing you a very Merry Xmas and a wonderful year in 1936, I am, most sincerely [signed] Dr. J. R. Thompson
