TEXT

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body. You will answer the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1207].
3. Now as we find, while there are acute conditions that cause the greater trouble in the present, the general conditions should be taken into consideration, - if there would be the full correction without the after effects which would later become disturbing.
4. These, then, are conditions as we find them with this body, [1207] we are speaking of, present in this room:
5. In the extremity, where there has been an injury to the covering of the bone, there are infectious forces.
6. The attempt of the system to throw protective forces about same has caused, by the lack of those properties necessary in the lymph blood flow, too great a quantity of fluid about and under the knee cap.
7. This failure of the system to replenish or rebuild, then, is from the lack of the leucocyte in the lymph flow that heals the bone tissue itself.
8. Hence we find that there is a form of anemia through the system that must be taken into consideration, in making the proper administrations for the body.
9. We find that these would be the proper applications for the beneficial conditions to the body, then; removing causes and also affecting in the system the proper reactions to overcome the existent conditions:
10. At least two to three times each week, - three times in the beginning, - for twenty to thirty minutes we would use the Infra-Red light over the knee area.
11. Following each Infra-Red treatment we would massage the knee gently with iodized salt saturated with pure apple vinegar Do not rub too hard, nor yet merely pat on. This is to be especially massaged around the knee cap, under the knee, and to the lower portion even of the muscular force on that limb, or the calf of the leg.
12. These should be taken internally as corrective forces:
13. Each day take one ADIRON tablet with the evening meal.
14. Twice each day take a tablespoonful of Beef Juice; spending at least ten to twenty minutes in sipping that quantity.
15. Soon after, or with the beef juice, take an ounce to two ounces of red wine, with brown bread or whole wheat crackers. Also take time to sip this, - not gulping it nor taking it all at once.
16. Then have the regular foods; those that carry quantities, or an excess, of Vitamin B-1, especially; such as would be found in all foods that are yellow in nature or color. Have plenty of orange juices, then, throughout the day. Eat plenty of yellow squash, yellow peaches and the like. There should be excesses of these in the diet, though to be sure, other foods would be taken normally.
17. Keep the eliminations well in excess to that as would be nominal. For, with these indicated applications we should absorb the fluid, and it must be eliminated or else settle in other portions of the body.
18. Unless GREAT inflammation arises, DO NOT draw off fluid; else there will be stiffness in this knee, or in other portions of the body later.
19. Do these.
20. Of course, massage the body at least once each day, especially this limb and across the sacral and the lower portion of the cerebrospinal system, with an equal combination of olive oil and peanut oil, - just what the body will absorb.
21. Ready for questions.
22. (Q) Who would you recommend to give the Infra-Red treatments?
    (A) Anyone that has an Infra-Red machine!
23. (Q) Is it harmful to use the limb at present?
    (A) It is better to be used in moderation, else there tends to be the PROTECTION of same, and would cause some distress, later some stiffness.
24. (Q) Would it be alright to take off the bandage?
    (A) Take off the bandage, but use an elastic support when using same.
25. (Q) How long should I keep up these treatments?
    (A) Until there is FULL recuperation, and the massages for some weeks afterward.
    The tonics and the building forces are better to be kept for ten days to two weeks, then left off a few days, and then taken again in the same manner; while the rubs about the knee with the salt and vinegar, and the Infra-Red, should be kept regularly, to give best results.
    Do these, and we will find we will not only remove the disturbing forces but build better resistances in the body.
26. (Q) Would it be well for me to continue teaching dancing this fall, or would you advise a change?
    (A) We would continue. For, this is a part of the expression for this entity, which would bring helpful forces to others, and is an expression of the entity's self.
    Do these, and we will bring the conditions of normalcy for this body, [1207].
27. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. 6/22/36 She obtained a Life Reading - 1207-1.
2. See her comments at end of the reading [1207-2, Par. R1] which give some background on her physical problems.

REPORTS

1. Background comments of Miss [1207] after the rdg.: "About 2 wks. ago fell on knee; it wouldn't heal. Drs. say fluid on the kneecap; wanted to tap it but Mother wouldn't consent - so glad she didn't since rdg. warns against it. When born drs. said I was anemic. For yrs. have had a cracking in knee at times when doing dancing exercises - it just 'gave way' under me 2 wks ago, which bears out what the rdg. says about lack of elements, etc."
2. Her knee got alright - later she had her own dancing school.
