TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1255].
2. As we find, little may be done to aid save as giving relief. While the conditions in the advanced stages of disintegration in bone structure and in body-building have come from lack of glandular influences, of their secretions, and these become infected through body-forces and of body-vibration, the greater aid as we find would be in giving a quarter grain of the Animated Ash followed with the ultra-violet ray; this given five minutes after the Ash has been given dry and washed down with a little water.
3. Also we would use Edelman's ionizer, but use same with a lead that passes from the minus anode through the Gold solution, making the anodes or leads with the larger plate used over the umbilicus and the smaller plate at the 3rd and 4th dorsal plexus. Use this for thirty minutes about twelve hours difference between that and the use of the ultra-violet.
4. Necessary, to be sure, to use antiseptics about the body as well as narcotics for relief of body.
5. In the diet keep from those of bulbular vegetables and from rare meats. Beef juices, liver and liver extracts, the leafy vegetables, light wines - all of these we find would be the better, and offer the means as we find of staying though not healing, but palliatives and staying of the inroads in the present.
6. These as we find, if there are responses, may be altered or changed.
7. Do that for the present.
8. (Q) Where should the ultra-violet be applied and for how long?
   (A) Over the back of the lung area, for it is to carry into the blood more carbon and may be extended at times over the structural portions especially as the pelvis, larger portions of the lower limbs, but principally over the RIB area from the back.
   The body should sit up when taking the ionizer.
   The taking of the ultra-violet would be for a minute or a minute and a half.
9. We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

1. 8/24/36 Mr. [478], Chairman of Group #3 [473] phoned for an emergency reading: The left leg had been amputated, she has cancer of the bone which the doctors say must extend to all joints before she dies. All they can do is keep her doped up. She is suffering intense pain all the time. May anything be done to relieve her? Can the condition be checked?

REPORTS

1. GD's note: A member of Group #3, [473], informed me later that the reading was not followed; that the girl died a short time after the reading was given.
