TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [1280].
2. As we find, there are many disturbing conditions in the physical forces of this body. Some as we find have been brought on by miscomprehending the disturbing conditions, or the applying of that which has brought more of the hindrances than should ordinarily. These make then rather for a complication of disturbances, and as we find while the applications that may be helpful in removing the causes of the disturbances may make for at times the appearance of irritation, if the influences that as we find may bring resuscitating and rejuvenating forces to the body are followed consistently, persistently, a great deal of help may be brought to this body even under the disturbing conditions that at present exist.
3. These then are conditions as we find them with this body, [1280] we are speaking of:
4. In the blood supply we find the disturbance by the inability of the circulation through that which is in the form of what may be called scar tissue to reach all portions of the system, in a nominal way or manner. This then accounts for portions of the body where numbness exists, and the inability of the proper activity and locomotion of extremities and of portions of the body itself drawing, as muscular contractions, and in part a wasting away of other portions and a distention or distortion in other portions of the system. This as we find arises, as has been indicated, from such a SEVERE application of high vibratory forces or natures created in the body as to cut off or sear off. While this seemed expedient, these as we find are existent conditions and there needs to be the application of those things in the body as to produce a releasing as it were of much of those conditions, yet keeping in abeyance the destructive forces that arose or necessitated in part those applications in the system itself.
5. In the nervous forces of the body, naturally with these we find those activities in the conditions in portions of the body as indicated; such that at times there is a distress to portions of the system through the very nature of the pressure upon the nervous system attempting to adjust itself to these varied disturbances.
6. In the head and in the throat, in the lungs, we find these show a better activity under the existent conditions that nominally would be or might be expected.
7. In the heart's activity as related to these we have this working under emergency conditions at times. Thus we have an irregular activity of same, yet organically very strong, very active.
8. In the digestive forces of the body we find there has been the allaying of those tendencies for the conditions where ulcerations and lacerations have caused a great deal of distress, which in times produced a tumorous nature; not of a cancerous nature, however, or of that which would become rather than by the very activity as has been produced - of not a malignant but an ADHERENT nature.
9. Then, to keep these in this form or in this way of loosening same without their becoming malignant would be the easier way than with the adherence or sticking of tissue, it may be said, through portions of the digestive forces - where it makes so easily for upsetting of the digestive forces and the indeterminate activity of assimilations through the bodily forces themselves.
10. These then as we find must be begun in a GENTLE way and manner but not only constructive but corrective in even the basic or beginning forces of the body; beginning the activities of elemental forces that may add to the vibratory forces in bringing better conditions for the body.
11. As we would find, then, in the activities where operative forces were made for the removal of those adherences in portions of the abdominal area, these have been successful in a manner; yet allowing for this very activity and the lack of proper coagulations through the system allows the tenderness and the very easily upsetting.
12. As we would find then in making the applications for this body:
13. First we would begin with the use of the low electrical vibratory forces of the body itself, carrying with same the alternation of Tincture of Iodine or Atomidine and Spirits of Camphor. Make the plate so it will not be irritating to the body to be attached at the 4th lumbar plexus, the copper plate or small plate; and make it not too small, and not with the leads on top of same so that in lying on same it irritates the body!
14. The first day the attachment of the smaller or copper plate would be attached first, to the 4th lumbar, while the larger or nickel plate - passing through the Iodine or the atomic iodine or Atomidine - would be attached last, over the umbilicus and lacteal duct area, or about an inch to the right of the navel itself, on the right side, see? for thirty minutes - every other evening.
15. The next day the smaller or copper plate would be attached first, to the 3rd and 4th dorsal center, while the larger or nickel plate would be attached last - passing through the Spirits of Camphor (full strength) - at the plexus at the head of the stomach itself, or the esophagus end center, you see, to the stomach, or just below the breastbone, a portion of the breastbone, that the vibrations pass almost through the body, or from those nerve centers to the secondary cardiac plexus to the cardiac portion of the digestive forces themselves - thirty minutes - every other evening.
16. Keep alternating in this manner, making the attachments as indicated, and we will find these will be helpful for the body.
17. Take the attachments from the solution when not in use. Keep the anodes clear from solutions when not in use. Let them be put in the solution for ten to fifteen minutes before they are to be used, see? Then take the leads of the wire that pass into the solution OUT of the solution when not in use, see?
18. We would also begin with a combination of oils to be rubbed into the body. Combine same in this manner:
19. To 4 ounces of Russian White Oil, or Usoline, or Nujol, add - in the order named:

    Cedar Wood Oil...................1 ounce,
Oil of Pine Needles..............1 ounce,
Oil of Sassafras Root..........1/2 ounce,
Compound Tincture of Benzoin...1/2 ounce.

    Shake these together, for they will tend to separate. Pour a small quantity into an open container or saucer. Use just what the body will absorb, but take at least twenty minutes to massage this into the body, gently, circular motion, all around or over the torso as well as the extremities of the body. Or: Begin at the base of the head, massage DOWN to the centers from which there is the activity to the upper extremities - or just between the shoulders, and then to the fingertips; then on down and especially across the diaphragm area or the 9th dorsal. Then down to the 4th lumbar, and these should extend around to the lower portion just between the groin, see? around the upper portion of the hip bone. Then down the sciatic nerves and especially to the feet and the lower limb. Do these each evening.
20. Keep the diets much as has been given for the body.
21. And in sixty days we would give further instructions.
22. Ready for questions.
23. (Q) The Wet Cell or the Radio-Active Appliance should be used carrying the solution?
    (A) The low electrical vibrations, the Wet Cell. The Radio-Active works with the BODY vibrations and is not electrical, as ordinarily termed.
24. (Q) What can be done to relieve rectal pains?
    (A) The massages as indicated across the lumbar and around the groin area, and the use of the Tim as an ointment will relieve the pain itself.
25. (Q) Is there a frozen tumor?
    (A) Not as a tumor but as an INACTIVE functioning. This is existent in the abdominal area.
26. (Q) Can this body be restored so as to function normally in respect to the bowel eliminations?
    (A) This will depend entirely upon the reactions to those things that have been set up for the bodily functionings themselves. So many portions of these adhere in tissue through the fold, through the abdominal and stomach area. This depends entirely upon the response of the body.
27. (Q) Any other advice or guidance for this body?
    (A) Do these in the present, as has been indicated, CONSISTENTLY and not as just something to be gotten through with - but that each of the applications as made is for SPECIFIC purposes and conditions to enliven the system for its activity and to assist in bringing about nearer normal forces for the body.
    The conditions are very serious, as indicated, and much of same has been burnt and much of it has been adhered by non-correction of the blood supply before there was the activity of the activity of the operative forces, and tying portions of the system together in not too well a manner.
    But apply these and as conditions develop, we may give the variations for the helpful influences for this body.
28. We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

1. GD's note: I can find no background information but the questions submitted for 1280-1 and 1280-2, as well as the readings, lead me to think she may have undergone abdominal surgery (colostomy), x-ray treatment, etc., for cancer.

REPORTS

1. 11/15/36 Mr. [333]'s letter: "Mrs. [1280] started her program as soon as the reading arrived. Mrs. [602] is giving her the massages and that with the Wet Cell has done much to relieve her suffering and she is feeling much better."
2. 12/10/36 Mr. [333]'s letter: "Just fixed up Mrs. [1280]'s battery with a new charge of solutions which arrived yesterday from H.H.R."
3. 1/07/37 "She has gained considerably from the help given her in readings physically, mentally and spiritually, and we hope that the check reading may indicate further helpful measures."
4. 1/11/37 See 1280-2.
