(Q) What is the condition of my physical body?
(A) In the main conditions physically, as we find them,
are very good. To be sure, there are some disturbances
or distresses that at times cause anxiety. Or, the body
responding to or rebelling against overactivity gives off
warnings or indications of distress.
These are conditions as we find them that are disturbing
factors in the present:
As for those conditions in scalp that at times cause some
anxiety, - at least every ten days massage with any good,
plain soap and water. Then shampoo with any good shampoo.
That called the Quinine Shampoo, as we find, is better for
this body - to prevent falling hair. But if there is the
thorough massage with any good soap, that will CLEANSE,
this is preferable to most of those solutions or preparations
so highly recommended. The shampoo as indicated is the
better here. Do this about every ten days, and we should
have little or no trouble with falling hair.
Those conditions in the gums and mouth need the occasional
use of those properties found in Ipsab. DO massage the gums
with an equal combination of Soda and Salt, at least every
other day. This will be found to be most helpful. Have
some local attention very soon to some of the teeth.
Those conditions through the lungs, throat, larynx, will
of themselves keep very good, if there are the general
precautions and not overtaxing, not overirritating nor
the allowing of the body to become overacid.
The digestive forces as related to the heart's activity are
very good.
The manner of correcting the strain in the pelvis is being
gradually aided by the correct proportions for feet and
ankles. The present shoe is VERY good. We would keep
this same type.
The condition produced in the opposite side of the pelvis
is from the general strain that has existed, - this in the
area about the caecum or appendicial area. When tired, we
would massage these areas very thoroughly with Peanut Oil.
[See [
1467]'s report on
1/03/47, 1467-11, Par. R4.]
Occasionally take internally, for this body, an equal
combination of Olive Oil AND Peanut Oil, - the same
proportions. Don't take too much at a time, but sufficient
to keep the strains in the ileum plexus and the pelvic area
from becoming irritated by tiring out, and this causing
adhesions.
The adjustments that are given for relaxing the body are
very well done. Just don't hurry through with same so much
at times, and relax those main centers - that is, the area
from the 1st cervical to the 5th and 6th cervical, through
the area of the 3rd and 4th dorsal, and especially relax
THOROUGHLY from the 12th dorsal to the lower portion of the
sacrals, - not by trying to strain so much, but relaxing the
area.
These we would keep, - not too alkaline in the diet, not too
acid, but a well balanced diet.
Of mornings have citrus fruits oft, with hot cakes, eggs,
bacon or the like, or alter to cereals - both dry and cooked;
but do not take these the same day that the citrus fruits are
taken.
Noons, - if practical, either soups, green vegetables or the
like.
Evenings, - plenty of cooked vegetables, more of the leafy
than the pod or tuberous - these are preferable. Fish, fowl
and lamb are preferable for meats, but occasionally a good,
thick steak - but cook it WELL. Very seldom have hog meat,
though liver, the pigs' feet, the ear, any of those portions
that are the digestive foods, that are palatable for the
body, are very good - if prepared properly.
Do these and we will keep the physical forces fit.
(Q) Are my glasses properly fitted?
(A) These are very good.
(Q) Do any of my teeth need extracting?
(A) As indicated, rather the local attention; not extracted,
unless there is the breaking through in such ways that these
are unalterable.
(Q) Please designate which of my teeth need dental
attention?
(A) This should be designated rather by the one making such
corrections, see?
(Q) Are the minerals properly balanced in my body or do I
need to take some?
(A) As indicated, with the outlines of the diets given we
should keep minerals very well balanced.
(Q) Would it be well at this time to take my sister [
1540]
from the State Institution at Williamsburg, Va., or does
she need to have more discipline at the institution?
(A) If it is practical for the environ that has been
indicated that would be well for the body, very well. If
this is impractical at this time, do not change then as yet.
(Q) I have been advised from this source that I would to
have an advancement in position, may I expect it from the
... Grocery Co., or from some other company? When will this
advancement come?
(A) As we find, the body may expect - with the present
activities of the body - an advancement soon. This may be
in a month, it may be in three months, it may be in six
months, - that of advancement with the present company
associations.
We WOULD - through the offices of those that have been
associated with the body - start those activities for
consideration of back or overtime pay. DO NOT let it come
as from self, but through associates or old associates who
have the same kind of claim with the organization. If this
is handled in that manner it may bring relief, or the
abilities to do some of the material things desired, and
would advance the body's association with the company.
If it brings crosses between the officials and the body,
it might bring disturbing conditions. But handled properly,
it will be alright. Be diplomatic, but be very positive.
(Q) Would it be advisable for ... Grocery Co. to be reminded
of it by [...], a former employee now employed in the Norfolk
Navy Yard, through a lawyer reporting it to the Wage and Hour
Board?
(A) This will be a very good outlet, provided there is NOT
mention of the body [
1467].
(Q) Is there any advice for me at this time in regard as
to making the Electric Appliances?
(A) This as we find will be given if there are any changes.
Use those instructions that have been indicated for the
building of these. And as changes are desired, the body
will be warned of same in the advice for the individuals
who need same. In the present these are very good.
(Q) Should the plates on the Radio-Active Appliance be both
nickel until otherwise specified in a specific reading?
(A) As indicated, both nickel unless specifically indicated
for special conditions otherwise.
(Q) Please give me some spiritual advice. I would
appreciate an affirmation.
(A) Do not at ANY time in thy associations with others do
that thy conscience condemns thee for; that is: Let not
self, nor self's purpose, be ahead of thy purpose with thy
Lord. For, as ye have heard, as ye do unto the least of
thy associates ye do unto thy Lord.
Let thy prayer oft be, though in thine own words:
HERE AM I, LORD, SEEKING TO BE A CHANNEL OF HELP AND
BLESSINGS TO OTHERS. USE THOU ME IN THE WAY AND MANNER
THOU SEEST FIT. I ACKNOWLEDGE MY WEAKNESSES, BUT I LOOK
FOR THE PROMISED STRENGTH IN THEE TO KEEP ME IN THE WAY I
SHOULD GO.
We are through for the present.

REPORTS
10/25/41 [
1467]'s letter to HLC:
"...I explained to your father just what I would like for
him to put in the letter that he was going to write to
Mr. Rice [Claude A. Rice, Interstate Commerce Commission,
Washington, D.C.] but I guess he forgot to tell you about
it. I told him to tell Mr. Rice that the way I understood
it was that in 1938 before the wage and hour law went into
effect I was getting $30.00 per week for 52 hours in a week.
The law read that they were to pay me $30.00 per week for
a 40 hour week and time and a half for all over 40 hours
a week. But they didn't do this. This is when they gave
us that slip of paper which I gave your father a copy of.
In other words they cut our salary so much an hour, then
figured it out 40 hours so much and 12 hours so much but we
still were not getting anymore than $30.00 per week. The
law read that they could not cut our salary but they did.
I asked in the last two readings and both of them told me
that I could collect it. But be sure that I didn't get my
name mixed up in it.
"I would appreciate it if you would attend to this as quick
as possible as I think they are trying some way to get out
of it..."
11/02/41 [
1467] obtained an Aura Chart reading. See
1467-12.
12/06/41 [
1467] obtained
1467-13.
1/03/47 [
1467]'s verbal report [regarding 1467-11, Par. 4-A]:
"I had a scar from an appendix operation, which had healed,
but sometimes when bending over, like when I was tying my
shoe, I would get a terrific cramp in my side. This would
form a knot in my side about the size of my fist, and the
only way I could get rid of it would be to massage it. After
the reading suggested Peanut Oil, I started massaging with
it about two or three times a week. In about a year the
condition was completely cured. The cramps have not bothered
me since, and this was about six years ago."
