TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, Mrs. [1512]; this we have had before.
3. As we find, the body reflexes and responses are going backward. The tendencies that have existed before show more crystallization, or more inflammation now towards crystallization, in the nerves and tendons in the extremities, - hands as well as knees and limbs. These are in the nature more of arthritic reactions, poisons and accumulations not eliminated, waste conditions in the general system turning more and more to a form that arises from too much of the chemical forces reacting from silicon.
4. In the present we would use the Epsom Salts Packs; either these or the Epsom Salts Baths. For the body in the present we would use first the Epsom Salts Packs, over the hands, elbows, knees and feet particularly; saturated solution of Epsom Salts; using heavy, large towels wrung out of a saturated solution of Epsom Salts as hot as the body can stand same. Wrap up the areas in them, you see; changing them about every half hour for two to three hours each day.
5. After such Packs are used, massage the areas thoroughly with Peanut Oil, - all that the body will absorb. Do this each time after a series of the Packs. If the Packs are used more than once a day, then use the Peanut Oil more than once also.
6. The regular massages we would have at least every other day, if it is practical. This would include stimulations along the spinal system, through the shoulders, across the hips and, of course, on the limbs also; not too heavy, but following the nerves - in the manner of the neuropathic treatments, see?
7. Take internally small doses of Olive Oil, all that the body will assimilate. Take about a teaspoonful four times each day, - morning, noon and evenings, - or in the morning, then in the mid-morning, in the mid-afternoon, and at retiring, see?
8. Also take internally the Chloride of Gold and Bromide of Soda. Prepare two solutions in this manner:
9. Add one grain Chloride of Gold to one ounce of Distilled Water.
10. Add two grains Bromide of Soda to one ounce of Distilled Water.
11. Keep these solutions separate until ready to be taken.
12. Then take one drop of the Soda Solution (put in first) and one drop of the Gold Solution, stirred together in half a glass of water; each evening for ten days. Then leave off five days, then take ten days more. And continue in this manner until conditions have improved. Drink the water immediately after stirring the Soda and Gold Solutions into it.
13. In the diet, - keep closer to the vegetables and vegetable juices. Have plenty of carrots, lettuce, celery and the like. These may be made into juices or they may be eaten in bulk raw, or they may be eaten cooked; but have plenty of these. Not that the diet would consist only of these.
14. But refrain from too much of meats, though a little fish and fowl may be taken at times.
15. Eggs - only eat the yolks of these.
16. Do these, and we may make for better conditions with the body.
17. Ready for questions.
18. (Q) Should I continue walking each day?
    (A) Continue as much exercise as practical. DO NOT give way too easily. Don't strain self when this is too hard, but be able to keep away from the sedatives as much as possible; these are only palliative and are habit-forming, but at times may be necessary to be taken.
19. (Q) Are the capsules A, B, DOL with C what I should take? If not, just what vitamins should I take?
    (A) These are alright. Do not take these too often. One of these a day should be sufficient, if the diet is kept in the proportion of those things indicated. All forms of vegetables, but as much of the leafy nature as practical. Do not take too much of turnips nor of other root vegetables, such as potatoes of any kind, rutabagas or any of those natures. The oyster plant as a root vegetable, however, is not so bad. The only root vegetable that should be taken plentifully is carrots, or beets.
20. We are finished with this Reading.
