TEXT

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; answering the questions, as I ask them:
EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1540]; this we have had before.
As we find, there are many changes in the general physical forces of the body since last we had same here and the greater portion is for bettered conditions in the physical forces. There are those tendencies for restlessness and anxiety. These naturally come from those tensions in the general nervous system.
If there would be the occasional relaxing of the body through hydrotherapy treatments; a very light sweat, not too much, but more of the Fume Bath, then the general massage to make for better eliminations and stimulation to the activity of the respiratory, perspiratory system, we would find we would make for better conditions for the body.
The use of the Radio-Active Appliance also in the body and for the body is most beneficial, for this keeps a better coordinant activity in the general reflexes of the nerve forces. And this is what the body has need of more than most anything else. If these will be kept along in order we should have better conditions for this continuously.
Ready for questions.
(Q) What causes the nervous cracking sensation in head?
(A) As has been indicated, these arise from the incoordination of a too great tension, and is why there has been indicated the massage rather than taking of properties for nerve relief, as sedative or any form in that nature.
(Q) Did I injure my back from my fall?
(A) Strained the muscular forces, but not an injury other than this strain. This is one of the things that, when the body eats, it tends for slow digestion or there is set up reactions which apparently prevents foods from digesting very quickly and thus causes sleeplessness, as well as a poor circulation in the extremities. But the light sweats with the addition of properties in the circulation which work directly through absorption to the emunctory and the outer edges of the glands it should bring quick relief for the body.
(Q) Should I continue to use the Wet Cell if the Radio-Active is used?
(A) We would continue to use the Wet Cell, for this is nerve force building. The Radio-Active is to keep an equal balance in the upper and lower circulation and to prevent too much increase in the avoirdupois for the body. Use Wet Cell Appliance as has been indicated, see?
(Q) Am I overweight?
(A) As has been indicated, use the Appliance for making for equal balance in the system and we would find this would be reducing to the body. Less starches in the diet and we should make nearer to normal reaction.
(Q) How could I bring about a more harmonious unity in my home in regard to my father and his wife, or would it be best at this time for me to leave their home?
(A) There must be first the quiet or harmony in one's own self if one would find harmony with the association with others. As we find, if we would have an alternative, not to remain away from home all the while, but portions of the time, it would be well.
(Q) Am I doing the work that is best fitted for me at this time, or should I seek work elsewhere; if so, where is best?
(A) This is very good. We would keep these for the present. For there'll be changes soon enough and this will necessitate changes in the activities which the body was identified with.
(Q) Is the vibrator treatment, such as that I took at the Beverly Health Studio [Mrs. Sarah Jane Beverly, Ph.T.], helpful to me?
(A) Yes - yes we find this is helpful. We would use it!
(Q) Please give me any mental and spiritual advice needed.
(A) Keep that correct attitude of being helpful for others, as ye have been in these directions in the main. Keep them so. Study, as it were, to show self approved unto the Creative Forces and not condemning self nor others.

REPORTS

7/24/57 Verbal report by sister-in-law, Mrs. [263] [wife of [1467]]: "[1540] had never been married, and during menopause she became enamored with a boy in his early twenties. [1540] was giving him anything he wanted - a car, spending money - setting him up in an apartment, etc. All the time this boy was going with someone else. [1540] didn't know this and the family didn't want to tell her about it for fear of what her mental reaction would be. We [[1467] and I] took [1540] in our home for about two months, trying to help her follow her readings. It was more than we could cope with. She talked of nothing else but this boy. Later [1540] went to live with a girl friend-nurse and while there she went to Dr. Redwood. She told him that she didn't want to live and was going to kill herself. With this the doctor recommended that [1540] be sent to Williamsburg, Va., to the mental institution there. [1540] and [1467]'s father's word was a command, and [1467] maneuvered [1540] into going up there with him. It was, and still is, my opinion that [1540] was not crazy at all. So far as I know [1540] was not having an affair with the boy. When conditions became so exaggerated, with [1540]'s money being drained, [1467] and I went to the boy and told him that if he did not withdraw from the situation we would 'put the law' on him. Apparently this frightened him off, and this brought about a complete break so far as [1540]'s association with him was concerned, and this also sent [1540] into a worse mental state. [See 1540-4 through 1540-6.]
"[1540] is now recovered and holding down a very good job."
2/05/62 Her stepmother died. Miss [1540] continued to live with her father and to take care of him in his old age. We were told that she was one of ten children and that she spent the early years taking care of the younger children before her father remarried.
