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. You will answer the questions he has submitted, as I ask them:
EC: Yes.
Now as we find, the disturbing conditions as prevent the better normal physical functioning are of a latent nature; yet the affectations have been and are such that the disturbance becomes a constant reminder as it were to the functioning of the glandular and the replenishing system.
Thus the blood supply is kept lacking in the body-building and in that which produces normal coagulation; so that through same there becomes a constant drain upon the vitality of the body.
These then are the conditions as we find them with this body, [1792] we are speaking of:
The blood supply indicates the nature and the cause, and through the glandular forces and through the functioning of same we see the effects.
There is, as indicated, a minus in the plasm in the blood stream of the coagulating influences, or the hormones in the hemoglobin are lacking.
This as we find arises from a condition produced in youth, when the glands of the thyroid were involved and the condition was in such a nature for the body to "go down" as it were; or so as to affect the sources of supply to the glandular forces about the vegetative system, or throat and the outer portion of the thyroid; affecting the liver and the tests and the glands of the prostate.
All of these are involved, then, in the lack of body-building forces.
And through these congested areas in the liver in the present, there tends to be in the bloody supply the lack of the abilities for resistance building forces to the fullest extent in the system.
In the nerve system these conditions work rather upon the sympathetic system, so that the influence of suggestive forces becomes nil; and the body finds the responses to suggestion becoming rather as passing, or affecting the body in a latent manner or form.
We find a minor subluxation in the areas of the nerve system from which the liver obtains its greater impulse through nerve coordination of sympathetic and cerebrospinal system; and a lesion there, the removal of which as we find would bring a great deal of improvement in the general condition.
Also we find the effect of the foods digesting and the assimilations would be greatly improved, as would be the activities of the hormones from same.
We would also find an improvement if there would be small quantities taken of both the Thyroid Extract AND calcium in the form of Calcios.
The Thyroid Extract would be taken in the dosage of about one-twentieth grain once every three days.
The Calcios would be taken about once each day in periods of three weeks; sufficient to cover a cracker eaten with the evening meal.
These acting upon the system with the corrections, as we find would bring the better conditions for the body; though these corrections should be applied under the directions of one who could apply also hydrotherapy, or the hot and cold water treatments. These would be given at the time when the corrections are made in the cerebrospinal system, especially through the upper dorsal and lower cervical areas. We would have at least three periods of the adjustments, with at least eight to ten treatments in each period or series.
And be mindful that there are sufficient exercises when the hydrotherapy or hot and cold applications are made, to work the activity of the blood stream THROUGH both the superficial and deep circulation.
Do these, and as we find we will bring the better conditions for the body.
Ready for questions.
(Q) What causes and what should be done to prevent hemorrhages of the rectum?
(A) The hot and cold applications will be most beneficial. This as we find is more from the prostates than from the folds in the intestinal area or in the anus itself. Consequently, we will find that the exercises and the applications of lotions do not work so well together in this particular case. But if the hot and cold applications are taken, and the properties as indicated, these will aid in correcting the condition.
(Q) Why do I remain at about the same weight, 147-150 lbs., my weight [height?] being 6'3"?
(A) As has been indicated, owing to the lack of the ability of the system to supply the overenergizing of the body.
(Q) Why is the field of spermatozoa very inactive and low in count? [though not barren]
(A) As also indicated, the disturbance from the glandular forces to the glands or the tests and the prostates.
(Q) Any further advice for my welfare?
(A) These as we have indicated would be the better for this body.
We are through with this Reading.

Calcios is manufactured by the Colloidal Health Products Corp., Greenvale, Long Island, N.Y. It comes in a syrupy paste and sells for $2.50 a jar.
At your convenience we would appreciate a history of your case to the time of obtaining the Reading. This is valuable for our files, so that we may have something authentic with which to compare our information.)

BACKGROUND

12/24/38 He submitted questions.

REPORTS

2/11/39 He obtained a Life Reading - See 1792-2.
5/19/68 Reply to Questionnaire:
"The health advice was followed for good period. Conditions later required a rectum operation to fully relieve the conditions. However, when I stopped smoking I put on plenty of weight - from 147 to 200 lbs. The reading about the throat was correct. It always has been my weak spot. As a young child I outlived black diphtheria even after the doctor gave up hope. It certainly took its toll, though, leaving me the weakness involved in the reading."
