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, [1970]; this we have had before.
3. As we find, while there have been changes since last we had this body, not all are for betterments.
4. There continues to be those great strains upon the vitality and the energies of the body.
5. These are rather a complication, now, as they have been in part in times past; the digestion and assimilation poor, the blood stream very much below normal in the red blood and at times weak in the leucocyte and white blood.
6. The pulsation is fast. The pressure alternates very much.
7. We find that the conditions through the intestinal system continue to be the greater disturbance. The weakened conditions have allowed the disturbance in the lungs also, and this is the character of disturbance through the intestinal system.
8. Thus there becomes a great deal of disturbance in the lymph, and the colon is a source of a great deal of infectious reactions.
9. Hence the pains that pass through the jejunum are from the lack of the proper balance in the digestive fluids.
10. In making helpful administrations in the present, - we find that the body should be rather careful with the diet, as well as in the administration of those influences for creating - and for allowing the system to build - strength, vitality and energies throughout the body.
11. We would keep close to these in the diet, though not merely these - of course - but plenty of vegetables:
12. Have plenty of broiled or boiled chicken, and milk - especially buttermilk.
13. Also use plenty of carrots, both raw and cooked, and plenty of beans - but these cooked in their OWN juices (as in Patapar Paper) and never those that have had any kind of preservatives on same.
14. Have plenty of beef juices, rather that the beef itself.
15. These we would have in the diet, as well as fish.
16. White bread, spaghetti, macaroni, potatoes, - these should be taken very much in moderation, if at all. Only take small quantities of these.
17. Also we would begin with taking three to five drops of Elixir of Lactated Pepsin in water after each meal, for four to five days.
18. On the fifth day, take half a teaspoonful of Milk of Bismuth and TEN drops of Elixir of Lactated Pepsin stirred together in half a glass of water - this after one of the meals that day, see?
19. Then leave off the Pepsin for about five days. Then begin again with the small quantity. Repeat this several times.
20. This will necessitate that there be the use of a colonic irrigation or high enema the next day after taking the Bismuth, to cleanse or purify the colon.
21. Also we would prepare a tonic to be taken before the meals (even when the Pepsin is taken) and at bedtime.
22. Prepare same in this way and manner:
23. To 2 ounces of Distilled Water add 1 tablespoonful of Strained Honey. Let this come to a boil. Then skim and set aside. To this then add 1/2 pint of Pure Apple Brandy. Shake this WELL together.
24. Then add, in the order named:

    Fusion or Essence of Wild Ginseng.....1/2 ounce,
Essence of Wild Ginger................1/2 ounce,
Elixir of Lactated Pepsin...............1 teaspoonful.

    Shake this well together before the dose is taken, which would be half a teaspoonful four times each day, - before meals and at bedtime.
25. Do these, and as we find we may bring bettered conditions for this body.
26. Keep exercises in the open as much as possible.
27. Ready for questions.
28. We are through with this Reading.

BACKGROUND

1. See 1970-1.
2. 6/02/41 Phoned verification - don't know any questions except about diet - he just doesn't feel very well, and probably they'd all be answered anyway.

REPORTS

1. 8/02/41 Wife's letter: "He seemed to be much better but has gone back of late."
2. Questions submitted: Was the tonic prepared right and has it accomplished its purpose? Have the colonics been given right? Should they be continued? Why do I have such a lump under my ribs after eating, and a soreness [at] times? Please tell me the right foods to eat. Why do I still seem to have no energy?
3. 8/09/41 See 1970-3.
