TEXT

1. 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 which have been submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes - we have the body here, [2007].
3. Now as we find, conditions as related to disturbing forces are rather well advanced. These should have had attention when there first began to be this excess of sugar, and those tendencies for weakening of the kidneys as related to the whole hepatic circulation.
4. These as we find may be materially aided, but this will require very persistent activities as well as consistency, as well as to the diets for the body.
5. For this excess in the sugar in the urine, and the weakening of the glandular activity or excess activity and weakening of the system as related to being able to take care of these, causes a great deal of disturbance as related to the metabolism of the system.
6. Thus while the heart's disturbance is serious, the diabetic tendency and activity is the more serious.
7. As we find, the causes of these arise from the excess of toxic conditions of the various natures, too much of the attempts to minimize the condition through cathartics of the nature that have tended to increase the activities through the pancreas and the liver, and the activities to the kidneys, rather than to decrease same.
8. As we find, then:
9. First begin to eliminate as much of the poisons from the system as possible through the alimentary canal, by the use of the high irrigations; using the colon tube, - though not too much at once. Better still it would be to have at least the first three or four such colonics taken by one who would administer same (once each week) who understands as to how much may be relieved without weakening the conditions of the body too much.
10. Then we would begin with the diets:
11. Refrain from all sugars, and most of the starches. While breads are to be taken, to be sure, use rather the whole wheat bread, corn bread or rye bread in preference to the white bread, see?
12. No potatoes.
13. Have more of the raw and leafy vegetables than others.
14. At least four meals each week should include the Jerusalem artichoke in the diet. One time this should be taken cooked, the next time raw. When cooked, prepare as you would a boiled potato; not boiled too much, but sufficient that it crumbles, - and keep the juices of same in same. Hence, cook in Patapar Paper. This may be given with a little salt, no pepper, and not too much butter. Butter should not be taken in any quantity, though a little for seasoning vegetables is better than the fats or oils, see?
15. Do these and as we find we may bring the better forces for this body.
16. Ready for questions.
17. We are through for the present.

    (If possible, have first few colonics taken in Dr. Jas. R. Parker's office, Bankers Trust Bldg., Norfolk.
    Patapar Paper may be obtained at W. G. Swartz, or Kresge's. The Jerusalem artichoke is the type usually used in making pickles; may be gathered this time of year.)

   Dear Mrs. [2007]
   We are endeavoring to bring our case histories up to date.

Was this confirmed by doctors? Did you follow the Reading suggestions, and what results were obtained?
   I would like for you to know about the Expansion Program described in the enclosed leaflet. We want every individual whose Reading are a part of our records to have an opportunity to take part in making this program a success.
