TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time; go over the body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body. You will answer the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, [2208].
3. As we find, the conditions which exist are the effects of the plasm in the blood supply - in the white and leucocyte - destroying the red blood cells.
4. This has been considered as a condition in which little or no relief may be had, other than the transfusions of blood as an aid to supply sufficient energies for the carrying on through the body.
5. We find that this may be materially aided for this body, if there will be the use of the blood of the body combined with Iodine - Tincture of; one c.c., - this at the time of the next transfusion given back into the body.
6. This effect is the lack of the cells becoming activated upon by the iodine - that is a part of the structural activity through the system.
7. Necessarily, this will require that some tests be made upon activities, or organisms, to get the reaction of same.
8. But this offers a means, a channel for aid for the conditions.
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) What percentage of the iodine solution should be given?
    (A) As just indicated, this as to the percentage must be tested upon organisms in which blood is traceable to the same character of conditions existent in the organism, so that there may be the proper balance gained. The quantity, you see, would be as indicated.
11. (Q) How long will it take for recovery?
    (A) Of course, this will necessitate more than one injection of same; but there should be seen longer and longer periods of the normal activity, if this is prepared and given as indicated.
    It should not require more than a few weeks to see the direct improvement.
12. (Q) How often should these injections be given?
    (A) Again, as indicated, it is necessary that this be tested upon organisms.
13. (Q) Will the suggestions given here be effective in treating Henry Werner Ketching, who is also suffering from what the doctors call Leukemia, and is now at the St. Luke's Hospital on Morningside Heights, N.Y.?
    (A) These methods will be effective in treating any individual case of such natures. For, the fusion is made of the blood of the INDIVIDUAL, you see, but combined WITH the transfusions.
    When these are used, it will be found that there will be the ability to reduce the percentage of such cases more than fifty percent.
14. We are through for the present.
