TEXT

1. HLC: 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, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2406].
3. As we find, there is rather the complication of disturbances as prevent the better normal physical functioning. These have been of a gradual change, and have reached rather the specific disturbances - through the activities of the organs as well as their reactions in the physical functionings in same.
4. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [2406] we are speaking of:
5. First, the blood supply indicates that there has been and is a hindrance in proper eliminations and activities through the system, BEGINNING in times back from an unbalanced condition existent in the liver and gall duct area, as related to the lower hepatic circulation's eliminatings.
6. These gradually left pressures in the system, through their effect upon the heart's activity and the drosses producing pressures upon the nervous systems; until there is in the present the lack of the abilities for these functions to be other than under the stress - with the properties to assist in their activities.
7. The other portions of the nervous forces, - as of the mental reactions, - have not kept in accord with the bodily deficiency, in their pressures upon the locomotions of the body, as well as the functioning of the organs themselves.
8. In the nerve forces we find not the causes but the RESULTS of disturbing conditions through the body, as arise from this unbalanced force in the activity of the organs to supply the elements to the system to replenish those activities in the functionings of the liver as related to the pancrean actions, as well as the kidneys.
9. Thus these pressures upon the nerve forces, from the non-activities in these, bring these distresses in the present, as well as those effects upon the sensory system; as those changes gradually in sight or vision, as well as in the other organs of the sensory system.
10. Then, in bringing relief, - much depends, of course, upon the activities to the response the body may make in its DESIRE for recuperative forces to become an active influence in the body in the present.
11. For, much of these have grown to be as tiresome to the body, - the longing for relief, the longing for rest. And these attitudes - not of a mental deficiency but the inability of the body to coordinate the distresses with the activity of the mental forces, - must be taken into consideration, when there are the administrations of those things that would aid in prolonging or relieving and removing the disturbances as we find that exist.
12. In meeting the needs in the present, then:
13. We find it would be first in applying those influences that work with the glandular systems of the body, with a very low electrical force. This may be made with the B Battery Appliance, but let same carry the Chloride of Gold to the system, in a weakened solution, but in a way as to assist the activity of the gland forces of the body to receive that impulse for stimulating to the nerve system the plasm in same that has become gradually lacking in those influences, through the activity of the muscular forces as well as the nerve plasms along the system. The proportions would be one grain of Chloride of Gold to each ounce of Distilled Water. The copper plate should be attached to the lower portion of the 9th dorsal plexus, while the larger nickel plate - through which the vibration of the Gold Solution passes - would be attached to the umbilical and lacteal duct plexus; for only about twenty minutes each day in the beginning.
14. Then after there have been the reactions from this, - say, in about three to five days, - begin also to apply once a week the Ultra-Violet Ray, over the area of the ribs but from the back - not more than a minute and a half in the beginning; though if this is kept at sufficient distance from the body - that is, thirty-eight to forty inches (38" to 40") - it may be gradually increased in a few weeks to two minutes. Use the mercury quartz light, you see; not the carbon ultra-violet.
15. Also each day, when the body is prepared for the evening retirement, give a thorough massage along the cerebrospinal system with an equal combination of Olive Oil and Peanut Oil; massaging thoroughly the head (around the base of the brain, you see), the neck, the spine and the limbs; not merely to be gotten through with, but in a rotary motion along the spine - gently - and especially around the head and neck - ALL that the body will absorb. Pour a quantity in a saucer or bowl or the like, dipping the fingers into same and gently massaging this into the body, along the spinal system, upon the head and neck, and then the limbs. Sponge off afterwards, but take twenty to thirty to forty minutes to give this full massage. It will rest the body and improve the abilities to relax.
16. In the diets, - these have been a matter of disturbances at times. Only use those things that the body will assimilate easily, but as these applications suggested are made, we will find that the assimilation will be gradually improved.
17. Also include in the diet the Jerusalem artichoke. Do not give injections of insulin, but DO give the nervous shocks to the system by the use of these properties from which it is often extracted, - that is, the Jerusalem artichoke. Give one of these (about the size of a guinea egg) EACH day for three successive days, leave off a week, then give for three successive days again, and continue it in this manner as a part of the diet, you see. This should be prepared by boiling it in Patapar Paper, not overcooking nor undercooking it, but about as an Irish potato would be cooked. Let this be prepared and eaten with the meal, you see. And this shock, - as from the activity to the pancreas and the general nervous system, - WITH the other applications, - will aid in better activity through the body.
18. Do these things, if we would bring the better conditions for this body.
19. Ready for questions.
20. (Q) Will these suggested treatments relieve the pain in and over the eye, and the pains in her head?
    (A) As just indicated, these are DEFINITELY for the condition about the head and neck. The supply of the new blood to the areas here is hindered by those conditions or pressures upon the general nervous system, as indicated, see?
21. (Q) Will the patient retain lucidity of mind?
    (A) The activities suggested will retain or IMPROVE this condition, for the coordination here is to be made. It isn't that the mental forces are deranged, but there is rather the PRESSURE that causes the incoordination between the mental and the physical forces, see?
22. (Q) Are there any special foods of other natures that should be added to the diet, or any that should be left off?
    (A) Use all those that are easily assimilated. This does not there is to be followed any specific diet, but rather all of those foods easily assimilated of a general nature, see? with the specific added as we have outlined.
23. (Q) Is there anything that can be given to relieve present suffering?
    (A) The application of the electrical forces will be found to better relax the body than the injections or other forces, and this if why it is suggested FIRST - AS a relief to the great nerve tension to the extremities, or to the head and limbs of the body.
24. (Q) Is there any indication of cancer?
    (A) This is the basis of the condition, you see, but let's use these things suggested, if we would alleviate and distribute this influence through the system.
25. (Q) Will the suggested therapy increase the calcium in the blood?
    (A) It will keep the better BALANCE for same; for this has been a portion of that lacking in the general chemical forces of the system. The addition of the Jerusalem artichoke to be given three days in succession, periodically, will add those abilities to the glandular forces (as well as the vibration of the Gold, you see) to create a better normal balance in ALL those forces lacking in the body.
    Keep up the eliminations well, of course, even though it becomes necessary at times to use enemas.
26. We are through for the present.

    Two copies to Nephew (one for Mr. [257] or Mrs. [189] who can help you get the type Appliance prepared that is suggested. We are ordering from Va. Beach the type bottle to be used in the Appliance for carrying the Gold, shipped direct to you.)
    Copy to Ass'n file
    (If Jerusalem artichoke is not on the market now, it may be obtained from John A. Salzer Seed Co., LaCrosse, Wisconsin.)
