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, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2423].
3. As we find, there are disturbing conditions which prevent the normal functioning and reactions in the system. These arise from TWO disturbances; first an unbalancing of the chemical system, until little reaction or assimilation of values of Vitamins B-1 is possible, or the coagulating elements; then poisons from hydrochloric acid, or excesses of same in the system, as combined with influences without.
4. Hence the inability for the coagulation, or for abrasions or injuries to heal. And these have become, and do find, a disturbance; and form the disturbance through the system.
5. If there will be the administration first of these properties we will suggest, we find that these will so react upon the system as to cause a purification for the body.
6. We would begin first, then, with these, and follow in this manner:
7. Each day take one drop of Atomidine in half a glass of water, before the morning meal, for five days.
8. At the end of the five days, begin on the next day with a mixture prepared in this manner:

   Rochelle Salts...........1 level tablespoonful,
Sulphur..................1 level tablespoonful,
Cream of Tartar..........1 level tablespoonful.

   Mix these thoroughly; not merely stirring together, but put the ingredients in a mortise and stir and grind these thoroughly together with a pestle.
9. Each morning then before a meal is taken, take a level teaspoonful of this mixture, either dry or in water. Do this for five days.
10. Then leave off for three days.
11. Begin then with the X-Ray treatments to the areas where the disturbances are indicated in the present. These are to be given only as flashes, and not LONG exposures. Only give them once a week, but keep them up for at least five periods - that is, five weeks.
12. Use any character of ointment. Preferably, though, we would suggest Cocoa Butter that is dissolved or rubbed in with Olive Oil; as this will aid in preventing scars, even, upon the areas where old sores and injuries have been so disturbing to the body.
13. A massage of the body once in a while; once or twice a week, or once or twice a month; will be HELPFUL to ASSIST the system in the eliminations.
14. During this whole period we would be careful of the diet.
15. First, have a cleansing diet, - that is, during the first five-day period of taking the Atomidine, go on an Apple Diet for three days. Take all the body may eat for three days, ONLY raw apples - this the entire diet for three days, you see. Then, on the evening of the third day, at time of retiring take a tablespoonful of Pure Olive Oil.
16. After the cleansing of the system in this manner, with the Atomidine first, and then the compound, we will find we will have changed entirely the reaction of the chemical forces of the system; purifying the glands, changing the chemical forces entirely through the alimentary canal; so that the X-Ray will then become effective.
17. By the time this series of treatments is finished, or before, we should find the conditions will have disappeared.
18. As to the diet after the first cleansing with the apples, - we would have plenty of carrots - raw as well as cooked; oranges, oatmeal - but preferably the steel cut oats and these cooked a long time, but in enamel or glassware, NOT in aluminum - for this body. For this body, do not eat foods prepared in aluminum at all; for, from the natural conditions and the supercharges of acids, the body will be allergic to the effects from aluminum upon foods, - especially tomatoes or greens of any character or kind.
19. Have plenty of vegetables in the diet, then; little of meats, but plenty of those especially as just indicated. All of those, especially, that are yellow in color carry the vitamins and forces necessary to prepare the proper chemical balance in this body.
20. Do these, if we would bring the better conditions for this body.
21. Ready for questions.
22. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. 12/02/40 Friend [2290]'s ltr.: "He has an infected index finger. It has been very bad for many weeks & he & his wife are very much worried about it. The doctors seem not to know what to do for it... Should it be massaged? How much longer should be kept in splint? What can bring back flexibility of end joint? How long before he can use the finger in playing the piano?"

REPORTS

1. 6/28/43 Mrs. [3954]'s letter: "I went on Sat. to call upon a sick man in a Chicago Hospital. His name is [2290]. I found he knew you and some years ago had a reading from you for his friend, [2423], who recovered. Mr. [2423] has been a friend of mine for some years. He and his wife [...] spent their summers at ... where I went to paint. Mr. [2423] asked me to call on his friend [2290]. We found a mutual interest at once in you."
