TEXT

GC: You will answer the questions regarding this body, as I ask them:
EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2456].
As we find, very soon - within the next three to four days - there should be seen reactions indicating the effects of the applications being made.
Ready for questions.
(Q) What was the effect on the body of Tuesday's transfusion?
(A) This at first appeared not to be coordinating in the circulation, producing a shock; but gradually, through the effect being produced by the Atomidine - or the atomic iodine, there has come a better flowing and activity.
(Q) Is there any way to cause the spleen to go down or reduce it from its present size?
(A) As the circulation is aided by the activity of those administrations being made, there should gradually be caused the better reactions and the assuming of better proportions.
As we find, it may become necessary for another administration of X-Ray to the spleen, see?
(Q) Has Atomidine taken the proper action as was expected?
(A) As indicated, the Atomidine is purifying the system. This should be continued in the manner that has been outlined. The body is taking on more, and assuming reactions under same. This may cause quite a variation at times in the pulsation, even apparently causing more - or higher, or greater - fluctuation in temperature.
At times we would add an equal quantity of GRAIN alcohol to the peanut oil for rubbing. This will aid in reducing temperature. This would be more specifically used in the area of the 5th, 6th and 7th dorsal, when there is the adding of the alcohol for the reduction in temperature; at other times extending it equally along the whole area of the spine, see? but do not add the alcohol each time the massage is given, - only at those times when necessary to reduce the temperature, when it would be specifically massaged in those areas indicated - though extending lightly over the other portions also. Use grain alcohol, of course; not rub alcohol - half grain alcohol and half peanut oil.
(Q) What causes the fever to go up?
(A) The attempt of the lymph in its circulation to adjust itself, or to destroy the infection through the liver and the spleen circulation.
(Q) When will we see it go down for the first time?
(A) This will depend, to be sure, upon reactions. It may not be given as to time, but as to reactions.
As indicated, we are finding better reactions - and may even find some higher fever - FROM the Atomidine, see? but very soon there should be begun the showing of better conditions.
(Q) What is the effect of the oranges so far?
(A) These supply in the activity of the circulation those necessary vitamins, and that element of activities in the system to keep a balance. The principal activity here is the calcium in same, see?
(Q) Was the massage given heavy enough? How long should it be given?
(A) The massage is very well, but we would do this the more often, see? As long as there is an opportunity of it producing the effect to all areas of the better activity to the organs of the body. The "why" of the massage should be considered: Inactivity causes many of those portions along the spine from which impulses are received to the various organs to be lax, or taut, or to allow some to receive greater impulse than others. The massage aids the ganglia to receive impulse from nerve forces as it aids circulation through the various portions of the organism.
(Q) How much peanut oil should be used in each treatment?
(A) What the body absorbs.
(Q) Is there any danger of deep hemorrhage in massaging the spine?
(A) No danger of deep hemorrhage, unless this would be too severe over those areas of the 8th and 9th dorsal, see?
(Q) Is there any way to make the liver more palatable so he can eat it?
(A) This we would grind and steam, keeping all the juices in same. We would grind and cook in Patapar Paper, or heat in Patapar Paper, saving the juices; and this then, of course seasoned, may be made more palatable.
(Q) Is there any way we can disguise the liver so when he takes it he doesn't know it?
(A) This, of course, may be mixed with bread or other things, but if prepared properly this should not be disturbing to the body.
(Q) Why does liver make him so ill?
(A) As has been first given, it's the natural reaction to those things that are abhorrent to the body-consciousness, see?
(Q) Could it be given hypodermically?
(A) It may be given by hypodermic, but - as we have indicated - not unless it is not assimilated by the body through the eating of it in the manner outlined.
(Q) Why is liver so hard to digest once it gets into the stomach?
(A) This should not be hard to digest. With lactics it may be made to digest the easier, if it is desirable for same.
(Q) Is the Infra Red light being given properly?
(A) The Infra Red light as we find is being given very well. This is doing that for the structural portions which is beneficial.
We should see results. Though it is tiring at times, irritating; yet in such conditions there are periods of restlessness indicated for the body.
(Q) Is 35 to 40 minutes too long?
(A) About thirty-five to forty-five minutes should be the correct time.
(Q) How often should the blood count be taken?
(A) About every five to six days.
(Q) What else can the doctors do to aid the body to help it take hold of itself to bring about a recovery?
(A) Just the encouraging and stimulating to the mental self to fight back. Be more and more optimistic and creative, and not expressing that of fear.
(Q) Is there any other suggestion that can be made all of us to further help [2456] get well?
(A) As we find, just be persistent and, most of all, consistent. And those about the body, be more and more sincere - not merely by word but in the daily contact with others. LIVE that ye ask FOR thy son.
We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

REPORTS

3/24/41 Extract from Mrs. Fenton Taylor's letter:
"Dr. Taylor has been intensely interested in the case your father had the Reading on [2456] and has been going there almost daily. However, the family requested him not to come again, so there is a great opportunity closed off. Isn't it a pity?"
4/05/41 HLC's ltr. to David E. Kahn: "...I had a letter from Mrs. Taylor a few days ago indicating that Dr. Taylor was no longer checking on the Leukemia case. Do you have any information on this? It certainly looked like a wonderful opportunity to check through on the information..."
