TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with further suggestions for corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2470]; this we have had before.
3. While there are many changes for the better, there are many things or conditions that might be desired for a better physical reaction in the body.
4. As we find, the body is still low in resistance. Thus, with the chemical changes, or superacidity, there are the easily irritated portions or conditions through the body.
5. The body is still inclined to be low in the red blood count. And there are the tendencies for acidity through the digestive system. This tends to produce irritation to the kidneys, and to slow the eliminations from the body; though we do not find any organic disturbance with kidneys. This is rather the functional disturbance.
6. About three times a week we would take a lithia tablet in a large tumbler of water.
7. From the natural activities, - that is, so much of sitting, with the activities in the form of the chair that is used, - there are those irritations to the sphincter muscles or centers. There are rather the tendencies for lacerations in the rectal area, rather than any growths - but adherences. And this tends to make for a great deal of itching and irritation.
8. At regular periods, - at least once or twice a week, - we would take the sitz baths; and this would be, of course, with quite warm water and then quite cold water - and these changed; or sitting in this for at least ten to fifteen minutes each, - the hot water, then the cold water, see?
9. Then use occasionally an injection of oils in a baby enema or ear syringe, see, - in these proportions:
10. To one ounce of Glycerine add three drops of Carbolic Acid and stir thoroughly; then add two ounces of Usoline. This should be sufficient quantity for two or three periods. Use only about the small ear syringe full at one time.
11. Then the matter of the diet and exercise:
12. It would be well for the body of evening to take the exercise for the lower portion of the body. Lying upon a bed, take the hip and leg exercise, - swinging these from side to side, - raising the limb high above the body - or head - but lying down, to be sure. Do this for three to five minutes daily, and this will - with these other conditions indicated - relieve the tension through the abdominal area.
13. Add to the diet plenty of fish, liver, and reinforced foods carrying B-1. But supplement same with One A Day B-Complex tablets, but do not begin these until there has been relief of the conditions in the rectal area, or until the body is pretty thoroughly cleansed, see?
14. Do these, if we would find bettered conditions.
15. A gentle massage of the body occasionally, with the electrically driven vibrator, will be most beneficial.
16. Do that.
17. Ready for questions.
18. (Q) Do teeth cause any of the illness?
    (A) We do not find there are other than local conditions needed with teeth. These are not portions of the disturbance, though it would be well to have these tended to,
19. (Q) Is the heart normal?
    (A) For the present conditions, the conditions of the blood, it is near normal.
20. (Q) Is the use of the violet ray lamp we have helpful?
    (A) If it is given after a good massage, and the sitz bath, it will be most beneficial. But without these, it would rather make for a settling of conditions in areas where weaknesses occur, rather than being of a great deal of help.
21. (Q) Any special foods to avoid?
    (A) Those that create acids, to be sure.
22. (Q) Any advice for feet and bunions?
    (A) With the exercise and the massaging of the bunions with the peanut oil, and this for the limbs also, we will find it will be most helpful for the body. But do all suggested.
23. We are through for the present.

REPORTS

1. 6/15/43 She requested Life Reading for son, [1519].
2. 1/30/51 Letter from [2470] to GD: "...I am returning herewith your office copy which you so generously and kindly sent to me sometime ago. I had put it away so carefully that it escaped my attention. I had already applied some of the remedies advised, and tried some others, but without avail. I had had X-Rays, Chiropractor treatments, etc. so finally, in desperation, went to Baltimore, and there was the answer. I had felt impressed, all along, to go, but trying to spare the heavy expenditure it would entail, but in the long run made cost much more in time, money and uncomfortableness.
   But, Dr. Allen found the cause and remedy. He is really fine. On the Staff of Hopkins. [Arthritis Abs.]
   My very best to you, and come and see us some time... You should see our twins [[1519]'s children]. These are such busy, troublous days, such as we have long known would overtake us. Sometimes in the quiet - I feel Mr. Cayce's presence so near."
3. 11/15/69 Mrs. [2470] died, at age 80.
