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, [2565].
3. Now, as we find, there are a great many disturbances that prevent the better normal functioning.
4. These may be materially aided.
5. As to full corrections in the present, - it will require time and change of environments.
6. These, then, are conditions as we find them with this body, [2565]:
7. For some time back there has been a failing in the vital energies and abilities for the body to assimilate the proper amount of the vital forces to fully renew or revitalize the forces of the body.
8. Thus there has gradually grown the taking up of the vitality and the energies, with less and less ability for proper assimilation; hence forming more and more of a red blood anemia, but keeping near a nominal balance in the vital forces of the warriors in the blood stream.
9. Portions of these have gradually arisen from forms of toxic conditions, from poor eliminations; owing to the inability of sufficient exercise and activities to cause the normal reaction. Thus there has gradually come stiffness, as well as vital forces being taken away that produce muscular strength and muscular reactions; producing tensions.
10. The administering of blood supply (through transfusions) has not aided, because there has been little or nothing accomplished in aiding the body to better assimilate that it HAS been able to retain as foods or diets.
11. All of these, then, should be taken into consideration.
12. After these applications suggested here have been followed for some six weeks, there should be some changes wrought - as we find; so that, if there has been the response to those things indicated here, or now, then there may be given other suggestions (through this channel) for helpful or beneficial applications to improve conditions in the system.
13. In the beginning, then, - now:
14. We would each evening when ready to retire, and each morning upon arising, massage the body with Pure Peanut Oil. Pour a quantity into a saucer, dip the fingers into it and massage over the body, all that the body will absorb. Massage especially the whole of the cerebrospinal system, and across the sacral, and particularly the areas about the shoulders - or between the shoulders, and to the end of the spine. After some five or ten minutes the surplus may be sponged off, but let the body soak in all that it will.
15. Also it would be well, at least once a week, to massage this thoroughly into the abdomen and over the stomach area.
16. This will materially aid, after little, with the eliminations; producing better eliminations.
17. Then the diet:
18. Of course, do not give so much of this as to make the body grown tired, but give Pure Beef Juice as medicine, - not as something that is to take the place of any of the foods that have been administered; but give this at least five times each day - and in sips. Do not take more than a teaspoonful at the time, and take at least three to four minutes to sip the spoonful. This should be prepared fresh every morning, for this body.
19. Also have liver - calf's liver, especially - all that the body can absorb; this preferably broiled, not fried; never hard, but that which is the better and more easily assimilated.
20. The food values given the body should contain especially the vitamins A, B, B-1 and D. It would be better for all these vitamins to be taken in the foods, rather than in concentrated form; though B-1 may be taken also in concentrated form - as well as in the foods, see? that is, take especially those foods that carry these vitamins.
21. While the eliminations are so poor, it would be well at least once a week to give a colonic irrigation - or high enema, even through there are the daily eliminations by the use of the properties that have been given. For, such an irrigation would assist in purifying the colon so that the foods indicated may be assimilated, and so that the massage will be more efficient.
22. Do these, and be persistent with them, for six weeks.
23. Then we would give further instructions.
24. Ready for questions.
25. (Q) What may be done to relieve the severe nervous tension with which he has suffered for the last five years?
    (A) As indicated, the massage and the character of foods that are easily assimilated.
26. (Q) May anything be done to free him from intense fear?
    (A) Only that of strength, and the assurance in spiritual things.
27. (Q) Will he be able to overcome his weakness and be able to walk without difficulty?
    (A) This depends upon the responses. It will necessitate, a little later, the changing of environs - as we find. This will depend upon responses made.
28. We are through for the present.

    Copy to Wife
    Copy to Ass'n file
    Copy to Mrs. [1152]
    (See directions [which were enclosed] for preparing Pure Beef Juice.
    Let us know when the directions have been followed for a six week period, so we may make an appointment for a Check Physical Reading to give further instructions. [Ck. Physical Blank])
