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; answering the questions, as I ask them.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2864], present in this room.
3. As we find, there are conditions that prevent the better physical functionings through the body.
4. The effects produced, and the causes, as we find, are very far apart in the experience, or in appearance.
5. For, in some time back, some years ago, there was a minor injury to the back. This was in the area of the 3rd and 4th cervical, and in the 3rd and 4th dorsal. Lesions have formed there. These have gradually deflected impulse to throat and head. At times the body has had very acute head pains; not as headaches but as head pains, that have gradually passed off. But these deflections have begun to affect the activity of the glands, - the thyroid, the inner portion.
6. Thus there is an accumulation there, that will gradually change the pulsation, the activity of the heart, and naturally the pressure - for it is internal - will affect the trachea, the breath, the ability to swallow in a normal manner.
7. These, as we find, are the sources and causes of the disturbances that are disturbing this body, [2864], we are speaking of.
8. In making correction for these conditions, we would begin first:
9. Take one drop of Atomidine in half a glass of water before the morning meal, each day for five days. Do not take more than the one drop each time, see. And at the end of the five days, leave off five days. Then begin again, and so on. But do have a five-day rest period between the five-day series of taking the Atomidine, see? Do NOT take more than the one drop each day, especially through the first one or two series of treatments as we will indicate.
10. By the time the Atomidine has been taken for the first five days, begin making the adjustments in the cervical and dorsal area. Have these done osteopathically, but have such an one as Irvin make these adjustments, see? Naturally, this will take a little time. Have these about twice each week, until at least sixteen such treatments have been taken, before there is a rest period from taking them.
11. While the beginning of these, with the Atomidine and the first two or three adjustments, MAY cause a little quickened pulse, have this watched after when the adjustments are made. While this may cause a little fullness, do keep up these treatments.
12. After at least two weeks of the adjustments, or three weeks, we will begin to see REAL improvement in these conditions.
13. But take at least sixteen before there is a rest period from the adjustments.
14. At that rest period we would give further instructions.
15. As to whether there will be the necessity of the addition of electrical vibratory forces will depend upon the manner in which the body responds.
16. Do these, then, for at least sixteen adjustments.
17. Ready for questions.
18. (Q) Any special diet?
    (A) A normal, regular diet; not too much fats nor too much starches combined. But at least once each day do eat some raw, fresh vegetables; such as lettuce, celery and the like. These will stimulate nerves and aid the pathological effect of the Atomidine (which is atomic iodine) upon the glandular system.
    Do keep the eliminations well. These are very good in the present. At times these cause some disturbance, but with the adjustments these should be stimulated to better activity.
    These corrections will be found to be needed in the 3rd and 4th cervical and between the 2nd and 4th dorsal. Do not attempt to make the whole adjustment at once, but gradually bring these into alignment. And we will remove these disturbances; otherwise they may become serious for the body.
19. We are through for the present.

    Copy to Ass'n file
    [Remarks immediately after the reading: Had an automobile accident ten years ago; head was injured; one eye put out.]
    (12/05/42 GD's notes: Atomidine sells for $1 a bottle, and may be secured at Burrow-Martin's, Peoples, or Meredith's at Va. Beach. Let us know when you have followed these through sixteen treatments from the osteopath, so we may make an appointment for a Check Physical reading to give further instructions.)

BACKGROUND

1. 12/05/42 Question when coming to be present for rdg.: "Is there any cure for condition of throat which extends down into my chest at times? What causes it? It feels like it is going to burst at times. I've been to eight doctors, had x-rays, and none can find cause."

REPORTS

1. 2/19/43 See 2864-2, at which time he said he felt a lot better.
