TEXT

GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time; go over the body carefully, examine it thoroughly, giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them:
EC: Yes, we have the body here, [3025].
As we find, there is a complication of disturbances causing distresses with the body. These arise from the effects produced in the circulatory system following the flu. These have upset the glandular force, and thus the chemical reactions in the body; or there is the lack of elements that should cause the activities in the thyroid, as well as the lacteals - and their abilities in assimilating, through absorption, those properties for replenishing the energies especially in locomotory centers.
Thus the disturbances through alimentary canal, the easily becoming tired, the weakness in knees and limbs, and especially along those areas in the lumbar and locomotary axis. Thus the sides of the limbs, along the upper sciatics, give a great deal of distress at times.
The dull headaches, inability for the desire of activity. Thus we involve the circulation between the sympathetic and cerebrospinal systems.
These are the disturbing forces as we find with this body.
There is an edema in the circulation as related to heart, liver, lungs and kidneys.
These, then, as we find, would respond to these measures:
Take CALCIOS regularly, each day; about the quantity that would cover a whole wheat cracker thinly spread on as you would butter.
Twice a week, - Tuesdays and Thursdays, - at the evening meal, - take ACIGEST; half a teaspoonful stirred in a glass of raw milk, preferably homogenized milk.
Do this regularly.
About once each week we would have a hydrotherapy treatment; including:
A Fume Bath with Atomidine; followed by an oil rub with three parts of Peanut Oil to one part of Oil of Pine Needles, this to be especially massaged in the lumbar and sacral areas, between the shoulders, and on the limbs.
Use a teaspoonful of Atomidine to the pint of water in the container for the Fume Bath, and let this just about boil out, each time, you see. There should not be too much of any Dry Heat, just enough to start the body to warming up, not sufficient even for dampening the pores, see?
Do this regularly until at least eight or ten such Fume Baths and massages have been given.
Include in the diet at least three times a week sea foods of some kind; also turnips, carrots - cooked and raw; beets and beet tops.
Do these, and we should bring bettered conditions for this body, [3025].
Ready for questions.
(Q) What should be done for breaking of nails?
(A) We would massage the fingers around the cuticle with the Atomidine. This will tend to color for a while, but with the treatments that have been indicated, and the rubs, and the diets, - with this used once or twice a week so as to allow that already begun to grow, we should have better condition of the nails.
(Q) How may I regain the zest, the greater capacity for enjoying life, which left me completely after a great emotional upset a few years ago?
(A) As indicated, this is a general part of the condition, or a part of the general condition - the incoordination between the desire and purpose. Best that the body analyze self. Know its ideals. Find these in spiritual purposes, spiritual aspirations. See in everyone that ye worship in thy Maker. No matter what others may have done to thee, the manner in which ye treat thy fellow man is the manner ye treat thy Maker.
Ye are building, then, either a purposefulness of helpfulness or of retardments, hate, malice and jealousy that undermine body, mind and soul.
So, change the attitude - and do something constructive, helpful, a good deed for someone each day.
We are through with this Reading.

BACKGROUND

4/19/43 She wrote: "Last winter my heart started suddenly to miss a beat. This went on until the last few wks. until the condition seemed to have let up a great deal. Only very rarely now does it return. I have tired easily for a long time, but with this missing the beat last yr. and what seemed like a mild case of flu, I've been so tired all the time that the slightest exertion brings on such fatigue that I feel I still want to stay in bed most of the time. This tiredness is in the back & mostly in the legs when walking. In my arms in morning. Drowsiness & yawning & able to sleep for hrs. even during the day. Headaches almost daily that start in the back of the neck at the top of the spine. Drag out each day like a person convalescing after a long illness. Yet had spent months in the country last summer & have not done any hard or prolonged work this winter. Extreme state of spiritual & mental weariness with a feeling of no desire to carry on. Unable to do the creative work I had been doing. Condition of nails changed - break off. Bowels function regularly. Stomach in fairly good condition. However, must watch diet or upset easily."

REPORTS

6/16/43 She wrote: "I have been to see Dr. Reilly, but the baths he tells me are $5 each. Now this is much too expensive for me. Besides I expect to be away from N.Y. all summer and in the fall may not live in N.Y. at all. So would you please tell me if there is any way of my arranging to take such baths by myself at home? I am writing now to the addresses you gave me for the Atomidine and Calcios and Acigest."
6/23/43 EC wrote to [3025]: "I note what you have to say in yours of the 16th. I am very sure if you are in N.Y. you can make arrangements with Dr. Reilly. You might arrange to take the fume baths yourself, but the massage that you would get after same is something else. I believe you can get a sweat cabinet from Montgomery-Ward and Company, and maybe other places also, but I believe it would be better to try to arrange with Dr. Reilly for the whole time you are in N.Y., at least."
