Immediately after removing the Appliance, give the body a
massage along the spine, especially from the area between the
shoulders downward, or down to the lumbar area. Then begin
at the feet, massaging the soles of the feet and the bursa
of the feet, going upward to the lumbar area. Use this
combination of oils for the massage:
Nujol, as the base.................6 ounces,
Peanut Oil.........................2 ounces,
Sassafras Root...................1/2 ounce,
Oil of Pine Needles................1 ounce.
These will tend to separate, but shake them together, pouring
a small quantity in a saucer, dipping tips of fingers in same
and massaging, not rubbing with the hand or the palm of the
hand, but with the fingertips, along each vertebra, along
each portion of the nerves at the head of the long bone of
the limbs, under the knee, the calf of the leg, the ankle,
the heel, the sole of the - foot; though as indicated we
would begin at the feet and go upward - when massaging
the lower part of the body.
Do keep the eliminations well.
Include often in the diet seafoods and plenty of watercress,
celery, and lettuce, and occasionally carrots grated with
celery and lettuce. Beets cooked, but grated with the
celery and lettuce.
Do these and at the end of six months we will give further
instructions.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Is this multiple sclerosis as the doctors say?
(A) Just as indicated. Do as given and in six months we
would give further instructions for this body. Begin at the
beginning. Until there is found within self the hope, don't
begin with the mechanical applications.
We are through with the reading.

BACKGROUND
4/18/43 Letter from Mother: "She is 23 years of age and
for the past four years has been afflicted with multiple
sclerosis, which is a form of creeping paralysis...she has
been bedfast for the past three years. Is this multiple
sclerosis, as the doctors say? What can be done to help
or cure the trouble?"
