TEXT

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:
EC: Yes - we have the body here, [3164].
As we find, in many ways the physical forces of the body are not bad. Some are not good. There are definite disturbances in the upper dorsal centers; particularly in the 2nd and 3rd dorsal area, where there is almost an atrophy of the lymph patches that connect the sympathetic and cerebrospinal nerve forces, governing or controlling the reactions to vocal chords and to the optic portion of these patches, thus we have reactions where there is little or no control to the eyes at times, though the body can see very well when there is concentration; but then sudden changes of light, or of moving objects, cause a great distortion. Also these atrophied cause the inability of control of the vocal chords most of the time, though if there is complete rest, and there is the patient taking of the time, the voice may be near to normal.
These as we find come from an injury. In fact, there is some scar tissue from an injury in the external portion at this area of the body. Here we will find in making application for beneficial conditions for this body, many things will be sort of "in reverse." Hence this may be better controlled by not attempting to make adjustments, but rather by having the neuropathic and magnetic treatments from a good magnetic physician.
For thirty minutes each day preferably in the evening, there should be used the Wet Cell Appliance. But here it would be made almost in reverse. The larger plate would be attached to the umbilical center, to be sure, but - in this case - this is NOT to pass through the Solution. The smaller plate would carry the Solution vibrationally to the body, one time using Spirits of Camphor (commercial strength) and the next time using Atomidine (which is atomic iodine), in the proportions of one ounce of the Atomidine in 2 ounces of distilled water. Also use 3 ounces of the Camphor. Separate connections should be used for these containers. Take the connections out of the Solution when not in use. The attachment of the small plate (carrying one day the Camphor, the next day the Atomidine) would be to the 2nd and 3rd dorsal center. Change each Solution when it has been used fifteen times. Recharge the Appliance every thirty days.
Each evening when the Appliance is removed would be the best time for giving the neuropathic massage and magnetic treatment. In giving the magnetic treatment, the left hand would be placed over the lymph ganglia at the pit of the stomach, and the right hand would be placed over the 2nd, 3rd and 4th dorsal centers. This treatment would be given after a gentle manipulation, and also before, for five to ten to fifteen minutes.
Do these, being consistent with the general activities, and we may bring a great deal of help for this body. For, these are the general disturbances. The other disturbances - as, better control of the sound, taste, smell, and the other organs of the sensory system involved at times - and sympathetically the digestive forces and eliminations - will be materially aided by the improvements from this tendency for atrophy of these areas indicated.
Do that.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Would you suggest one to give these treatments?
(A) Anyone that's good as a neuropathic physician.
We are through with this reading.
Two copies to Self (one for the neuropath)
Copy to Ass'n file
Two Miss Goodall for indexing
(GD's note at the time of the reading: If you do not know a good neuropathic physician near your city, we would suggest that you ask Dr. Thomas T. Lake - 264 S. 16th St., Philadelphia, Pa. - to refer you to a good one in Washington. Let us have the name and address of the one you choose.
See extra sheet [which was enclosed] of directions to be sent to Mr. A. M. Godfrey, 2709 Lafayette Blvd., Norfolk, Va., so he can make up this Appliance according to specifications in your individual case. See article [which was enclosed] explaining theory of this Appliance.)

BACKGROUND

4/14/43 Letter from [3164]: "...For over 5 yrs. I have suffered...although not physically...from a functional aphonia...that's what the doctors call it...similar to yours, and an eye deficiency, wherein I want to close my eyes when my mind is not fully occupied with work..."
8/17/43 Letter from [3164]: "...I have difficulty speaking loudly and audibly. What is the cause of this difficulty? I also have an affliction of the eyes, and close them while at work or while walking down the street, and at times bump into people on the street. It is not a blinking but a complete momentary closing of the eyes. What is the cause of this? Generally my body is tense and there is also internal tenseness..."

REPORTS

11/26/43 Letter from [3164] indicated he could not remember any injury and, therefore, felt the diagnosis incorrect; he asked for a return of his $20.
12/16/43 EC returned his $20, saying "...We sincerely trust that you will soon be on the improve and will find just what you are looking for. Sorry not to have been of help..."
