2/05/44 GD's letter to Mr. [
3275]: "Your letter of January
26th is before me. During the past two years, I am quite
sure we have had readings on at least 25 cases of multiple
sclerosis, for during that time we have been trying to index
specific diseases so as to be able to find them. Prior to
that many readings were no doubt given on that type of
condition, but we did not ask for a history of the
individual's ailment and, therefore, nine times out of ten,
there is no indication in the person's correspondence as to
the name of his disease. As you perhaps know, the readings
rarely name a disease - they merely give the cause, sometimes
the symptoms, and always the prognosis (which is mostly
dependent on what the individual does about following the
treatment outlined, but the reading tells what to expect IF
treatment is followed).
"So: all this prelude is to explain WHY I cannot tell you
the names of the people who have been helped. I can give you
the names of some people who are now following treatment, and
many names of people who stopped the treatment after a few
months - not being willing to stick to it without 'evidence
of things not seen.'
"I am sending herewith extracts regarding several cases,
which will give you a picture of the general outlook
according to the readings. It seems that almost every time
there is a karmic tieup requiring mental and spiritual
stick-to-it-ive-ness, as well as the material applications.
Perhaps that is why in each case there is such a
long-drawn-out treatment. Only those who are faithful in
meeting that needed may attain the results. A great deal of
faith is required as well as 'works.'
"Now, in arthritic conditions I could give you the names of
several people who have been completely cured. One of the
very worst cases we had was completely cured, but the
treatment was followed day in and day out over a period of
three years. No change was seen at all for the first six
months, but they persisted - it was the only hope they had,
you see, and they held to it.
"But, regarding multiple sclerosis, I'd like to give you the
names of the following people who are now following treatment
outlined in the readings:
"Mr. [
3310] of ..., Florida. (On looking up his file, I find
that his condition is termed Parkinson's Disease, but I
understand it is very similar - and the treatments outlined
in the readings for Parkinson and multiple sclerosis are much
the same; Mr. [
3124], Gould Farm, Great Barrington, Mass.
(Attention Miss Sarah Robertson, Nurse.); Mr. [
3218] of ...,
Conn.; Miss [
3151]; Mrs. [
3186] of ..., Wisconsin; Mr. [
1623]
of ..., Conn. (See first case on enclosed collection of
extracts.)
"Mr. [
3275], I certainly hope this information is something
along the line that you wish to have. I apologize for the
delay in answering you. Things are so piled up for me that I
can't decide half the time which should come first. I do
pray that you will continue your treatments, at least for the
period of the eight month series when the Check reading
should indicate the changes taking place from within, even if
outward changes or improvements are not so noticeable.
"As the readings so often intimate, especially in
partially-karmic conditions, it is the process of getting
well that is the great opportunity for the individual to meet
that necessary mentally and spiritually; for if one were
healed very quickly there would not be the opportunity for
the needed spiritual awakening - or the lessons to be learned
through the process of being healed.
"With kindest regards and best wishes, assuring you of our
appreciation of your interest..."
2/10/44 [
3275]'s note to Mr. A. M. Godfrey: "Please send
that vibratory machine ordered today by air express collect."
2/25/44 Mr. [
849] wrote that Mr. [
3275] had sent him a chair
which "seems to support my back and give me much better
posture."
3/11/44 [
3275]'s letter: "For the past two weeks I have been
trying to get some information on the application of that
vibratory machine that you recommended for me in Norfolk.
This week I wired them to find out how it was supposed to
work because I have it hooked up exactly according to his
directions. I am applying it for thirty minutes each day,
but I still can feel no action. Certainly there should be
some heat or vibratory effects that would be noticeable. I
cannot understand his failure to reply to my wire.
"Personally, I think you ought to have another system for
distributing mechanical devices like this because he is
getting $25.00 for a device that I would like to make and
sell for $6.00.
"I would very much appreciate your letting me have some
information on what tangible effect we should see from the
use of this Wet Cell Device. Certainly there should be some
heat or vibratory effect noticeable..."
3/17/44 EC's letter to [
3275]: "I have your letter of the
11th, and note what you have to say about the little
vibratory machine that was recommended for you, that is put
together by our friend in Norfolk.
"I wish it were possible for us to arrange to have these
machines built in a manner and way that doesn't appear so
crude and rough. We have, through the years, had a great
deal of trouble in getting these prepared properly. They
have been in the hands of a great many different individuals
and many of them have been rejected by the information.
"Many have been the questions as to the price, and yet, I am
sure if you could arrange so as to do the work or have it
done and sell it for anything as little even as $25.00, we
would be most happy to arrange it, because I doubt if you
have really considered what it takes to get the things
together even for this little Appliance. You can't do it for
$20.00, or we have never been able to at least, and we have
tried it through many men who have said the same as you, that
they would want to sell it for $5.00 or $6.00, but you can't
get the material together, even at the best times.
"The information has been proving these now for more than
thirty years. Through that time there have been possibly one
hundred people or nearly so at least, who have tried to build
these Appliances. Many of them gave it up because there was
nothing in it for them; many gave it up because they were not
really sincere in trying to build them.
"As for the vibration that you should receive from the
Appliance itself, it is a very low form of electrical
treatment, and is not felt by one out of a hundred who takes,
and yet I dare say, that seven out of every ten that use it
consistently and persistently exactly as the information
suggests, get results. Those who get the idea that it should
knock them down or make them sick, or this or the other,
don't get anything. It is not that it is active wholly on
faith, but that has been experienced by those who have really
taken the time to test the work of the machine where it is
indicated that certain elements should be carried into the
system. They will find by test before it is used there isn't
existent in the body these elements, and after it has been
used, they will find them in the body. Whether it sends it
directly, and manufactures it with the digestive forces of
the body, I don't know. I can only tell you what the
information says and what has been the experience of
individuals who have used same.
"I do hope that you will get results. I am sure you will not
if you are of the opinion that somebody is 'gypping' you on
the price or that the machine should do certain things when
you yourself don't feel it at all.
"I appreciate your interest and your sincerity of purpose.
"Do write me fully if there is anything that we can do..."
3/20/44 [
3275]'s letter to EC: "Thank you for your letter of
March 17th. The thing that burned me was the fact that I
wired this fellow in Norfolk for some information and, as
yet, do not have a reply to my wire. I have been using it
just exactly as instructed, and only the other day I checked
the gold bottle and found that it has gone down so I must be
getting something. I took the hot oil applications for four
and a half months because I did not get the vibratory machine
in time, but started directly after the four months. I have
followed all the instructions in the reading. Of course,
this vibratory machine is very simple to use, but of course,
it does mean that I have to stay at home. It is not readily
transportable.
"I had hoped to get out to Virginia before the Congress
because I made a reservation for a room at the Essex House
but question very much now whether I will be able to do this.
I will make an active effort to see you just as soon as
possible and will inform the Association of any changes
noticed.
"I hope you enjoyed your vacation and are taking care of
yourself.
"With kindest regards and best wishes..."
