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, present in this room.
3. As we find, there are conditions that prevent the better physical functioning of the body. These have primarily to do with the nervous system, the glandular system, and the conditions existent in the functionings of these in relationships one to another.
4. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body:
5. In the blood supply we find in the hemoglobin the lack of those elements that supply to the nerves themselves sufficient quantity of that necessary to cause the stamina or the elasticity of same to reproduce itself in the system. This, to be sure, is supplied from certain glands indicated in portions of the digestive system, as related especially to the lacteal ducts; those from which there is the first activity in that patch after the same has been acted upon by the gastric juices from the spleen and pancreas.
6. These, then, cause the nerves in the locomotion, the nominal balance, to become involuntary when they should be controlled by the sensory forces as voluntary reactions.
7. In the nerves themselves, in the activity of the cerebrospinal cord (or the central nervous system), we find - of course - a depletion. But these are not so much depleted as to cause whole disability in the action of same. But the nerve fibers from which the glandular forces are active as related to the lymph and emunctory circulation are discordant in their association, through soft tissue of body, through muscular forces of arms, limbs, and especially the locomotory centers - both from the lumbar and sacral area and the brachial center. This is primarily from the lack of glandular supply to create or recreate the stamina in nerve force.
8. We find the functioning of the organs of the body very good; though these, of course, will gradually weaken as long as these depletions continue. For these are drawn upon for sufficient force to supply the elements in nerve plasma.
9. Now, as we find, these conditions can be materially aided. It will require a little patience, a little persistence, and a great deal of consistency. There will be required consistency in the mental, the spiritual, and the physical coordinating with these, and the supplying to the disturbing pathological conditions the correct elements not only to supply lacking forces in the body but the ability to so stimulate glandular forces themselves as to bring better conditions for the body.
10. The massage is well that has been administered, but we would carry on this in a little different way and manner.
11. We would prepare the low Wet Cell Appliance that will carry to the body vibratorially these three elements, Spirits of Camphor (commercial strength), Nitrate of Silver (one ounce of a 2% solution in two ounces of distilled water), and Chloride of Gold Sodium (one grain to each ounce of distilled water). These solutions would be used alternately, as we will indicate - which will be a little different from the manner ordinarily suggested.
12. The strength of the Appliance should be regular; that is, to the gallon and a half of distilled or rain water, add:

    Copper Sulfate..............1 1/2 pounds,
Sulfuric Acid, C.P..............1 ounce,
Zinc............................6 drams,
Willow Charcoal...............1/2 pound.

13. The attachments, of course, would be made of nickel or German silver and the copper alloy.
14. The larger plate would always be attached to the umbilical and lacteal duct plexus; that is, for this particular body, two fingers from the navel center to the right and three fingers up from that point.
15. Begin first with the Camphor solution, which should be used every day for three quarters of an hour for fifteen days. The small plate would be attached to the lumbar axis.
16. Then use the Silver solution one day and the Gold solution the next day for thirty minutes. Attach the smaller plate at the 9th dorsal center.
17. Keep the attachment plates very clean. Disconnect when not in use, and attach to the Appliance for twenty to thirty minutes before being attached to the body. Keep the connections that go into the solution very clean. After each application, clean them.
18. Keep alternating the solutions in this manner: The Camphor solution three quarters of an hour each day for fifteen days. Then begin with the Silver and Gold solution alternately, - that is one used one day, the other used the next day, - for thirty minutes. Use these in this manner for thirty days, then commence with the Camphor solution again, and so on.
19. Each day when removing the Appliance, massage the body with this combination of oils, adding each ingredient in the order named:

    Nujol or Usoline (as the base)........6 ounces,
Olive Oil.............................1 ounce,
Peanut Oil............................2 ounces,
Oil of Pine Needles.................1/2 ounce,
Lanolin (liquefied).................1/4 ounce.

20. Massage these oils thoroughly into the areas especially along the spine, over the sacral, on the limbs, up the spine even to the back of neck. Take at least twenty to thirty minutes to give the massage; not just to be gotten through with but to accomplish something.
21. Begin at once taking Atomidine internally; one drop in half a glass of water each morning before breakfast for three mornings. Then leave it off for a week. Then begin the next week, - say, on Monday morning, - and take again for three days in succession. Then leave off until the next week and take again for three days, and so on each week for at least six weeks. Then leave it off entirely for two weeks. Then begin again, and keep this up in this manner throughout the period of the treatments.
22. Continue all of these, in the manner indicated, for at least six to twelve months and we should find a great deal of change.
23. In the matter of diet, - take many of those vegetables that carry silicon; such as turnips, parsnips, radishes and all such; as well as seafoods. Not much of other meats. To be sure, these are not all the foods that would be taken, but have plenty of these in the diet. Citrus fruits of every nature should be taken. Avocado pears are also an excellent source of silicon.
24. Do these, and we will find help for this body.
25. Ready for questions.
26. (Q) Should the Scapolamine be continued?
    (A) Continue this until you begin with these things suggested here, then leave off.
27. (Q) Should I continue to live in Jacksonville?
    (A) Or still farther south.
28. (Q) Is it indicated that I will be financially able to keep my home there?
    (A) Why not? After a little while you should go back to work.
29. (Q) Can my condition be cured?
    (A) We're going to help it a lot!
    Be prayerful in what you do. Use thy abilities of the strength that is given thee through the use of these elements suggested, that are to supply those forces lacking in body from the one source. Give the credit, the praise to Him, Who is the giver of all good and perfect gifts.
30. We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

1. 8/31/43 Letter from wife, Mrs. [3311], to EC:
   "...We have been reading about you in CORONET. My husband [3310] has a serious muscular trouble called Parkinson's Disease which the doctors and clinics consider progressive and incurable. He can walk to a very limited extent. We are living on a small pension, but have sufficient funds so that I could take him to Virginia Beach if you think it advisable.
   "Would it be out of order for us to inquire as to the approximate percentage of cures which result from your readings? I would also like to know the approximate cost of the reading. We feel that your readings may be the answer to our many prayers. Inasmuch as he is gradually getting worse and we are so very anxious about his condition, a reply at your earliest convenience will be so much appreciated.
   "Do you think our results would be just as satisfactory if I should make the trip alone or would there be some advantage in having Mr. [3310] present at the reading? Are your readings ever given through the mail? We are both perfectly willing to make the trip or do anything for the best results..."
2. 10/26/43 Comments and questions:
   Parkinson's Disease, considered incurable - Mayo Clinic prescribed light massages; took rabbelon for several years, a general medicine for Parkinson's, and for a few weeks have been taking Scapolamine which has seemed somewhat helpful.
   Should the Scapolamine be continued? Should the light massage be continued? If osteopathic treatments are recommended should I return to Duffee in Jacksonville for these treatments, or seek another osteopath? Should I continue to live in Jacksonville? Is it indicated that I will be financially able to keep my home there? Can my condition be cured?
   [Mr. [3310] and his wife, [3311], were present for their readings.]

REPORTS

1. 2/14/44 Letter from Mrs. [3311] to IMG:
   "...You were very kind to have the druggist send us the Pine Needles Oil. At least three or four weeks ago we wrote the same druggist for two ounces of the same oil, also two ounces of Lanolin (Liquefied), also required in the massage oil. We didn't want to trouble you again, but wonder if we may impose on you to call the druggist and urge immediate shipment - C.O.D. as before..."
