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, [3387].
3. As we find, conditions here indicate sarcoma - that is a part of the karma of this body. These may be aided, but as to correcting entirely - the suggested applications will only be helpful for the conditions.
4. We would apply Plantain Salve over the areas where the sarcoma nobules are indicated as being a part of the experience. Cut the tender Plantain leaves in strips; not the heavy leaves of the Plantain weed but the tender portion of same. Cut up about half a pint of these, and pour over same about half a pint of sweet cream. Heat until it almost comes to a boil. Apply this as a salve over the affected areas.
5. Also use over the structural portions from the back, preferably, the Ultra-Violet Light with the green glass projected between same and the body. Apply this from one to one and a half minutes, at least thirty-seven inches from the body - only the Mercury Light should be used. The green glass should be fourteen inches from the body.
6. These will bring ease. These will not cure, but are sources of help - and if studied - the juices of the Plantain weed and the keeping away from certain food values - help may be brought even to many individuals suffering with the same.
7. Do these for the helpful forces for this body.
8. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) Is the dietary treatment now being taken effective in helping him?
   (A) This is beneficial, not curative.
10. (Q) Any other suggestions regarding diet?
    (A) Just that being done is well.
11. (Q) What causes the dry cough?
    (A) The drain from the system by the circulation attempting to meet conditions in the lungs. This will be materially aided, we find, by the use of these things suggested.
12. (Q) What causes severe pains in spine? in pit of stomach?
    (A) As indicated, this is sarcoma. It will cause pains anywhere, everywhere - for it is a living thing on and of the body itself.
13. (Q) What is the origin of these cancerous tumors?
    (A) Karma. We do something to start this and then we meet it in the circulation.
    Do those things suggested that will help if applied consistently.
14. We are through with this reading.
