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 - what a sad condition, and not a result of karma, but an accident - or a lack of proper precaution in cleanliness by the nurse in the early periods of the body's present earth experience.
3. The character of antiseptic used working upon the organs of the sensory forces brought about inflammation, destroying the activity of organs - as in the hearing and the vision. And what a lovely body!
4. Here we find that much might be said as to the type of antiseptic used.
5. But the conditions to correct, and how:
6. First keep the outer ear very clean but don't probe deeper into the drum of the ear. There is already too much irritation.
7. Also there is a prolapsus in the Eustachian tube. There are destructive forces that have come through absorption in the orb and iris of the eyes.
8. While it may require long periods, it would be worth it if there would be applications to the body in these fashions:
9. As indicated, keep the ears clear but apply cotton to protect the outer ear.
10. Begin with the use of the Wet Cell Appliance carrying to the body vibratorially, alternately, Gold and Witchhazel.
11. The plates would be a little bit different for this particular disturbance in the body. While the nickel plate would always be attached to the umbilical lacteal duct center, the small copper plate connections would vary.
12. The Witchhazel should be used twice to the Gold once, and the copper plate would be attached at the 1st and 2nd cervical centers, and use it for half an hour at each period two days in succession, the Witchhazel would be used commercial strength and use four ounces.
13. The third day, when using the Gold Solution in the proportions of one grain Chloride of Gold Sodium to each ounce of distilled water - and use three ounces, attach the small plate to the 3rd dorsal center, - between the 2nd and 3rd dorsal center. This would be for thirty minutes, every third day.
14. The Appliance would be made with the regular charge solution.
15. Keep the attachment plates very clean. Disconnect from Appliance when not in use. Connect it at least twenty minutes before they are to be applied to the body. Clean when taking from the body, clean when being applied to the body.
16. The larger plate would always be attached to the umbilical and lacteal duct center which for this body will be the width of two fingers to the right from the navel center, one finger up from that point. This would be the nurse's fingers, not the child's fingers. Change the charging solution every thirty days, also changing the Gold Solution, as well as the Witchhazel.
17. Each day immediately following the use of the Appliance, massage the body particularly from the 9th dorsal upward. Begin at the temple, either side of the head, going down gently. This would be well to be done neuropathically, using cocoa butter rather than oils.
18. Many months later, these treatments may be done osteopathically, using finger surgery to remove the lesion along the Eustachian tube.
19. In the diet keep laxative foods. Keep the eliminations a little above normal.
20. Use lots of prayer.
21. Of course, keep up the training by touch, as the body may become more and more sensitive as these applications are made.
22. Do these and we will bring help for the body.
23. Ready for questions.
24. (Q) Please direct parents to the right doctor or hospital to administer these treatments.
    (A) These treatments had best be done by a good, sympathetic neuropathic nurse who would have the greater charge or care of the body. For these treatments should be given daily, you see?
25. (Q) How long should these treatments be continued before the osteopathic finger surgery is attempted?
    (A) If it takes forty years, it will be worth it! But in less than forty days there should be seen results. It will be almost a year before there will be needed the finger surgery - then have regular periods for these treatments. Keep them up for a month, leave off three weeks, and then take them for another month. Rest from them another period, and then continue.
26. We are through with this reading.
