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 those desires and hopes of the body, [3620].
3. As we find, there are disturbing conditions. These have to do with the incoordination between the eliminating systems of the body where there should be drosses and poisons carried off through the alimentary canal, and being acted upon by the gastric flow from pancreas, spleen, and the activity of the liver and gall duct. These are congestions. Thus the poisons that should be carried through perspiratory or respiratory system produces a rash, as indicated on parts of the forearms and hands. Much of this arises from congestions in the areas of the antrum, the sinus and the mastoids.
4. Thus we have the disturbance with eyes and the organs of the sensory system, as well as those conditions of poor elimination and those tendencies for the activities in the sphincter centers or muscles in the lower portion of the colon to give troubles at times. Also the cramps, as in the muscles of the limbs, arise from these disturbances.
5. We find that these may be materially aided first by the cleansing of the alimentary canal. This should be accomplished by the taking internally of laxatives in very small doses to be absorbed by the body. We would use Caldwells Syrup of Pepsin, taken in broken doses for about three days; half a teaspoonful every hour (during the waking state) until there is a thorough reaction.
6. Then have high colonic irrigations; two of these in about ten days.
7. At first we will find that these activities will be very apt to make the rash much more aggravating. During such periods use on same the DDD cream to allay the disturbance.
8. After the cleansing of the system then have at least three to four osteopathic adjustments. These should include the lumbar and sacral, 9th dorsal, and from the 4th dorsal up to the 1st cervical.
9. Obtain and apply Rays Ointment for the rash. We find that this will relieve these tensions and alleviate disturbances.
10. In the diet keep away from too great quantities of starches. Never take white bread, macaroni and cheese or white potatoes, though the jackets of the white potatoes would be well for the body. Yams (sweet potatoes) would be very well for the body; but not the bulk of white potatoes, white bread nor macaroni with cheese. Not red meats of any kind. Plenty of fish, fowl and lamb may be taken and a great deal of raw vegetables. Do these and we will bring better conditions for the body.
11. Ready for questions.
12. (Q) Any special treatment for the sinus condition?
    (A) The massages will correct these conditions, if the system is cleansed as indicated. Use Glyco-Thymoline as a spray for nasal passages and throat. This should be three parts of Glyco-Thymoline to one part of distilled water. Use this in such as the De Vilbiss spray.
13. (Q) Are my home conditions the cause of my nervousness?
    (A) These are more of the mental, not home conditions. The attitude of self towards environs, of course, may cause aggravations. But there are physical disturbances.
14. (Q) Would buying the farm I have in mind help me to clear my nerves and cure my wrists?
    (A) Anyone who can buy a farm is fortunate, and buy it if you want to grow something and don't want to grow hungry in some days to come.
15. (Q) Should I get married as long as this skin condition exists?
    (A) No. But we can cure this up before fall, and you can get married in October if you like - be very good for you.
16. We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

1. 8/24/43 Ltr. from [3620]: "Please find enclosed my application for Membership to your Assn. I would also like a Psychic Rdg. just as soon as possible. I have been troubled with LICHEN RUBER PLANUS on both the backs of my wrists for 12 yrs. I have been to all the Skin specialists here in the country and have spent thousands of dollars but have found no relief. The raised fungus growth has never even slightly disappeared and the itching it is unbearable. The skin specialist have given me lamp treatments, x-ray, and arsene injections also arsene drops, salves, and all kinds of lotions for dabbing of the skin, but after going to them for 2 or 3 yrs. and at times twice a wk., they all tell me the same thing, there is nothing they can give me to get through the horny crust that has formed, and have nothing for the constant itching. Went to 4 specialists.
   Therefore I presume my rdg. would be Physical, but I don't know whether LIFE would cover the same. You see 24 yrs. ago I had St. Vitus Dance sickness and although I have been left slightly nervous when excited, but other than that have had no ill effects left. Whether this skin trouble has arisen from it or not I can not seem to find out."
2. 10/13/43 Ltr. from [3620]: "Received your [EC's] ltr. of the 6th informing me of the open period on Jan. 24th 10:30 to 11:30. I wonder if there is some Saturday after that, that is open, I would take that. If not then the above time will be suitable. The address will be ..., N.Y. My questions are:
   Is there any cure for both backs of my wrists from skin trouble? Is there anything that will form new skin and not the layers of hard crusts all the time. What remedy is there for me to follow? What can I use to stop the extreme itching all the time. Have had it for 10 yrs. will it get to normal again? Are my home conditions the cause of my nervousness, the cause of this skin condition. Would buying the Farm I have in mind help me to clear my nerves and cure my wrists? Should I get married or shouldn't I as long as this skin (Lackus Ruber Planus) exists?"
