TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [3823]. As we find, there are the proper reactions in the system, and the body would be said to be rather in the recuperative state from injuries not only to the mental body but to the physical structure - as well as the shock to the nervous system; yet those things most necessary are to keep the proper diet, in such a way and manner as to supply an even balance as near as possible for the reconstruction, and to add that which will make for a better coordination as to vibrations to the whole physical force of the body, will be the greater or better applications for the body in the present.
2. Hence we would use those foods that carry in a soluble manner that which may be absorbed and become replenishing or rebuilding for the blood; or the calciums, irons, glutens that make for the urea. We would use principally an alkalin reacting diet, according to this as an outline:
3. Mornings - citrus fruit juices; orange juice and lemon juice combined, pineapple and pineapple juice, figs; or the dried figs stewed, or the cereals that have more of the whole wheat with raisins in same - though do not use citrus fruit AND cereal at the same meal. Whole wheat bread or cracked wheat bread toasted, with a little butter. Ovaltine or Sanka coffee or milk.
4. Noons - whole green vegetables are more preferable to heavier foods, especially at noontime; and these should be taken raw, in the form of a salad; such as celery, lettuce, onions, leeks, tomatoes, peppers, radish, carrots and the like - raw cabbage, especially the sprouts or the like. And oil or salad dressing may be used that will make it more palatable for the body; and this should be with calcium - rather sodium chloride, that is iodized and more preferable for the calciumizing or working with the conditions necessary for recuperative forces of the body. During those periods when there is little of the activity, so that there are not the normal eliminations, well that the vegetables or fruits that are the more laxative in form be used as a portion of the meal; such as rhubarb, figs, pears - of course, these should be either fresh or those canned without any superficial or artificial preservative.
5. Evenings - a well-balanced vegetable diet. The meats that would be included would be fish or shell fish or lamb, and occasionally wild game or fowl. However, none of these should ever be fried. It would be especially well at the evening meal to have RED cabbage, provided it is prepared in its OWN source - as cooked in Patapar paper, so that all the juices and vitamins may be retained in same. It should be the same with fresh beans, peas, lentils or beans may be a part of the diet.
6. These, as we find, would be the better for this body for keeping the proper balance.
7. When there is the removal of those braces, or that which holds same in place (and, as we find, this is knitting - and very well done), we would massage the arm with salt and vinegar. This will be most helpful; also - when knitting - that the shoulder and the brachial center be massaged with same. Do this once or twice a day; it will relieve, and the absorption through this manner would be well.
8. The electrical vibrations, as in any of the radial activity forces of the electrical energy, will be found to be most helpful; not too high, but those that are attuned rather to the vibrations of the body. Especially will such be helpful if creating for the respiratory system the ozone that is effective in making for better removal dioxide through the respiratory system.
9. In following these, we would find we would bring the bettered conditions for this body.
10. Ready for questions.
11. (Q) Would J. Howard Lawlor's radiation methods be well for the body during this convalescence and later on to tone up the general physical condition further?
    (A) Be excellent; and later - as the cast or brace is removed - would be most beneficial if applied with the properties as indicated for massaging; that is, the sodium chloride with the pure apple vinegar - not the superficial or artificial, but PURE apple vinegar. Wet the salt sufficient so that it does not produce too great an irritation.
12. (Q) Will she be able to get her just compensation from the man who ran her down, or his insurance company?
    (A) There is a question as to whether there is an insurance. As we find, though, if it is pressed - through those channels that have been already been set in motion - there should be gained sufficient for the caring for all the time lost and the doctors - or the help and aid given, or for the doctor's care. However, as we find, this will necessitate at least the threatening for suit.
13. (Q) Has she the right attorney to handle the matter for her and what further steps should she take?
    (A) Very good, if there is the urge given that there MUST NEEDS BE - owing to the circumstances - the PRESSING of same NOW!
14. (Q) How much damages will she be able to collect?
    (A) As indicated, sufficient to care for the time lost and for all the care during the period of lost time.
15. (Q) How soon will she get settlement?
    (A) Unless it comes to the necessity of filing of suit, she should have same when there is the threatening of the suit; for then there will be the approach for the settling of same without going into the legal phase of the suit and carrying it through. This, as we find, then, would make for about $150 to $250.
16. (Q) For eliminations, would J. Howard Lawlor's herb tea be satisfactory for kidney, liver and intestinal cleansing?
    (A) This is well, if the diet as outlined is to be followed. If not, then it may require the use of irrigations with same to prevent too much irritation by the herb to the mucus membranes of a portion of the colon that has NOT been in as good condition as it might be.
17. (Q) Will J. Howard Lawlor's circulation stimulation radiation be well for the knitting of the bones?
    (A) This, as we find, is well, but it would be better for there to be given the proper activity from that which is assimilated by the system for the blood supply. For to stimulate the activity of the hormones in the blood supply without supplying that which is of the nature to create these in a normal manner, is to produce that in the urea which destroys some of the efficiency of the leucocyte in its reconstructive elements in the bone, you see; and would then leave same so that cold or pressure in atmospheric conditions would affect the body, or as age goes on - and there are other factors allowed that make for less activity in the marrow bone of the constructive forces - there will be pains at times. However, with the vibrations as indicated - with the glands and the blood supply being sufficient to supply the reconstructive elements, the bones become knit normally - and thus would be just as efficient as any in the body.
18. (Q) As time goes on, could J. Howard Lawlor's radiation be used to improve her personal appearance - such as her hair, complexion, etc., through the blood circulation?
    (A) To be sure, if there is kept a balance through diet. Whether balancing or equalizing the circulation through the dilation of the ganglia that affect the activities of the circulation, or through the radial activity of the blood flow in its centers through which it passes, or just in that even of the etheronic energy within the hormones and the urea and in the cellular forces of the white cells themselves or leucocytes, all vibratory forces depend the greater upon the diet - or as much upon the diet as upon the activity from any of these. But such a radiation kept with the diet may improve the hair, the complexion, the general tendencies for the hindrances in the activity - especially in this body - of the adrenals; for these have been hindered by the accumulation of the uremic or urine acid in the system, and are the cause of a great deal of the disturbance in the exterior circulation.
19. (Q) Can any witnesses be found in or near the firehouse where the accident occurred?
    (A) The second ladder man saw same, as did also a delivery boy from a store near the corner. These, as we find, may be found; and while will not be necessary if there is the proper attitude taken with the attorney regarding the handling of same, these may be had should there be the necessity of coming to a trial. The settlement out of court, as we find, should be between $150 and $250. If there is to be the necessity of carrying same into the court, there should be the suit for at least $650 - which would be split then, and with the cost out and attorney's fees leaving about $250 for the body itself.
20. (Q) Did the man who ran her down pass a red light in hitting her?
    (A) Passed a red light on the change, yes.
    Follow these suggestions in the physical, in the mental, in the attitudes; and this body, as we find, will gain mentally and materially - and there should be more excellent returns in the financial condition through dividends in the gold associations.
21. We are through for the present.

   Washington, D.C.
   Mr. Hugh Lynn Cayce, Virginia Beach, Va.
   My dear Mr. Cayce, - The question enclosed with the dollar bill is of Dr. F. A. Goerger's asking and one with which he will cooperate 100%, if possible.
   You can always picture me from the hours of 8:00 or 7:30 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. as on the way to work, at work, and on my return to things of other interest. If I know when this question was to be asked I would quietly concentrate with a purpose of cooperating with you in the matter.
   I thank you kindly for your willingness to cooperate with me and your service to humanity is very laudable.
   All foods seems to irritate my skin about the ear lobes, back of ear, encircling neck and the face. The appearances is bad while the "spell" is (?) by scratching and rubbing which irritates it worse. Don't know what my system can be lacking but whatever it is, the question will touch upon it and settle the problem conclusively, I hope.
   The special adjustment by Dr. Goerger are a necessary part of my treatment tho they were not mentioned in my reading from N.Y.C. [D.C.] I have had them regularly since latter part of February.
   The attorney has been unable to procure any compensation to help with the payment of the terrific bills from the person who is the cause of all this misery. It seems like a stupendous proposition on my hands.
   With my best wishes for your success in all your undertakings I am
   Sincerely, [3823]
   P.S. I hope to build rapidly after hearing from you tho I have made some wonderful strides. I am not a sound sleeper, seems to be a weakness at times.
   Confidentially, Dr. Georger is much impressed with you all, esp. since he has had a nice long visit with your father this last trip to Washington, D.C. What causes the irritation of the skin? What remedy and which foods can be eaten and which foods to avoid to aggravate the condition?
