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: 638 E. 4th Street, Tucson, Arizona - right pretty.
3. Yes, we have the body here, [4042].
4. As we find, there are disturbances that have been somewhat longstanding. These have to do specifically with the disturbance in the pulmonaries. This is lobular in its nature. There are some adhesions. These must necessarily be broken up, but this should come a little later, when there have been those administrations in which there will be the relieving of that destruction of the germs or of the activities that have produced such weakness, such disturbance, such taxation to the whole body.
5. We would begin first with preparation of the brandy keg for inhaling the fumes of apple brandy, for any pulmonary, lung or throat disturbance of this nature. Have the keg sufficiently large for at least a gallon of pure apple brandy not applejack. Keep this where evaporation will take place rather rapidly; that is, over and above the ordinary evaporation, but prepare so that the gases that form from this evaporation are retained in the space above the brandy. Prepare the vents so that the fumes may be inhaled three to four times each day, in the beginning very mildly; not into the stomach or swallowed but breathed into the throat and lungs.
6. This should be kept up for a period of at least two weeks before undertaking your treatments.
7. During that week make liver and beef juice the principal or basic food value, with the yolk of eggs and milk. Beat the yolk of the egg in milk and take daily as a part of the diet. Have this at a regular time each day, not the white of the egg, but the yolk beat in whole milk - and this as fresh as possible.
8. After the two weeks of this, then obtain Acigest and take three times each week, in the beginning, a teaspoonful in a glass of whole milk - as fresh as possible - preferably at the evening meal. This is to change the conditions that exist in the digestive system and to prevent the tubercular germ attacking the circulation in heart, liver and kidney areas - through the ability of creating the proper conditions in the assimilating system by the acids.
9. Also begin at the same time and take Calcios about three times each week, but not on the same days that the Acigest is taken. This would be taken preferably at the noon meal, and in this manner: Spread thinly with Calcios a whole wheat cracker and eat with the noon meal, three times each week.
10. Later the Acigest may be taken four and five times a week, and these may overlap some of the days when the Calcios is taken. This is alright, just so it does not overlap more than one or two days.
11. Also begin at the same time giving general massages daily, using a combination of four ounces of Peanut Oil and one and one-half ounces of pure grain alcohol. Shake these together thoroughly, then massage into the areas on the neck, between the shoulders, around the glands of the body - as the mammary glands, across the thyroid area, and down the lower portion of the spine and the limbs, across the torso or the upper portion of the limbs down at least to the knees.
12. This massage will add strength and vitality, taking away this tired, achy feeling. Do this at least twice each week but at regular periods. It would be preferable to have at once each day, but at least twice each week regularly.
13. The diet through these periods should consist of plenty of fish, fowl and milk, but not greases. Rather use all of the milk, the fruits and vegetables that the body may take, that are supplied in the area wherever the body resides at the time.
14. About the fifth week after beginning the treatments, do begin to take some exercise: Not in the heat of the day, but in the morning and in the afternoon - but not in the night air.
15. Do these and we will bring conditions of improvement, eradicate these disturbances.
16. Ready for questions.
17. (Q) How much tubercular activity is there in my lungs at present? Can it be cured, and if so, how?
    (A) In the present time there is quite a bit at periods. It is not too severe to respond if the applications are made consistently in the manner outlined.
18. (Q) Is there any other condition which is holding me back from complete recovery?
    (A) No disturbance other than that which will respond to the applications suggested. There are upsetting conditions in the digestive system. There has been at some times an upsetting in the kidneys, but these should respond if the applications suggested are adhered to. Do that.
19. (Q) Can I hope to be able to live in San Diego?
    (A) You can hope to be able to live wherever you choose, with the precautions that may be later outlined for the body when it is indicated where the activities would be.
20. We are through with this reading. [See second paragraph of below note.]

   [4042] (Sign full name, not initials) (If Reading is to be for a child, sign the child's full name, then: By----------) On opposite side please describe your case history. Over
   I have had pulmonary tuberculosis for many years. For the last six an a half years I have been in bed, with extensive trouble in both lungs. Treatment has consisted of bilateral pneumothorax, discontinued after about three years on account of adhesions; temporary paralysis of phrenic nerve twice; and finally, seven rib thoracoplasty three years ago and a parafine pack (on other side from thoracoplasty) last summer. Condition is now diagnosed as probably negative. The last two laboratory reports were negative. The doctor says he thinks I have nothing more to worry about, but he has thought that before when events proved otherwise. I am still in bed all of the time. Several times in the last six years I have seemed well enough to get up and to try to do a few things. Each time there has been a relapse.
