TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, we find there are many abnormalities in this body that have become the normal condition for this body. The lack of proper distribution of forces as used by the functioning of organs, the effect as is produced in the system by the lack of some organs to function properly, these and the effect of these conditions are the abnormal in the system. There are some abnormal that may not be made normal. There are others that may be assisted to gain their equilibrium and incentive for functioning within the system itself.
2. Now, these are the conditions as we find them in this body of [4932] we are speaking of, at ... Farm, ..., Indiana.
3. In the blood supply, we find at the present time not so much trouble being carried in the circulation as there has been produced at former times. Yet much of the trouble in the body has been produced by the former conditions and they have become from time to time localized within the system, and the body, attempting through nature's forces of protection to the physical and soul and spirit forces of the entity, going about to take care of the condition produced, some that have been handled correctly, others improperly.
4. At the present time, the blood supply shows the strain on the circulation to supply the needs, especially in the white corpuscle forces, especially the leucocyte element of same. Hence we find with the depleted condition of organs, the body, in going about to supply this element, creates, with the system in this condition, more secretion than is thrown off or eliminated. Hence has coagulated the functioning tissues and creative forces in certain organs of the body, as we shall see. The red blood we find weak in rebuilding force, hence the weakness as is given to the body at times. Though the physical forces are strong, sufficient in their appearance, not always. The heart carries out the forces as given through condition of organs, and also through the action of fear as is produced within the system, affecting then both physical action and spiritual forces of this individual. This we see carried especially in nerve energy of the reactive force. In the nerve system, we find this condition of fear rather than of nerve tension, except wherein the nerve forces have to do with the functioning or organs direct. Yet the forces produced by this fear may be overcome by the correct mental attitude without regard to the physical body. In the functioning of the organs of sensory system too, we find the condition prevailing where the extra amount of secretions being created in the system and the ability of the organs in its functioning with this circulation and fear, in nerve energy, to supply the force, with the dross being left in the body, produces the secretive growth within the organ itself thus affected, - as we have the condition in the eye here, you see. Not of the condition that the growth produced has set in itself the power of creating this force or that of cell force being formed within the growth produced, but the secretions simply pile up and produce the condition from time to time in this body, preventing the functioning properly of the organ itself. One is not there, you see, one organ of the eye.
5. In the circulation, we need then the stimulation to produce the proper elimination within the system. In the sympathetic nerve system we find the body controlled better, - that being through the spiritual discernment of the entity or the individual.
6. In the organs themselves, we find this condition:
7. In brain forces, the body is very good. In the organs of the sensory system, we find the condition as given. The growth over the lens portion of the eye proper, produced by secretions accrued and non-elimination through proper channels, and the capillary and lymphatic attempting to do the functioning of excretory system through this portion of the body.
8. In the throat, larynx and lungs, body very good.
9. Digestive tract normal for the age and condition. Pneumogastric center, with the fear, often shows its reaction on the power of system to take that which produces the rebuilding force for the body. The duodenal and pancreas, better than formerly. The lack of food has at times been beneficial to the body, through its fear of eating, you see. The liver, the excretory functioning poor, secretive functioning better than has been. The gall ducts show the lack of proper circulation through the system. Hence we find some of the spots as produced within the liver itself come from the action of the conditions formerly existing, in which nature has produced walls about many of these that prevent their ravages on the functioning of the organ itself. Hepatic circulation lower than normal. Heart action very good, though fear often raises it above the normal pulse. Kidneys not good but better than they have been in times passed [past?]. The functioning of the right kidney itself is impaired by overtaxation of the system in attempting to eliminate the extra amount of the acids produced by the lack of the functioning of the liver, though better at present. The inflammation produced in the bladder itself being rather of reflex and of high hepatics in times back and the sudden changes to below normal of same, produces distress to the portion of the body itself.
10. To give the relief necessary to bring the body nearer to its normal forces, would be to relieve the fear, through change of mental attitude toward self and others. Give to the system that which will supply the incentive of the system to bring the normal elimination as near as possible. This will be better reached through vibration than any other meats, though the secretions already formed into barriers for the vision will necessarily have to be removed both by the physical elimination through the system and assisted in eliminating through the capillary excretory forces, which we find by applying to the organ itself, this: That is, over the eye, see?
11. In the evenings when retiring for the night, that of the shade variety or vituperous nature, Irish potato, as commonly known, old, not new, scraped well and applied to the eye. Secretions bathed off the next morning with an alkaline antiseptic, not acid, and this applied again the next evening in the same manner, until this is loosened and is thrown off in extra secretions.
12. The vibration we would apply to the whole length of the spinal column of violet ray forces. That is, the current with the amperes cut, see? Also, the electrode used directly over the organ itself for one minute twice each day over the length of the spinal system or column, three minutes twice each day, morning and evening, see? Do that. We are through.

REPORTS

1. 11/23/34 Daughter [583]'s letter: "I have spent some time with my Dad who is now 76. He has had a growth on his face for years and while they still term it 'Epithelioma' it has malignant tendencies. Because of the nasal cartilage they are not able to use radium and use X-ray instead. We have been going to a clinic on the near-west side and he is to go again Monday. I fervently hope that it can be checked."
2. 12/11/35 Letter from [583] to EC: "...Poor Dad is to have radium treatment in the space where his left eye was. His chart reads 'probably malignant' but he doesn't know what that means. The Dr. at the head of the eye, ear, nose and throat dept. at the Cook County hospital happens to be his doctor. His wife and I are good friends..."
3. 12/41 Daughter [583]'s note: "Dad was buried 9/23/41."
