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 the impressions here of that entity called [5093].
3. As we find, there are disturbances here concerning which greater precautions should be taken. These, as we find, have to do primarily with the activity through the alimentary canal and the effect upon the organs of the central nerve and blood supply, for these are all involved to a greater or lesser degree; lungs, heart, liver, kidneys, through the activities of the alimentary canal, and thus with all the stress put upon the cerebrospinal and sympathetic nervous systems, incoordination exists between these two nervous systems. Thus we will find days when the body feels fairly well, and we will find days when, well, it's just an "all-overness," not particularly ill and yet not feeling good anywhere.
4. Irregularity in eliminations through the alimentary canal causes periods of hot and cold sensations and periods when headaches, eyes, throat and kidneys all give some disturbance.
5. As we find there should be these applications made: First a good, thoroughly relaxing treatment osteopathically administered, then a few minutes with the short-wave electrical treatments, with occasional (at least three or four of these within a month) colonic irrigations or purify the activities through the colon, especially.
6. These we would do consistently, and yet not over-do it, and we will bring bettered conditions for the body.
7. Do have at least fifteen to eighteen osteopathic treatments with special reference to those areas in the cerebrospinal system when there is the coordinating of the emunctory circulation, between sympathetic and cerebrospinal nerve system, which controls the emotions as well as the lymph circulation; those through the lumbar and sacral, 9th dorsal; from 6th to 1st dorsal and throughout the cervical.
8. We will be much bettered if these are done.
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) What can I do about the pain in the left leg?
    (A) Purify the circulation and remove pressures by the manipulations and colonics, as well as reduce the vibrations, or change the vibrations through the nerve plexus by using the short-wave.
11. (Q) Will this relieve the stomach?
    (A) It will relieve if it is purified. This will require a little time. Do not take carbonated water or strong or malted drinks of any kind. Do not take too many sweets, especially those of chocolate or those made with chocolate or any of that kind in the diet. Do not take too much fried foods, for these are all hard on the system.
12. (Q) Will smoking be harmful?
    (A) Smoking in moderation will not be harmful, but not over ten to fifteen smokes a day.
13. We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

1. 9/04/43 Letter: "Will you please give me instructions in the enclosed self-addressed envelope, how I can get a reading from you? I have been to osteopaths, doctors, etc. and have had different diagnoses of my ailments. Would appreciate greatly hearing from you. Thanking you in advance."
2. 9/22/43 EC's reply: "We are sending you under separate cover data regarding the work..."
3. 2/22/44 EC's letter: "...The first possible period is the afternoon of May 16 from 3:30 to 4:30 P.M. Eastern War Time. If you accept this period, a few days before this time, be sure to give us the exact address at which you will be at that hour..."
4. 5/09/44 Letter: "I will be at the above address, Apt. 210, at the time indicated above. (1) What can I do about my stomach trouble? (2) What can be done for my back? (3) What can I do about the pain in my left leg? (4) Will smoking or drinking moderately seriously harm me? Thank you."

REPORTS

1. 3/20/50 Questionnaire sent. No reply.
2. 7/28/52 Comment by IMG: "We tried to get a report on this case. We wanted specifically to check with Mr. [5093] as to whether he kept the appointment at the time and place specified in his letter of 5/09/44, because of EC's opening statement in the reading: 'Yes, we have the IMPRESSIONS here...' Presumably, Mr. [5093] was not there at that time, since EC usually would say, 'Yes, we have the BODY here...'
   "No record of verbal or written contact on this case since date of reading."
3. 3/10/53 D. H. Fogel, M.D.'s indexing for GD to use on 5093-1: STOMACH TROUBLE (?) type (M. 43)
   DX: "Incoordination exists between the two nervous system."
   RX: Osteopathy, short wave, diet.
