TEXT

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.
EC: Yes, we have the body here. As we find there are disturbances, and the vital energies and the abilities of the body to store resistance have been disturbed by too-oft child bearing, and this has taken from the system the elements that have not been supplied to give the body the ability to digest or assimilate the foods with those added ingredients or the vital energies or vitamins necessary for recuperation.
This has been a weakening, then, of the whole resistance in the central nervous system, as well as the blood supply, involvement being more in the form of functional rather than organic activities, though the weakness in the lungs, the heart, the liver, the kidneys has left the lungs very susceptible to infectious disturbances.
While as we find there are not active principles or active influences to the degree of disturbance that it may not easily be remedied if there is the use of the proper balancing.
These as we find should be taken, with some consideration given activities, not necessarily that there be total abstinence from activity, but not overtaxing in the body. Exercise in the open. Not necessary to rest away from the family, but to have about the body those who may be aides or helpers in care of same, for separation would be hard on the body and worse on the children.
We would begin to use this: Prepare a 1 1/2 or 2 gallon Charred oak keg with two vents in one end. Put at least one-half gallon of pure apple brandy in the keg. Keep the keg tightly corked when not in use. The fumes from the brandy is to be inhaled through the tube in the vent. Don't begin with more than one or 2 of these inhalations per day, for this is to be inhaled into the throat and lungs, and not to be swallowed, but this will give a stimuli to the body and strength.
Add to the body also Acigest. This not to be taken more than twice a week. Put 3/4 tsp. in a glass of warm milk, preferably warm from the body of the cow. Stir and let stand for twenty minutes and stir it while it is standing. Then at the evening meal take this.
Calcios (or calcium) should also be supplied in the body and should be taken at least three or four times each week, but take it regularly, and not just occasionally, but have regular periods. The Calcios may be taken between meals if it is desired. Spread this on a whole-wheat wafer, not too thick but so that this may be properly assimilated. Take this regularly.
In the diet: Add to the diet more of raw eggs, but do not take the whites or the albumin, but the raw yolk. This is to be cooked with spirits frumenti, or good rye whiskey would be well, then add milk. If the Calcios is taken in the morning between the meals, the egg would be taken in the afternoon between meals. Do take this with the regular diet. Do keep a well balanced diet; plenty of fruits, plenty of vegetables. Meats not fried, but fish, fowl and lamb. Whenever practical have wild game of any kind. Do not take too much of beef or hog meat, though beef juice and liver may be taken if this is prepared or taken as medicine, not broth, but beef juice. This should be just sipped, not taken as drinking soup, but let it be assimilated. If it is taken, never have more than 1 tsp. at a time during a whole day. This may be taken once a day or three or four times a week.
If we will do these we will find better conditions for the body.
If there are tendencies of restlessness, apply the violet ray, very low, but violet ray just before retiring. Apply on either side of the cerebrospinal system, not on the segments themselves, but rather along each side where the sympathetic nervous system or central portions of the sympathetic impulses pass down either side of the spine. Best that this be from the head to the end of the spine. This will bring better conditions, bring back strength and vitality.
The activities should be in the open, not in the middle of the day, but morning and afternoon; not too much in the noon-day sun, nor in the night air.
Do keep cheery company about the body.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Will I be able to have more children?
(A) You can have three if you wish, but don't have them so close together.
(Q) How much exercise can I safely take?
(A) Don't walk more than one mile a day, but that of course, would depend on the condition, but a little bit later as the strength returns. Play a game of golf, don't go more than 9 holes, but this would be well for the body. This would be in about six months.

BACKGROUND

11/06/43 Letter: "I wrote to you some time ago and received an answer telling me of the many letters you had had, and that you would try to help me as soon as possible. I was very grateful for your reply, but I'm writing again in the hope that you can help me immediately.
"I must make a decision within the next week regarding my problem, and I need your counsel. My husband and I have tried very hard to find the solution to our problem and haven't been very successful. It will probably be a very simple solution, after all, but we'd like help. Could you please find the time now?..."
12/03/43 Letter: "...I feel that I should explain that doctors have prescribed complete rest for me, but due to a chain of circumstances I have been unable to follow their advice. My real problem seems to be to find someone on whom I can rely to properly care for my children while I regain my health. Our financial status simply won't provide the kind of care I desire for them. I had hoped you could find a solution for us in a reading for me, because I understood from the article on your work in 'Coronet' that through your readings you're able to aid a member in solving his difficulties. I feel that there must be someone who could help me in return for a good home. Please advise me regarding the type reading I should have."
2/28/44 Questions submitted in addition to those at end of 5100-1: (1) What can I do to regain my health? (2) Is there any organic disorder which could be corrected? (3) When can I safely resume responsibility of my children and household duties? (4) Please tell me how I can prevent this condition from arising again? (5) Will it be possible for me to keep my children with me while I regain my health? Perhaps some of these questions cannot be included in a Physical Reading; however, I shall appreciate any message you can give me. I am very grateful for the appointment..."
5/06/44 Letter: "I will be at ... Mo. for my Physical Reading... Please tell me anything at all that will help me to become stronger, healthier. I want to live a useful life. Thank you very much."
