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 body here, [5296].
3. As we find, there are disturbing conditions. These arise from glandular destructive forces in the activities of a part of the thyroid and the pituitary glands, and thus the conditions which arose from high temperature affect areas supplied by energies from centers through which these glands maintain coordinating activity with the rest of the body.
4. Thus we find through the arms and shoulders at present, there is muscular atrophy, or the withering away of the muscular forces. This is from lack of certain elements in the system that may aid or supply nerve forces to the special activities of these glands.
5. We would then prepare for the body the Wet Cell Appliance carrying Chloride of Gold and Nitrate Silver for the body. Later it may be necessary to use the iodine for the throat and shoulder but these we would use first for at least ninety days. These, then, are the manners in which to prepare and apply for the body: Make at least, not double strength, but at least two pounds of the Copper Sulphate and the rest of the ingredients to make the Appliance in proportion. The Gold would be applied to the body every other day. The Silver every other day; that is, the Gold one day and the Silver the next day. The small plate through which the Gold passes (one grain to one ounce of distilled water) should be attached at the 9th dorsal. The large plate should be attached at the umbilical and lacteal duct plexus, which on this body would be on the right side of the abdomen or the width of four fingers from the navel center directly to the right, then up directly or straight up three fingers; there attach the larger plate for both solutions. This should be for thirty minutes every other day. The two percent solution of Nitrate of Silver (one ounce to one ounce of distilled water and one ounce of grain alcohol), should be attached at the brachial center; this is between the 3rd and 2nd dorsal center, the smaller plate. The larger plate would be attached the same as the other (that is, umbilical and lacteal duct plexus) but different connections, see? This do, and after given thirty days, recharge the Appliance. Change the Gold and Silver solutions. The connections must be taken from the Appliance when not in use, wiped off, but these put together twenty minutes at least before it is to be attached to the body.
6. Each of these should be followed by a thorough massage for all the upper portion of the body and should be massaged from the body towards the finger tips, see? We would use the combinations of Olive Oil and Peanut Oil for this massage, using all the body will absorb. This will require considerable in the beginning, for this should be done daily and should require at least thirty minutes to sixty minutes to give the massage.
7. Do these and then with the activities, keep in the open as much as practical, in the sunshine but not in the middle of the day.
8. Activities should be in those things which are constructive, not so much labors, but as helpful forces to others. Do keep creative and constructive, or do keep a spiritual attitude of constructive thinking.
9. In the diets have those which are body, blood and nerve building - a well balanced diet. Not any hog meat save bacon, nor a great deal of beef, but beef occasionally, once or twice a month. Liver, pigs' feet, fish and fowl; all of these characters of foods should be taken rather often when practical. Raw vegetables should all be in the diet; as celery, lettuce, tomatoes, carrots. Some of these grated and prepared with gelatin oft are very good for the body. Not every day but once or twice a week at least.
10. Do these things and then, as indicated, in ninety days we would days we would give further instructions.
11. Ready for questions.
12. (Q) Approximately when should I receive any improvement?
    (A) Within the ninety days.
13. We are through with this reading.

    Let us know when you get started with the treatments, so we can make an appointment in ninety days to give further instructions.)

BACKGROUND

1. Comment to GD from [5296] when presenting himself in person for the reading: Atrophy of neck and shoulders. Arms practically useless. Doctors say it is muscular atrophy and they don't know anything to do for it. I've been to many doctors, and get an osteopathic treatment occasionally. The trouble has gotten a lot worse since 1938 when I had typhoid fever; getting worse all the time.

REPORTS

1. 8/11/49 Report requested by GD.
