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: [5311].
3. As we find, life's ebb is close here for this entity. And while there is life, there is hope, but the vitality has run low. These are the results of many conditions which have existed for some time, in which all the organs of the central system of blood and nerve supply are run low, the vitality and the resistance; then the body grows weary. The soul grows anxious.
4. While there may be aid, these will give rather the opportunity for the expressions of mind and soul for their unison with the more perfect way:
5. We would, then, administer the Radio-Active Appliance. This we would give at least twice each day. These should be used to the right wrist and left ankle, then to the left wrist and right ankle. Use for thirty minutes twice each day. Use these periods for giving the "pick up" to the body, and have someone close to the body make the attachments, not necessarily the same individual, and use this as the period of meditation, with someone reading certain portions of the scripture; as the 23rd Psalm; 1st Psalm, 24th Psalm, 30th of Deuteronomy; the 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th of St. John; 11th of Hebrews; the 7th of Romans.
6. Use such periods to begin and then meditate, listening for the still small voice within. For it is in thine own temple He has promised to meet thee.
7. These will bring more comfort and more aid than all the medicinal properties.
8. Do keep the eliminations well, with as little laxatives as possible; eating, then, often oatmeal with figs, also pieplant prepared in many different ways.
9. All of these will be helpful, not curative, but helpful for the body; not only giving ease but mental and spiritual comfort to a weakening body.
10. Ready for questions.
11. (Q) Any special treatment for the hip condition and also back?
    (A) The unifying of the circulation and during those periods of first beginning the Appliance, massage these areas with equal portions of Olive Oil and Tincture of Myrrh. Heat the oil to add the Myrrh.
12. We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

1. 1/14/44 Letter from son: "She has been sick off and on for 26 yrs., sometimes quite seriously. Now she is quite old, weak and sick most of the time. Recently she had a bad hip which was diagnosed as sciatic rheumatism. This bothered her before but not to the extent it now does. Her back also is very bad. She does not seem to be getting any relief."
2. 2/44 "Her condition is real serious. Her present illness, once diagnosed as this, then that, together with many old ailments, makes it very hard for her to move - I am afraid that the years of sickness and her present ailment may cause her to pass away, perhaps in her sleep, or after a slight attack of 'gas' which she frequently gets, the weak heart may not be able to stand all that pain."
