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, as we find, there are many disturbances here, rather the complication of same, and yet these may be materially aided if there will be followed through with the suggestions which may be made.
3. As we find, here is a general tendency for lack of proper assimilation of foods, or the body is incapable of properly assimilating a great many that should be strengthening and body-building. This forms a kind of anemia which is lessening the numbers of the resistances in the red blood supply. This has not become pernicious as yet, but rather of a physical nature. There has been and still exists a considerable amount of congestion through the soft tissue in throat, lungs and nasal passages, of that which might be called humor in effect, a congestion from colds, but as more of that from catarrhal conditions or tendencies for soft tissue of the body to become destructive in the absorption of the emunctory activities in assimilation and in distribution of the energies through the body.
4. These, then, as we find, would be well to be consistent, be persistent. Change these only as there may be found necessity of adding to or taking from the body-forces in the diets or in the administrations of tonics which will supply energies for the body-forces.
5. Do take beef juice regularly as medicine. Take it at least four times each day. Liver also, and it will not be necessary, if these are taken properly, for there to be injections. For these injections prevent the activity of the organs in assimilation and are gradually weakening the abilities of the body to assimilate. But take at least a teaspoonful of beef juice four times each day and take at least a minute and a half in sipping this. That is, just sip it sufficiently that there is scarcely the need for even swallowing but let it be absorbed in the mouth as well as just trickle, as it were, to the throat and stomach, and then a swallow, but let it be with a whole wheat wafer which might be taken with same.
6. Also have morning and evening a massage of the spinal system and of the diaphragm area with Peanut Oil. All the body will absorb.
7. Also take internally once a day about a teaspoonful of Peanut Oil. Let this be taken much like the beef juice, very small sips, assimilated. Do this just before retiring at night. But do have those massages.
8. Also have a very low form of electrical force as with the violet ray. This should not be used more than a minute, but this should be rather over the frontal portion of the body along emunctory centers, around the throat and cheek and neck, down the central portion of the body, across the shoulder blades in the front portions of the body or just above the breast and below same, around the edge of the ribs, in the lower area of the rib center or bone or the sternum, across the diaphragm area, down either side, over the larger intestine or colon. Follow this across the body from right up, across and down. These will give stimulation to it. In the massage let this be rather heavy along the spine. Take internally, as supply or aid in diet, the B-1 complex, One-A-Day brand.
9. If the body will do these persistently and consistently, we will bring better conditions for this body.
10. Ready for questions.
11. (Q) Will this treatment build up my weight?
    (A) Try it and it'll add in the first four weeks at least four pounds.
12. (Q) Is there anything I can do for falling hair and to keep it from getting white?
    (A) Stimulate the better conditions of the body and that which ye should retain will be the result. Remember, it is better to have activities of the brain center, than hair.
13. We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

1. 8/14/43 [5334]'s letter: "I have been trying to overcome a problem of health for years but have been making slow progress. I have not been able to secure a good foundation for strength and vitality. My blood pressure is usually very low and that makes it an effort to go about my work."
2. 9/08/43 "My health generally has improved greatly since last writing, owing to some treatments from a chiropractor."
3. 5/15/44 "All my life I have had a struggle to keep on the job, so to speak, as I have never had a good bill of health. Periodically I have had to quit work and go home to my people and rest up. This meant quitting my job and having to start over again. I have always been obsessed with colds and have lost weeks every year with them. My digestion has always been below par with the result that I am low in weight." 1. What can be done to overcome anemic condition of blood so that I will not require regular injections of liver? 2. How can blood pressure be built up, as it is constantly below par? 3. How can my weight be built up? (I only weight 110 lbs, which is low for a man of my height. I am 5' 8 1/2" tall.) 4. Is there anything I can do for falling hair and to keep it from getting white? (I am taken to be much older than I am.)
