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, these as we find, are very serious disturbances, for these have been first partially from a stroke, or a broken cell and yet not a true collapse of the blood supply. Yet there have been leakages and these have formed, or are forming gradually, the pressures upon the reflexes of the brain.
3. As we find, the greater help would come from the massage following, at least every other day, a hydrotherapy treatment which would be given with Fume Baths or a cabinet or an open container in which there would be put a pint of water and in this two teaspoonsful of witchhazel. Let this boil. No other heat, but the fumes from this which may settle over the body. Then have a thorough massage and rubdown using equal portions of Olive Oil, Tincture of Myrrh and Compound Tincture of Benzoin. These should be massaged in and along the cerebro-spinal system, especially, always away from the head.
4. Do, at least once a week, use the radio short-wave to break this up, but not too strong.
5. These offer the possibilities of the greater help for the body.
6. Keep in the open when practical. Do exercise when practical. These offer the greater help for the body.
7. Ready for questions.
8. (Q) What is the trouble with his throat? Also his eyes?
   (A) All of these are part of the pressures upon the nerves of the sensory organism in the areas which affect throat and eyes. These, as will be found, are in the upper portion of the brachial centers, 2nd and 3rd dorsal, see?
9. (Q) What causes this weakness?
   (A) The lack of the ability of the body to assimilate, and that is why the strengthening forces which will come from the massages will make for better helpful forces in the areas, if these are followed through with.
10. (Q) How long should he stay in Fume Bath?
    (A) Just about the time it takes to boil out - it is only a pint - pint of water to two teaspoonsful of witchhazel.
11. We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

1. 12/14/43 Wife's letter: "He has been disabled for several years...has been to the best doctors in San Francisco and also to the Mayo Clinic. So far none have been able to find the cause of his trouble or how to treat his condition. I have faith to believe that you can help him..."
2. 6/29/44 "He has a strange disease which the doctors know very little about. They tell him it is a nerve condition but can't tell him the cause or what to do for his trouble. He has almost lost the use of his right arm and leg, and can't stand without toppling over...he has had all kinds of tests and x-rays and they can't find anything wrong, but yet here he is almost helpless. He is a man who has lived a good clean life, doesn't drink or dissipate in any way." 1. What causes this weakness? 2. What is the trouble with his throat? Also his eyes? 3. How should he be treated?
