Time of Reading 11:05 to 11:15 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, W. Va. (Physical Suggestion)

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [133]; this we have had before.

2. Conditions are changed considerably from that we have had here before. The greater disorders and distresses, as we find in the present, arise from poisons in the system. At times they are from the improper digestion, and the character of fermentation. At others, they are purely toxic forces that arise from improper manipulations being given to make for the eliminating through the alimentary canal.

3. The tendency in the transverse colon for this engorgement that exists, and the prolapsus in the upper portion of transverse and the portion towards the descending colon, causes a great deal of the toxic force and the pressure in the transverse area, making more for the eliminations or the pressure that makes for eliminations, and the inflammation in the kidney and bladder area. Hence this at times makes for uremic poisoning. Hence we have swelling in the lower extremities, puffs under the eyes, and an engorgement about the waist line, shortness of breath at times in the heart’s activity, pulsation rises very quickly and subsides very quickly; blood pressure high.

4. Then, in meeting the needs in the present we would find that we would first give an outline to prepare the body; for later - as we will find - it will be necessary to change the order of those things that would be applied for the corrections to be PERMANENT; for the effects, as well as some portion of the causes, must - be attended to first. First, then:

5. For at least three to five days, let the diet be only grapefruit juices and grapes. Grapefruit juices. Not oranges, but grapefruit juices and grapes only.

6. We would make a poultice of grapes with the hull on, and put over the abdominal and kidney area, or encircling the body at the 9th to the 12th dorsal area.

7. After each meal - of the grapefruit juices and the grapes - take a quarter teaspoonful of AL-CAROID in a glass of water, dissolving same first in a small quantity of water and then adding a full glass of water, then drinking a second full glass of water following same.

8. Each four hours, except - of course - when the body rests at night - take two CAROID Bile Salts tablets; until there is the beginning of the eliminations from these pressures.

9. Then, when such eliminations have been begun, we would begin HIGH enemas, using the colon tube to eliminate those conditions throughout the colon. In the third day take another colonic, or colon cleansing. When using the waters for same, in the first gallon and a half put a level teaspoonful of common salt and a HEAPING teaspoonful of baking soda. In the last water use a tablespoonful of Glyco-Thymoline in a quart and a half of water, to act as an antiseptic for the inflammation in the colon itself.

10. We would keep the adjustments that are being made, but making adjustments in the lumbar, the sacral and the upper cervical area - from left to right, rather than perpendicularly.

11. After these treatments have been kept up for at least ten days, then we would give further instructions.

12. Naturally, with the character of the diet and with the eliminations increased, there will be weakness. Hence keep the body quiet.

13. Drink plenty of water at ALL times. In the water taken, outside of that used with the medicinal properties mentioned, put a pinch of powdered elm in same; stirring and letting set for a few minutes before drinking. Do not keep this made up. Should this become foul, it is VERY detrimental. If quantities of it produce belching, then take a small quantity of baking soda or the Upjohn’s Citrocarbonates - which will reduce the acidity.

14. Ready for questions.

15. (Q) Should the grapefruit juice and grapes be taken at the same time? (A) No! One at one time, one at the other. Or the grapefruit juices, of course, may be taken between the regular periods. But eat QUANTITIES of grapes - whether two, three, four, five or ten POUNDS, even!

16. (Q) Any special kind? (A) Those that may be obtained at any place at present.

17. (Q) Can the lady who has promised to give me the treatments follow out these suggestions? (A) If she will only give the manipulations, and - as given - not perpendicularly, but from the left to the right, in those areas indicated.

18. (Q) How may the neuritis be cured? (A) By increasing the manipulation and the eliminations. Do this. Then in ten days we would give further instructions.

19. We are through for the present.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 7/19/34 Letter: “I am sure trying to follow every suggestion…

“The lady that is treating me is writing you, too… Must I take the sun baths? Want to do what you think best, and the next time I write you I want to send you some money… Can my bowels be raised off my bladder without an operation? Is it best for me to try to sit up? Tell me just what to do and what to eat when I am not on the grapes and grapefruit, and how long to wear the grape poultice.”

R2. 7/19/34 Ltr. from Dr. Woodruff:

“Findings of subluxations or lesions in sacral-lumbar and cervical regions of spinal columns follows:

“Sacrum; when adjustments were begun was found to be overlapping 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae. A most unusual condition due to having been thrown onto door of car, while sitting in car with a child in patient’s arms. This sacral condition has been nearly corrected. Lumbar region seems to be very resilient - not ankylosed, but difficult to adjust due to this resilient condition. Second cervical vertebrae is quite much subluxated to the right. These subluxations should be all adjusted from the left. I appreciate very deeply your splendid suggestion of adjusting from the left. Furthermore, please give definite instructions as to diet - how often should the grape fruit juice and grapes be repeated?

“Should colonic flushing be repeated daily? We are doing this now. Mrs. […] has followed instructions carefully, having secured all the different things you advised.

“Please give instructions as to diet between periods of eating grape fruit juice and grapes.”
