GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
-
EC: Yes.
-
As we find, there are some improvements in the general physical forces of this body from that as we have had here before.
-
In the present we would continue with the stimulating diets, - especially the beef juice, the high vitamin vegetables and fruits and the like.
-
And we would begin with heavy Castor Oil Packs each evening over the abdominal area, for an hour to an hour and a half. Use three to four thicknesses of flannel wrung lightly out of the Castor Oil, and then covered with cloths so as to prevent too much damage to the bed clothing or the like; then put an electric pad or the like over same to keep the Pack warm for the hour to hour and a half.
-
Afterwards the body should be sponged off - especially the abdomen - with soda water. Then give the body a gentle massage with Pure Peanut Oil (leaving out the Olive Oil, you see); massaging all the body will absorb, in a rotary motion down the cerebrospinal system; not too much a kneading massage, but in a rotary motion, letting the oil remain until the next evening when the Castor Oil Pack would be used again.
-
When the Packs have been given for three evenings, then take internally two tablespoonsful of Olive Oil.
-
Then leave off the Packs for five days, and then begin over again; continuing in this manner for about three of such series, that we may break up the adhesions, that we may enliven the activity of the assimilating system.
-
At the end of each series give the Olive Oil internally.
-
However, we would continue the Peanut Oil rub even through the rest periods from the Packs; giving this every evening when the body is prepared for rest.
-
Do these as we find in the present for this body.
-
Ready for questions.
-
(Q) Is the condition cancer? (A) Not as we find.
-
(Q) Can she be healed and be able to get up permanently? (A) This, of course, will depend upon the general reaction and as to how much faith there is, and as to how sincerely the applications are made of those things which have been indicated for the body.
We should find healing for this body.
-
(Q) What was the cause of the condition? (A) Worry, general debilitation, and a torpid condition in the liver.
-
(Q) Will she be able to gain weight in the next few months? (A) She should be able to gain weight if the character of diet is followed as indicated, - the foods that are high in vitamins and that give body-building influences.
-
(Q) Is there anything she is not doing to help her healing that she can do? (A) If she will do all of these as suggested here, we will find better conditions and faster improvement now - with the purifying of the system.
-
We are through with this Reading.

Rotary motion means like this, - down the spine and out from it; with fingers dipped in Peanut Oil. Then with palm of hand down each limb on back under side, and foot.
