1. 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:

2. EC: Yes, we have the body here; this we have had before. As we find there are changes in the body since we last had same here.

3. If there will be a change in the diet or the application of foods for reducing the weight, we will aid much in more normalizing the weight, for there is the tendency for high blood pressure throughout the body.

4. We would use first the apple diet to purify the system; that is, for three days eat nothing but apples of the Jonathan variety if possible. This includes the Delicious, which is a variety of the Jonathan. The Jonathan is usually grown farther north than the Delicious, but these are of the same variety, but eat some. You may drink coffee if you desire, but do not put milk or cream in it, especially while you are taking the apples.

5. At the end of the third day, the next morning take about two tablespoonsful of Olive Oil.

6. Then begin with taking (that day if you desire), about one-half hour before each meal and before retiring at night, three ounces of grape juice in one ounce of plain water.

7. Do not take any carbonated drinks. Cut down on sweets, but if you wish, honey may be taken or honeycomb at times, but not too much of this either.

8. These, as we find, will remove the tendencies for cricks in portions of the body; stiffness in the feet, hands and limbs at times. Do these for better conditions for this body.

9. (Q) What about the remainder of the diet? (A) Just a normal diet. Cut down on the sweets and do have more of the leafy vegetables.

10. (Q) What is the condition of the heart and kidneys? (A) They are overstressed or strained at times, but with this diet you will find all of these conditions will improve.

11. (Q) Any cancerous or gland condition? (A) Not as we find that will not improve or respond to a general purifying diet.

12. We are through.
