Time of Reading 11:40 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, Va. (Physical Suggestion)

1. EC: Yes, we have the impressions here of the body - and those conditions and emergencies that exist about same. Ready for questions.

2. (Q) What is cause and cure for the psoriasis conditions on my body and scalp? (A) This, as we find, has been given - as to what would cure and relieve the condition. With the present physical condition, of course, it is a great deal better that these manifest themselves in such a manner, than that they be kept in! As is known, psoriasis is - itself - an infectious condition that affects the emunctory and lymph circulation, and causes an improper coordination of the eliminating forces of the system, as in this body. Would this not be thrown off in the epidermis, or the lymph and capillary circulation, with this particular condition of this body, the intestinal tract would be full of pinholes; or, were it to go to the lungs, there would be tuberculosis; were it to go to the valves of the heart, it would be heart trouble - as would be called; were it to go to the liver, it would be cirrhosis of the liver; were it to go to the spleen, it would be a hardening of one end of it; were it to go to the brain, it would be softening of the brain; were it to go to the glands of the throat or thyroids, it would be that of goitre; or were it to settle in some other portion - were it to SETTLE - it would become a tumor of some character or nature.

One should consider that the SYSTEM is builded to RESIST whatever may arise, and it TAKES THAT direction in carrying out for what it WAS constructed, and when it meets obstructions; then it attempts to build around, or overcome, by USING other portions or functionings to carry out its function.

In the present conditions that exist, these SHOW more in the present than ordinary because of the poisons that arose from the intestinal tract, and in the eliminations of the body - as in the appendicial region.

Unless there is extra precaution taken in the activity of the body, there must - sooner or later - arise that wherein operative forces WILL be necessary to PREVENT further inroads of the arising of septic poisons from the continual flow of pus from this area.

As WE would find, were there taken those properties of the ash - with those rays, and the body keep quiet SUFFICIENT period for coagulation to take place - this may be separated, or segregated in the system, and closed; or, if it is carried SUFFICIENTLY the system may absorb that as would be cut off; otherwise there will eventually be, from over exercise, a continual opening of those portions so disturbed, or drainages - and what is ordinarily termed “proud flesh” arise. In such conditions, then, EMERGENCIES will be necessary - but would be hard to combat!

3. (Q) What dosage of the ash, and how often? (A) Once a day, a quarter grain - with two to three minutes of the ultra violet, as applied to an area over the 9th, 10th, 8th and 7th dorsal.

4. (Q) Should the ultra violet be applied each day also, after the ash? (A) That’s what has been given, from thirty to forty minutes after the dosage of ash is taken the ultra violet should be applied. It makes quite a difference as to how it affects the system!

5. (Q) What is the present condition of appendix? (A) Draining.

6. (Q) Is an operation necessary at the present? (A) As has been given, as exists in the present - no. Would there be carried out that we have given, CONSISTENTLY - unless conditions ARISE - would be the better.

As for the diets that are necessary with such, that which is a well balanced - that creates sufficient of the vitality, but that does not produce or cause accumulations in any portion of the colon - as to cause the fecal matter to gather, or to expand or dilate, for this would of necessity produce irritation.

7. (Q) What particular types of foods should be avoided? (A) Too much sweets or too much sours, either!

8. (Q) Should any meat be taken? (A) Depends upon the character of meat and how prepared! A well balanced diet, as has been given. Use SOME common sense along with it!

9. We are through for the present.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 4/19/32 EC wrote asking how he was getting along.

R2. 4/27/32 Mr. [943]‘s letter to EC:

”…The carbon ash that I have been using seems to be doing the work and I wrote Mr. Bradley about the patent rights on it and I received a letter this morning regarding it which I enclose herewith. If the ash will cure me it certainly will cure others and I am very much interested in doing something with it as I believe that I could get funds here to get it started in a small way and develop into something that will help mankind in general.

“Would be pleased to hear from you about the ash and what your interests are regarding it and if it is possible to work something out.

“Enclosing renewal note which is due about the 30th and it is impossible to send the interest, but I hope to be able to send it about the first of the week.

“With kindest personal regards to you and yours…”

4/27/32 Enclosure in Mr. [943]‘s letter: [4/26/32 B. H. Bradley’s [Son of Franklin F. Bradley] letter to Mr. [943]]:

“Just received your letter due to a delay in its being forwarded to me.

“Carbon ash has not either been registered or patented as yet, due to the fact that the volume of sales has been so small as to make it impractical to do so. Although I appreciate your interest in securing the sales rights of the Eastern part of the U.S., because of the fact that sales volume is so low, I don’t believe it is advisable at all.

“Certainly glad to hear that the ash has been of benefit to you…”

R3. 12/18/40 Mrs. [2415]‘s letter (see under 943-12 Reports) stated that Mr. [943] died about two years ago.

R4. 12/13/49 Mrs. [1523] wrote of meeting a friend of [943]‘s wife, Mrs. [5569], who told her that Mr. [943] died in ‘37 or ‘38 - that a high blood pressure condition brought on his death.
