EC: Yes, we have the body here, [
172]. Now we find this
body has many specific conditions to disturb it. These,
however, are produced mainly from one existent condition and
the results as are produced in the system from same. In
times back, when the body was fifteen, the body had an
accident wherein there was an injury to the coccyx - the end
of the spine, or close to the end. This has thickened until
there has been produced a variation in the effect as produced
in the nerve system, through the lower digestive organs.
This same period brought about, with this retraction, that
condition wherein the stomach proper is tilted rather to the
end, so that foods do not act properly with the system, or
such a nature that scarcely does the body DESIRE food, for
the fermentation that takes place has been of such a nature
as to cause the body to be innately desirous of shielding
self from its misery as is produced by such.
The other conditions as have come about are more or less
varying, according to the conditions that arise at the time
that the troubles are caused, and from these.
These, then, are the conditions to be met. Now these may be
brought nearer to the normal condition. This would require
NOT an operation, but it will require the usage of those
conditions wherein the body would be consistently and
persistently looked after in a manner as would be in keeping
with changes from time to time. Then better send the body to
Virginia Beach for the hospital [Cayce Hospital].
Do that. We are through for the present.

[

and whether I should use them raw."
REPORTS
2/25/29 She wrote: "The long, looked for report arrived and
I wish to express my appreciation. While I cannot check up
upon my age when I had the fall, the condition brought about
in the coccyx is just as you have stated.
"If you were anyone else but Mr. Cayce I would be inclined to
think you were courting business when you tell me to come to
the hospital, but I know this is not so and I am very
grateful that the great intelligence manifesting through you
is ready to help me.
"I can't come right away as I have to get my two elderly
aunties used to my absence gradually and go only a short
distance from home at first. What are the hospital rates?
"Looking forward to the time when I may know you and when I
may be restored to a more healthy temple through which my
soul may function, I remain"
Cordially yours, [
