TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here.
2. Now, we find there are some abnormal conditions with this body. Some of these may be corrected.
3. Now, these are the conditions as we find them with this body. First:
4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find above the normal in pressure, and this is overcharged with drosses, as are seen from toxins that are not eliminated from the system. This produces, then, much of the trouble as is experienced in the extremities, especially where there has been strained tissue, as in knee (right one), and in the small of the back at times. This is as the form of condition as is termed neuritis, or a combination of neuritis and rheumatism, or conditions so named (though they vary some).
5. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, this is very tense throughout.
6. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, in this we find the greater condition to be warned of.
7. In brain forces good - above the normal.
8. In the functioning of the organs of the sensory system, the stress is as shown on the system through the nerve system, and through the drosses, show their effect, as well as does the age of the individual.
9. Throat, bronchials, lungs and larynx, all show they are very good, save as the cold or congestion shows its effect at times, by the continuing hacking cough, comes spasmodically - not always, see?
10. In the digestive system, this very good at times.
11. In the spleen we do find the greater troubles. This having been vented, [Mrs. [760] said Mrs. [265] lost temper often and violently. See 265-1 & 256-2 in re anger being karmic from Egyptian sojourn] as it were, from time to time, has brought on an over taxation of the organ and the functioning of same, and the stress or strain that is felt in the portion of the body at times is produced by this condition.
12. In the digestive system, in the lower portion, the inability of the system to function normal. Through the eliminations is the direct cause of the conditions, as are produced by toxins in the system, or constipation, and the excess of the creating, by exciting through the use of stimulants to the system in the mucous of the intestine, causes the colon to become clogged, and through same this brings the drosses, and the tissue in the lymphatic circulation takes up, or LEAVES, as it were, in the tissue, in joint, the distress as is caused to sinew.
13. In the action of the heart, with the condition in spleen, is the greater troubles, and these may be reduced and overcome by care and persistence, see? for with stress on the digestive system, and with the venting, as it were, of the functioning of the spleen (which is the quick action, of course, through the mental, or through the brain's functioning), in this, then, as is seen, care, attention, persistence, and consistent and CONCERTIVE action, must be taken, see?
14. In the broken tissue as is found in the left extremity, forearm, or finger, or hand, this had best be removed by the break being adjusted through operation, see? for this, with the strain on the rest of the system, might become malignant, through the continual dross being left and carried there, as it continues to increase, in the strain, the attempting to eliminate and seeking each and every channel, see?
15. For the conditions then as are seen in the spleen, heart's action, blood supply and digestion - no meats whatever for the system - NONE, see? Those of vegetable, green vegetable, as much as possible see? Fruits of morning. Little in midday, and green vegetables in the evenings, see?
16. Use high enemas to cleanse the system. This used with tepid water, and plenty of it, and use each day for at least thirty days. We will find quite a difference, quite a change in the pressure in the blood, quite a difference as is seen throughout the system.
17. Keep off the feet, see? Apply, when the strain is on the various portions of the system, a saturated solution of Epsom Salts, with SALT heat - wet salt heat, see?
18. (Q) Where should this be applied?
    (A) Where the misery is, where the pain is - across the back, knee - any portion of the body where pain is, see? This is to start the eliminations through the emunctories, as is also the diet, and the form of diet, and the way, see? Keep off the feet as much as possible, see?
19. (Q) Is the body in a condition to have the operation on the finger at the present time?
    (A) The body will, of course, be better when the eliminations are started throughout the system. Best after thirty days treatment of the high enemas, such as is used in Cascade [Tyrrell's], or in the elevators. These will produce a better condition in the blood and throughout the system, yet, with the stream started in the extremities, as at present, will not relieve the condition entirely, see?
    Do not give medicinal properties internally, and nothing that is as a sedative to the heart, see? Take local anaesthesia for the operation, when this is performed.
20. (Q) What causes intense pain in the side and back of neck at times?
    (A) Blood pressure. Unequalized conditions through the body, see? and the brain being over active through this portion of the system, the blood stream passes to and fro from same, see? The brain itself keeps the system clear.
21. (Q) What causes the soreness in the left side, just above waist line, at lower point of ribs, a little toward the spine?
    (A) The spleen, the condition there as we have given.
22. (Q) What is best to make the liver act?
    (A) Change the diet. Clean out what's below. Change the diet so that the reaction from the system is to make all of the digestive system function more normal, see? keeping off meats. Fruits, cereals of mornings. Green vegetables in evening. With the small amount of diet. We will find a reduction of the condition in the system and the more normal functioning of the system. Hence the continuation of the eliminating through the application of high enemas. This must be done, or else we will have this recharging, or surcharging, to the blood pressure, and to the spleen - heart.
23. (Q) What causes this enlargement on the finger?
    (A) Broken cell. Better in this portion than it has been for the trunk system - carried to this portion. [Cancer of finger? See 265-4.]
24. (Q) Any further suggestions to relieve or for the improvement of the body?
    (A) Do this for the thirty days. Then we would give further suggestions that would be necessary for the conditions existing at that time. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. 1/24/21 She wrote: "My daughter [538] was entirely restored to health some yrs. ago after a number of physicians, including specialists, had stated there was absolutely no hope of her recovery. I am acquainted with Edgar Cayce's work in relieving and restoring many people, including himself."
2. 6/12/25 She obtained her second Life Rdg., 265-2.
3. 6/18/26 Her sister, Mrs. [760] was present, submitting questions that Mrs. [265] had requested to be asked.

REPORTS

1. 6/29/26 She wrote thanking EC for the rdg., saying: "You will understand the delay when I tell you that [569] and I have been housecleaning (have just finished), and also trying to coax a little garden along and murder several thorns and weeds so I can find it without a search warrant. Together with the usual housework I have become tuckered out. You would think I would write each night, but one night [...] and [...] came, and others, [1312] and [2704] and [1312] going [talking] a mile a minute. They are here tonight and I hardly know what I am writing, so you see how it is.
   "I rec'd the Tyrrell's Cascade Sat., and thank you very much for ordering that, as well as for the rdg...
   "I don't feel any worse than usual and am getting along very well. I am sure going to have my hand doctored, for I have always had a horror of cancer and am afraid it might end that way...
   "I will try the treatment the best I can. Of course I can't tell about all the afflictions, but some I know are correct. Knees, feet, etc., and there must be some cause for them. I have been afraid a good while of high blood pressure, and have been eating very little meat but will leave it off entirely."
2. 7/26/26 Niece [569]'s letter: "Aunt [265] is taking her treatments regularly and I believe they are helping her, too."
3. See subsequent Ck. Physical Rdgs., the next one being 265-4 on 8/16/26 for which she submitted questions especially as to surgery for her finger.
