(Q) Reading said to take fruit and meat juices. They cause
overactivity of bowels. What will regulate it?
(A) Taking them in a more consistent manner, and not
quantities of same - and these in their regular order, not
attempting to take both at one meal nor in large quantities.
As to the matter of diet, we find it would be as we have
suggested, in this manner:
Mornings - rather an oaten cereal, or fruit juices that are
chilled, in not too large a quantity, or fruit juices; as
the combinations of pineapples, oranges, grapefruit, lemons,
grape juice or the like - these also chilled, but not with
cereals. Browned bread, either the whole wheat, Graham or
rye, toasted. Not too heavy, but that which carries the
greater quantity of the active principles of the vitamins
iron from those properties.
Between the breakfast and the noon, take beef juices; not
other than that which has been indicated. NOT broth, but
beef juices - made as we have indicated - not more than half
or a quarter teaspoonful at a time.
Noons - any of the drinks that have been indicated, such as
chilled champagne, the apricot brandy, a little apple brandy
(not Apple Jack but apple brandy) - these will be an aid to
the cough. Then the semiliquids, such as in junket, blanc
mange, arrowroot, or the like.
Evenings - preferably the vegetable juices that would be made
from fresh vegetables, if they are cooked in Patapar paper or
steamed in their own juice and no water added; not with meats
or the like, in their cooking. To such there may be added
the croutons or the diced bread that makes for the thickening
of same, or the like.
(Q) What causes temperature to rise and fall so suddenly?
(A) Inflammation from the disturbances in the intestinal
area, from those reactions in the system. If we would use
a diluted GRAIN alcohol as a rub it will be more efficacious
for the reducing of the temperature. And when the rubs are
made these should be not only at the back of head but across
the hip and the small of back; not too heavy, but a GENTLE
rub. The massage that has been indicated, that has been
GIVEN, this is very good - very well given.
(Q) Will the alcohol rub as suggested upset her stomach?
(A) It's the inhaling of the fumes of the denatured alcohol
that upsets her! Hence use the diluted grain alcohol, and it
won't be upset!
(Q) Could body stand the trip to Jersey - at [daughter
[
459]]'s?
(A) Very soon, by Thursday or Friday, be very well. And
be much better than inhaling the fumes of the circumstances
and conditions around the apartment here! Be necessary, of
course, that the body keep quiet - and be just as gentle in
the change as is possible.
(Q) What will offset the paint condition in her system?
(A) Get out of it! Fresh air!
(Q) What causes the heart palpitations at times?
(A) The fumes. Conditions about the body.
(Q) What should be done for the weakness of the heart?
(A) Remove the conditions of the circumstances surrounding
same, and this will be near normal!
(Q) Is the condition in the right breast pressing against
anything causing any of the present condition?
(A) As indicated, the condition in the breast is irritated,
of course, by the excitement of the circulation and the
changes; but not pressure on any condition.
(Q) There is a piece of flesh at the base of rectum. What
is it and how may it be removed?
(A) It is a hemorrhoid condition. Use Tim and it will be
removed.
(Q) Is that the cause of the occasional soreness in the
rectum?
(A) Cause of the occasional soreness.
(Q) What should be done for the sudden chills?
(A) A stimulant, or a massage with the GRAIN alcohol.
(Q) What can be done to induce sleep for the body?
(A) Use the Radio-Active Appliance, it will induce sleep for
the body; or the gentle massage along the spine, GENTLY,
coming up to the head and around same, will induce sleep.
(Q) Why the sudden coughs? What will stop them?
(A) Regurgitation in the stomach. And, as indicated, use
those properties indicated.
(Q) Have my new glasses been fitted properly?
(A) These are very good, and when the conditions clear
and the surroundings are more applicable to the needs of
the body, the eyes will be found to be better.
(Q) Why the bitterness in the mouth and what will stop it?
(A) A condition that arises from gastric flow of the stomach
itself. This will be removed by the use of properties
indicated.
(Q) Do the teeth need attention?
(A) Need attention, but should not be done at present. In
two to three weeks.
(Q) Were the massages taken Monday night when I was
so sick given properly?
(A) As indicated, very good.
(Q) Will it be necessary for me to move from this
apartment this year?
(A) It'll be better, as we find, to visit; not necessary
to move.
(Q) Will the suggestions as given keep the bowels normal?
(A) Normal.
(Q) What causes the body to get purple?
(A) Circulation is being disturbed through the congestion
of blood in those areas where distressed, and the body being
subject to an activity that brings about the reactions from
suggestive forces, produces these conditions. The massage
and the stimulation will make for equalizing the circulation,
as would also the use of the Radio-Active Appliance.
(Q) Is the Ash being taken properly?
(A) Taken properly.
(Q) Are the lamp treatments being given properly?
(A) Very good. Keep these up.
(Q) Any other suggestions for the body for better
physical conditions?
(A) Keep the attitude of the expectancies for those
relationships in regard to the material and spiritual forces,
and we will keep the greater balance for this body, [
325].
We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND
See
325-49 on
10/07/34 for breast cancer.
10/09/34 Son submitted questions.
REPORTS
10/14/34 Son [
257]'s ltr.: "Just a few hurried lines to
tell you what happened. Mother was so very ill that I
felt we had better call in a doctor. I told him of the
readings and what they had done for her - and then the
second reading came and he read it and agreed with it and
said he was now very anxious to meet you. He is an elderly
man and a very fine doctor with wonderful standing and a man
we need very much in our work here. He is located on the
East side of town and enjoys the best practice in America.
"Well, I am glad to say that she is not vomiting any more
and that she begins to take food, but is very, very weak
and downcast. She thought she was finished, but never loses
faith in you. Your letter came in good time, as it was just
before she took sick.
"I had Reilly [Harold J. Reilly, Ph. T.] up and gave her a
massage and I got the Wine and all the other things that you
mentioned."
10/15/34 EC's ltr.: "Dear Mother [
325]: Certainly sorry to
know that you have been having such a time. I'm hoping and
believing, though, that this will find you considerably on
the improve. I'm sure the gas pains have been from an acid
condition, and that the nausea is somewhat allayed. If you
will use a little elm water, which is made with the pinch of
elm in a glass of water (it being stirred in same - don't
drink too much, of course, but a glass will last at least
half a day without souring), it will relieve this condition.
And have them also make you a little Saffron tea. This can
be kept for a day or so. Take a sip of it occasionally. You
will find these two things will relieve the gas pains and
prevent other things from forming this troublesome condition.
I would use also all the Olive Oil that you can assimilate,
but don't let them give you more than ten or twelve drops at
a time. This will make for the gastric juices becoming so
much better in your system that you will have little or no
trouble from now on.
"This should regulate the bowel condition a great deal more.
I'm afraid they have been tending to give you too much of
the beef juice at a time. There shouldn't be more than a
teaspoonful at any time, and it would be much better to be
half a teaspoonful. It is true that this tends to make the
gastric juices work more regularly in your system, but that's
what you need to get rid of those conditions that produce the
nausea as well as the irritations caused by the gas and acid.
"It may be the same reason why the concentrated vegetable
juices burn; that they have given you too much at once. It's
better that you be given a spoonful every half hour to an
hour, rather than taking a big swallow two or three times a
day."
10/15/24 EC's ltr. to her son [
257]: "Have yours of the
14th, and I'm writing Mother [
325] - and answering, I think,
most of the questions and things that will be necessary right
now. I hope so anyway. I'm sure you appreciate that I'm not
trying to shirk anything by not taking the reading for this,
but only you possibly can imagine just how busy we've been
since being here [D.C.]. And every single period has been
taken - Sundays just like any other day. And though I may
look young and healthy, it certainly does something, as you
very well know, to the body, to keep going. I've got to be
home a few days before coming on to N.Y., so will be here
until next Sunday, or intend to leave Monday morning. So,
when you get this, if you feel it would be better to have
something in a reading, don't hesitate to drop me a wire
and let me know. For I'd put off anything else if
necessary... She has that formula, [
257], for drying the
condition on the breast [the plantain], and I believe, as
she has told me before, each time she has ever used it, it
has stopped the condition from spreading, almost
immediately. And I feel very sure it will do it again."
10/17/34 Son's [
257] ltr. to EC: "I have your letter to
hand and also read the one you wrote to Mother. I believe
it covered the situation very well and therefore I did not
write for another reading...she is better tonight - the
breast - I saw for the first time - it has healed and I
believe as does the doctor that it is an exterior matter. As
for the inside of her body - it was worry that came at meal
time about some Jersey matter [See R5 below]. The doctor
gave mother confidence - she had taken all the medicine that
you had given and she was on the improve - except that she
felt that her heart would jump out and she could not relax as
she could not sleep but with the wine - the brandy - the
cordial - the liquids food and a mixture that the Doctor gave
her Monday she slept and today she is up for a while and I
believe she is on the road to recovery but I had almost felt
she was finished - but we fought and with your help we saved
her again. She never allowed anyone to know of the
condition and hence no doctor ever saw it - this doctor saw
it and verified all that you had said and consoled her on the
bitterness and heart and etc. and she began to get better
quickly. Many thanks to you again and Mother will write
as soon as she can. You will have a good friend in
Dr. Hauswirth...
"Mother prays for you all the time, as we all do, and I know
the prayers are heard."
10/18/34 Daughter [
459]'s ltr. [from New Jersey]: "Your
reading helped Mother quite a bit. She is still very weak
and I do feel that this time she is just as spiritually sick.
Does not seem to catch hold."
10/21/34 Son's ltr. to EC: "... Mother is still very
very weak but eating and retaining her food and also
resting better at the present time. If time permits
and you can ask the one question - how she can regain
her strength and whether she is progressing properly -
we would be very happy..."
10/27/34 Son's ltr. to EC: "...Mother is better and I
believe her chest is healing nicely..."
10/29/34 Daughter [
460]'s letter: "Just a few lines to let
you know how Mother is getting along. Of course you know how
grateful we are for your attention to her. As usual Cayce
remedies proved the best...
"[
257] suggested that I ask you for a ck.-up on Mother
before you leave for N.Y., as he says you will be very
busy while here. She feels so very weak and faint and I
wondered just what we can do about it. She eats very well
but doesn't feel any stronger. Perhaps a tonic could be
suggested. I hesitate to try just any tonic because of her
previous nauseous spells."
