TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [480]; this we have had before.
2. Now, as we find, while there are disturbing conditions, the general physical forces of the body and those coordinations in the mental and the physical have improved from that as we have had here before. And, as we would find, the following of the general outline which has been indicated would make for the bettered conditions for this body.
3. As to the applications for the vibrations that make for the radial activities through the system in the deep therapy or diathermy, as we would find, these would be better in the LESSER voltage than has been used; for this tends to make for a separation. In attaching the plates, we would make those in the upper dorsal and in the 9th and 10th dorsal, or the upper cervical and the middle dorsals - which would be much preferable to so much in the lumbar; though the lumbar area is necessarily that where there are the congestions. However, unless given too severely, these will not interfere with the reproductive activities of the body.
4. In the application of the properties in Tonicine for the building up of the system, this would be taken for a week or ten days previous to the periods, and would be taken according to the directions that are given with the properties themselves.
5. The rash, as we find, comes from food values that have been and are of improper natures in the system. For this we would use the Stearate and the Balsam, with the proper diet, and occasionally those rubs that have been indicated - though these have not been combined properly; the oil should be heated to add the myrrh, and it would be more preferable to massage along the radial axes of the system.
6. The manipulations should be given occasionally to keep the centers in the normal way and manner.
7. Be mindful that the diet is not so much of rich foods as to make for accumulations through too great a quantity of toxic forces, that arise from too great amount of carbohydrates or proteins or fats of any nature.
8. These will bring for the system the better conditions.
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) The myrrh and olive oil did not aggravate the rash?
    (A) These were improperly combined, you see. They should be applied more to the radial axes, or those portions from which these conditions arise.
11. (Q) How many capsules of liver extract at one time?
    (A) As we find, the Valentine's Liver Extract would be the more preferable; and it would not be in too great a quantity, but half to a teaspoonful would be taken once or twice a day.
12. (Q) Would "Incretone," a gland preparation (put up by R. W. Carnrick) be well for this body?
    (A) These properties taken as we have given in the Tonicine, with the liver extract - and especially the Valentine's, would be much preferable to Incretone - which would be more active to the adrenal glands, which are ALREADY too active.
13. (Q) Any other advice for this body?
    (A) Be the most mindful of the diet. This is the cause for more of the disturbing factors in the system in the present than others.
14. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. See 480-14 on 2/09/35 and subsequent Reports.
2. 3/02/35 She wired questions.

REPORTS

1. 3/13/35 Mother [601]'s ltr.: "[480] is following the diet as outlined, eliminating butter and cream, as these were the only fats she had been taking. The rash and itching has lessened some, but the skin on her legs is dry and leathery. She is taking the Tonicine and Valentine's Liver Extract as indicated and also the Diathermy once a week. The week before the period are the days that [480] feels the worst, irritable, nervous, finds it difficult to concentrate and in general below par. I am praying the warmer weather will help her back to normal."
2. 3/23/35 "[480] has been better but came down with a bad head cold this past week, the first she has had in a year, and am hoping she will get over it soon... Her spring vacation begins April 5th to 15th."
3. 3/26/35 "[480]'s cold is better, but she is becoming more and more discouraged about her condition. This cloudiness or haziness over her mind or brain prevents her from concentrating on her work and has never been relieved or lifted for a moment during these past two yrs. It is over a yr. since you gave us her first rdg. [480-3] and since last June she has been carrying out all the advice as was possible to understand. Since her last 2-3 rdgs. she has followed the diet outlined and other suggestions to the letter. She has completely eliminated butter and cream from her diet. Whether this is essential I do not know, but she has been losing weight, is very nervous and can only say that Mr. [619] and I are greatly concerned and alarmed about her. This condition she suffers from is NOT dizziness, but the headaches and nervousness are the result of trying to function and break through this cloud. I know you are busy and trying to help others, but surely Mr. Cayce there must be some means to help this child of ours? Perhaps the Information could suggest someone who could help her. Please do not consider me hysterical, as only God knows how patient I can be and have been, but two years is a long time in a young person's life to spend under a cloud with no improvement in sight."
4. 3/30/35 See 480-16.
