Time and Place: 11:10 to 11:20 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., N.Y.

TEXT

GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions which have been submitted, as I ask them:
EC: Yes, we have the body, [494].
As we find, there is not quite so much strength or resistance forces in the body, even as when last we had same here.
We would keep the correct manipulations; which are being VERY well given, though there SHOULD be somewhat more of a stimulation for the drainages through the alimentary canal, - or a greater stimuli to aid the stomach AND the duodenum in emptying themselves - through the very lack of activity.
While the activity should not be excessive, there should be sufficient exercise to aid in better peristaltic movement through the alimentary canal; and thus relieve those tendencies for the absorption of poisons as should be eliminated, that cause an irritation to the cuticle, that produces irritations to the body - through the attempting to eliminate in this manner.
Hence the occasional use of the colonic irrigations would be MOST benefical; also the local application of the compound called Prescription D.D.D., applied two or three times a day over those areas that cause such disturbance by the itching. For this condition we find that the liquid would be preferable to the cream.
It would be well for there to be kept a somewhat better balance in the salts of the vegetables and fruits, which should form the greater portion of the diet. Of course, if there is the desire for fish, fowl or lamb, these may be taken; but only the natural sweets should be taken, as honey, - and the sweets FROM fruits; and vegetables that are PREFERABLY cooked in their OWN juices.
These adhered to will make for the better conditions with this body.
Ready for questions.
(Q) How often should osteopathic treatments be given?
(A) As has been indicated, and has been kept now for some time. At times twice a week; at others they may be a little farther apart.
(Q) Has the abdominal and vaginal support anything to do with the rash on the body?
(A) No; this is a very good vaginal and abdominal support. This should be kept eased at times, of course, when not in activity.
(Q) Should body do exercises?
(A) As has been indicated, there should be sufficient of these to insure a better peristaltic movement.
(Q) Which ones would be best?
(A) Walking is the best of all! or those that use much of the torso in movements.
(Q) Would fume baths help the body?
(A) Just at the present these would be rather irritating than helpful.
We are through with this Reading.

6/18/39 Daughter-in-law, Mrs. [457]'s letter to GD:
"Could you possibly arrange immediately for a check physical for my mother-in-law? I have been wanting to write you for some time but I knew you would be busy with the congress and I have been busy too.
"However the point is that it seems necessary to operate on her in order to sew up the prolapsed organs. I want to make sure that we are doing the right thing, and that she is in a condition to stand it.
"She wants to have the operation arranged this coming week so would appreciate a reading just as soon as you get this letter if at all possible. Wire me collect if you can arrange it. At the office.
1) Is operation advisable to bring organs in more normal position? If so:
2) Is the Lenox Hill hospital satisfactory for this purpose?
3) Can body's heart stand the operation? (Anything we should do to strengthen it?) If they give her digitalis will that do any harm? 4) Should osteopathic treatment be given before operation?
5) Has body carried out instructions of last reading satisfactorily?
6) If not where has body failed?
7) Why is it that every time body puts on vaginal support held with rubber straps inflammation is caused?
8) Why is it that when body first wore this support she had no trouble?
9) Is there anything body can do to relieve hay fever? Adjustments? Inhalants?
10) Is there anything body can do for the tired-out feeling? What do you call that lassitude? exhaustion?
11) After operation would body be better able to walk? Should any other exercise be taken?
The point is that in the last reading Cayce told her to walk. But she couldn't very well in her condition because she couldn't stand wearing that support. Even after the inflammation disappeared which she had last time she couldn't wear the support. She did apply the treatment of D.D.D. and the skin condition improved. But every time she put on the support the inflammation would return. The funny part of it is that when she first got it she was perfectly comfortable with it. So much so that she thought things were more in normal position and left off the support. When she wanted to start wearing it again the trouble started. Now the inflammation is gone but things just aren't right, I mean all the organs have fallen it seems.
