TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here - this we have had before, [539].
2. Now, as we find, there has been considerable change in the physical forces of the body since last we had same. As given, and as understood by the body, most of those conditions that disturb the physical functioning are understood as to the causes of same.
3. The indications of the trembly feeling that occurs over the system, from those distresses from pressures that are produced in the circulations, these would be materially aided, as we find, were there taken those properties that have been outlined for loosening oxygen in the system for the clarifying of the blood stream. [Animated Ash. Dr. [539] was already familiar with this, for it had been given in rdg. for one of his patients.] These we would not take oftener than three times each week, but after each dose of one-eighth grain has been taken (in water, or loose on tongue and washed down), thirty minutes afterward, we would apply the ultra- violet ray; or the heavy light that is used by the body in stimulating the circulation to the exterior portions of the body. This we would apply for twenty to thirty minutes; or the ultra-violet, thirty-eight inches from the body, for three to five minutes; or the sun light, which is the ordinary carbon or the ordinary light from the filament lamp, for twenty minutes - at least thirty-two inches from the body. This aids in loosening for the circulation, through the pulmonaries, the carbon that has its activity upon the life forces of the body, by the resistance that is set up in the whole system through the activity of external electric forces upon the body life forces. This will stimulate the body to better activity, and decrease that tendency for numbness that occurs at times; will aid in relieving those pressures, where there has been the tendency for the accumulations of poisons in system.
4. Do that. Then we will find that a little later, from fifteen to twenty days, it would be well were there some dosage of Atomidine taken as a stimuli for gland circulation. This we would take ten drops each week for three to five weeks.
5. The diet, the rest of the applications that are known as necessary for the stimulations in the activities, both for the mental and the spiritual manifestations, keep. Know the body is that through which the mental and spiritual must manifest in its relationships to the material conditions about self, whether for self or in its applications to those the body would aid. Keep that attitude of meeting conditions as they arise, knowing that there is sufficient of those life forces that are available to one that desires to use them in His service; for from Him, of Him, we come; TO Him, of Him, we go.
6. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. See 539-1 on 5/03/32.
2. 10/07/32 "Might you get some data for myself in the physical? You remember you tried it once and we were given the compliment of being told of knowing all or at least sufficient about it. I am not asking from a critical standpoint at all. I have been using some indicated measures but feel that I am not on the right track."

REPORTS

1. 10/27/32 He reported on his Life Rdg., 539-2, saying: "I have found your help through the physical readings very valuable indeed."
2. 1/04/33 Dr. [539]'s letter:
   I have been following your advice in regards for myself. I also recall that you spoke of some other medicine which you named Atomidine. I must be very wicked and not aware of it, judging from the fruits that are coming my way. I know that I have your friendly cooperation and that you gladly serve me for another reading, that should bring to light directions for me. I don't want to be a quitter but somehow things seem difficult. Maybe you will understand.
3. 1/04/33 Dr. [539]'s son [...]'s letter:
   My dear Mr. Cayce:
   I know not just how to start this letter and to tell you what I should wish if I could talk to you personally. It is in regards to my father, Dr. [539]. He no doubt has at some time mentioned to you that he not feeling as well as he should. Daddy is a very sick man, and we naturally are all worried about him. Altho he doesn't say much, he also is worried. This morning he said he wanted to talk to me, and he went on to try to explain his insurance policies. I feel that by this time you have a very accurate picture of my father, and therefore can understand why I am frightened by his speaking of his insurance. He has mentioned several times in the last months, "I do not know how this all will end."
   About a year ago, Daddy mentioned that his hands felt a little numb. Since that time he has been feeling worse and worse. Now not only his hands are numb, but his feet and limbs as well. I have to button his clothes every morning for him. He tries but doesn't seem to make much headway. He has great difficulty in keeping his balance because of the stiffness of his legs. He also complains of his hands and legs feeling cold. Naturally this has to do with his circulation.
   Daddy is quite a large man, weighing now 220 pounds. He realizes that he is too heavy, but on the other hand, does not wish to reduce much because of the necessity of making blood. I know from what he says that it is a certain form of anemia, but as to the type he will not tell me. He has been taking Kofron tablets to build up his red blood cells. As a matter of fact, he has been trying practically everything to make him feel better.
   I do not know whether Daddy has ever told you [GD's note: No indication was ever given previously in any of Dr. [539]'s correspondence about trouble with his extremities as described in letter.], but almost three years ago, he was very sick at the hospitals with a streptococcic infection in his right leg. [See, however, his Life Rdg. 539-2 on 10/03/32, Par. 4 referring to astrological influences causing greater uneasiness and accidents to the extremities.] We are all very thankful to have Dad with us now, for at the time there was a very great danger of his passing on. He had gradually gained back his strength, and until a little more than a year ago felt well.
   Mr. Cayce, Dad does not know I am writing you this letter. He would not like it I'm sure, but perhaps you can see how I feel. We all love him so, and would do anything in hopes of some way to straighten things out.
   I don't think of anything else I can say to you Mr. Cayce, except that Daddy thinks the world of you, and at present he is very much discouraged, and I know that you can give him help.
   All I can say to you at present is thank you, and I am,
   Sincerely yours, [...], [Dr. [539]'s son]
4. 1/17/33 See 539-4.
