6/28/37 Wife [
2470]'s report to be read at A.R.E. 6th Annual
Congress:
Norfolk, Va.
In June of 1935, Mr. [
556] was taken, violently ill. He went
for a walk, in the evening and was brought home by a friend.
He was suffering severe pain in the head, and vomited
quantities of blood. The next day, I called an Osteopath
and a physician to try to determine the cause of the
condition. The physician believed it was either a sinus or
perhaps an abscessed tooth, and advised consulting his
dentist. I 'phoned our dentist and he came, and stated the
condition was not from his teeth. By this time, he was
suffering excruciating pain, and his head and face were
swelling. The dentist advised my calling a Specialist.
Mr. [
556] protested against such a procedure, and begged
on me to allow no one to touch his head or mouth. I sat
a moment in deliberation, and I thought "What shall I do?",
it was then, Mr. Cayce came to my mind. I called on the
'phone, and Miss Gladys answered. I said, "Mr. [
556] is
seriously ill, ask Mr. Cayce if he will give a Reading.
I want to know one thing, Where is the source of
infection." I gave no description of his condition, nor
any of the symptoms. I asked only the question, "Where is
the center of infection?" This question was prompted, by the
established fact, the doctors did not know what was causing
the illness. Miss Davis said, "I will call you back in a
couple of hours", which she did. She answered by saying, "We
find the center of the infection is in the duodenum the
passage being entirely closed, and this condition may cause
swelling of the forehead and face, and if you will look you
will find a swelling in the side at the location of the
duodenum," which I did find. The first Reading described, in
detail, location of pain and cause of same, setting forth the
fact that the condition was serious, and to follow directions
explicitly and prayerfully, and to come in, at a stipulated
time for further instructions, and as I recall there was a
medicine to be given, or something to be done every 15
minutes day and night for a period of two days and nights.
The weather was, extremely, hot, and Hot - Packs, were to be
applied every 2 hours, with a rest of 2 hours, day and night.
Many medicines were to be gotten and compounded, all of which
I did myself, with the aid of friends whom I believed
understood the treatment, to remain with him during my brief
absences. All solid food was eliminated for a period of
between 14 and 21 days. As I recall, it seems, the period of
drastic treatment lasted about 7 weeks. During which time I
kept constant and prayerful vigil over him. The services of
2 trained nurses were at our disposal, but I feared they did
not understand the source of information, and preferred to
perform this duty myself, acknowledging, also, the kind
assistance of friends who were in the study of Research
& Enlightenment.
The second Reading stated, that very slight change for
recovery was noted, and urged, still, the careful following
of all instructions. I seem to recall that the 3rd Reading
spoke of decided improvement, and I am sure at this time, we
had noted great improvement. This, I think, was a period of
about 2 weeks. Osteopathic treatment were, also, prescribed,
and directions for the Osteopath were given, and followed by
him, in detail. I think during the course of the treatment,
11 Readings were given, covering a period of 3 successive
months, and including 2 or 3 to check up over this 2-year
period.
At this writing, just about 2 years have expired, and I
believe, I can safely say, Mr. [
556] is, his normal self,
and I am very sure, he would not be living today had it
not have been for the information given in the Readings,
through the prompt and consistent assistance of Mr. Cayce,
and his family, plus the prayers of the Glad Helpers, and
others who know the value of prayer, along with the
treatment of disease. Thus the inscription is written over
the White Cross Hospital, in London - "The surgeon wields the
knife - God heals the wound." Nothing can be accomplished
in this world, nor in the world to come without the aid of
prayer. It gives both, Prof. [
556] and myself great joy to
give this testimony in behalf of Mr. Cayce, and his work,
and we pray God's blessings, ever, be upon him.
Sincerely, Mrs. [
2470]
10/04/50 Letter to GD from A.R.E. member, C. Donald Lee:
"In August, I met a Dr. Slade Wyatt Phillips, who practices
naturopathy in Dillon, South Carolina. He told me he was
once practicing in the Norfolk area and that one day a
patient, suffering from a very bad sinus infection asked him
to follow a Reading that was given by a man named Cayce from
Virginia Beach. He said the infection was very bad and that
it was draining through the outside. He had no objection to
following the Reading, and a cure was effected.
"He stated that, 'Mr. Cayce definitely had a gift.'
"I'm planning to visit him soon and see if he can help my
hip and leg. I left a copy of TIR with him and he invited
me to come spend the week-end with him.
"There was company present and we did not talk much. On
the wall of his office, there is a little plaque which
states, 'Dear Lord, please teach me when to keep my big
mouth shut.'
"Do you remember him?"
GD's note: Dr. Phillips was probably an assistant of Dr.
Carl S. Frishkorn at the time Mr. [
556] went to him for
treatment.
