TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [667]; this we have had before.
2. As we find, there are a great many changes in the physical forces of the body since last we had same here.
3. Most of these as we find are for the betterment of the general physical forces.
4. There are other disturbances, though, that with the changes coming about cause anxiety and disturbance for this body.
5. These as we find have to do with the position of the stomach and those disturbances with the pelvic organs having to do with the Periods and the gestation [GD's note: We did not understand at the time that this meant "pregnancy".] which is produced there in the present.
6. Thus we find disturbances at times caused in the digestive reactions; the pains which occur in the upper portion of the body - produced by the strain upon the system.
7. As we find, there needs to be rather the applications or treatments by a gynecologist that would correct the position of the womb; thus preventing the pressures and disturbances with the activities of the system at the time of the Periods.
8. Also the use of a stomach brace or belt will be required, that will hold the position and - with the general activities - bring about less of these pressures; bringing the normal forces of and for the body.
9. These then we would do.
10. Have the gynecologist to give first the CORRECTIONS by the POSITION of the womb; and with the packing that would be used in same, the antiseptic reaction would tend to make for a disgorging of the conditions in the tubes as well as the ovaries in the right side; and these would bring about the NORMAL forces in these directions.
11. Ready for questions.
12. (Q) Who would be the proper person in Norfolk to so treat the body?
    (A) Any good gynecologist.
13. (Q) What about Dr. Andrews? [C. J. Andrews, M.D.]
    (A) Very well.
14. (Q) Pain in right side - what causes it?
    (A) As indicated, the reflex conditions from the pressures upon the tube to the ovaries in the right side.
    Then the position of the stomach MAKES for the pressure upon those areas.
15. (Q) Is the stomach swollen?
    (A) Rather out of position.
16. (Q) What causes the burning at times between the shoulder blades?
    (A) The pulling on the system from the position of the stomach, as combined with the disturbance in the pelvic system.
17. (Q) Is it harmful for this body for the menstruation periods to stop?
    (A) It's harmful for ANYONE for there not to be the normal activities of the system!
    Hence those suggestions that there be the correction of the position, as to allow the system to drain properly, and to make the correct position of the organs; thus relieving the pressure.
18. (Q) Is the womb twisted?
    (A) Rather it's pulled to the side.
19. (Q) What produced these conditions?
    (A) A strain and stress, and the general debilitation that has been combined with the conditions in gestation.
    Do these and we would bring the better conditions for this body.
20. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

REPORTS

1. 2/16/38 GD's note to Mrs. [489], sponsor: Girl 23 years old, cousin of little crippled girl [409] (charity case) we had at the Cayce Hospital who was cured through following Reading suggestions when she had formerly been given no hope of ever walking again. THIS girl has been terribly rundown, following a tragic marriage when in her teens. For the past 5 months she has not menstruated, and her stomach is all out of position - makes her look like she had an enormous tumor. Otherwise she's a very pretty, attractive girl. Her stomach has only gotten this way since Christmas. We've sent her to a well-known gynecologist in Norfolk. Will let you hear further.
2. She could only afford to pay $5 for her Check Reading.
3. Verbal report, 2/19/38: Went to Dr. C. J. Andrews, recommended by Dr. Richardson. Dr. A. laughed at the Rdg., said she was 6 mo. pregnant. Advised the only sure way to find out was to get X-Ray, tho he was positive that was the trouble. So she decided to come down and ask Mr. Cayce whether she should get the X-Ray - which is $15, and Dr. A. has already chg'd $10 just for telling her that which she KNOWS can't be true. We advised her to get the X-Ray, and bring it to Mr. Cayce to read first - before going to Dr. A. again.
4. March 1938 - verbal report by Mrs. [1446]: "[667]'s mother has taken her to Ocean View. She is going to have a baby."
5. 8/02/38 Verbal report by Mrs. [1446]: "[667] has lovely baby boy, perhaps two months old now. [667] is badly broken, though; had to stay in hospital three weeks; all torn to pieces from the birth of the baby."
6. 8/02/38 Mrs. [1446] obtained Physical Rdg. for her own niece, Miss [1652], who also was referred in the rdg. to Dr. C. J. Andrews.
7. 7/11/39 See 667-12.
8. Subsequent rdgs. used her new married name.
