TEXT

GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
EC: Yes, we have the body here; this we have had before.
Many changes have taken place in this body since last we had same here. Many are the result of determined activity of mind, as controlling influences in the mental and spiritual activities of the body. And some of these have kept pace. Others, as we find, continue to allow toxic forces to interfere.
But ready for questions.
(Q) What causes excess temperature and what should be done for it?
(A) This arises from the creating of the poisons in the system by toxic conditions, which tends to make a form of malarial reaction in liver and blood stream.
As to that to be accomplished, and how, - this we will give as a combination to meet all of the conditions.
(Q) Phlegm in throat and chest?
(A) Slowed circulation, from lack of energy in body, produced partially by temperature and the lack of ability of the lymph to carry same off in regular channels.
(Q) Nausea?
(A) This is an accumulation through the activities of the body and lack of proper assimilation in the system.
(Q) Seeming obstruction in intestines?
(A) Lack of sufficient lymph flow and the slowing of the general persistaltic movement, which arises either from inactivity or from temperature using up the lymph and emunctory forces; thus making less leucocyte activity in same as a motivative force through general activity in the intestinal system.
(Q) Sensation of pinching in scar left by incision on my abdomen?
(A) The effect of the lack of lymph or the water blood supply, calling for activity and thus producing a drawing or the stitching, or pinching in these areas where excess of same has been necessary for resuscitating and building up body tissue. This should be indicated by the very first cause or principle as given.
(Q) Rash and itching on my back and head?
(A) Poor eliminations and the attempt of the perspiratory system to eliminate those conditions as should be carried through the regular alimentary canal AND through other portions of the body.
(Q) Burning sensation in stomach at night or when I stoop over?
(A) This the same as the clogging or arising from those same conditions in a general way and manner, see?
(Q) Eyes to itch and water?
(A) This is the cutting off of the circulation in those areas reflecting to the sensory organism, and is a part of the general condition. And the general physical health improved, as may be indicated, may relieve many or all of these conditions.
(Q) Should I have my glasses changed and by whom?
(A) Not until there has been a complete course, at least, of those things as may be indicated here as helpful and beneficial for this body.
(Q) Pain in head and shoulder?
(A) Reflex from partially a neuritic reaction or toxic force, as combined with the malarial effect - or a humor in the blood by slowed circulation.
(Q) Bump or large pimple on left cheek?
(A) Same conditions.
(Q) Chilly feelings?
(A) These arise naturally from overtemperature of the body.
(Q) Should I eat whole wheat bread? Please outline diet.
(A) In making administrations, as we find for this body, these would be well:
All of the conditions that have been indicated should be taken into consideration, and there may be seen - by analyzing same - as to how EACH phase of the disturbances is included here in the applications as would be most beneficial.
First we would begin by taking at least a full bottle of Grove's Chill tonic, as a tonic - but take this twice a day. After this has been taken, have a good evacuation - using the colon irrigation, see?
Then rest a day, and then begin and take until at least four or five more days of the doses are taken. Then have another good irrigation.
After the first irrigation, begin with a Peanut Oil rub each evening - when ready to retire - especially along the spine and over the whole of the abdominal area.
DO take ALL foods in which there are the re-inforced or large quantities of vitamins A, D, and B-1. This, of course, includes whole wheat bread, especially if such bread is made of cracked wheat OR re-inforced flour.
Do these and as we find we may make for the better conditions with this body.
We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

See 851-3 on 9/25/36 and subsequent Reports.

REPORTS

12/12/41 EC's ltr. to [851]:
Dear Mr. Cayce:
Thank you so much for my reading, also the nice note, under separate cover. Both came this afternoon. I was delighted to know from the reading that so much can be done for my condition - and really with so little effort, on my part. Since those Castor Oil packs that you advised me to use several years ago, have always helped me, whenever I used, even, one of them, I think I will use a few of them again. I feel sure the packs will help the liver condition along with the other things advised.
12/18/41 "Please tell me what foods contain vitamins A, D, & B-1 besides those contained in whole wheat bread - which would be best for me."
12/24/41 EC's ltr. to [851]:
Dear Mrs. [851];-
Have yours of the 18th. Glad to help any way we can. These are the reports as we have them from our information; - for A and D it often recommends that one take One a Day brand of Vitamin tablets - you take just one pellet a day of these, it also suggests that as B-1 is not stored as many others are that these be taken in foods especially as they are more easily assimilated, and one gets more of the active foods value.
Sources of A - are Whole Milk, Butter, Fresh Cheese, Egg Yolk, Codliver Oil, Green leafy vegetables, (cooked and raw) Yellow Corn (yellow meal also), Yellow Sweet potatoes, Spinach, Green Beans, Peas, Fully Ripe Bananas, Fish. These are also sources of D. Turnips, Carrots, Lettuce, Raw Ripe fruits of all kinds.
B-1 - Eggs and all yellow fruit and vegetables of every kind - whole grain cereal of every kind.
As many of these may not agree with you there is usually enough for you to select from to make out fine. Hope this helps along and that you are soon feeling just fine.
Hoping every good wish for you at Christmas, asking to be remembered to Miss [678], and the [264]-[853]'s when you see them.
And may the New Year bring you joy and happiness.
Sincerely, Edgar Cayce
11/21/43 Letter from Mrs. [264] to EC: "...Mother [851] and [678] are all right."
1/27/44 Letter from Mrs. [264] to EC: "...Mother [851] has been in with a cold for over four weeks. Have been nursing her and helping fix her meals. I did not stay in bed. [678] had more than she could do. I was exhausted when I reached here. Nursing Mother would not have hurt me - it was so much less than what I had been doing for months (I was in [N.C.] exactly 7 months. Isn't that interesting?) but Mother's attitude is negative - out of harmony with the world, and everybody and everything in it. Poor dear, there is so little coordination in her body or organs - it is a struggle for her to live. She [851] is eighty-one and is mad about that. I tried reasoning with her, but she fought me down, so now I just pray and try to 'see her as God sees her'. She has improved on that, too..."
8/07/44 Mrs. [264]'s note: "Mother [851] has just returned from my brother [843]'s."
7/53 Report by Mrs. [264]: "Mother died 8/31/52 [at age 90] with gall bladder trouble. She was perfectly active and well until the night before. She attributed her active life and good health to following Edgar Cayce's readings."
