(Q) Should compound be continued?
(A) Rather occasionally, as indicated, so as to keep those
activities in the system until the body adjusts itself in
such a manner that the assimilating forces tend to create
that necessary for meeting the activities necessary for
replenishing the body.
The variations here, as may be well to note, are:
In those activities that have been given, we find we are
adding elements that are as incentives for the SYSTEM to
create that within the body itself. While oft we find in
the administration of medicinal properties, whether they
be of the mineral or vegetable forces, if those things
administered are habit-forming, or if they are those things
that tend to take the place OF the activities of organs in
the system, they eventually prove to be detrimental. For
the body builds with that which is supplied it THROUGH the
assimilating system.
Hence in the administration of factors that may be beneficial
to a body, as to this body, [
1014]:
The ministrations in the compound are those elements
necessary to supply DEFICIENCIES, but are not of those
natures that will require an excess quantity to keep the
activities of the body in order for those deficiencies to be
carried on in the system - but may ENABLE the body to
produce these elements themselves.
Hence, as indicated, rather than this compound being taken
as regularly, these properties would be taken about half as
often, or about half the quantity. Thus we will find the
body would conform in its function and in its activity to
meet the necessary conditions.
(Q) How often would you suggest the massage now, if that
is necessary?
(A) Once a week, or twice in one week and then skip two
weeks, see?
(Q) Any change advised in diet?
(A) As indicated, keep rather to those things that are
tending for alkalinity in the system. Not an excess; not
that there should be NONE of the starches or hydrochlorics
or the proteins taken in order for the body fuels and the
body activities. But do not make combinations in the foods
in such manners as that they work one with another, or
against another. Not an excess of starches at the times
quantities of sweets are taken. Not an excess of starch
when citrus fruits are taken or these things that are of
an acid nature but are alkaline in reaction; for these tend
to make for combinations that work at variance. But keep
that which is body-building, tending towards keeping the
alkalinity.
(Q) What causes the burning and blood-shot appearance in
eyes? What remedy?
(A) The massages that are given, if they are made so as to
correct those conditions in the upper dorsals and through
the cervical areas, should be such as to eliminate these.
These are those tendencies, that have been first indicated
in the body, where the weakness occurs that causes a great
amount of the lymph flow. This is an excess of pressure in
the area that tends to prevent the circulation from carrying
away used forces in the system. But if the drainages are
set up in the upper dorsal and through the cervical area,
when the massages or manipulations are given, these would
gradually disappear.
Well, for the local application, that these be bathed at
times, or just before retiring, with a little saline
solution; about a pinch of salt (between the fingers, you
see) to an ounce of water. Dissolve the salt preferably
in warm water; stir well, and then put in an eye cup. This
is the better manner to make for the cleansing of same, and
this - of course - with the eye open.
(Q) What causes and what may be done for the headaches?
(A) These are rather much from the diets. These are from
those tendencies for the wrong combinations in the digestive
forces, and the irritations that arise from anxieties to the
nervous systems after same.
When these occur, as we find, a little soda water will
relieve these disturbances. Not quantities, for then it
would become the very thing that would be injurious - if
taken too much. But about three grains of soda in half
a glass of water.
(Q) Should any other treatments be followed now?
(A) The whole general treatment that has been indicated,
occasionally, to keep the body in those tendencies for its
building resistances within itself.
It is ON the road to recuperative forces and to building
resistances. KEEP it in that way and manner.
(Q) Any further advice?
(A) Do that.

BACKGROUND
See
1014-1 on
10/04/35.
Report: Much better; gained six pounds; able to sleep at
night; better appetite.
REPORTS
7/22/40 Mr. [
1014] reported that his first reading,
1014-1
certainly described his condition accurately - the loss of
appetite, loss of weight, tiredness, etc. He had gotten
wonderful results from following the treatments recommended;
felt like a different person after 3 months.
8/05/64 Wife, [
1079] reported, via sister-in-law, Mrs. [
413]
that [
1014] recently had been not well at all - especially
in the spring and early summer; he told her he thought he
would go to Johns Hopkins and get a check up; he just didn't
feel like going on living. She asked him if he would follow
his original reading from Mr. Cayce if she got it out and
prepared the things for him. He agreed that he would, since
he had some of the same symptoms - loss of weight, appetite,
lack of zest, etc. She got the compound prepared and started
him on it, fixed his meals exactly as recommended, etc., etc.
Now, after
3-4 weeks of the treatment he feels like a
different person; looks and feels much better, is gaining
in weight, eats his meals with interest and has much more
vitality, etc., etc.
9/11/74 Mr. [
1014] died in a hospital, leaving his wife,
a daughter, three sisters, one brother, two grandchildren
and a great grandchild as survivors.
