TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1058].
2. Now, as we find, the basic disturbances (that are acute at present) arise from very insidious or very hidden conditions, and are in their inception of a prenatal nature; these arising from infectious forces from inception.
3. In meeting the conditions in the present, all of these should be taken into consideration. For while we find in the present a glandular infection, in the throat, in portions of the face, not only causing a great deal of distress but of contraction, it would eventually - though not in the immediate - prove to become more and more of a destructive nature.
4. Hence in giving that as would be of a helpful influence, those that will be of more of a basic reaction, though requiring somewhat of a longer period these must be of that nature to give any permanent or lasting results in the physical forces in the present.
5. The blood supply indicates the disturbances in the glands, in the manner in which infectious forces or the condition of the thinning of the leucocytes, in the breaking of the cells in the red blood cells themselves; the sparseness at times of glandular secretions. And from the genital reactory forces through this sparseness of its elimination and activity, inflammatory conditions find expressions in those disturbances that are indicated in the chest, the neck, the throat and the glands of same.
6. In the nervous forces naturally these produce a reaction that is both of a sympathetic nature and what may be said to be static also in the central nervous system, producing twitching, itching reactions that become of various natures in their activities through the system.
7. In the organs themselves of the body, in the very nature of the conditions we have weakenings at times, but as these are of such an insidious or hidden nature and affecting the glands that only sympathetically or periodically or both coordinate with the main portions of the organs themselves, these do not disturb save when inflammatory conditions that exist in the present become disturbing factors.
8. At such times we have the inflammation of the mucous membranes throughout the assimilating and digestive system.
9. As we would find then, to eradicate these disturbances:
10. Begin at first with small quantities of Atomidine; one minim (drop) night and morning; morning before a meal is taken, evenings before retiring; one drop or one minim in half a glass of water. Each day increase two drops, or in this manner: First day one drop, morning and evening. Second day the dose would be three drops. The third day it would be four drops (twice a day, you see). The next day only five drops, morning and evening, see?
11. Then leave off for a day. And in THAT evening take an Epsom Salts Bath, as hot as the body can stand. Put at least TEN POUNDS of Epsom Salts to forty gallons of water. This should not be too hot when the body first enters same; a little above the temperature of the body. As the body rests in same, gradually add the warmer water. Remain in same for at least thirty minutes to an hour. This will weaken the body somewhat. When the body is sponged off, do not apply RUB alcohol but equal portions of pure GRAIN alcohol and olive oil. Shake them together. Massage them thoroughly into the body from the upper portion of the neck to the tips of the toes; from the shoulders to the tips of the fingers, that the body may absorb these, to produce that reaction of stimulation. THEN rest from this for two days.
12. Then begin with small amounts of Chloride of Gold Solution and Bromide of Soda Solution. Prepare these in this manner, or in this proportion - and keep separated until the dosage is to be taken:
13. Add 15 grains of Chloride of Gold to 15 ounces of Distilled Water, or that proportion. This would be the one solution.
14. Add 10 grains Bromide of Soda to 5 ounces of Distilled Water, or that proportion.
15. Keep them separate.
16. When the dose is to be taken, it would be one minim (drop) of the Chloride of Gold solution and two minims (drops) of the Bromide of Soda solution in half a glass of water. This dosage would be taken night and morning. Increase the dose ONE minim of the Gold solution and two minims of the Soda solution each day, until five minims is being taken of the Gold solution. Then leave off for a five-day period.
17. Then begin with the Atomidine again, taken as indicated. If it is necessary that there be the use of the Epsom Salts Bath after same, or the inflammation hasn't been reduced, take this again in the same manner.
18. Then we would give further instructions.
19. These as we find will act upon the glands, with first the Atomidine to cleanse the activity of the glands through the system. The hot Epsom Salts in the bath would be to carry same through the minutia or tissue and the lymph and emunctory circulation by the heat. The stimulation of the olive oil and the grain alcohol is to give strength and vitality. The Gold is to make for the reactory conditions to the glandular forces, especially as related to the reproductive actions and the thyroid, the adrenal, and ALL the glands of the body should be aided.
20. Then we will find help in these directions.
21. In the diet, not too heavy. None of those foods that carry alcohol or that produce too great quantities of same. Hence not too much of the white breads, especially with sweets. Meats with sweets; only those meats, however, of fowl or lamb - occasionally fish. No FRIED foods at any time. Keep a well-balance between the leafy and the pod vegetables. Not but very little of potatoes, though these may be taken if the jacket is taken with them.
22. Do these for the present.
23. Ready for questions.
24. We are through for the present.

REPORTS

1. 6/24/36 "To say 'Thank you' to one who has given you new hope is surely not enough! I was very happy indeed to get my reading...the diagnosis of my condition and the constructive plan of treatment indicated is truly most remarkable. How very consoling it is to know that there will be no tenth operation. And the fact that I have a chance to get well and stay that way makes life a whole lot rosier...
   "Am pleased to report that I feel much better now. The jaw muscles feel no longer tense, my earache is gone, but my chief physical difficulty now is exhaustion and the necessity to continue working.
   "I shall continue to follow the treatment 'as given,' keeping you posted as to my progress."
2. 6/25/36 Her friend Miss [954]'s letter to EC [After reporting on her own problems, etc.]:
   Now to more inspirational things... The late experience with my little "protegee" [...] was filled with blessings, thanks to you and your teachings. That illness was an added shock to me...at this time. I'm that ultra sympathetic type you know. ...If [1058] has an earache, I have one too! Laugh at me, will you? But it's true. I have watched her through three operations on that dear neck and face of hers. The face puffs out... O I'd say perhaps four inches on the bad side. This time it had not gotten to such an acute stage when she called me. I went up late at night...the jaw very tight...but still working. She ASKED me to send the wire to you: I did not coax her to incur any expense, for I felt she must decide. But she said: "I want that reading even if this spell DOES pass over... When will there be another Mr. Cayce to read this thing?" So bravely she went at it...no doctor (we are so tired of the slashing)...just us...and within a day or two we found we had Somebody else with us too...
   I came home long after midnight and did something I have seldom done since I was an adolescent. I got on my knees and prayed. I asked that she be relieved of this...that it be a warning to her only. I asked if I might share it (although that is so silly). I was so heartstricken with the child's need...the hard working child who has had little except sorrow and burdens in all her small lifetime. I got up comforted and lay down to sleep. And in the morning, [1058]'s jaw had loosened a little...and she had less pain.
   Then came your offer of the reading time. And we sat together in silence through the reading...her roommate with us. It was a lovely quiet time. I could not have dreamed of such a time with anyone on earth a year ago. I shall write of my version of the reading results on another sheet of paper so that it may be filed with [1058]'s reading without Gladys having to do more typing.
   I tell you all this because I know you will understand it and will appreciate hearing it. In a way, you see, you have taught me a little of how to heal, too. For healing is truly not physical entirely. I see it more and more. I was able to leave in the child's room a belief that this awful thing would pass from her...simply out of holding tight to what little faith I have found. We have to work at this thing, don't we? It is no mere matter of seeing a Light and being set for all time...
3. 6/25/36 Report from her friend [954]:
   This reading [1058-2] appears to me to be one of the most helpful I have yet experienced. [1058]'s glandular case is only one of many of the same type. She has been in the clinics of almost every hospital in town. The last time that operative procedure was given (nine in all), was at Medical Center where doctors with the best intentions in the world did as ugly a job of slashing as I ever saw. Surgeons are always sure they can open this thing from the INSIDE after its acute stage is reached. But they never are successful. The smartest man who operated was a Dr. Fulk head of the glandular department at Flower Hospital. He knew the immediate spot from which drainage could be established without too much cutting.
   HOWEVER...not a single program of care of any kind was ever given this child in all her experience with the clinics. It was just wait until the swelling reached an acute stage... then slash. Good-bye, my dear girl, until next time. Oh yes, they knew there was going to be a next time, all right.
   My own guess was that [1058] had a tubercular gland or a whole set of them for at one period in her childhood she was in a preventorium. I also knew she was very poorly fed during her entire childhood and adolescence and blamed the illness partly on that.
   This Cayce reading proves I was wrong. How clearly this reading shows that the glandular deficiency is prenatal. And since I know her Mother and notice peculiar lack of physical and mental coordination in her actions, this is SO understandable. Here we have a program of treatment which will evidently, according to my understanding, first cleanse the blood stream and then apparently rebuild it through the chloride of gold and other agencies. The breakdown in the blood is so important...one can even see that a normal condition does not obtain from the girl's appearance, extremely white ears and glasslike pallor. This analysis also tends to explain the terrible periods of complete exhaustion which she suffers despite the fact that her job is not much more hard than many other working girls have.
   It is my great wish at this time that a specialist might watch progress on this case because of the remarkable indications of preventive possibilities for others with similar afflictions. And anybody who has ever seen slash after slash taken in the side or a neck or face knows how great such an affliction is.
4. 7/17/36 Miss [1058]'s letter: "I know you will be pleased to learn that the patient is coming along quite famously - thanks to you! and that now I am all set for further instructions, since the inflammation has disappeared! I would appreciate having further information just as soon as you can possibly arrange to give it to me...there are several questions I should like to ask... I have been told previously that my blood pressure is below normal. Do you still find that this condition prevails? If so, how can it be remedied? I haven't seen a single doctor since the beginning of this last siege, and nothing can shake my faith in you and your good work."
