TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [1365].
2. Now, as we find, while conditions are serious, there may be a great deal of help - if there is the response to the applications as we find that may be made; and if these are done in a persistent and consistent way and manner.
3. There have been and are the effects of separation of forces that form into broken cellular tissue; producing tumor.
4. So the effects or the activities of these upon the nervous system, the locomotion and the whole of the general system, have been and are altered according to the conditions that cause or produce this breaking or separation.
5. Hence we find that there should be the application of that not only to aid in distributing the pressures and in relieving the activities of these pressures, but of that also in the system to go more to the basis or the cause of the condition; producing better coagulation, better and more effective coordination in eliminations; thus aiding the circulation to create a more perfect balance in the system.
6. As has been indicated through the description given here, the pressures in the locomotary areas, the effects upon the mucous membranes that cause a creating of a swelling in the extremities and the loss of activity in other portions, arise from those very disturbances that have been indicated.
7. Then, while we would make specific applications (as we will give) for the first thirty-six days, after these are begun then we would give the further instructions or the changes - according to the effectiveness of these in the system, and that which as we find may prove to be a rehabilitation of the activities.
8. Thus we should be able to prevent this accumulation again in portions of the brain forces or pressures there that hinder so much in not only the sensory forces but in the activities of the locomotions and in the effectual activity of the circulatory system.
9. First we would begin with the use of the low electrical vibrations of the Wet Cell Appliance carrying both the Nitrate of Silver and the Chloride of Gold solutions; one used one day, the other the next day. The applications would be made in this manner:
10. One day the smaller anode would be attached first, to the 2nd cervical center - or that close to the base of the brain, 1st and 2nd cervical center, see? while the larger plate, through which the 10% solution of Nitrate of Silver passes, would be attached last, to the 4th lumbar plexus - or the locomotary plexus, see? this just above or just at the axis of the sacral - applied for thirty minutes only, every other day.
11. The next day the smaller anode would be attached first, to the 9th dorsal center; while the larger plate through which the Chloride of Gold solution passes (3 grains to an ounce of distilled water; that proportion) would be attached last, to the umbilicus and lacteal duct center - and the attachments are to be kept for forty minutes, every other day.
12. Preferably give these in the evening when the body is ready to retire, one given one day, the other the next day.
13. The Nitrate of Silver solution will tend to eat or destroy the lead connection unless it is taken from the solution immediately when each application is finished, and it is wiped off. Then fifteen minutes before it is to be applied (which is every other day, as indicated), put into the solution and in the connection, in the jar carrying the solution, see?
14. Each evening following the Appliance treatment, give a general massage with a combination of oils that will not only be absorbed by the body but will aid in eliminating destructive forces to the muscular activities or to the superficial circulation.
15. When such a massage is given, let the body lie prone upon the face. Begin in the central portion, or the 9th dorsal area, and massage in a gentle and general circular motion along the cerebrospinal system towards the arms, you see; following out to the fingertips in both arms, from the point where the nerve forces direct to the arms; then from the base of the brain to where the connection has been toward the arms, see? Then begin at the 9th dorsal and go downward along each side of the cerebrospinal system, extending entirely to the feet, the lower limbs, the back side of the limbs especially but a circular motion with same. Take at least twenty to thirty minutes in giving such a treatment. If there is any superfluous portion of the combination of the oils left, these may be sponged off; but massage preferably just what the body will absorb - and then the bath given of a morning, rather than of an evening after the oil rubs. For such massaging, put together the oils in this manner:
16. To 4 ounces of Russian White Oil as the base, add - IN THE ORDER NAMED:

    Cedar Wood Oil.......................1 ounce,
Oil of Wintergreen.................1/2 ounce,
Oil of Pine Needles................1/2 ounce,
Sassafras Oil......................1/4 ounce,
Compound Tincture of Benzoin.........1 ounce.

    These will tend to separate, but shake together and - when ready to use - pour into an open container or saucer. Dip the fingers in same and massage as has been indicated.
17. It is very well also that this combination be massaged AROUND the body at the diaphragm, or the 9th dorsal center or area - which would include, of course, the area at which the Gold Solution is to be applied, or the attachment from same, at the 9th dorsal and the lacteal and umbilicus center, or just three fingers from the navel to the right, you see - where the plate is to be attached that passes through the Gold Solution.
18. At least three times a week take Alcaroid after the meals, that there may be a better assimilation.
19. Once or twice a week take the Caroid and Bile Salts Tablets for the activity of the liver.
20. Use enemas when there are not the proper eliminations through the alimentary canal.
21. Do these for the thirty-six days; then we would give the further instructions.
22. In the matter of the diet: Be mindful that the tuberous or bulbous vegetables are not used too much in the diet, or hog meat of ANY nature. No fried foods of any nature. The vegetables should be of the leafy variety, or those such as beans or lentils, or the various forms of greens that may be cooked. Also berries of most natures may be taken - but not too much of these may be taken - but not too much of these.
23. Do these, and then we would give the further instructions.
24. Ready for questions.
25. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. 4/20/37 wife's letter:
   Mr. Edgar Cayce, Virginia Beach, Virginia
   Dear Mr. Cayce:
   I am interested in your readings for my husband, [1365] who had a tumor removed from his brain, (left side), September 23, 1935. A portion of the brain cell was also removed. Before the operation he suffered greatly and daily with a headache on this side of his head. And after suffering this way for about two years, I think, he began to lose use of his right arm, hand and leg. This was all gradual, and this was when he was informed by his physician that he had a tumor, and was advised to go as soon as possible and have it removed, which he did.
   He underwent the operation with satisfaction and returned home, but has never been well since. He was at home four months after the operation, returning to his office work the last week in January, 1936. He is a stock broker, having been a telegraph operator some years ago.
   Since the operation he has been gradually been losing the use of all of his limbs, he cannot write with his right hand, and has much difficulty in feeding himself sometimes. I have to bathe him and assist him in dressing and fix him comfortable when he lies down every time. His throat is effected too, his voice being weak and he has difficulty in talking, is always depressed and emotional, cries about himself often. Just can't seem to cheer him up.
   He is anxious that you give him a physical reading, and I believe that you can help him if any one can. I have been told that the operation was only to give room for the tumor to grow. He sleeps well, has a good appetite. His right hand right foot have been swollen ever since the operation and for the past two weeks, his left foot has swollen some, his neck is stiff and often aches.

REPORTS

1. 9/09/68 Memo from Dr. C. Almon (M.D. fr. Switzerland visiting A.R.E.): "Page 1, par. 3 [1365-1, Par. 3] speaks of 'separation of forces' (cancer). Also wife's ltr. leaves little doubt that this tumor was a malignant glioma, perhaps an astrocytoma."
