TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body - and those impressions of same - Mrs. [1556], of ... Street, New York City.
2. As we find, there is rather the complication of disturbing conditions in the physical forces of this body; though with the proper adjustments, corrections, and the proper eliminations established, we should find the body responding and soon returning near to normal conditions.
3. These then are conditions as we find them with this body, Mrs. [1556]:
4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, we find there are indications of an intestinal toxic disturbance, as from the lack of proper activity of the glandular system as related to assimilation.
5. Thus we find the liver and the spleen, rather than the pancreas, involved in the conditions.
6. As to the effect produced, we find rather the combination of effects - through the pressures created in the system - along centers where cerebrospinal and sympathetic make greater connections.
7. This toxic force, as combined with the excess acidity as produced BY the toxic forces, causes the mucous membranes of the throat, and especially the soft tissue of face, to become much involved at times.
8. Also those pressures from the poisons and subluxations in the dorsal and cervical area, combined with mental worries, oft produce depressing conditions throughout the system.
9. THE NERVOUS SYSTEM, this as indicated is involved by not only pressures produced from poisons, where there is the attempt for activity in areas from which organs receive their impulses - as in the throat, bronchi and lungs which have become involved, but from specific subluxations - as in the first of the dorsal area and through the head and neck cervicals; as the 1st, 2nd and 3rd, even to the 4th and 5th cervicals - all will need readjustments, as it were.
10. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, as we find, owing to the disturbances in the system, the organs have become involved more sympathetically than organically.
11. Hence their functionings have been spasmodic reactions.
12. IN MAKING APPLICATIONS FOR THE HELPFUL INFLUENCES AND CORRECTIVE MEASURES, THEN:
13. First we find it would be well to keep a mental attitude of hopefulness; not necessarily of resignedness, but the trust in the Creative Forces - that are the promise of each soul that would keep His ways.
14. Be in that attitude of an ACTIVE passiveness, then; knowing - as He has said - that he whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth; and that - again - the Lord loveth those who help themselves.
15. Then, for the physical activity, we would first begin with taking a quarter teaspoonful of the antacid reacting properties found in Alcaroid; at least twice each day for two or three days; after the morning meal and after the heavy meal of the day - whether noon or evening. This will serve to make for activities through the digestive system that will produce the gradual changes for activity in the duodenum, calling for better activities through the liver AND the spleen.
16. After this is taken for three days, then take Zilatone; one tablet about half an hour after the morning meal, two tablets about two hours after the evening meal.
17. Then leave off both the Alcaroid AND Zilatone for two to three days. Then repeat again. This procedure is to cleanse the system.
18. At the same time we would begin with adjustments - as may be administered by the activities of Dr. Mary Miller - EVERY day for five days; leave off a week; then take again for five days. Leave off another week, then have another period of treatment.
19. With these kept - and the precautions taken as to the diet, keeping less of the starches and more of the vegetable forces - we will find we will bring the near to normal forces for this body.
20. Ready for questions.
21. (Q) How is my heart?
    (A) Sympathetically irregular.
22. (Q) My left ear bothers at times.
    (A) With the corrections indicated, we will find many corrections in the body, or the individual activities of sympathetic reaction in various portions will be improved.
23. (Q) Have had hay fever from childhood.
    (A) The corrections, as well as the activities for the betterment should prevent the reoccurrence so much of these disturbances.
    Do those things as indicated, and we will find the better conditions for this body.
24. We are through with this Reading.

REPORTS

1. 3/28/38 [1556]'s Letter: "At 10 o'clock (this A.M.) I relaxed on couch and was so at peace that I could feel such a marvelous vibration going over and through my entire body. The thought came how wonderful it would be if while you were asleep you could speak the word and people were instantly made whole. Am so grateful to you for all day have felt so uplifted in consciousness. Just wanted you to know how I reacted and will now patiently wait to know what you received for me."
2. 4/04/38 [1556]'s Letter: Upon receipt of your 'reading', I purchased the Alcaroid & Zilatone, and started taking it as directed - 3 days of Alcaroid 1/4 teaspoonful morning (after breakfast and then after dinner).
   Yesterday started Zilatone but find two at night too much. Am afraid its not going to do for I feel so bloated and, in fact, seem to be putting on too much weight and am too much over weight now. My glands in throat seem to be very much stimulated. Having had ovaries partly removed may be the cause. I really should reduce twenty pounds. Do you think best for me to continue. Feel so full in through my stomach. I am not a big eater, and eat mostly vegetables, occassonially a little chicken and lamb - not much bread or bake - usually eat protein bread. Wish you would advise what to do about this excess flesh.
   I am not in position to take adjustments right now, but will as soon as I can. I have a very fine chiropractor, Dr. Bernhardt.
   Waiting your reply. Think conditions can be worked out so I will be well & strong.
   Thanking you for your interest and will try to help all I can.
3. 4/07/38 EC's letter to [1556]:
   Dear Mrs. [1556]
   Just in receipt of yours of 4th - While I realize each person is a law unto themselves, have never had the experience of the compounds suggested affecting any one as you say it does you, would however reduce the quantity of Zilatone. Take an enema high one if possible, and think you will find all that full bloaty feeling leaving - but would keep up the whole treatment - it is all supposed Mrs. [1556] to be taken in conjunction one with another - Why don't you go see Dr. Miller, explain the situation to her, show her the reading, she has had expertise with them - and feel very sure arrangements can be made so you can get the results now. For it of course will not be so well to take just part of that suggested and leave part off. Think you will get real results. Just had a letter from a lady in Albany, she has something of the same trouble as you - except a very much more aggravated kidney condition - since Feb 22 she has lost 20 pounds and says she feels fine, and the old trouble is all disappearing. You am sure can get just as good or better results if you can get the entire treatment, and do hope you will do this for it is of course results we wish to see you have from the suggestions. Let me know about this won't you please.
   Thanks for address given sending data today
   With all good wishes
   Sincerely [signed] Edgar Cayce
4. 4/22/38 [1556]'s Letter: "Just a few lines to say I am some better. I am still taking the Alcaroid and Zilatone. I decreased the dosage and found it agreed better. The amount of medicines to affect me has been very little - in fact do not take, only herbs."
5. 5/15/38 "I am feeling better physically and trust the financial will also soon be adjusted."
6. 6/22/38 She obtained her Life Reading - See 1556-2.
