TEXT

1. 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:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, Mrs. [1563]; this we have had before.
3. As we find, there are many changes in the general physical forces of the body since we had same last here. Not all are entirely satisfactory in the present. While this is not intended as something to do other than warn the body, there are disturbing conditions that must have attention else there will be disturbances that will become of a grave nature.
4. These have to do particularly with the eliminations, especially as associated with the liver and kidney activities. There are those conditions in the gall duct, and the lack of activity in these directions is causing regurgitations in the duodenum, producing tendencies towards grave disturbances in the form of lacerations. Also the incoordination between liver and kidneys is causing pains through the extremities. And the poor eliminations are causing toxic forces through the system. Hence we have quite a variation in the blood pressure as well as in the pulsations in and through the circulation of the arteries and the veins. These vary a great deal.
5. First we would commence with the Glyco-Thymoline over the pit of the stomach and over the gall duct area, even covering the caecum and at least half of the colon area. Use four to five thicknesses of cotton cloth saturated with the Glyco-Thymoline, and then place over this salt heat - heavy, coarse salt quilted into a pad that may be heated and applied. These we would put on of evening from thirty minutes to an hour, or until the Glyco-Thymoline through the heat has almost dried from the cloth. Do this for at least four or five evenings straight.
6. During that period take each day about eight drops of Glyco-Thymoline internally, in a little water. Also during this period take Caldwell's Syrup of Pepsin (senna) to cause better eliminations. Take it in broken doses.
7. Then we would begin with hot Castor Oil Packs over the gall duct area particularly, an hour each day for three days in succession.
8. After the third day take internally at least a tablespoonful of Olive Oil, though not more than this the first time, else it will regurgitate.
9. Then wait a week, and during that week have at least two general osteopathic treatments to set up better eliminations.
10. Then the next week take the Castor Oil Packs again, followed by at least two tablespoonsful of Olive Oil this time.
11. And the body will feel a great deal better.
12. Do not eat too much greases nor have these in the diet. Use fish, fowl and lamb as the meats, but not any of these fried. There should not be a great quantity of oils in the diet, for the gall duct area, the activities of the liver and the incoordination between liver and kidneys are disturbed by too much fats of any kind for the body.
13. Do take a great deal of raw vegetables at least once each day; not being fanatical as some, by taking only raw vegetables for a whole meal day after day, and then mix a whole lot of conglomerations with it that are not very good for the body. But be consistent and persistent and we will make better conditions.
14. But begin by alkalizing the body, internally, externally for at least a five day period.
15. Ready for questions.
16. (Q) What will eliminate ache in right arm and shoulder?
    (A) This is neuritic, from poisons arising from kidneys and liver.
17. (Q) What causes and what will cure the puffed spot in the right hand?
    (A) Same conditions.
18. (Q) What causes and what will relieve the breaking-out on skin of upper body?
    (A) Same conditions as just indicated. Do these things and we will bring better conditions for this body.
19. (Q) What causes and what will relieve excess phlegm in throat?
    (A) Same conditions. These are, though, in a different circulation, but when there are regular drainages set up these will be eliminated - and that is why we vary the properties for alkalizing the body to maintain an equilibrium between the superficial circulation and the lymph and emunctory activity through throat, nasal passages, head and the intestinal tract.
20. (Q) Should violet-ray be continued?
    (A) We haven't given it yet on these. This may be used later on but not in the present. Don't stir up these conditions by changing the vibrations of the body, but change these by and through those administrations indicated.
21. (Q) Any mental and spiritual advice, especially regarding her son [1664]?
    (A) Just keep in that way. Don't fool self, but do know that whatever is, is best - if self will use that as the basis of the approach to creative forces. Put self, the son and your own environs, your own friends and your foes even in this category! "Let me and let mine, let all, be channels of blessings, doing the will of God and not my own."
22. We are through with this reading.

REPORTS

   Edgar Cayce Foundation

   (2) Variations: Diet on page 3 [1141-1, Par. 17--19] was followed - all was repeated over two 30 day periods in making 3 months. After this blood pressure was normal. During this treatment 1/2 lemon in ice tea glass was taken every morning before breakfast [as in 4999-1].
   Signed [1563] Date July 1949
   Comments:
   This treatment was taken two springs in succession. Very satisfactory results, health much improved.
3. 9/10/50 Report by niece, Mrs. [1523]:
   Today Aunt [1563] was at ..., at the ... home there. After some few years of tension due to differences of opinion in the family circle between herself and her sister-in-law, [2867] - Aunt [1563] had again been going up to the old home place. Something came up to to disturb her, and she had what doctors call a cerebral hemorrhage. She was taken to the hospital Sunday night of the above date at which time there was some numbness in the right hand - and inability to stand on her right leg, along with blindness. 9/28/50; she is unable to feed herself - is kept in bed - and is not able to see anyone,though she is unaware of the extent of her condition. She is being attended by Dr. Taylor [Waller L. Taylor, M.D.] of Virginia Beach - and the nurse reported to Aunt [1601] that her condition is very uncertain, though the family is not being told of this. Mentally she is better - that is - her attitude is not so negative as it has been. The nurse reported that "medically she did not see any improvement."
4. 5/10/51 Brother's letter to her son, [1664]:
   Just now I want to first consider your Mother. Her eyesight is much improved Dr. Via says [C. E. Via, M.D.?] and I saw his comparative charts which prove that point. However her eyes are not her most serious trouble. The trouble is in the brain, and she does not realize how serious her condition is, and that is just as well. She is nervous and very easily upset emotionally. After giving the matter much thought and consulting her doctors we are recommending a nursing home where we hope she can go for a period, a month or two at least to see if that will help.
5. 5/59 Report by niece, Mrs. [1523]: "Through Aunt [1601] I learned that Aunt [1563] took a turn for the worse - had to be taken from the rest home to the hospital where she did not appear to know anyone - was being fed through the nose - had to be turned every two hours, etc. The last I heard she had recovered sufficiently to be returned to the nursing home, but was still being fed through the nose."
6. 6/16/59 Sister Mrs. [1601]'s letter: "[1653] is asleep now and is much better than when I saw her last. Answers Yes or No clearly to most questions and will smile sometime when I tell her funny stories, which is almost unbelievable compared to the way she was when I saw her last. [1664] was be here shortly to give her lunch - she eats better for him than anyone - so he comes every day - has only about two miles to come."
7. 10/08/60 She died, at the age of 76.
