TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, Mrs. [1628].
2. Now as we find, there is something of a complication of disturbances in the physical forces of this body.
3. The causes are rather specific, while the effects are not so specific. And these without correction, as we find, may grow to be greater disturbances, as more of the activity of organs becomes involved reflexly in the disturbances.
4. These then are the conditions as we find them with this body, [1628] we are speaking of, present in this room:
5. First, with THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find shows an anemia, of a nature arising from the lack of clarification through the lung supply as well as purification as it were through the activities of the liver and circulatory forces as related to eliminations through the system.
6. These as we find form then the combinations of disturbance to the assimilating and eliminating systems. Thus the involvement of the activity of the organs through the purifying and rebuilding or replenishing forces of the body-systems' functioning.
7. IN THE NERVOUS SYSTEM, here we find the base, or the cause of the first disturbances. This as we find is in the areas between the 2nd and 3rd to the 4th and 5th dorsal areas, or the secondary cardiac plexus areas; where deflection of impulse to the lungs and to the activity of the upper digestive forces is the basis or the cause of the conditions.
8. Thus the activities of the organs affected from this particular portion or area become involved with the disturbances in the body.
9. Hence, affecting the upper hepatic circulation, we have a deflection through the lower. Therefore, with a sympathetic condition through the alimentary canal, from reflexes, we find a general nervous debilitation in the sympathetics. Thus the activities through the eliminating system become a part of the disturbing influences for the body.
10. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, brain forces and reflexes are in order with the activities of the body, as show in disturbing influences through the system.
11. The organs of the sensory system show weaknesses from the impoverishments, yet these are only sympathetic conditions through the areas of infection or reaction.
12. In the throat, bronchi, lungs and larynx we find conditions that have been effected through repressions, through sympathetic as well as direct pulsations.
13. Heart's activity is irregular, being a natural condition arising from an anemia in the blood stream or force itself.
14. The digestive forces for the stomach and the activities of same show quite a deficiency in the calcium through the system, which would be a natural effect from a disturbed metabolism as well as the conditions or influences from the activities of the liver and the lungs with the repressions through eliminations in the system.
15. The gall duct and those areas of the activities from same show the lack of their proper drainage and eliminations at times. These only become a portion of the disturbing forces.
16. The activities of the organs of the pelvis, as related to the general conditions in the system, we find become a part of a reflex force; and with the corrections of the subluxations that exist in the dorsal area, with the stimulation to the activities of the circulatory forces as connected with assimilation and eliminations, we may remove those disturbances through these portions of the body.
17. THEN, IN MAKING APPLICATIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT OF THE CONDITIONS IN THIS BODY - AS WE FIND:
18. First we would correct, through osteopathic adjustments, the subluxations through the dorsal area.
19. These treatments would be taken first about twice each week for three to four weeks; then rest from same a week or two weeks; and then another series of two weeks should be sufficient.
20. We would add to the system a greater amount of free calcium for the activity of the bodily forces, as may be found through the use of Calcios. Take about half or quarter teaspoonful once each day, preferably spread on bread.
21. About twice a week, until eight or ten have been taken, we would make for drainages through the alimentary canal through the deep therapy electrical forces throughout the vibratory forces of the system - that is, the diathermy treatments. These would be taken, of course, under the supervision of one who may give same, with the LOW forces - NOT the high vibrations or the high voltage, see? These vibrations are not to be given too heavy, you see - these should be the mild, but should be the direct.
22. Do these and, as we find, we may bring the nearer to normal forces for this body.
23. Ready for questions.
24. (Q) What causes and what should be done for the swelling in feet?
    (A) As we find, this is only a reflex condition from the disturbances that exist in the upper dorsal area. With the correction of these impulses that cause the reflex pressures upon the lumbar axis, and with the application of the deep therapy or diathermy as indicated, we would change the vibratory forces of the body in such a manner as to remove these disturbances.
25. (Q) Why do I have a temperature?
    (A) The effect of this disturbance in the liver and the heart and lung activity.
26. (Q) What causes constipation and what should be done for it?
    (A) There is the lack of the peristaltic movement owing to the sympathetic conditions as indicated, through lack of DRAINING of the gall duct and its relationships to the alimentary canal.
    With the corrections of the impulses for the nerve flow through the system, and especially these areas - as from the 1st dorsal to the 4th and 5th dorsal; of course, coordinating the rest of the centers with same; with the diathermy and the increased amount of calcium in the system as indicated, we would find these conditions disappearing.
27. (Q) How many hours a day should I rest?
    (A) This would be a very good rule for the body as to the manners of resting: After the morning meal, work a while. After the noon meal, rest at least an hour to an hour and a half. After the evening meal, walk.
28. (Q) Any suggestions about the diet?
    (A) Of course, through those periods especially when corrections are being made, and especially the deep therapy, we find that fruit juices and vegetable juices and vegetables should form rather the basis of the diet - than meats.
    Do not combine white breads or potatoes or spaghetti for this body, no two of these at any one meal. Keep away from fried foods as much as possible. Have at least one portion of a meal each day of raw vegetables.
29. (Q) What is the condition of the heart?
    (A) As indicated, the subluxations - as they affect the secondary cardiac reaction - CAUSE irregularity. When those corrections are made, and the vibrations set up by the electrical forces - if they are not given too heavy - these should bring about near to normal activity.
    Do that.
    Keep a POSITIVE yet constructive mental attitude towards those conditions about the body. This will be helpful also.
30. We are through for the present.

1. 7/07/38 Husband's wire to Mr. [470] and Mrs. [1100]:
   DOCTORS REPORT TALLIED PERFECTLY WITH READING ONE TREATMENT HAS BEEN GIVEN AND HAVE ARRANGED TO HAVE THEM TWICE WEEKLY [1628]'S MENTAL ATTITUDE GREATLY ENHANCED BY THE FINDINGS MANY THANKS TO YOU AS I BELIEVE THIS THE ONLY THING YET THAT IS GOING TO BRING RESULTS WILL GIVE YOU MORE DETAILS OF PROGRESS LATER REGARDS=
2. 7/09/38 Extract from Dr. Irvin's letter: "Mrs. [1628] came to the office yesterday; in checking over your Readings with examination of the patient, I find that there is no organic heart condition; hemoglobin is down to 50, blood pressure 100, fecal impaction in the descending colon, gall bladder slightly enlarged; a very rigid dorsal and lower cervical spine. I believe that your recommendations in this case will get results."
3. 8/10/38 Dr. C. W. Irvin's ltr. to EC:

   Mr. Edgar Cayce, Virginia Beach, Virginia
   Dear Mr. Cayce;-
   Mrs. [1628], who came to me with your reading on July 7th, and about whom I reported soon afterward, has improved greatly. I found only one thing that you had not incorporated in your reading, namely, her hemoglobin was down to 55%. Last week, this had gone up to 85%, there have been no heart symptoms since her first treatment, and the gall bladder condition has steadily improved from the very start. She is highly pleased with the results, and I feel that she will be entirely well within short time.
   It has been a genuine pleasure to work with these people, and especially since each one has been so highly pleased with the results obtained. I shall also be very glad for you to drop into my office anytime you are in the city.
   Thanking you for referring these patients to me, and assuring you of my cooperation at any time, I am
   Most sincerely yours, [signed] C. W. Irvin
4. 8/16/38 Mrs. [1628] referred Mrs. [1660] for readings.
5. 5/26/39 She obtained a second Physical Reading - See 1628-2.
