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.
3. As we find, conditions indicated are some different and yet may be said to be a result of acute conditions arising from cold and congestion that has attacked the body, as it were, in the present.
4. Also there are those tendencies for the lack of assimilative activities sufficient to produce the proper amount of the red blood cellular forces.
5. First - in the present - we would take the Atomidine regularly in series; two drops in half a glass of water each morning before the meal is taken, for five days; leave off three days; take for five, leave off three - continuing in this manner for at least three to four such series.
6. We would again have the osteopathic adjustments, with special reference to the stimulating of those centers in the dorsal area from which the SPLEEN and liver receive their source of supply of energies. These adjustments we would have at least once a week.
7. Each evening we would apply over the spleen area a flannel dampened in Atomidine; that is, the left side of the upper portion of the abdomen; or from the stomach towards the left side, see? Then apply heat over this, as from an electric pad. Let this stay on for at least twenty to thirty minutes.
8. When the flannel is removed, then massage the area thoroughly with Pure Peanut Oil.
9. Be mindful about the diet, which has been outlined. Have plenty of all foods from which there are the more vitamins of the B series, as well as G and A; that we may have the strength-giving forces as well as the better blood supply.
10. Be sure to keep up the local applications each day, and the general or regular applications and care as we have indicated.
11. Do these.
12. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) What has caused recurrence of numbness in limbs?
    (A) The deficiency in the blood supply. Hence the stimulating to more normal activity by the use of the Atomidine for cleansing the glandular forces, and then the application of the Peanut Oil to that particular gland of the spleen and the areas about same.
14. (Q) Should I continue yeast tablets and bone marrow?
    (A) These are well for the eliminations, also for the better activities of blood building. Yes, we would continue same.
15. (Q) What causes mounting of the white blood cells, and what may be done to avoid a possible development towards leukemia?
    (A) It is caused by an overactivity of the spleen. Use those things indicated.
16. (Q) May anything be suggested now to aid in putting on weight?
    (A) This as we find will be a result of the better conditions generally; so that in the spring and early summer the body should put on weight.
    Do these things indicated, and as we find we will bring better forces for this body.
17. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. 12/08/39 See 1779-4.
2. 3/05/41 Letter from [1779]: After a siege with an infected throat last fall, I tried to build up with iron and concentrated vitamins but without much result. In fact, the vitamins gave me heart pains and quite a pounding at the base of the brain. During the winter I took on some rather strenuous work which seemed to have made matters worse. I've stopped the work now but am jittery most of the time and my limbs are again getting numb very easily - perhaps you will recall my mentioning this when I first wrote to you two years ago. There has been no recurrence in between. However, there is a new factor now with regard to the white blood cells which for over half a year have shown a tendency to mount. They have been brought down with spleen injections, but as soon as they were stopped the count went up again. So I don't feel that that is getting at the cause. If you could suggest anything to avoid a possible development toward a leukemia condition, I should indeed be grateful. Also I am having no luck in putting on weight. I stay around 100 lbs. and consequently have no vitality. At present I am taking yeast tablets and bone marrow.

REPORTS

1. 1/23/42 She referred Miss [2684] for a Physical Rdg.
2. 10/27/60 GD's ltr. to Miss [1779]:
   Miss [1779] ..., New York
   Dear Miss [1779]:
   A young medical doctor is making a survey of the Edgar Cayce readings pertaining to serious cases of anemia [See Par. R3 below].
   Not having heard from you in years I hesitate to write, but we do need to know whether or not you were ever able to check the anemia and build up your blood condition - whether through following the readings or by some other method?
   Every now and then I receive one of [2091]'s letters and I do appreciate being kept on the mailing list. I have thought of all of you many times and wondered how things were going at ...
   It would be good to hear from you again, aside from receiving the above needed information.
   Sincerely,
   [signed] Gladys Davis Turner, A.R.E. Secretary [GDT:js]
3. GD's note: Dr. Walter N. Pahnke studied Case [1779] when he made a study in July 1960 of 7 cases of leukemia (16 readings) [from the Edgar Cayce records], with summary of treatment for proposed controlled clinical trial. However, he did not include Case [1779] as he did not consider it a true case of leukemia.
4. 11/18/63 GD's note: Above first class letter was not returned; however, we did not get a reply from Miss [1779].
