TEXT

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body. You will answer the questions may be submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have those conditions in the body, [1973].
3. As we find, disturbing conditions arise primarily from toxic forces, or the unbalancing of the chemical forces of the body - until from the lack of eliminations there is a toxic force caused; thus affecting organs of the body in their functioning and causing at times a high blood pressure, - having in same at such times too much acid in the blood forces.
4. These then are conditions as we find them with this body of [1973]:
5. The blood supply indicates the toxic conditions, - principally an acidity to such an extent as to produce dilation in the colon itself, with phlegm or mucous in same that affects the nerves through the sympathetic system, - producing too great a pressure upon the area of the circulation between the liver and the heart.
6. The shortness of breath, the acute pains across the diaphragm area at times arise from these disturbances.
7. The inclinations for the lower limbs and the abdomen to feel full at times, especially after meals, are the effects also of these.
8. The effects to the eyes at times are from acidity, and the lack of the conditions to produce a better balance in the chemical forces of the body.
9. These, as we find, are those disturbances that are to be reckoned with at this time.
10. In making applications, first:
11. We would have the colonic irrigations to remove the toxic forces, or all of the mucous and phlegm, - not attempting all at once, but some two, three to four high colonic irrigations. This will tend to make for a general easing in the toxic forces in the system.
12. And we would supply better eliminations and counteract acidity by the taking of Milk of Magnesia, preferably in tablet form; about one tablet every other day.
13. On opposite days take two to three drops of Glyco-Thymoline in half a glass of water.
14. Make corrections by the manipulations or adjustments in the whole of the cervical and the upper dorsal area; coordinating the lumbar and sacral with same occasionally. These would be better for this body if made every day, until at least some ten or fifteen are given; rest then a period of a week and then a few more taken.
15. In the diet beware of those foods that carry large quantities of fats, - as the fat of fowl, though the lean or bony portions would be very well to supply more calcium; as well as fish and those bony portions of same that are cooked to such an extent that these may be masticated also, - that is, the heavy bones, not the small ones. Hence these boiled or broiled or roasted would be preferable for the body, and of the larger varieties - (fish) that carry a great quantity of those properties or body and blood building.
16. CODIRON as a tonic would be most beneficial, - this taken one tablet morning and noon meals, - taken during the meal.
17. Have plenty of leafy vegetables; and occasionally the artichoke - especially the Jerusalem variety. These (the artichokes) would be cooked in their own salts, - that is, cooked in Patapar Paper; not too done nor too raw, though they may be eaten raw at times if so desired.
18. These done, we may bring better influences for this body, [1973].
19. Ready for questions.
20. (Q) Can anything be done to improve eyesight?
    (A) As has been indicated, - with these corrections and with the supplying of the energies for the general system and reducing the acidity, there will be bettered conditions.
21. (Q) For the rash or breaking out on her face?
    (A) This is from the acidity in the system, and will disappear as the system is alkalized. Do as has been indicated.
22. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. 7/20/39 Daughter, Miss [1749]'s letter to EC:
   ..., N.J.
   Dear Mr. Cayce:
   It was so nice of you to write me that last letter. Mrs. [1602] tells me that you are going to make her a short visit and there the tuna fishing - so cheap when you are in ... I hope to catch a glimpse of you. Am so very glad you are taking a VACATION.
   I am enclosing a check for a reading for my mother. As I am going to Dr. Taylor [William D. Taylor, N.D.] regularly it seemed unfair not to have her profit by it and so she has consented. Of course she is 71 yrs old.
   We would like to ask about 1) any suggestions for treatment for her entire body. In particular 2) CAN ANYTHING BE DONE TO IMPROVE HER EYESIGHT? 3) What can be done for the rash or "breaking out" on her face? 4) What causes her occasional HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE? 5) Will you suggest any particular diet? What should she eat? 6) What do you find to be the condition of the body?
   I thought it would be so wise for mother to have what help she can during this summer while I am here. She is such a lovely soul, so much loved by everyone, and of such a service to people because of her influence. Dr. Taylor thinks she has been long on the way, and I do too.
   Would it be possible for her to have a reading before you leave? She will be at the above address.
   Faithfully yours, [1749]
