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 which may be submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, [2014].
3. Now as we find, the disturbances are the incoordination between the IMPULSES and the activities through the cerebrospinal system.
4. These have passed through varied stages, but the causes arise from the incoordination between the cerebrospinal and the sympathetic systems, - arising from a lesion existent in the area of the lacteal and the umbilical plexus, which makes for contractions through the cords in the areas about the coccyx AND its associations and connections through the pineals.
5. Thus those contractions and reactions arise, from the incoordination of the activities.
6. As we find, this condition may be materially aided. It would require persistent and consistent applications, with the changes as will be necessary as conditions develop, - or as improvements arise.
7. First, we would have the administrations as would be made by William D. Taylor, see? in a neuropathic manner.
8. These, however, would be first administered at home.
9. Have heavy Castor Oil Packs applied each day for five days, leaving off for five days, then applying again five days, and so on. These would be applied at least an hour each day (when applied), over the lacteal duct or the area from the lower portion of the liver to the umbilical center, and extending to the caecum area on the right side.
10. Every day we would have the adjustments and manipulations, with special reference to the 9th dorsal; a pressure; and pressures upon the areas about the coccyx, with the relaxation of the abdominal area especially in the right side; coordinating these activities with those areas through the upper dorsal and throughout the cervicals.
11. Also each day for one hour, preferably as the body rests of an afternoon or when ready to retire, we would use the Radio-Active Appliance. The attachment plates would be kept very clean and polished, and would be circulated about the body in the regular order.
12. Then, be mindful of the diets, that these are kept well balanced with plenty of the iron and silicon foods, - such as whole wheat and steel cut oats.
13. Not too much of meats, but fish and fowl may be taken.
14. Use rather the easily digested foods.
15. Plenty of fruits and fresh vegetables, - not much of nuts or meats.
16. Do these, and be consistent with them for at least five to six weeks; then we would give further instructions.
17. Ready for questions.
18. (Q) Should the manipulations and the Oil Packs be begun at the same time?
    (A) Be begun at the same time. As indicated, first call the Doctor, - or see the Doctor, see? and then begin these all at once. Give the Oil Packs five days, leave off five days, and keep this up for the six weeks.
19. We are through for the present.

    Two copies for Mother (one for Dr. Wm. D. Taylor, 29 S. Maple Terrace, East Orange, N.J.)
    Copy to Ass'n file

   ..., N.J.
   Dear Mr. Cayce:-
   [2014] will be home at ... St. on Thur. Nov. 30, 1939. I would like to ask a few questions.
   Shall I wake him early in the morning because he sleeps till about 10 o'clock, and it's very hard for him to eliminate.
   How can I control his coughing while he's eating, and he dribbles terribly while eating.
   He is very stubborn and fresh and does not want to obey me, would you advise scolding him or hitting him he's so uncontrolable, or is it due to his ailment?
