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, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, [2075].
3. Now as we find, there are disturbing physical conditions which prevent the better normal physical functionings.
4. While they have grown to be rather a combination, or complication of disturbances, we find that these arise primarily from rather a simple - or not a complex - condition.
5. With the disturbance in the glandular system, and the disturbances with the eliminations as related to the organs of the body, including the organs of generation, we find that there has been produced an inclination for the lymph flow to attempt to ward off, or to prevent the disturbance through the system.
6. Thus it has grown into a lymph tumorous nature, through the pelvic and the abdominal area; thus sapping the vitality of the body, producing the various reflexes as to abilities of the body for physical activity as well as disturbing the organs themselves of the body; causing at times a very low pulsation, and at other times quite a fast pulsation, and an inclination towards temperature.
7. These are the sources, the causes, as we find, of the general disturbances through the body in the present.
8. As we find, in making applications that would be the more beneficial:
9. We would first begin with small doses of Atomidine. Take one minim (commercial strength) in half a glass of water of mornings before any meal is taken, for three days. Then increase to two minims each morning for three days. Use a medicine dropper; do not attempt to pour from the bottle.
10. After it has been taken for the second series, - that it, two minims each morning for three days, - use an Atomidine douche; this to be taken with a Fountain Syringe, and the proportions being a tablespoonful of commercial strength Atomidine to the quart of water body-temperature. This we would then continue about once a week.
11. Begin also with the application, twice each week, of an equal combination of Mutton Suet or Tallow (heated to liquefy), Spirits of Turpentine and Spirits of Camphor. Melt the Mutton Tallow, then add the other ingredients, and allow to cool. Massage this compound thoroughly into the areas across the small of the back and the whole of the abdomen. Then saturate a long piece of flannel (at least ten inches wide) with this compound, and wrap entirely around the body over these areas. Then keep the body quite warm while this is being applied. Apply this for at least two hours at the time, and at least twice each week.
12. After the three days of taking the two drops of Atomidine, begin with taking three drops each morning for three days, see?
13. Then take a high enema, - colonic irrigation, - to remove the poisons from the colon, and the tendencies for the lack of the proper coordinations in eliminations. This we would do once each week.
14. After the three minims of Atomidine for three days, begin then with the one minim for three days, - and repeat the whole procedure in the manner indicated.
15. Then leave off for at least five days.
16. Then begin again and take the whole series in the same way and manner.
17. When the entire second series has been completed, we will then give further instructions.
18. Now, as to the diet throughout this period:
19. To be sure, there should be taken that which is body, blood, nerve and strength building. At least every other day make a fresh quantity of beef juice, and take this in small quantities often. Never take more than a teaspoonful at the time, and this should be sipped very slowly, so as to mingle well with the salivary glands, - and a little whole wheat wafer should be taken at the time, or may be. Take this two, three, four, five times each day. Prepare only the lean beef, no fat in same, - and none of the meat is to be attempted to be taken, you see, - only the pure beef juice.
20. Plenty of fruit juices, - also celery, lettuce, carrots, beets; these all fresh, preferably ground together; or use a Juicer, and take the juice - but this to be made fresh each day, see? Take it in small quantities daily - the juice; or eat the raw salad at two meals and a small quantity of juice for breakfast.
21. Also have broths made from mutton, or chicken broth with onions AND with mutton, - that is, the onions with both, see? A little rice may be used at times, but preferably use more barley than rice with same.
22. Let the body eat these things in small quantities and often. Instead of three times a day, eat four times a day, or oftener.
23. Drink plenty of water.
24. Be sure there are the perfect eliminations daily, through the evacuations of the system.
25. Ready for questions.
26. (Q) Any spiritual advice?
    (A) Know that as the body, the mind, the soul, meets those conditions in the material experience, and as each is a helpful, hopeful influence, and purposeful, there may be the greater, the better, the more perfect understanding of the relationships of self with Creative Forces as may manifest through the spiritual awakening within self, - body, mind, soul.
27. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. 1/03/40 [2075]'s letter to EC:
   ..., New York
   Mr. Edgar Cayce - Virginia Beach, Va.
   Dear Mr. Cayce:
   My dear little friend Dr. [2067], has written me about her visit to you - enclosing literature to bear witness to relate she had written regarding your service to such as I. She believes that I too, can be healed of an illness that has held me in bondage for several years - causing me to give up all active practice in the field of law & social welfare work.
   As for the treatment I have had - I have relied upon chiropractic; a natural diet - & a study of mental, spiritual healing which has been my constant reading matter.
   Now - I am without sufficient vitality to read, concentrate or even remember one word from another. It is an effort to even try to express my thots - or even write a letter. Most of my time is spent in bed. It is a maddening state for me to be in for I have been so mentally alert - doing much mental & creative work such as writing - lecturing - pleading etc.
   The chiropractor finally told me he could do nothing more - I could either go to a hospital for an operation (for what he did not tell me) or I could make the best of it. This later advise I took & have been making the best of it for the past five months - then came this letter from [2067] & hope came that any prayer for higher guidance & help could be given me.
   Naturally, any income is practically nil - & any service you rendered me could only be paid for at the present by small installments. I feel certain that with your clear sightedness in to things that mystify many - I can clear up what is causing all my trouble.
   With all my heart I hope you will see your way clear to help me back into the service of my fellow man.
   Awaiting your advice - & course of procedure - I am
   Humbly - Miss [2075]
2. 1/07/40 [2075]'s letter to EC:
   ..., New York 1. After an illness of seven years - I was taken violently & desperately ill about fifteen months ago. A chiropractor surgeon happened to be here in the building & a friend called him in to help me. A week later he performed a bloodless operation - he said it was a tumor. For several months I was not out of bed. Since getting up & about - I have gone down in strength & energy & it is with difficult I perform even the simple tasks of the needs of the day. Am compelled to remain in bed most of the time. Summed up - my trouble is - complete lack of vitality & energy.
   2. My mind is most active & alert - have a great urge to do things but am denied expression for lack of physical energy.
   Mind is like a sieve - It retains little or nothing of late - of what I read - see or try to create.
   Unable to memorize - write or express myself fluently.
   QUESTIONS
   1. What is the cause of my physical & mental depletion? 2. What must I do to regain my physical health & perfect mental activity?
   Most humbly submitted for diagnosis - [2075]
