Time and Place: 11:00 to 11:05 A. M. Eastern War Time. ..., Kentucky.

TEXT

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:
EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2288]; this we have had before.
There are a great many changes in the physical forces of this body since last we had it here. Not all of these are for the betterment, by any means.
There is less resistance in the body and there are even more complications.
It would be well for the body to change its environs or surroundings. Such as in the southern portion of new Mexico or Arizona would be well, for at least six to twelve months.
And with this change in environment, and the careful attention as to the diet, do use the hot water treatments that may be had with the Elliott Machine for the prostate trouble.
Do use absorbents for the toxic forces through the duodenum. We do not find ulcerations here but rather spasmodic reactions from the general nervous conditions of the body, when there is the overtaxation physically or when there are anxieties mentally. There is rather a spasmodic condition in the area where the duodenum empties into the jejunum. These make those distresses there. We find that charcoal and honey, or that form of charcoal tablet prepared by Kellogg, would be preferable. Others will be too severe. This will necessitate some laxatives, but the general conditions for relaxation and then staying out doors a great deal when there are different climatic conditions we will have better responses for this body.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Any suggestions as to diet?
(A) We have suggested, but he hasn't adhered very well. Better diet himself, as he is a very good doctor.
(Q) Is surgery indicated for the prostate gland?
(A) Not by any means! If you will use the hot water treatment from the Elliott Machine, it will be better. But surgery here - he will be through for this period.
(Q) Would Urtron medication be beneficial?
(A) If he doesn't change climatic conditions this would be very well, but he needs at least six months climatic change - so he will be in the open more. He can get connected with the Army camp there, if he wishes.
(Q) Is there trouble with the stomach or biliary tract, following removal of gall bladder? [in 1938]?
(A) As indicated here, this is in the area where the duodenum empties into the jejunum. This is not the same area, but it is a reflex or a sort of gurgitation or a nervous reaction here. Absorbents are necessary, as indicated.
Do that.
We are through with this reading.

Mrs. [...] ..., Street ..., Kentucky
Dear Mr. Cayce-
We want to thank you for your letter received last week. Would like to know what the charges are so that we may send you a check. [2288] is real familiar with the Elliott Machine you mentioned and would appreciate any information regarding same - We have ordered the Kellogg Charcoal Tablets. I am so sorry you put the burden of diet on [2288] - We have for fifteen years had the best cook in ... and are a food conscious family. [2288] knows better but that old appetite gets the best of him - He restrains himself some but I know not enough.
In December we began to look for a place in Arizona to spend the winter but to date have had most unfavorable replies. They say half the U.S. have moved in on them and there is nothing to be had - We have also started proceedings to get into the Veterans Hospital in Tucson but that takes time - But we shall keep trying -
I had a few minutes with your sister in Nashville Friday - She looks so well and is so cheerful - I like her very much.
The Kentucky Library and Museum (founded by Mr. H. H. Cherry on Western campus) would like so much one of your autographed "There is a River" for their collection.
Thank you again My Friend - [...]
1/26/44 Aunt [5060]'s ltr. to EC: "...We have recently been so interested in your work for Dr. [2288] a nephew. They are busy trying to get him off to Arizona. At present he is hardly strong enough to start, but is gaining a little..."
2/02/44 EC's ltr. to [2288] and Wife:
Dr. [2288] & Mrs. [...] .., Kentucky
Dear Dr. [2288]
Thank you for yours of the 24th. Don't worry about any charges. You have always been too nice of friends to think about that. I think you will find all the information you wish to know about the Elliott machine from Dr. I Daniel Shorell, 8 East 64th St., New York City. It has proven to be most helpful in such conditions. I had a note from sister telling about seeing you, I am sending you a copy of THERE IS A RIVER to put in the library there in the school.
Thank you and with kindest personal regards to you both, I am
Sincerely Edgar Cayce EC:mpw

Mrs. [...] ..., Street ..., Kentucky
Edgar Cayce Foundation Virginia Beach, Va.
Dear Friends-
I would be so interested in any information on Arthritis especially the diet. You may remember that Mr. Cayce gave Dr. [2288] two readings - Dr. [2288] has had arthritis about fifteen years - He has grown progressively worse until three years ago he gave up practice and is now dependent on a wheel chair for motivation - He has seen a great many Doctors - spent time at Mayo Clinic and Vanderbelt Hospital - Nothing has ever helped him -
Thank you so much for any help

Mrs. [...] ..., Kentucky
Dear Mrs. [...]
I have your letter of December 8th and was sorry to learn of the developments in your husband's case.
We have forwarded the abstract to you and hope you find some of the suggestions in it helpful. Please let us have any questions and a report on any use you are able to make of the information.
Sincerely yours, Hugh Lynn Cayce HLC/dm
9/28/52 Ltr. from Miss [243], a friend to EC: "Dr. [2288] is a chair invalid, and has been for six months, creeping paralysis with arthritis condition. Mrs. [...] [[2288]'s wife] fell and broke her hip about eight weeks ago; she is able to be up some, but they are both confined to their room. They tell me it is a very pathetic case. I wrote Mrs. [...] [[2288]'s wife] and someone of her friends came in to tell me about her. I am truly sorry for them. She told her friend to tell me as soon as she could get out she was coming in to see me. So will try to get all information I can. I know she told me last fall that Dr. [2288] regretted having not followed the reading; said he was very foolish not to have..."
