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:
EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2332].
Now as we find, there are specific conditions that cause disturbances in this body. These as we find are far from that which appears to be the result, or the effect.
Hence the applications that have been made, in the greater part, have been for the effects rather than the causes of the disturbances. And these disturbances have produced a combination of other disorders that are to be considered, or taken into consideration, in making administrations for the beneficial conditions to the body.
These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [2332] we are speaking of, present in this room:
The blood supply indicates that there are characters of poisons being left in the system, and that there is incoordination in the manner in which poisons - or the refuse forces of the body - are eliminated.
Hence we find the source or basis of the disturbance is a deflection from subluxation, as combined with the glandular disturbance.
This affectation, or subluxation, exists in the lumbar, sacral and coccyx area.
Thus the greater deflection to the lower limbs, though when this becomes severe there are conditions appearing in the superficial circulation to other portions which indicate that there is a form of strep that is inflammatory; and the superficial circulation indicates same by the blemishes, the pimples, and the rash that occurs in the system.
This as we find affects in the present the nervous system, and the circulation; though, unless corrections are made, it may become effective in the organs themselves of the body, - especially the kidneys and the organs of the sensory system - eyes, ears, the soft tissue of face, the nasal passages, - even the areas of the teeth or gums and throat may at times have those symptoms that indicate these are areas from which the glandular forces are detracting from the proper assimilation of the diets in the body.
These, then, as we find, are conditions to be met.
Of course, it will require a little time; yet we may eliminate the causes, and enable the body then to become - in a few weeks - near to normal.
We would begin first, then, with these:
Begin immediately with the mechanical corrections (that is, osteopathically), of the subluxation which exists in the coccyx, lumbar and sacral; coordinating the 9th dorsal and from the 2nd and 3rd dorsal to the 1st cervicals with these corrections about every other treatment.
It will require at least six to eight adjustments; keeping up the other suggestions as indicated for the bodily forces - as we will suggest here.
As we find, Irvin would be the better here - for these corrections.
Each day, - preferably just before retiring, - take internally about an ounce or ounce and a half of Mullein Tea. Prepare same in this manner; preferably gathering the Mullein Leaves AND the flower fresh - at this season: Cut these very fine, and put about two ounces of same (by measure, not by weight) in a quart of water. Let this steep as tea. Do not attempt to keep this longer than two days, even with keeping same on ice, for it will not keep, you see. Hence it should be made fresh every third day, you see.
Then the diets of the body:
Keep away from fried foods, potatoes, white bread, beef or the like.
If meats are taken, only take such as fish, fowl or lamb - and these broiled, baked, stewed or the like.
Have plenty of vegetables, especially squash, carrots, okra and the like.
Little of the beans that are dried, - as butterbeans, peas or the like, or the bulbular foods.
Little of fruits; not much of the mixtures of the various acids; that is, NEVER combine peaches with tomatoes at the same meal, - but either of these in moderation may be taken occasionally.
Do these consistently, persistently, and we will remove the causes, and much of those reflex conditions that arise from these disturbances.
The glandular forces, of course, are in the adrenals. Thus the Mullein Tea will relieve the pressures upon the kidneys, as well as the bladder disturbance that at times causes some anxiety.
Ready for questions.
(Q) How soon should she go to work again?
(A) This will depend upon how much the body stands upon the feet, and as to how well the reaction is from the Mullein Tea.
If the feet and limbs give a great deal of trouble, apply Mullein Stupes also to the limbs - which will reduce the disturbance. Bruise the leaves, pour boiling water over them to wilt them, and then apply to the limbs as a poultice.
On other parts of the body, when breaking out occurs, we find that Resinol is the better ointment.
Then, of course, as an emollient, an equal combination of Olive Oil and Peanut Oil would be well.
(Q) Is beer harmful?
(A) Very harmful for the body. For, the hops act upon the glandular forces that are disturbing to the body; especially the NEW - and so little is aged at present.
Especially the combinations of ale and beer are harmful.
Keep free from ANY carbonated waters, for the carbonations cause an effluvium in the blood. To be sure, Coca-Cola is helpful to the kidneys, but if taken, use the Coca-Cola syrup in plain water - and this to the body will not be very palatable.
We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

Breaking out and terrible swelling and rawness of feet; breaking out on neck, arms and legs. Some doctors say it is athlete's foot, some eczema; none seem to know what is causing it or what to do; been to Dr. Dormire and Dr. Taylor at Virginia Beach. It occurred last summer also; been off my feet several weeks now, unable to work.

REPORTS

11/11/40 Letter from Dr. C. W. Irvin to EC: "...Miss [2332] was one of the most remarkable cases I have ever treated. You remember, of course, the condition of her feet and I am frank to tell you that I was skeptical when I started treating her, but after the fourth treatment her feet were entirely well and up to a week ago, the last time I saw her, they were perfectly normal..."
12/29/80 Letter from Rena L. Thompson:
"I have been helped greatly by a remedy of Dr. Cayce's that I found in Edgar Cayce: The Sleeping Prophet by Jess Stearn. I had terrible reddish brown spots on my neck & parts of my back. I assumed they were Eczema or something like that. The book said Dr. Cayce suggested rubbing the spots first with Resinol and then Cuticura Ointment. I did & the spots cleared up practically immediately. They seldom come back and when they do the Resinol & Cuticura Ointment take care of them right away."
