TEXT

HLC: 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, the desires of the body here, [2426].
Now, as we find, there are disturbing conditions which prevent the better normal functioning. These are in a manner rather complex, but are primarily of a glandular nature, and the attempts to supply influences without those conditions being taken into consideration.
These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [2426].
The blood supply indicates the impoverishment of the body, as well as - from a smear - the lack of elements as should be carried in same for better activity, from lack of proper activity of glandular forces in the system.
Thus we have an impoverishment in the form of lack of proper assimilation, poor eliminations, and the complications that arise from deficiency or overactivity of organic functioning in the system.
We find that these bring greater nerve tensions at times, great distresses to many portions of the system where - with the weaknesses - at times there is lack of proper activity between portions of segments along the cerebrospinal system.
Thus at times these act as rebuffs or preventatives of the supplying even of sufficient of the activities of organs and nerve forces from that which is assimilated.
These also have produced, with nerve tension, the special or specific conditions that exist with the organs of regeneration. These prevent the normal activity at Periods and the normal activity in the functionings of the system; as well as the disturbances indicated through the glandular force, nerve conditions, poor activity of the organs in assimilation at times and distributions, - as indicated by superficial conditions here where the mole has been attempted to be removed.
As we find, then, there should be the applications - that we find indicated as best for the body in the present:
First, DO NOT continue with the taking of the vitamins or treatments now being taken, while the body is in that stage of preparations FOR these activities to be administered for the body as WE will later indicate.
These then, as we find, we would do:
First, for at least a period of twenty-one days, we would take Atomidine internally. Begin with one minim (drop) in half a glass of water each morning before a meal is taken. Every OTHER day increase the amount one minim, until five minims are being taken.
Then leave off one day. Then begin with two minims, and every other day increase the dosage two minims, until ten minims are being taken.
Follow this through for that period of the twenty-one days, see?
Then leave off the Atomidine.
Throughout that period let the diet be of those foods the more easily assimilated. Use rather the prepared milks, or those that are condensed in such a manner that there is the addition of milk to prepare same, - as in Malted Milk; and we will find this should NOT disagree, nor should the body be allergic to same, if the Atomidine is being taken in the manner indicated. Do not overburden the body with this, however, especially in the first five to ten days.
Have plenty of fruits and vegetables; these should be the principal diet through the twenty-one day period.
To be sure, cereals may be taken, especially the steel cut oats and the whole wheat cracked and the like, but these cooked a long time.
If meats, only a little of sea food or fowl; though never any fried foods.
After the twenty-one day period, - then begin first with a GENTLE RELAXING treatment, osteopathically administered. Special attention should be given to the brachial plexus area, or from the 3rd and 4th dorsal to the first cervicals, and the 9th dorsal, and the lumbar axis. Begin at the lumbar and work UPWARD, rather than beginning upward and working downward. Have at least fifteen to sixteen treatments. Give them at least twice every week.
As the osteopathic treatments are begun, then we would begin to administer the vitamins again. But the more beneficial of these, as we find, would be had in the combination found in ADIRON - for this body. For, the A and G, with the Cod Liver Oil, and the character of Iron that is with same, should assimilate with this system. Take two tablets each day; one at the noon meal and one at the evening meal.
We would also use the lights, - that is, the Infra Red Light, say on Tuesdays, for at least twenty to thirty minutes; and the Ultra-Violet Ray on Thursdays, but let this be rather the Mercury Quartz Light instead of the Carbon Light - this should be at least thirty-six to forty-eight inches (36" to 48") from the body, and do not take this treatment longer than a minute in the beginning - though as the osteopathic adjustments are made it may be extended to as long as three minutes, but not longer, see?
After the completing of the Atomidine, which will have purified the glandular system, we would then add the activity specifically for the thyroid; that is, we would then take the thyroid extract. This should be rather mild in its nature, and taken only about three times each week.
Also, after the Atomidine course is completed and the osteopathic treatments begun, we may increase the quantity of the foods; also we would then add the beef juices, though not too much of the flesh itself. We do not mean beef broth, but beef juice taken as medicine - not as food. This will give strength, is easily assimilated, and will give vitality to the body.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Will the Dinshah Spectro-chrome light filter system do me any good?
(A) Not under the present conditions. Do rather as we have outlined.
(Q) Is bitter chocolate, or bittersweet chocolate hard for me to digest?
(A) Any of the chocolates are hard to digest at the present. These may be taken in moderation as conditions progress, but should never be taken in any large quantity.
(Q) Will I ever be able to have a baby, and if so, how soon?
(A) This will depend upon whether or not the corrections are made through the lumbar area. If so, and there is the ability of the system to build up, it should be possible within a year.
(Q) Are the minerals and vitamins I am now consuming able to help me?
(A) Not until the system is so adapted that it may assimilate, and then we would take rather that combination of vitamins in the ADIRON, as indicated.
(Q) Do climatic conditions have a great deal to do with my troubles?
(A) Not so much, save from the mental reactions.
(Q) Do eggs disagree with me?
(A) Eggs disagree with the body at present. In the second week of the osteopathic treatments, when these may be added gradually to the diet, we would take only the yolk - which should be soft boiled, or the like - and little or none of the white, or albumin.
(Q) What should I do about the mole on my neck, on which the doctor put some acid for removal?
(A) Not anything in the present. As those properties suggested begin to take effect, and there are the adjustments in the circulation, we find that these will gradually take away the conditions.
We would keep same soft with a little of an equal combination of Mutton Tallow (melted), Spirits of Turpentine and Spirits of Camphor; not so much put on the area of the mole itself as the area about it, so that it will be absorbed by the effect of the properties through the radiation, see?
(Q) Will I ever be able to play tennis, and other active sports again?
(A) If so desired, and should be a part of the exercises as conditions are improved.
(Q) Is it possible for me to attain a weight of 135 pounds?
(A) A hundred and fifty if you desire it, after a little bit! It'll take six months or a year, though, before you can begin to put on that much weight!
Do as we have indicated, if there would be brought the better conditions for this body of [2426].
We are through for the present.

Copy to Mr. David E. Kahn (See extra sheet of directions [which was enclosed] for Osteopath, when you are ready for his treatments; also extra directions for the one who gives the light treatments, in case it is a different operator from the osteopath. Let us know the name of the one you choose, so we may put him on our mailing list.
Be sure to do everything in the proper ORDER as indicated.
Atomidine is manufactured by The Atomidine Co., 64 E. Sidney Ave., Mt. Vernon, N.Y. Take only as directed in the Reading. You do not begin the osteopathic and light treatments until the course of Atomidine is completed.
ADIRON is manufactured by The Lawrence Laboratories, Chicago, Ill. According to the Reading, this is the best balanced vitamin tablet on the market, and especially for you; but is also not to be taken until you begin the course of treatments from the osteopath.
See directions [which were enclosed] for preparing the pure beef juice.
If everything is not clear, let us know.)

BACKGROUND

12/20/40 [2426]'s letter to EC:
Mr. Edgar Cayce Virginia Beach, Virginia
Dear Mr. Cayce.
Mr. [257], while in Los Angeles, gave me your name and told me that you would be able to correctly diagnose my condition. He has related some of your miraculous findings to me, and it has given me new hope, where there was not much before.
He said that the price of a mental-physical reading would be $20.00, and that you would accept a portion of it monthly. Enclosed is a check for $5.00, and the balance will be paid as soon as possible, probably in amounts of $5.00 per month.
If there is still some time after you are through, I would like very much to ask some questions:
1 - Will the Dinshah Spectro-chrome light filter system do me any good?
2 - Is bitter chocolate, or bittersweet chocolate hard for me to digest?
3 - Will I ever be able to have a baby, and if so, how soon?
4 - Are the minerals and vitamins I am now consuming able to help me?
5 - Is there any form in which I may drink milk so that it won't give me hay fever.
6 - Do climatic conditions have a great deal to do with my troubles?
7 - Do eggs disagree with me?
8 - Will I ever be able to play tennis, and the other active sports again?
9 - Is it possible for me to attain a weight of 135 pounds?
10 - What should I do about the mole on my neck, on which the doctor put some acid for removal?
I presume it is necessary for me to be at home the day and hour at which you make the reading, so if you will please notify me, I shall be here.
I am looking forward to hearing from you, as I have been ill for so long, and have so nearly lost hope of ever becoming well again.

REPORTS

EXPERIENCE had by Edgar Cayce, or dream, during this Reading [left out of copy sent to Mrs. [2426]]:
I had a strange conversation with a man (possibly Mr. Wilgus [William A. Wilgus - see 5756-6, 5756-13 in which Mr. Wilgus communicated with EC, in '27 and '34]) who told me, "You have stressed again and again that people should learn to realize that the Lord thy God is one. Know that's your best proof of reincarnation; for then, whether you are in the body or out of the body, there is the awareness of always being one with Him - physically, mentally, spiritually."
1/24/41 [2426]'s letter to EC:
Mr. Edgar Cayce Association For Research and Enlightenment Virginia Beach, Virginia
Dear Mr. Cayce:
Thank you for sending your report to me by air mail. I was so anxious to get started on your recommended treatment. Have been taking the Atomidine for a week now, but have noticed no change. Indeed I am getting sicker again. I have a crisis about every two weeks and feel better for a couple of days, then gradually get worse again. At the time your letter reached me I was just getting over one period of illness. Now another has started.
Your reading was somewhat of a disappointment to me and also my doctor, for it was so incomplete. My main source of trouble was not mentioned, the thing that has kept me partially bed-ridden for the last ten months. From the general trend of your diagnosis, it would seem you were lead to believe that it was my female organs or regenerative system which was troubling me. That is very far from the truth, and is one part of me that never gives any trouble. My question regarding the baby was asked because so far I have never dared to try to have one for fear this other condition would come upon me during the pregnancy period.
This local condition in the past would flare up every six months, then every four months, and now for the last ten months, it has been every two or three weeks, or really constantly. I am consistently losing ground and weight, of course, and each flare-up leaves me just that much weaker. The reason I call it a local condition is because during the summer I had blood counts taken, and they indicated that the entire body was unaffected, it was simply concentrated in that local spot. However, the last two months the poison has circulated throughout the system, and of course I have been dieting and fasting accordingly. I have had hundreds of Chiropractic and Osteopathic treatments during the last ten years. I have been having at least one or two a week during the last ten months. Also the Ultra Violet treatment. The vitamin concentrate I have been taking contains, A, B1, C, D, G, Calcium, Phosphate, Iron and Iodine, and have also been taking concentrated Wheat Germ Oil in Capsules for Vitamin E. These products are made entirely from vegetable concentrates.
My doctor is Dr. George H. Stricker [D.O.?], 1235 West Sixth Street, Los Angeles. He is fully cooperating with me and your advice, and is hoping as hard as I am that your treatment will cure me. X-rays do not show the trouble clearly, and it cannot be ascertained definitely just what is going on within the body to cause these flare-ups. One medical doctor wanted to operate to find out what was in there, but the operation was very expensive and a very dangerous one, so we refused. We were all hoping you would be able to tell us the actual structural condition of the tissues affected, and what to do about it.
After reading the circular which came with the Atomidine, I am wondering if I understand your directions clearly. The manufacturers recommend such a much stronger dose. At present I am taking the drops as prescribed only once a day, in the morning half an hour before my orange juice. Is that correct, or am I to have them before each meal? Also you did not tell me what part of the body on which to use the Infra-red light, when the time came.
Enclosed is this month's payment on your reading. Thank you for allowing us to pay for it in this manner.
1/27/41 EC's letter to [2426]:
Dear Mrs. [2426]:-
Thank you for yours of the 24th - with enclosure. Think you will find some change for the better as you go along - sorry you were disappointed with the information - yet feel from the experiences of the thousands who have tried these readings that will you do just as suggested you will see beneficial results. If not you will be about the first one in some 25 thousand or more, if you don't lets check up and see what the reading says is the trouble.
No - the information seldom gives or suggests the dose as indicated on the Atomidine bottle, but insists the smaller dose is better provided the rest of the suggestions are done also. May require longer to get best results but is, according to the information, best way to use it.
The Infra-Red is used on the torso of the body - from the back. As it usually gives this is to heat the body and thus affect the blood stream.
Do hope you are feeling much better. Be sure and let me hear how you come along - and if not better soon, let's check up on the condition.
Hoping to be of a service
Sincerely [signed] Edgar Cayce
2/07/41 [2426]'s letter to EC:
Dear Mr. Cayce:
Am very ill. Local condition no better. Now have Rheumatic fever also and am feeling very badly. Today is my 21st for the Atomidine, but I hesitate to go ahead with the treatment outlined because I am so sick I can't eat anything, nor can I get into town to the doctor for manipulation.
Thot perhaps better ask you if I should go ahead or not, or if another reading would be advisable under the circumstances. I shall be at home constantly until I hear form you, so no appointment will be necessary.
Naturally I am very discouraged because I have shown no improvement. Still losing weight & strength. Hope you will be able to give me the lift I need.
Very truly yours [2426]
I enclose 25 cents for your leaflets described on folder. Prefer Physical case reports.
