TEXT

1. 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:
2. EC: Yes.
3. As we find, there are many changes in the physical forces of the body since last we had same. Some are prone to make for eventual better conditions. Some, from the effect of the general weakness and lack of resistance through the body, work hardships upon the body.
4. A very natural consequence of the type of activity that has been the experience of the body is for such to remain as a disturbing factor. The very fact of the subjugation of the mind, the subjugation of the whole nervous system through the etheric - or ether - activities; and the very nature of an abdominal opening; causes the weakness.
5. We would have a series of some six osteopathic adjustments and general relaxings for stimulating and setting up better associations in the coordinating of the cerebrospinal and sympathetic system. Have two each week until six have been taken, then rest from them for some two weeks; then have another series of the same.
6. As indicated by the subjugation of the nerve forces and consciousness, the incoordination between the cerebrospinal and the sympathetic system becomes the deflecting activity. Hence the periods of weakness, the periods of not being able to be up or doing and still not feeling any worse; or feeling bad mornings or evenings and the next day possibly feeling better. These are from this incoordination, see? Hence the lumbar axis, the 9th dorsal and throughout those areas of the upper cervical and portions of the dorsal should be the specific centers relaxed, and then stimulated to their activity and coordination with the general activities of the central nervous system.
7. Relax GENTLY, of course, the area in the caecum, and the draining of the gall duct, so as to set up better assimilation. This should come in the second series or activities in such adjustments or treatments.
8. We would again take a series of Atomidine; one minim in half a glass of water before the morning meal three days each week, - say, Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays only of each week, - throughout the period of taking the osteopathic treatments. But leave this off during the period there is the rest from the osteopathic treatments, see? Only take three days each week DURING the series of the adjustments, and leave off at other times.
9. DO NOT continue the Gold, until these two series of the better adjustments are made with the body functionings.
10. Throughout the period be mindful as to the diets and the eliminations.
11. Do not take quantities of fats, ever. Not that the body is to abstain from the use of butter or crisp bacon occasionally, but the fats of any meats should NOT be included in the diet. Use principally fish, fowl and lamb as the meats.
12. Fresh vegetables or fruits should be the greater portion of one meal each day, - not that this is to become just a matter of routine, but it should be considered first - that one meal each day should consist either of the fresh raw vegetables or fresh fruit, - that is, the greater part of same.
13. Take plenty of citrus fruits and citrus fruit juices, and also the whole grain cereals - as the whole grain of oats or wheat, or a combination of wheat and barely (as in Maltex or the like). DO NOT have the fruits AND the cereals at the same meal, however. Alternate these, having the citrus fruits three or four mornings a week - as the orange juice, grape fruit, pineapple, lemons or the like; and then having the cereals the other mornings, and so on.
14. Doing these, and not overtaxing in any direction, we should make for much bettered conditions with this body.
15. Ready for questions.
16. (Q) What causes tightness and swelling in hip and leg?
    (A) The incoordination of the circulation and the eliminations between the sympathetic and cerebrospinal nervous systems that supply the energies of the circulation, both superficial and deeper circulation, through the body.
    Hence, as indicated, the specific centers needing attention - the lumbar and sacral areas for the circulation to the lower limbs, and the brachial center with the arms and the cervicals for the head and the internal portions of the body.
17. (Q) The stuffy feeling of head?
    (A) We have just given it.
18. (Q) Is it still possible for me to have a child?
    (A) It is still possible, but there must be definite corrections before there should be even the desire or the undertaking in such a direction.
    Do these things first, and then we may be able to give further instructions, if such is desired, after the series. But do all that we have given.
19. We are through for the present.

REPORTS

1. 1/17/44 [2432]'s ltr. to EC:
   DEAR MR CAYCE,
   Some time ago I wrote you for A second reading I was unable, to use it as I had lost my first one. Would you please send me a copy, of my first and second readings, in the mean time we move to ... and I have lost or mislaid the second one. I am visiting, in ... for a week so you may send my answer to this address, ... Street, ..., Ohio.
   You ask me to explain, about my operation, it was an ectopic pregnancy. They didn't remove the tubes. I had taken, the atomidine, and had taken all my Ostoepathic treatments, when they found I has pregnant in my tube, I didn't get to take any of the gold and soda solution.
   I was operated on, April 2nd, 1941, I have tried to become pregnant, but have no luck, would you suggest, a new reading or, still use the one I have. I want very much to become pregnant, and I know if I follow your advise, it will be possible, so if you think I should have, a new reading let me know, and I will remain in ... until after my appointments. I am enclosing $10.00 dollars, let me know my balance. And I will mail it to you as things are much better now than they were. Thank you so much for your past advise, and kindness, and I sincerely, hope this time I have better luck. Thank you again, God bless you and your good work.
   Hoping to hear from you soon
2. 9/23/44 She wired $12 & said she was waiting for her Oct. 3rd appt. I wired back the money & told her Mr. C. ill, etc. GD.
3. 9/23/44 [2432]'s letter to EC:
   Dear Mr. Cayce
   I received your letter, advising me of my appointment Oct. 2nd. I wired you the balance due $12.00, from Ohio, rather than put the money in a letter. I think in my wire I had the 3rd of Oct. instead of the 2nd, however I know it is the 2nd, so will be here in ... My mother isn't expected to live, and that is the reason I am running back and forth. She has a very bad case of (cirrhosis) of the liver. They tap her stomach every 2 weeks to drain the bile off. I had thot of giving her some 'Atomidine' to see if it would help any, would like to make an appointment for her, but you are so busy, and she may go at any time. That is what the Dr.'s say. I am sorry to hear of your ill health and I know all of us who know you, I am sure, are asking God to bless you. Hoping you are feeling better now. God bless you and your's Mr. Cayce. Now to begin with my troubles. After my first reading I became pregnant in my left tube, and of course an operation was performed. They did not remove my tubes, they opened both of them, and after my second reading, I felt fine. My leg does not swell only a slight bit now and then. Now I feel I am ready for this one (as you advised me). In August I had my tubes exrayed and they are both closed again, so I want to have a baby, and I know I can, if my reading comes and I can get started with my treatments. After I am finished with this reading, I want to have a life reading Mr. Cayce. I can write and let you know. One question I want to ask. Should I not have any intercourse during my treatments because, I am afraid of getting pregnant in my tubes again. Hoping you regain your very good health soon. I am blessing you and all of yours in my prayers.
   I am thanking you Very Kindly
   Mrs. [2432] ..., Michigan
4. 9/26/44 [2432]'s letter to EC:
   Dear Mr. Cayce
   Just received your notice that you will be unable to keep my appointment for Oct. 3rd. When may I have an appointment? Mr. Cayce I am starting on my first reading again since I can't have this appointment, as the reading was for the same purpose. I am taking the Atomidine now. Do you advise this? And do I lose my membership as I had sent $10.00 before I wired the $12.00. Let me know if it will be all right to go ahead with my first reading. I explained in my letter as to what was wrong. Hoping you are in much better health when you receive this.
   I remain Mrs. [2432] ..., Michigan
5. 10/07/44 We wrote her of EC's illness and suggested that she repeat the treatment in 2432-2 rather than 2432-1. GD.
