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, [2455]; this we have had before.
As we find, conditions in the main at present are very good. Those tendencies and inclinations which have been indicated have been and are being improved.
Thus, we would give that those applications as suggested for improvements be continued in the main near as we have outlined, with some minor changes.
First, we would continue rather closely to the diet; though the condition in a great measure has disappeared we find that the inclination needs to be kept in abeyance and the cause of the condition eradicated entirely. Much of this comes, then, from the diet.
At least irregularly, or regularly at given periods, we would keep the Violet Ray as it has been indicated for the body. Do not let it be too haphazardly given, but have regular periods for taking it and regular periods for leaving it off. Keep it for three to four rounds or periods in the manner indicated, then leave it off for three to four periods, and so on, you see - for some time after the condition is entirely corrected.
Occasionally, - say at least twice each month, - have a good, thorough osteopathic treatment.
At least once a month have a good, thorough colonic irrigation. One month may be skipped out of four or five, but keep this up for the time being; at least for several months.
For the conditions in the lower limbs and the feet, - we would massage these thoroughly with Peanut Oil.
For the conditions of hardening, as on toe, we would use a mixture of baking soda and Castor Oil. Do not bind up, but massage this on after the feet AND the lower limbs - from the knees downward - have been massaged thoroughly with the Peanut Oil. Do this at least three to four times a week; and the condition - it will be found - will disappear.
For the disturbance in the organs of the pelvis, have a gynecologist's opinion. For, as we find, there needs to be some correction there, that there be no disturbance from the curvatures which exist in the present.
If curetting is done, this necessarily is partly operative. This would be the better manner, unless there were the packing and this kept up for a period of two to three weeks - and this would prevent operative measures. But this should be the choice of one making such examinations.
Do these things, and as we find we will keep bettered conditions.
We would keep closer to the grape juice, if we would keep down the weight.
Ready for questions.
(Q) What causes pain in lower part of back?
(A) This is a reflex condition. The correction of the disturbance with the pelvic organs will relieve this, and it will also be aided by the same massage as used for the feet - the Peanut Oil massaged across the lower back, you see. This is a sympathetic condition.
(Q) Please give exact diet to eliminate psoriasis.
(A) This has been indicated. Do not become so given to diet as to say "I can't eat this," and "I shouldn't do that," but follow closely that as has been suggested. Keep away from those combinations of starches, from fats, and from those things as indicated. DO take plenty of the fruit juices, kraut juices, tomato juices, and those to aid in the eliminations. Prune juices and those of such natures are beneficial.
(Q) Should this diet be continued even after psoriasis has disappeared from body?
(A) As has been indicated, it should be continued for some months afterward.
(Q) What causes frequent pains through my head?
(A) These are sympathetic from pressures on pelvis AND feet.
(Q) What causes flickering in the right eye? Are glasses needed?
(A) As we find, when the conditions in the pelvic organs are corrected, there should not be the need for glasses. For, the pressures as made upon the bladder and the kidneys reflex themselves in the sympathetic nerves to the eyes.
(Q) Is there any other suggestion for removing psoriasis from my scalp?
(A) Those things as indicated, using the Carbolated Vaseline, are the better to use.
Do these and, as we find, we will bring and keep the better forces for this body.
(Q) Is the osteopathic treatment necessary for the psoriasis?
(A) It is a part of that treatment.
We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

See 2455-1 and 2455-2.
9/25/41 She submitted questions: "Is an operation necessary to put my womb and female organs back in place, or what would you advise? What causes pains in lower part of back? What causes frequent pains through my head? Flickering in right eye? Are glasses needed? What causes the thick nail, and growth under it, on the big toe of my left foot? Is this a corn, a wart, or psoriasis, and how should it be treated? Should osteopathic tr. be continued; if so, how often and of what nature? If violet ray rod is to be continued, for what length of time?"

REPORTS

1/23/42 See 2455-4.
About 6 mos. after 2455-4, verbal report: "The psoriasis condition has cleared entirely with exception of places in scalp. A flare-up came once or twice when not careful about diet."
1/67 Jess Stearn reported on this case, after an interview with Mrs. [2455], in his book EDGAR CAYCE, THE SLEEPING PROPHET, on p. 165 of the hardback, under The Incurable Diseases chapter.
8/07/75 Mrs. [2455]'s daughter visited A.R.E. and talked to GD, reporting that Mrs. [2455] and husband are living in Calif. near their two sons. She has not been well lately; has had 2-3 slight strokes.
