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, [2526]; this we have had before.
As we find, there are considerable improvements in the general physical forces since last we had same here. While, to be sure, much is desired as yet, we find that there will be continued improvements if there is the consistent use of the Oil Packs over the affected areas, - on the limbs, arms and back, across the hips where the areas are hardened, - with the rest of the applications.
After each of the Oil Packs, when the area has been cleared with warm soda water, do apply the oils that have been indicated to be used in such disturbances.
Do use the Wet Cell Appliance, and keep the anodes or connections clean. Change the solutions sufficiently often, - these should be changed each fifteen days.
Doing these, we find there will be the continued improvements.
That there has been a cessation of the monthly periods is a natural consequence of the conditions, and these as we find will adjust themselves in the regular order. We find that this should not prove detrimental, if there is the care and attention throughout the periods of this relaxation.
There should be precautions as to diet.
Do not overtax the body physically. However, there should be sufficient exercise, and especially in the open; though any overtaxing - to be sure - produces the greater amount of drosses to be eliminated from the body, and these added to the natural results of the activities of the depressions in the superficial circulation, or depletions rather, cause an excess.
Then it is necessary at all times that the eliminations be kept well. These should include the occasional thorough colonic irrigation, - possibly once in a month or once in six weeks, at least. This should be given, though, scientifically.
Do these, if we would keep the better condition for this body.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Does working keep me from improving faster?
(A) As indicated, overtaxing the body does. For, as the body has experienced, the overtiring causes the more acidity, the more refuse forces. These cause stiffening to areas that are affected by the germ that causes these disorders in the body. The work or exercise taken in moderation is well, but excess causes distress.
(Q) Are my kidneys alright?
(A) These are acting very well, considering the general conditions. Drink plenty of water at all times.
(Q) Shall I stay on the same diet?
(A) As indicated, the diet is very good - and is necessary if there would be the better conditions for the body.
(Q) Would chiropractic treatments help me?
(A) We would not have these in the present. Later, the masseuse or osteopathic treatments would be beneficial, but not in the present, other than those massages following the Oil Packs and the bathing off of the areas as indicated. Not chiropractic treatments, though, even then, but osteopathic.
(Q) Will I ever get well?
(A) Will tomorrow ever come? This depends upon purposes, aims, desires, hopes and fears? Does the body desire to get well? Is God in His heaven? Are the lives and activities of those ye touch helped through thy spreading of His word? Do you need to get well? These are all answered in self. He withholds no good thing from those who serve Him. Let ALL remember that, believe it, know it! For it IS the truth! Each illness, each disturbance is SIN at thy door!
We are through with this Reading.

REPORTS

7/31/42 Letter from [2526] to EC: "As I have not had an answer from my letter will write again. As I told you I was very much pleased with my Rdg. and I am still feeling better except my right arm shoulder and up in my neck seems like get so tight at times till chockes [chokes?] me. My right arm seems like is bending more. But my left arm seems to be getting better. But I feel like I will be well again some day. I hope you have no boys in the Army. I have one 21 yrs. of age. He has not been drafted yet. He is a Flight Instructor. I am praying constantly for this war to soon be over and free all our boys..."
8/03/42 Letter from EC to Mrs. [2526]: "Have yours of the 31st - my last letter to you must have gone a stray as I do answer letters but believe sent it to another address, do hope you will be feeling better soon - would suggest you give those areas that give you trouble an extra dose of the oil packs - know that is a hard thing this hot weather, but if it will bring any help am sure you can and will stand the discomfort for an hour or so each day until it is much better.
"Then be sure and keep up the rest of the suggestions - don't overtax your self - and most of all don't worry - but just try and tell some mother how not to worry with a son liable to be sent to the army - yes, we have a son [Edgar Evans Cayce] in the Signal Corps. He just reported today to his assignment somewhere in Fla. - we do not know just where the other boy [Hugh Lynn Cayce] is liable to be called also at any time - the one in Fla. was commissioned as an officer in April.
"Just remember tho - 'Why worry when you can pray.' Thank you for letting me hear from you, Mrs. [2526], and do hope you will be feeling much better soon. Keep very close to the suggestions and feel that you will."
9/07/42 My skin is softening a lot. Seems like if my muscles would loosen up I would be lots better, but they are too tight and drawn. I suffer a lot with my arms and up in my neck. The skin on my lower limbs is soft and looks well but the muscles are tight. I can't get up and down very good. I would like to have a ck. Rdg. sometime soon. All the knuckles of my right hand are swollen and so tight I can hardly touch them.
