TEXT

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, [2546].
As we find, conditions are disturbing in the physical forces of the body. These may become rather serious. For, there is a complication of disturbances, and many varied influences have been and are contributory causes to the disturbance - until there has become a glandular as well as a functional disturbance that bring about the disorders apparent.
These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [2546].
The blood supply indicates a disturbance through the functioning of organs as well as a glandular reaction. For, as is understood, the blood receives impulses - through activities of organs supplied by glandular influence in those organs, or in glands themselves - through which portions of the lymph and emunctory activity produce a plasm that is to become active in the muscular forces, the nerve tissue, the tendons and the replenishing or rebuilding of the organs themselves.
The hindrances that have arisen, as we find, come from an unbalancing of a chemical condition in the blood supply, in the bodily functionings of the organs, as well as from subluxations that have been a contributory cause; and the entrance into the bodily function - as related to glands - of influences taken for the subsidization of an infectious force.
These combinations, or complications, have produced a form of condition in which the nerves refuse to function, or there is a lack of energies supplied; and these bring about weaknesses and contractions, and organic disturbance, and the muscular forces and tendons are affected; upsetting the digestive system, the lungs, and the body forces themselves.
All of these become a part of the conditions.
These as we find are the sources, the causes of the disturbances. While all of these in the present remain hidden or as latent conditions, we find that - unless changes are brought about - there may be either the separations, segregations in the body, or disturbances become so severe as to organic functionings as to form into pockets; or pressures of organs become so involved as to produce spots or blemishes, or the formations of tumors in various portions of the body.
As yet these are not apparent, but are tendencies.
Then, in making applications that would be beneficial, all of these things should be taken into consideration.
First we must apply in the activities of the blood supply those things that are lacking in the glandular forces. Principally we find these in the lack of calcium, the lack of acids in portions of the body and the vitamins for the resistive forces.
Then, these we would supply to the system, but under the activities of the impulses being released so that the system may ADJUST itself to near normalcy, and the eliminations being kept increased to remove the poisons and replace same by the vital energies in the body.
First, then:
At least three times each week take CALCIOS, which is soluble calcium that will add to the structural forces of the body. Take sufficient to thinly spread on a whole wheat cracker, three times each week.
Only about once each day, preferably at the evening meal, take half a teaspoonful of ACIGEST stirred in a glass of RAW milk. This cannot be used in milk that has been run through a machine. It should be raw milk. It may be cooled, or may be entirely fresh from the cow.
In the diet we would add especially Vitamin B-1 and the B series. But we would take the Vitamin B-1 in capsules or injections; preferably the capsule. Not more than one dosage of the B-1 as a dose should be necessary, if the others are supplied in the diet.
Hence in the diet use all of those foods that have been reinforced, - as in cereals, citrus fruits - but do not use citrus fruits - but do not use citrus fruits and cereals at the same meal; alternate these. Especially have vegetables and fruits that are yellow in color; as carrots, squash, yellow peaches, and all of these forms. Beef juices should be taken; preferably not so much in steak but in stews. These are better, and kidneys - kidney stew, liver, all forms of the internal organs that are kosher killed, or prepared in a manner in which there is the inspection to be sure that there are no infections of any kind or character. Let all of these be taken often in the diet.
Throughout the period let there be made special corrections osteopathically, in the specific areas of the lumbar and sacral axis, - 9th dorsal and from the 3rd and 4th dorsal to the upper cervicals.
These should be made at least twice each week for a series of fifteen. Rest from these about two weeks, and then have another series.
Take the other properties throughout the period.
And doing these, we would bring the better influences, eliminate the causes, and bring bettered conditions for this body.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Will Dr. [John H.] Newman be willing to carry out these instructions?
(A) As we find, he will be willing if there is the insistence.
(Q) Am I doing anything to aggravate the condition?
(A) The diets at some times. These as we find should be watched. Keep away from fats, the mixing of too many starches, or those food values that carry too much of carbonated waters. Occasionally Coca-Cola is very good for the kidneys, but this should be in plain water - NOT carbonated.
We are through for the present.

REPORTS

8/16/41 [2546]'s letter to EC:
..., N.Y.
Mr. Edgar Cayce Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment Virginia Beach, Virginia
Dear Mr. Cayce,
This is the first opportunity that I have had to write you giving you the history of my case. In 1936 this condition came on me in my room in the Hunington Hotel in Hunington Pa. It was a very sudden attact [attack] that put me on my knees with very severe pain in the pit of my stomach and running back to the spine to the third and fourth Dorsal. I was in this condition for three days with a Dr. all the time and did not get any relief until I called in a Chiropractor he gave me relief and was able to get some sleep. In this time I had lost forty three pounds. I had complete Exrays taken and from this time to 1938 was in three Hospitals for observation, I also took eighteen continuous treatments Abrams Methods in Brooklyn N.Y. In this time the Medical men told me I had everything Gall Stones, Stomach Ulcers, Cancer and what have you. But about this time I ran across Dr. White from Penn Yan New York and also had been taking treatments from Dr. Stinebaugh Dean of the Universal School of Chiropractors in Pittsburgh. With the help of these two and also some things that I had worked out for myself I knew that the Drs. that I had first was talking through there that because I would have been dead or a lot worse, which of course was not the case as I had gained considerable strength and also started back to work. The trouble I had was combining what I knew about myself, the M.D.'s advice and the Chiropractors. I might also say that every Exray and all of the tests that they ran at the Hospitals and I think they gave me all of them turned out to be negative.
I feel that you have combined all of my trouble and also gave me the information that seemed impossible for me to get, I have taken four treatments from Dr. Newman and also have been taking the medicine. Dr. Newman said that you had surely called the cards on me and was very enthusiastic about it all and I am very sorry and so was he that I couldn't stay in Birmingham to complete the job, but now I am home for two wks. I hope and will continue with Dr. Pike of Albany, who I believe is very familiar with your methods.
I would like you to know that I more than appreciate your help and have responded to the treatments also that I knew the time that you had contacted me in the reading and when you were through. I checked it with my watch. I am also very thankful to Mr. [470] and Mrs. [1100] for telling me of you and I think that you will agree when I say this would would be a lot better off if we had more people like both of them.
Yours very truely, [2546]
10/19/41 (Sunday) [2546]'s letter to EC:
[Letterhead:] One of Kentucky's Finest Hotels - Henry Clay Hotel - Fireproof - 150 Rooms - Herbert R. Smith, Manager - Ashland, Ky.
Dear Mr. Cayce,
I thought perhaps that you would like to hear from me in regards to my treatments. I have finished the first half and have a course started on the second. Was very fortunate in as much as after I had taken four treatments in Alabama I came home and had a three weeks vacation and also had a very good Dr. Of course while I was home I could do and get anything I wanted and the second week I was home all of the gas that builds up completely disappeared and no one only myself knows how much better I felt.
Since starting back to work again I have not been in one place long enough except for Pittsburgh where I had four treatments from the same Dr. This of course isn't so good and not only that but it has been just about impossible for me to get raw milk and I have had to discontinue the Acigest for this reason and have wondered if you could tell me a different way to take it. I didn't think it fair to myself or you to continue this without letting you know, not only that but I do know how my system took in the Calcios and also that I feel a great deal better with a great deal more endurance than I had before.
Trusting that you might be able to help me on this question as you have helped me before.
Yours very truly, [2546]
12/41 [2546]'s letter [from Henry Clay Hotel] to EC:
Dear Mr. Cayce,
Enclosed you will please find my check for $10. for which I would like very much for you to give me a check reading. I expect to be here until about Jan. 15th and would like very much if you could give me the reading on a Saturday or Sunday as this seems to be the only time that I could be sure of.
As I have told you I am a thousand per cent better in every way and have not had a sign of an attack until this last vacation when I went home for Xmas and think that this was brought on because I was over tired, fortunately it was a light one but was very sorry to have any as I know that it will cause my wife to worry.
I of course have finished the treatments in my first reading and have tried to follow it as closely as possible, but have slipped up on the Acigest as I told you before and wish that there might be some other way to take it as it is nearly impossible to get raw milk, also any suggestions as to holding down my weight will be appreciated as I have gained about twenty pounds and think that I am getting too heavy.
I also want to take this opportunity to wish you and Mrs. Cayce a very happy New Year and also thank you for all that you have done for me.
Yours truly, [2546]
