TEXT

1. 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; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here: [2845].
3. As we find, there are tendencies which are causing disturbance to this body. These have caused, and will, unless corrections are made, a great deal more disturbance.
4. As we find, there has been the inclination, because of poor eliminations, for the formation of a plethoric condition in the ascending and part of the transverse colon. These make pressures upon the circulation between heart, liver, lungs, and kidneys and thus we have an irregularity and abnormal condition in blood pressures, a tendency for a neuritic-arthritic condition in limbs and in the extremities of the body. Even at times we have suppressions to the eyes and twitching of the face or the cheek, conditions which are caused by the suppressions with activities and the irregularities through the nervous system of the body.
5. There would be first scientifically given, at least two to three high colonic irrigations. These should not be too close together, and do use soda and salt and have an intestinal antiseptic in the rinse water. Either use Glyco-Thymoline or Petrolager, (plain). Either of these would be used afterward in body-temperature water. The soda and salt, a heaping teaspoonful to a gallon of water thoroughly dissolved, and have at least ten days or two weeks between the periods these colonics are given.
6. Then (not before) have the adjustments osteopathically in the sacral, through the lumbar, and coordinate these areas with the cervicals and the brachial center of the body.
7. Thus we will find a much better reaction through the system, bringing about a better condition in the ability of the body to rest or to gain rest by the attempts for sleep, we'll find the conditions in hands and limbs improving and especially where there have been the tendencies for the circulation to get to the lower limbs and not return so easily, or varicose veins as inclined to be the condition in hip and knee, all of these will be really improved. Do use more raw vegetables in the diet. And prepare these oft with gelatin.
8. Do that, if we would make better conditions for the body.
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) Is the skin condition, which I have had for years, due to improper diet?
    (A) Due to the poor eliminations. These will be materially aided by using the prescription DDD, for the allaying of the itching and the tendencies for scaling at times, until eliminations are much better set up through the colonics and with the adjustments which need to be made, the conditions in head, all of these, are combinations of the same conditions.
11. We are through with this reading.

    Two copies to Self (one for the osteopath - When ready for these treatments we would refer you to Dr. C. R. Wakeling, 220 Clarendon St., Boston, Mass.)
    Copy to Ass'n file
    Two for indexing

REPORTS

1. 7/25/44 [2845]'s ltr. to EC:
   ..., Mass.
   Dear Mr. Cayce,
   I will try and squeeze out a few minutes from my busy days to write and thank you for my reading and I shall do exactly what I am told.
   I wondered if you found it rather difficult to read for me that day for I was far from being calm and quiet. I was never busier in my life and had a houseful of company, that had just arrived. My oldest son with his bride came home from Texas to spend his furlough with us and also another one of my sons had come back from England, so due to conditions I did not have any time for peace and quiet for two weeks except the early hours of the morning before the family arose.
   I am well satisfied with my reading and I know I will be greatly helped. I will keep you informed as to the results of the treatments.
   I suppose you are still so very busy these terrifically hot days and my prayers go out to you always.
   Do you hear good news from your lovely sons? I'm sure they are both shining lights for the furtherance of God's kingdom, wherever they chance to be. God Bless them and bring them back soon, stronger and with a greater understanding than ever before.
   I was sorry to again miss the Congress this year, and look forward to coming another year if all goes well.
   Do hope that all is well with you and yours, I will close with my best regards to all. May God give you strength and courage to fulfil your purpose here.
   Sincerely
2. 8/16/44 EC's letter to Mrs. [2845]: "Pardon me for not replying to yours of July 25th sooner, but I have been trying to get a bit of rest, and trying to get to feeling better. Maybe I have had the rest, but I don't feel much better! I am just, today, undertaking to do something about the great amount of correspondence on my desk.
   I am sure you are kept quite busy, and we are very glad to hear from you from time to time.
   I don't recall just at present, but I suppose you can tell from the information itself, as to whether there was any anxiety indicated at the time of your reading. I can understand how there must have been some confusion for you, having so many, and under such circumstances it would have been very well if you could have let us know about this so we could have changed the time for you, but I do hope that you got just what is needed at the present time, and that you will soon be feeling your normal self again.
   I wish you could have been with us at the Congress. I am sure you would have enjoyed meeting some who were here.
   We hear from the boys regularly. One is in France now. They both seem to be getting on very well. We can only put them in the hands of the Lord, and trust all will be well.
   Thanks a lot, and do let us hear from you from time to time, and if we can be the means of help, know we are more than glad to do so."
