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, we have the body and those conditions and applications that have been made since last we had the body here.
3. In some respects, there is a betterment in the body. While as yet there is not a great deal of change in the abilities of locomotion, neither at times is there the proper coordination of the sensory forces with the cerebrospinal system, we find that there are those tendencies for improvements in the system. Thus with this change in the balance of chemical forces, there is to be the ability to produce nearer normal reactions in the body.
4. So, we find that minor changes should result in a great deal of helpful influences for body improvement, and thus enable the body to better coordinate throughout.
5. Ready for questions.
6. (Q) The treatment with gold chloride and silver nitrate and Glyco-Thymoline did increase the amount of those metals in the system slightly, but apparently had little effect unless it may have checked further progress of the condition. Should any or all of these be discontinued?
   (A) Rather would we continue them; using, now, over the caecum and the lower portion of the spine area, one day the Castor Oil Packs and the next day the Glyco-Thymoline Packs.
   Use two to three thicknesses of flannel well saturated in Hot Castor Oil, applied over the caecum and the lower end of the spine and the sacroiliac area and keep this on for about an hour. Cleanse the area afterwards by sponging off with a weak soda water.
   The next day apply, over the same area, the Glyco-Thymoline Packs. Use two or three thicknesses of cotton cloth well saturated in the commercial strength Glyco-Thymoline, body temperature. An electric pad may be used to keep the Packs warm for an hour, low heat.
   The Glyco-Thymoline, of course, is anti-acid, while the Castor Oil is acid, but the reactions will be such as to cause better eliminations through the colon and through the sacrum and caecum area and will aid in the elimination of poisons that naturally accumulate through the alimentary canal through the lack of activity, as well as, from the increase of circulation by the formations in the system from toxic conditions - produced by the excesses of the metal forces in body, so as to aid in eliminating these disturbances.
   Each day following the Packs (one used one day, one the next) give the body a gentle massage, but thorough; not attempting to break any of the segments apart, as it were, but using only muscular relaxation with the massage. There would not be corrective measures, as indicated but a massage to enable the emunctory and the lymph circulation, and the lymph centers and glands and lymph pockets or patches over various portions of this area, to carry the infiltration necessary to eliminate lesions in these areas. These are adhesions, rather than lesions, and may be eliminated by the application of these Packs. Take twenty to thirty minutes for giving the gentle massage through the whole of the lower abdomen and through the caecum area as well as the sacral and the area of the lower lumbars.
   Do not use other means or mix other chemicals in the body through the next period of these applications; and we should find much better results then by the compilation or combination of so many vibrations created in the body, for in so doing (that is overdoing) we hinder much of the good results that might come from following these suggestions indicated.
7. (Q) Then, we should not take the hyocine treatment or the "Hydrocotyle Asiatica"?
   (A) We should not take these nor the Belladonna.
8. (Q) Is there still a danger spot down toward the base on my left lung? It has bothered me from time to time but is not doing so now.
   (A) There is still some congestion. It is not necessarily a danger spot. If there is kept a good circulation, plenty of fresh air, plenty of the right kind of exercise, this should clear.
9. (Q) Do the exhaust gases from the auto traffic on our busy street, which at times blow in our windows, have an influence on my condition bad enough to warrant moving higher up in this building when we are able to make the exchange, or move elsewhere? If so can you give us any suggestion as to where to go, as you did to Mr. Cayce.
   (A) These as we find, while contributing somewhat to inconvenience, are not so detrimental as to warrant changes. There are other conditions (of course, of other natures) that would be more harmful to the general welfare of the mental and physical body by having to make such a change that would be much more detrimental.
   It would be much preferable to control the gases through the use of fumes to keep the air out of the house.
10. (Q) Do you care to suggest any changes in our diet or other habits?
    (A) The diet, as we find, is very good.
    As to other habits we would keep more in the open, especially during those periods from 10:30 to 11:00 or from 11:30 to 1:30 especially through these periods or these seasons, in the open and in the park, or in those places where there is fresh air and sunshine.
11. (Q) Can you give us any suggestions as to how to improve our immunity to frequent infections? Or are they the result of working out past karmic conditions? If so how soon will they be worked out and ended?
    (A) If precautionary measures are kept, as to producing the correct vibrations; that is, loosing certain electrical forces - as with the healing waves from the open machine - these should keep away any infectious tendencies. For, even karmic forces will be met in definite spiritual purposes.
12. (Q) Do you see my condition entirely cleared up or at least enough for me to resume my public lectures? There is still some hesitation in speech, whereas I was formerly very fluent.
    (A) This, as we find should enable the body to be almost free and able to resume public lectures, for, again, as the body attempts to give out, it receives - and receives help that is creative and helpful in eliminating disturbing elements and influences of every nature about the body.
13. (Q) What can I do to clear up the congestion in my vocal cords and the hoarseness or foggy condition of my voice? It seems not to have improved under the above treatment.
    (A) Use a compound prepared in this manner: Beat the white of an egg very stiff, add a little sugar (very little), and the juice of half a lemon. Stir this, and take about half the quantity just before there is to be the lecture. After such a lecture, take the rest. This should create a clearing influence for the mucous membranes of throat, larynx and also contribute to betterment of purifying all the passages through which there are the activities of air as well as foods.
14. (Q) A surgical friend says my condition is due to reflex action from the caecum, and that if he could operate on it, free any adhesions, etc., it would cure my entire condition. Would you advise such an operation?
    (A) DO NOT operate. These are adhesions rather than lesions, and would not be materially benefited by operative forces.
15. (Q) How long should these Packs be kept up?
    (A) Until the lesions or adhesions are eliminated. This may be indicated especially by the color of stool, the activity of the kidneys, and the general feelings and abilities of the body through locomotories - until the body shows the greater improvement.
    But DO NOT combine so many things. These are not giving the opportunity for each of these elements that we have suggested to give their proper relationships or to create the dependency the system needs from these corrective forces that are being created now in the system.
    Do that. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. See 3011-1, on 5/22/43, for Parkinson's disease.

REPORTS

1. 9/23/43 Dr. [3011] wrote: "The report came this morning, and we shall do our best to carry out all instructions faithfully."
2. He submitted questions for his Mental-Spiritual Rdg. 3011-3.
3. 12/26/43 Wife [3248] wrote asking that the Wet Cell Appliance be sent, since Dr. [3011] did not seem to be benefitted radionically. See details and subsequent notations under 3011-1 Reports.
4. 3/09/71 Report from A.R.E. member on use of Castor Oil Packs for Parkinsons's:
   Assn. for Research & Enlightenment, Inc. P.O. BOX 595 Virginia Beach, Va., 23451
   Gentlemen: RE: FILE ON PARKINSON'S DISEASE
   *I wish to request your help in this matter - we had the original File on P.K. sent to us in 1968. I asked for it a second time only because it was indicated on the latest "List" sent me that it had been reworked.
   My sister is taking the new medication, El Dopa, and since Dr. McGarey is researching the use of Castor Oil Packs, I purchased a copy of the Booklet "Edgar Cayce & the Palma Christi". I received it, together with other purchases from A.R.E. Press after requesting the Library File. I think it answered my questions regarding the use of the Packs while making use of other medication prescribed by her Medical Doctor (but we would not mention same to her doctor).
   *If you think our findings would be of use to Dr. McGarey, please add a note to that effect with my File Request Card when you return it. Or forward this letter to him.
   We used the Castor Oil Packs on her abdomen and on her lower back, as well as a series of Chiropractic Adjustments, during 1969 into 1970. The Dr. of Chiropractic x-rayed her lower spine and found a curvature to the left, causing the left leg to be longer, pulling up the right, causing difficulty in walking. Her medical doctor never has taken such an x-ray as he seems to feel her imbalance is due to a broken hip in 1967 and a heart attack in 1968 - all traceable to the Parkinson's Disease. However, after we started using the Castor Oil Packs he did seem to "scratch his head" over the fact that she did not worsen more rapidly, and at one time wondered "out loud" about the situation. (Prior to use of L. Dopa.)
   I eliminated the Packs when she began the other medication in July 1970 as I feared one might interfere with the other. However, with Dr. McGarey's findings as shown in the Palma Christi booklet, I have resumed giving her these treatments, three days a week, and she says they help eliminate a constipation problem. I have not resumed chiropractic treatments for the same reason, though I cannot see that they would be detrimental.
   Am returning the File on Alcoholism, for which I thank you.
   Sincerely yours, Ann R. Moore Annabelle R. Moore, (Mrs.) 8372 Stansbury Ave. Panorama City, Calif., 91402
